My Sweet Lavinia

Sophie's eyes were red and puffy from all the crying that she had been doing. The shock had finally gone away and in it's place had come depression. The funeral of her best friend had been a few days ago. Since then she had barely left her apartment or answered her phone. Her mother had been begging her to get outside and do something. Anything besides locking herself away from the outside world. That was the only reason that Sophie had shed her pajamas, showered and tried making herself look halfway decent. Although all she had done was slip into a form fitting, plain black t-shirt and a pair of jeans that were ripped in the knees. Her somewhat damp hair was thrown up in a careless bun.She had no clue where she was supposed to go since she didn't have classes for the next few weeks. Where was she supposed to go? What was she supposed to do? She had cut herself off from the rest of her friends as soon as she had heard the news about Kacey.

Who would want to see her? The list was very small and she wasn't sure she would be very good company. Her car keys sat on the coffee table in her living room along with her purse. She snatched them up while walking towards the front door. At the same time she shrugged on an over sized sweatshirt that she had snagged from her best guy friend's closet months ago. He had yet to ask for it back and she wasn't exactly ready to give it up just yet. She pulled the zipper up, trudging towards her car and quickly getting in. Her hands were nearly shaking as she put the key into the ignition and started it up. Her fingers curled around the steering wheel and her eyes were focused on the windshield. After taking a few deep breaths she forced herself to put the car in reverse and backed out of the driveway. Even though she had no idea where she was going, she figured she would just drive until she arrived somewhere. It wasn't the best idea but at least it was an idea. It was something better then moping in her room all day as well.

After driving for about twenty minutes Sophie found herself parked in front of her best friend's house. She turned the car off and pocketed her keys. She had no idea if he even wanted to see her but figured it was worth a try. Her movements were slow as she walked up the front path and then the front steps. Her hand reaching out and her index finger pressing down on the doorbell.

Drew was a mess of emotions as he stared at the letter in his hands. He kept reading the last line over and over again 'I love you'. He wasn't sure how to really react to any of this. He hadn't been sure a week and a half ago when he received the phone and he wasn't sure how to deal with it now a few days after the funeral. He had been locked up in his room from the second he got back from helping Kacey's mom clean up after the funeral until now. Only really leaving his room to shower and eat. He had over several missed calls from worried friends and family calling to check on how he was doing. He was sad. He was angry. He was depressed. Confused, hurt. All these emotions because of one person's decision.

He had been with Kacey two days before her death. They had spent the day at home watching movies and just enjoying each other's company. She seemed happy at the time but it pained him to think that something might have been going on internally with her and he hadn't realized it. He hadn't taken a moment to ask her if everything was okay. If she was actually happy. Maybe if he had asked if she was happy then she would of confessed what she was thinking and he could have saved her. Reading that letter she had written him had made him more than sure this was supposed to be the woman he was supposed to marry. She had sacrificed it all for her best friend. His best friend. Their best friend. She was willing to put her best friend's happiness before her own and that angered Drew more than anyone could ever imagine.

He was snapped out of his thoughts by the ringing of the doorbell but he made no move to get up. He figured his mother would be downstairs and would open the door for whoever it was. He wasn't in the mood to see or speak to anyone so he hoped it wasn't someone looking for him. After a few moments of waiting he realized his mother hadn't opened the door. Sighing he stood up from his bed, fixing the gray sweatpants he had and walking over to the window. He didn't bother to see who was at the door or look for their car. He just saw that his mother's car wasn't in the driveway which meant he was home alone. He let out an annoyed sigh and grabbed a white beater from the floor, throwing it over his bare chest before stalking his way down the long staircase.

He opened the door and his eyes became dark and angry from who he saw standing there. Sophie. Looking all lost and innocent when Drew knew that she wasn't. He felt so much anger toward his best friend and he had to do his best from slamming the door in her face. "What do you want?" He asked rudely, glaring down at her. His voice was deep and raspy because that was the first word he had uttered in two days.

A few minutes had passed since Sophie had rang the doorbell. Part of her wondering if anyone was even home. She had not seen a car in the driveway so maybe no one was home. She was about to turn to head back towards her car when she thought she heard footsteps on the other side of the door. Apparently someone was home and that thought was on some level comforting. Even though it would be like pulling teeth to admit it, she was tired of being alone. Although it had been her choice to be alone for the past few days. That didn't mean that it was the best idea for someone in her position. The door cracked open to show Drew behind it and he looked like hell. He was probably in worse shape then she was and he had all the more reason to be. He had been in love with Kacey, the two had been engaged and Kacey had already been planning the wedding. It had hurt Sophie that Kacey was with the one guy that she actually felt something for. However she had been trying to hide her feelings and be happy for her two friends.

The three of them had been inseparable growing up. Their parents used to joke and call them the three musketeers. As they got older though Sophie couldn't help but feel almost like she was a third wheel. Drew had never known about it since she knew how to keep her mouth shut. Kacey had only found out by mistake and Sophie had made her promise not to say anything. What would be the point of it? It wouldn't change anything and only make things more awkward for Sophie. So it had been their secret for as long as Sophie could remember. A gasp nearly escaped from Sophie when she saw the look on Drew's face. Anger, pure anger was in them and instantly worry soared through her.

Had she done something wrong? They hadn't spoken since they both had found out about Kacey's death. The last time she had seen him was at the funeral and they had barely spoken. What could she have done besides not speak to him? The only reason that she hadn't was because she thought he might not want to see her. She had only gone to his house because that was where her body had led her. However it seemed that Sophie had made a mistake as soon as she heard the words that fell from his lips. His voice was deep and raspy sounding. Her eyes went down to the ground and she suddenly felt nervous. Part of her felt stupid for thinking that he would want to see her since she probably only reminded him of Kacey.

A sigh fell from her lips as she struggled to figure out what to say. What could she say? She wasn't even sure why she had come to his house and rang the doorbell. Her stomach began to knot up but she forced herself to look up at him," I...I guess I came to see how you are doing." How cliche and stupid did that sound? She felt like an absolute idiot but there was no taking back what she had said. Instead she had to stand there and wait for him to say or do something.

Drew didn't say anything as Sophie told him the reason for her being there. He wasn't sure how to answer such an obvious question so he just stood there and looked down at her angrily. He knew to some extent that it wasn't her fault what Kacey had done because he had been the only one to know exactly what happened and why but Sophie knew that Kacey and him were in love and she still made Kacey feel bad for acting on her feelings. He didn't want to see Sophie. Now or ever for that matter. Not only was he angered from what he knew about her but she also reminded him of Kacey.

Kacey and Sophie looked nothing alike but the three of them had been best friends since they were children and a lot of Sophie's mannerisms were the same as Kacey's and it hurt him to see this. He had been in love with Kacey and had even proposed to her 6 months before. He remembered going to Sophie's house when he had gotten the engagement ring from his grandmother, who had passed hers down to him, and telling Sophie that it was time and that Kacey was the one he wanted to spend his life with. She had been happy for him and congratulated him, telling him that she wanted to be the first to know when he did it. And when he proposed 3 days later in the middle of the park while the snow was falling, Sophie's house was the first one they had stopped at to let her know the good news. Was that all just ac act, though? It had to be. Drew couldn't believe this had been going on for so long and he hadn't noticed it.

He took a deep breath and let it out slowly letting his hand fall from the cold brass doorknob and onto the side of his body. "Oh I don't know. I feel amazing considering the fact that my fiance was just buried," He replied sarcastically rolling his eyes at Sophie. "How do you think I'm feeling? The girl I'm in love with was taken away from me. You figure it out, Soph." He said, his tone softening a bit but still holding an underlining of anger.

With every moment that passed as she stood on the front porch, Sophie became more uneasy. Had coming over been such a good idea? From the look on Drew's face it did not seem like it. She slid her hands into the pockets of the sweatshirt that hung from her frame, needing something to do with them. The answer that he gave her was dripping with sarcasm and venom. Yet again Vera couldn't help but feel as if she had done something wrong. Although she couldn't even think of anything that she had done to piss him off. She let out a frustrated groan, reaching to tuck a few strands of hair that had fallen in her face," I..don't know why I asked such a stupid question, I'm sorry." Why in the world was she apologizing? She almost felt like she should apologize even though she had no clue in the slightest what she had done wrong. The both of them were going through a hard time but Drew was taking it harder then she was. He had lost the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.

Sophie could still remember the day that he had shown up at her house to show her the ring he was going to give to Kacey. Never before, had she seen him so damn happy. It had hurt to see it but she had put on a smile and congratulated him. Then when the two showed up at her house, covered in snow and smiles on their faces she had already known what had happened. Yet again, she had put on a fake smile and wished them all the best. She had even gone as far as offering Kacey any help that she needed with wedding plans. She glanced around, not sure what to say," I honestly don't even know why I came here, I was told to get out of the house and I just started driving and ended up here." At least she was being honest with him," I'm sorry if I bothered you and I can go if you don't want me around."

At least she was being nice and offering to leave him alone. She knew that he probably wanted to be alone just like she wanted to be alone. However at least she had tried getting out of the house. Although from the looks of things that was going to be exactly where she ended up in a matter of seconds. Her teeth sunk into her lower lip and she was waiting anxiously for him to say something. She hated waiting, it had never been a strong point of hers.

Drew seemed satisfied with Sophie's answer and was just about to shut the door in her face when something inside of him stopped him. It was Kacey. If she were here she would of let Sophie in and talked to her about everything. She'd be mad, sure, but she wouldn't shut Sophie out because if Drew wanted to be honest with himself then Sophie was all that he had left. She meant just as much to him as Kacey did and he knew that if he pushed her away now then he'd have no one. He wasn't going to completely trust and let Sophie in but he would try to make an effort to mend their friendship.

Sighing he opened the door even more for Sophie to come in. He wasn't sure how this was going to work out but the first signs of anger raging in his body he would kick Sophie out. "I never said that, Soph. Don't be so dramatic and come in," He told her rolling his eyes. He hated when Sophie would play the victim and act like they didn't want her around. She had played that card a lot in their friendship, especially after Kacey and him started going out and it annoyed him to no end. The only reason he had never said anything to him was because Kacey said she would take care of the issue.

He knew if Kacey was here right now she would be cursing him out for his rude behavior. Even when Sophie was annoying her she would keep a calm composure and wouldn't let the girl's actions get to her. Drew let out an inward sigh. He didn't know how he was going to remain strong when he felt so much pain inside of himself. He just wanted to crawl inside of a ball at that moment and sleep the day away.

xGoodxGirlxGonexBadx · by **xGoodxGirlxGonexBadx** on Sun Aug 14, 2011 5:01 pm

The minutes that passed by seemed to be like hours as Sophie stood there. It was hard for her to not tell him to make him up his mind but that would probably be rude. Plus she wasn't in the mood to start a fight with him. It wasn't like they fought often but it was a hard time for the both of them. Emotions were clearly running high and there was no need to add more stress to the both of them. She was waiting for him to tell her to leave or invite her in. She heard him sigh before she saw that he was opening the door further to allow her in. She also noticed him rolling his eyes after he told her not to be so dramatic. Instead of saying anything in response she merely nodded before stepping in past him. She glanced around, still moving timidly as if she was afraid that she would do something wrong. From the looks of it, Drew was on edge and she didn't want to make him snap.

She glanced down as she slid off her shoes, remembering how his mother was about shoes being worn in the house. It almost felt strange for her to be in his house again. She started to walk towards the living room and slowly plopped down onto the couch. Part of her wasn't even sure what she should say. It wasn't like she had planned on going to his house in the first place. All she had done was gotten in her car and started driving. Normally she would go to Kacey's house but obviously she wasn't going to be doing that anymore," You know, everyone is really worried about you," she paused, wondering if she should keep saying what she was," Including me but I wasn't sure you would want to see me." That much was true, she hadn't been sure. Even though she knew Drew very well he was still somewhat unpredictable to her.

She was staring down at her denim clad legs and her hands rested at her sides. It was the first time in a long time that she had felt nervous around him. She glanced up towards him, taking a deep breath," I know that this is hard, but we can't keep ourselves shut up in our houses for the rest of our lives." Her words might seem harsh but she was just being honest. She didn't want him to not go on living just because Kacey was gone.

Drew waited for Sophie to be all the way inside before he shut the door and followed her into the living room. He watched as she sat down on the couch and opted for standing near the edge of the couch as he shoved his hands into the pockets of his grey sweatpants. He didn't know what to say to the brunette that had suddenly appeared at his door. He wasn't sure what Sophie was even doing there. They hadn't talked much since the news of Kacey's death had both hit them so it wasn't like he had told her to come over one day. He hoped she wasn't looking for sympathy because she wouldn't be getting it from him.

He let out an annoyed sigh when Sophie began to speak and rolled his eyes as he turned his back to her and looked out the window at the empty street. "I don't need people worried about me. I'm a grown man. And I'm sorry if I'm not out partying and trying to drink away the fact that Kacey is dead. Some people don't recover from things like this easily. Some people don't recover at all." He snapped, turning to look at Sophie through dark eyes. "And you're right. I didn't want to see you but I know Kacey wouldn't turn her back on you and wouldn't be happy if I did." He explained, trying to make it clear to her that this was not his choice.

He felt like a completely different person. He didn't talk to people this way and he had never been this angry in his life. He felt like he wasn't even the one living in his body. He felt like he was just floating above everything watching what was going on between him and Sophie. He had been the strongest out of the three of them considering the fact that he was the guy but it was really hard for him at that moment. "You're all I have left, Sophie." He mumbled despite himself as he looked her in the eye.

The tension in the room could be cut with a knife from the way that things were going. All Sophie could do was try to ignore the fact that Drew seemed rather angry with her. She knew that his emotions were probably all over the place considering everything. However she hadn't expected him to snap at her the way that he had. She tried to resist the urge to roll her eyes at the mention of him being a grown man. Did he really think that his age honestly mattered? No matter how old someone was, what had happened was tragic and people usually didn't handle it well. She could tell from the looks of him that he hadn't been handling it very well. Of course no one was about to blame him for it either. Instead of snapping back at him like she would have done before she kept quiet.

There was no need for the two of them to start a fight. It was the first time that they had seen each other in days. After taking a deep breath, she looked over at him," No one says that you have to be like your old self but you aren't even living at this point." She knew that she might be saying these things at the wrong time but the words were just pouring out of her. Sometimes she had a habit of not being able to keep her mouth shut. It was one of the many things that she had been trying to work on. However, it seemed that she was failing miserably and she wasn't sure what to do about it. There was no way she could take her words back or act like she hadn't said them," You say you are a grown man but you haven't gone to work or even called in, you haven't tried leaving the house even if it's to run errands or whatever."

His next words surprised her and she honestly didn't know how to react. What could she say to that? She nodded slowly since she understood where he was coming from. She pretty much felt the exact same way since Kacey was gone. There was no turning back and no changing anything that had happened," I know Drew, you are all I have left too." Her voice was barely above a whisper but she was sure that he had heard her.
