It’s a long road, we must cling to one another. : sophia & hazel
Time was basically a blur. The tour had begun weeks ago, and Sophia had barely done anything in that time. She'd spoken to Paxton maybe twice since they'd been on tour, and she'd begun to find herself wandering the arenas during the show, aimlessly looking for something to keep her busy. Sophia thrived off of working, and having specific jobs and responsibilities to complete. But, as she found herself settling unhappily into her new, wandering habits, Sadie had slipped into her coma.
Sophie had always wondered how she would do in an extreme crisis. Usually, she'd assume that she'd stay calm and collected, doing anything in her power to help Paxton through, impressing her superiors, which would help her quickly move up the ladder of power. Sadie's hospitalization and everyone's immediate panic showed Sophia that she was not nearly as good under pressure as she had hoped. As more and more show dates were cancelled, she felt any hint of a schedule she had managed to build for herself quickly fall apart. The world had come to a stand still, and she knew that there was nothing she could do.
After several days of worrying, flipping back and forth on her decisions whether or not to call Paxton, and nervous eating, Sophia knew she had to leave. Distracting herself from the immediate problem at hand was going to be the only way to get through. She was meeting Hazel at her place. Though they were the same age, Sophia couldn't help but admire Hazel. She had her life together in a way that Sophie found herself jealous of. Hazel had also managed to maintain a healthy marriage? Sophia couldn't even handle a boyfriend for more than a few months. Regardless, she knew that Hazel was a positive influence for her, and helping her with work would be the best way to cope. She stood quickly, stretching lightly, grabbed her iPhone, left the building, and started running. Sprinting as fast as she could through the brisk air was the most alive she had felt in days. She ran back inside and up the stairs, until she reached Hazel's floor. She collapsed in the elevator lobby for a few minutes, catching her breath.
It was easy to take the life she'd been given for granted. As the blood pumped quickly through her veins, Sophia mumbled, "C'mon, Phi. For Sadie," under her breath, as stood back up. It was a short walk down the hall, but she was still breathing heavily as she knocked twice on Hazel's door. "Just me," she called quietly.
