Hidden Worlds

Heading to Sophia's Home - Victoria

Victoria had felt the tap on her shoulder and then taken to the elevator, "Mr Van Larson,?" She said surprised as he'd taken her away from their destination. Once they were inside, she listened as he spoke to her. "What do you mean by things are not what they used to be? If you're referring to the increase in murders and disappearances then that's true..." She said but, then she heard his comment about mythical things being true. If that was true then there were good and bad mythical beings out there. But, was it really true? However, she didn't like the sound of him saying how she was going to find out something she didn't like. "What's that?" She had asked. She couldn't think about what it could be. Were they going to fire her? Oh god, she hoped not. No, surely not maybe it was to do with his mythical comment? "Already in what? Protect me from what?" She asked. So many questions and yet, he didn't answer any of them. Looks like it wasn't going to be the nice dinner like she thought. What with him hopefully telling her the answers but, also she wondered if the siblings were going to confront him.

She shook her head confused as hell but, she nodded before returning to Sophia's door. She followed him inside and smiled at Dorota. "Evening Dorota and thank you," she said. Theres someone else here, it's a miracle but makes Sophia happy? she repeated. That made no sense. Miracles... Makes Sophia happy... Its not Christopher... There's only one other person... Daniel but, he's dead, she thought. Then she thought back to Xavier's comment about mythical beings. A ghost? How's that possible... she added.

Victoria smiled a little as she was hugged by Sophia. "Hey Sophia," she said. She then saw Jason step out and bedside his sister, "Evening Jason," she added. She then followed Xavier's glance and her eyes widened, "Daniel but...how is that possible?" She asked surprised.

Sophia was lucky to be honest . Lucky that she and Jason were in this together . They had a simple goal : find out the truth . And if Xavier won't spill it tonight , Jason will have to stay and investigate , possibly help Sophia . That was her only luck . Because he honestly had nothing else to stay here for . Until now it was his father and the place at the company and all . But now that he had been lied to , there was nothing to stay here for . He followed Sophia and stepped from behind her , joining her side . The shocked expression his so called dad had was quite amusing to Jason . But he was too pissed to creep a smile . Instead , he just kept that frown of his . Hi there . this was kinda for both his dad and Victoria . And honestly , he didn't agreed with Victoria being here and finding about all this . She might be friends with Sophia but she was nothing to him . Even though he found her extremely attractive . Same goes with Daniel . But he couldn't do anything about it , could he ? Jason glanced at Sophia for a moment and saw the tear she wiped away . She felt sligthly bad for her but she had to be strong . When Mr. Daniel the savior came into action , his eyes fell on his father again , the same anger and rage hinted into them . How are you ? he asked , being sarcastic of course . He heard his own phone buzz and when he took it out , he saw the message from the Insider . Son of a bitch . for some reason , Jason felt slightly jealous of Christopher for having fun with Victoria . But he shouldn't care . Though he couldn't help himself . He was familiar with the fact that Christopher was after Sophia's skirt . But being after his sister's skirt and flirting with her friend ? Too much . Had fun with Christopher ? Jason asked Victoria as he looked at her , his features serious .

Sophia's Home - Xavier

Xavier gave a small smirk to Daniel and shook his head. Well look like you were the lucky one. Welcome back to the land of the living. He was surprised and glad Daniel was back. This was going to be the ride of his life. He turned his attention to the study door opening. It was Sophia and right behind her was Jason. What were they doing together? He disliked Sophia. He looked them both over and hugged Victoria. Then he looked at her in confusion as to what she said. Family reunion? What was she talking about....? He looked back at Jason and then Sophia again. She was looking through her phone and she looked like she was crying. He turned his head to Jason. I am confused...but ready for dinner. He noticed Jason and Daniel both looked at there phones. Must be that Insider again. The deaths were harder on Sophia then he thought. Finally he put two and two together. Sophia and Jason had to have found out. She gave him that disappointing look she had when he had lied to her about her powers. He took off his coat and scarf tossing them on the chair close to him and rubbed his forehead. You guys know dont you? Oh no no no. How did you guys find out? I mean it not like its a bad thing but it wasn;t time yet. He sounded overwhelmed. He passed a little in place and rubbed his face, cursing at himself. He might have no choice but to tell them what is going on. There has to be a way to protect them and for them to know know everything that is going on around them. He walked closer to Sophia and looked her in the eye. You know that I would never do anything to hurt you. You know that right? You have always trusted me.

Xavier felt as if he was cornered with a sword on his back. Sophia still had that look. He turned to Jason and shook his head. What do you want me to say huh? I was in love and happy. I didn't want to make it even worse by letting anyone know about Jason. Its complicated and I don't want you two to know about it. Its to, dangerous. And Jason if your anything like me and you want to just run off don't. Because now that you know about Sophia. You both have things to talk about and your powers together will help you both through this battle. He stepped back and wiped his forehead again. I need a drink. He wanted to leave to his apartment and let one of them come with him if they still even wanted to talk to him. I will go to my apartment and be in the bar. If you need me you both know where to find me. I don't think you both want me here for a while. He said in a serious voice and look. Heck he didn';t even want to stand himself right now.

Sophia's Home -Sophia

Sophia sighed and looked at Nate. She nodded. She had to be okay. Right? Look at their lives. Nate was supposed to be dead and now he is back, she was immensely grateful don't get her wrong, but does that mean all the other will come back, too? She looked up at the ceiling to try and clear her eyes. She was brought back by her father asking question. Sophia scuffed and her mouth opened in an o shape. Really? It wasn't TIME YET? She shook her head and crossed her arms, rolling her eyes at him. "Really dad? Well how inconvenient for you. So sorry, we ruined your secret." She was furious. Her father stepped closer to her and she put her arm out and she stepped back and close to Nate. For some reason she didn't want to be anywhere near him right now. "No. No. No! I don't trust you anymore not since mom died. You have been acting different and distant every since. Not to mention you NEVER told me I had a brother. Who worked right next to me! We ended up disliking each other! Who in there right mind does that?"

Tear were falling, but of pain and anger. They lights started to flicked, which happened a lot when Sophia or her grandmother were anger. She tried to calm down. She was talking in a high voice trying to calm down more. "You already hurt me. By lying, to both of us. I always told you the truth. I don't know who you are anymore and why would you even do this?" She stepped back again and leaned against the wall table. She felt light headed. She put her hands up to her head and breathed in. How could her father stand her and tell her all of those things? What did she want him to say? The truth damn it!

Sophia's Home - Victoria 

Victoria watched Jason as he took out his phone and read something, she heard what he said and she wondered what had made him say that. She listened as Xavier spoke to Daniel and her attention was then snapped back to Jason as she heard his question. The insider. That was what he had been reading. She saw his features on his face were rather serious and she wondered why. "Yes, I had a nice time. Wouldn't exactly call it fun," she replied. Why was he so serious about it? Was he jealous? No, he couldn't be surely. After all, why would he be? He never got jealous over any girl. Yet as she caught his gaze, she saw the slight glint of jealousy in his eyes. "Why do you ask?" She asked. They were just friends.

She looked from Jason to Xavier and listened to everything that was said. And, then Sophia reacted. God, she felt so bloody awkward and the tension in the room was getting higher each time. Why was she even here? This was none of her business. She was the odd one out. Father, siblings and deceased fiancé of Sophia no longer deceased sorta speak. "Maybe I should leave..." She whispered to herself. She then noticed the lights flicker and looked to Sophia. They all had powers. Did Eliana? She was their cousin. She walked over to Sophia and slowly hugged her in hopes of comforting/calming her a little. She really hoped she didn't mind. She was just so clueless in what to say but, she hoped the hug would help even just a little. She knew one of the guys or mostly Daniel would've hugged her but, they both had purpose of being here. She just wished she could be more help.

Sophia's Home - Nate & Jason

Daniel looked at the ground for a second and then back up at the people in the room . To be honest , this was none of his business . Sophia , her father and Jason should have taken this in another place . And in private . They kinda ruined the fun of the dinner . All in all , Daniel shouldn't be here . Nor Victoria . This was family business . So with no further addo , after she hugged Sophia , Daniel grabbed Victoria's arms gently and pulled her towards the door . We'll be going now . he nodded at Xavier and looked one last time at Sophia , as if knowing she would comment and say that they shouldn't go . And before you say something Sophia , this is personal . It's between you , your father and Jason . You should keep it like that . he smiled slightly . You know i'm right . Give me a shout when you're done . and with that , he lead Victoria out of the room and out of Sophia's apartment , into the hallway . Daniel let go of her and shoved his hands into his pockets . Please tell me you live here so we can go to your room . I can't take the luxury to roam around like I want to . I'm still considered dead . Daniel grinned and waited for Victoria's answer .

Xavier had no idea how much Jason was trying to keep himself in control and not punch his own father . Because he deserved a lot of punches and kicks if you ask him . How could he hide from him that he had a sister ? He was making it sound like Jason was a mistake and to fix that mistake he had to be kept hidden . He made a hell of a job keeping him hidden . Literally . Jason kept it quiet while his father talked and while Sophia talked to , almost not realizing Daniel and Victoria left the room . It was probably for the best . He scoffed rather in slow motion and shaked his head , looking away from his father . I trusted you . My grand-father trusted you . he hissed in a calm voice though . And you lied about my origins . You lied about everything . Jason snapped a look at Xavier and walked closer to him . You tell me not to be like you and walk away . I'm asking you the same thing ... father ! he exclaimed the last word as if it was something really hard to say and believe . Face us . Don't walk away . Tell us the whole truth . Jason gestured with his hands and frowned . Who are we ? he asked this time more calmly and made some big eyes for a moment before staring into his father's eyes .

Sophia's Home - Victoria

Victoria was about to say she was going to take her leave as she was releasing her friend, Sophia but, Daniel seemed to have had the same thoughts as she felt him grab her arm and was being pulled towards the door. She heard what he said and for some reason, she wasn't surprised at how they had thought alike. After all, they were the odd duo and it was family stuff but, she was a little surprised that Daniel hadn't stayed to be there for support for Sophia. "Daniel's right Sophia, this is between you three and you three alone," she said in agreement. "Call me after if you'd like Sophia," she added at the same time as Daniel said to shout him after. She looked to Xavier and she gave him a slight smile since she didn't know what else to do since he was in the bad books for the sibling duo. She then looked to Jason before being led out and into the hallway. When the door closed behind them, she felt Daniel release her arm and listened to him. She couldn't help but smile at what he said. "Yeah, I'm still trying to get to grips with that and how it could be possible," she said. "And, yes I do live here. Down on the fifth floor," she added as she walked towards the elevator. She then paused and turned back to him, "Would you like me to make sure the coast is clear?" She asked lightly.

Sophia's Home - Xavier

Xavier was sort of out of it. All he could think about was how Charlette is costing him his one family to turn on him. He was at th boiling point. He needed to explain and it was Time. He knew after all these years his mother tought him right. Anna Sophia was more then right too. He had to explain it to them and hopfully they would understand. He turned around and started explaining everything. Leaving out a few details just so they wouldn't be in so much danger. You want to know why I never told you you had a sister? Why I made him come work for me after all these years and never tell you about your bother? He looked back and forth between then. Because you all have powers and I know you all know that already but these are not just any powers. Like Sophia bringing a dead plant back to life or Jason spearing up time a lite, this is dangerous and leathal power. When the 7 of you are together in a hexagon and Sophia is in the middle, you become the most powerful beings in the world. But the only way to activate it is if Sophia is in the middle and Jason is directly in front of her and Daniel behind her. He sighed and paced back and forth before continuing. Sophia you know Doctor Ulrich? Well she isn't not a good person. In fact she used to be the key to the Hexigon circle once and they banned her away. So I wouldn't be surprised if she wanted that position back. She will do anything for that kind of power. anything. The reason I didn't want anyone to know about Jason was because if they found out the circle wasnt compleate then then they didn't want anyone from the circle until it was. And now you all are in danger. Xavier sat down on th table in a serendering way and he placed his hands one his forehead. He loved his kids with a ll his heart but he wanted them safe more then anything.

Sohpia's Home - Sophia

Sophia watched and listened to his father. What he was saying sounded crazy and from a book. She ran through everything he said one more time. So many questions and was that everything or was there more? "Who are the seven? And why would doctor Ulrich want to be a part of the circle? Dad you better explain everything because none of it makes sense." Sophia looked at Jason and then to her father. Yes, she knew she had powers so did her mother and grandmother. All the grandparents are Elder, but that would mean..."That means we have traders in Towerr High. The muderes are all Tower High people. Grandpa, mom, Daniel, and now two more. Who is doing it? Dad I swear it looks like you know why more then your telling us so spill it. Now! No more lies!" Sophia didn't want to know her dad might be the crucked cop in the family but she needed to know. The are really in dangour and someone is out there on a Witch Hunt and its not a nice one.

Sophia's Home - Nate & Jason

Daniel smiled slightly when Victoria said she was still trying to get the grips of how is it possible for him to be alive . In all honesty , he didn't know himself . But that didn't mean he was going to let out the little he knew . All they had to know was that he was alive and lucky to still be standing . And also in the mood to take revenge on who killed him . Even if it meant to become allies with someone he doesn't want . He's doing it first for himself , his mother and fater and for Sophia . He wanted to know she's safe . And that this person that keeps killing peope won't reach her . Nor her family . Hell he would even protect Jason if it was needed . Like I said , i just got lucky . he shrugged and shaked his head when she asked him if she wanted the coast to be clear . No . No need for that . he pulled his hood over his head and walked into the elevator . Let's just hurry . he winked and waited for her .

Jason placed his hands on his hips and watched his father as he spoke . All he was saying made no sense . The Seven ? Powers ? The hell was this man talking about . And honestly , he could care less right now . All Jason wanted was to have a normal life . Yes he could freeze time and that was about it . It was all he knew about himself . Yes he took a liking in it but he didn't wanted this . He didn't wanted to be part of a great circle or shit . He just wanted a normal and quiet life . He wanted to have fun and worry about things later . He kep quiet while Sophia spoke and he was out of it . Seriously now . Yes he found about the murders too but he could never imagine it was because power and all . I told you that i don't want any of it . I don't want to take over the business you have nor your spot in the Towers . I have no interest in it . Precisely because I could be standing here right now and when I get out of this hotel , be dead . Jason finally spoke and kept that same upset expression . I didn't come here when you asked me to come for power or anything for that matter . I came here because I wanted to spend my time with my father . I wanted to believe my own father is a honest person . Though I see it's not like that anymore . You have no idea how much you disappointed me . Me and her . he pointed at Sophia and crossed his arms . Don't even think about counting on me on this circle crap . Because i'm not going to be part of any of that .

Sophia's Home - Victoria

Victoria heard his comment about being lucky and she nodded, "Indeed you are, Daniel," she said. She saw him pull his hood up and watched as he entered the elevator, she smiled and shook her head slightly as he winked at her. She was glad he hadn't changed that much. She glanced back to Sophia's door and hoped things would be okay though, she knew things from now on we're going to be rather different but very different for the Van Larson's especially. She was still confused thanks to Xavier and he never answered her questions which she knew were going to bug her. Protect me from what? He never told me, she thought and then she entered the elevator. As she looked at Daniel, she wondered if Xavier had meant protect her from whoever killed him. She pressed for the fifth floor and the doors closed. They eventually arrived at the fifth floor, Fifth Floor, doors opening and after that had been announced, the doors opened. Victoria walked out and made her way down the corridor to her door.

Fifth Floor, 580 V

Victoria took out her key and unlocked the door, stepping inside and holding it open for Daniel. "Come on in, Daniel," she said. Once he was inside, she let the door closed. "Welcome to my place. Can I get you a drink or anything?" She asked out of instinct. And then she brought her hand to her lips, "Im so sorry. Erm, are you able to...drink and eat?" She asked, blushing a little as she felt a little stupid asking that.

Sophia's Home - Xavier

Xavier knew it be like this. His family disappointed and his kids not understand. He didn't want to explain any further it wouldn't change how the felt about him. No matter what I tell you won't change your mind about me or what I have been trying to do. Yes Sophia you are right we have a trader in the Towers and I don't know who it is exactly but my signs point to Ulrich. Now, Jason you aren't here to take over anything if you don't want to. Yes down the line you might take my spot but that is not until your ready. The company is not mine for you to take anything. Infact Anna Sophia will be back shortly to be running it again. That is both of you guys legacy.

He looked up at them and rubbed his hands through his hair. He need them to know everything or this would end badly and in chaos. Look.... fine be disappointed in be.... Be pist at me and hate me all you want ... But I am doing this for both of you. Bringing you back because of the power wasnt the only reason Jason are you crazy? I love spending time with my kids and I wanted you both to know when it was time. If anyone knows about Jason they will want that circle formed for evil no the greater good of man kind. I don't want you both to hate me for what I have done to protect you. But if it comes to that.... so be it. Doesn't mean I will stop protecting you even if that killer comes after me. I'd rather die then see my daughter and my son in dangour. And for the record you both were in trouble since the day you were born. Because you were born this way. With powers, with enemies, with the circle. No matter what you do you can't run from it believe me I tried. Many years. Xavier wiped his eye from some tears that were spilled. His body gave the nosion of defeat. His arms fell to the side and he sighed. What more could he tell them?

Your grandmother has a book in the study. It's like a book of shadows crossed with a history book. It has everything you need to know. Who the elders are, what power the posses, their history, your parents history and then you . It tell you everything up to date since about a month ago or a few weeks. That book will record everything that happened to anyone in Tower High. No matter who you are unless you have cloked yourself from it. If you find it then there you go. I can't explain everything. He was devestated and hurt. He felt as I he had gotten run over by a 18wheeler and got stabbed in the hurt several times. He didn't know what else to do. He waited to see what they would say and after that he would dismiss himself and go to his room.

Sophia's Home - Sophia

Sophia couldn't believe her father. All this time she thought she might just be those witches on T.V. or maybe be special. But this? This was crazy. These things only happen in books or movies. She rubbed her forehead with her hand and paced a little bit. Talk about acting like your parents. She tried digesting it all. "So you expect me to just forgive and be okay with you not telling me about my brother who is standing right next to me? To say, "yes dad, I want to be a part of this circle and fight evil forces that work with in our own Magic families? I have been alone my whole life with out any siblings and wishing I had what Lilian and Nadia had. I had my mother and I don't know about you Jason sorry..." She looked at him and sighed. "but what if he didn't have parents? He could have been with us his whole life. Maybe, yeah we don't want to be a part of this madness of who or whatever we are but, damn dad." She stopped pacing and threw her hands up in the air. How could she forgive him for all of this? It was crazy. She looked at the floor. At her shoes and then back at him slowly.

It was mainly her grandmother, her mother and her when there grandfather died. Xavier was always away on business trips. In a way she understood. Maybe he was with Jason, which was a good thing but a bad thing because he never told her about him. And then it was only her grandmother and Dorota all the time alone with Sophia when her mother died. Then she was alone most of the time because of Nate's death. Look at her know. She is doing great, a side of what just happened today. "For the record, I would have loved to have a brother. No matter if Jason cares to know or not. But, I want to make it clear that you were gone half of my life in meetings and work. I know more about grams, mom, and Dorota then I ever knew about you. And now come to find out I have a brother, my ex-fiance or fiance is alive and now I have a "destiny" I can't run from? As you can see I survived without you. " She knew it would hurt but, she wanted him to know that.

Sophia looked at him and shook her head. "I will look for that book when I am ready. But right now I don't want to be any where near you. I need time and...just to process everything. I'm sorry. And Jason you are more then welcome to do as you want here in my place and at Elite fashion. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to be alone for a few minutes." Sophia had a lump in her throat. She wanted more then anything for this to be a nightmare or just not real. For Jason to have been her bother all along and for family all to just be normal. She wished it beyond her wildest dreams. Just normal for once. She looked at Jason and then to her father. How could he? Is all she thought. She walked away and passed Dorota and shook her head. She knew Dorota heard it all and good, she means more to her then her father does at this point. But she wanted to be away from her father, not really alone. Just not anywhere near him. She walked into the kitchen where she could still hear what was going on but be away from Him for now.

Victoria's Apartment - Nate

Daniel walked with Victoria and as soon as he reached her apartment , he took off his hood and stepped in , looking around . Nice . Things improved since he'd been gone . Nice . he said as he pointed around with his index finger . It was actually really nice . He wished he could afford the lux to live in this kind of things . He had his own underground hideout though . For now . He was going to come out to light soon . He just needed some time to figure how he'll do this . And who he will expose to danger . When she asked if he wanted something to drink but then made that silly remark , he made a face and looked away , as in telling her that he was seeing how things were . Well I can touch you . he chuckled . And I am breathing . And as far as i'm concerned , i'm not a ghost that can't touch things and has little holes in his stomach so the water could slip through . Daniel chuckled again and looked at Victoria . So I would love a drink . he nodded his head and looked around again .

Sophia's Home - Jason

his was stupid . Jason felt stupid . Everything his dad was saying . It just sounded really lame and stupid right now . And he could use his best friend . Where was Eliana when you needed her dammit ? Right , having fun with Will . At this moment , it was the only thing that made him happy . That two of his best friends were actually having fun and were away from all this problems . Well I might take you up on that dad and run away myself . he said after he told them that there was no way to run from it . If he wanted , he could run away from it . He might not be able to get rid of his powers but he sure as hell could run away from this town . When Sophia brought up the word mother , Jason looked away from his father . Come to think about it , he never got to really meet his mom . She did , he didn't . Jason's expression was sad at this moment . He might be all snarky and cold sometimes , but when it came to family , he was like a baby that needed his parents next to him . And somehow , he couldn't take his eyes off of his father . But he didn't say anything either . He didn't know what to say exactly . He wished he could follow Sophia and leave too . But his body wasn't responding to what his brain was asking .

Victoria's Apartment - Victoria

Victoria heard him say her apartment was nice and she smiled, "Thanks Daniel," she said as she glanced around. She'd added her own little bits to the place to make it feel more like home then a hotel room. Some days she still felt like it was a dream living in a hotel but then going to work at Elite Fashions reminded her it wasn't. That had been a big adjustment for her and now she was going to have to adjust that those she considered family, the Van Larsons had powers and god knows who else. Forget about that for tonight, she thought to herself but, she did have one question she would ask Daniel. Did he have powers before he died?

Victoria snapped out of it and chuckled along with him after hearing his reply. "You make a very good case," she said with another chuckle. She made her way into the kitchen. "Would you like water or something else? Coffee, tea, hot chocolate, orange juice?" She asked. She then realised her waitress side was showing again, old habits die hard. Once he'd replied, she got him his drink and grabbed herself a glass of water. "Here you go," she added. "So, is there anything you'd like to talk about?" She asked as she sat down.

Sophia's Home - Xavier

Xavier couldn't control what Jason did of what Sophia had been through. It hurt him so much to hear his little girl had gone through hell while he had kept them apart and these were all the consequences. He was going to take full responsibility for it all. Jason went through a worse time with out really knowing his mother and his own father lying to him and not being honest. How could he had gotten to this point? He doesn't even know that question but he does know is that he did all this to protect his family. Nothing was going to stop him from doing it. Jason do as you want I am not goin to force you to do anthig you don't want to do. She might not be someone you trust or know but your sister will need you more then you think. And you know for a fact that some where inside so do you. I will leave you two alone but I won't be far if any of you two desire to ever talk to me again. I am truly sorry my son. None of this was meant to hurt you. I was trying to protect you. he was ready to iust walk out of there and leave far away but no matter how much they didn't like him right now he was going to stay put in manhattan till his kids were safe.

Daniel looked down at the ground and smiled when she said that he was making a very good case . To be true here , he did made a pretty damn good case . I mean , not many people come back from the death and are able to walk talk and be seen . Daniel got lucky for getting this second chance to make things right . He looked up at Victoria . Indeed I am . he winked and asked for water . Once he got it , he grabbed it and took a sip , nodding his head . Thank you . Daniel said truthfull and when she asked if there was something in particular he wanted to talk about , he shrugged . Honestly , he didn't know if he wanted to know what was going on arond here while he was away so to speak . But then again , it wouldn't hurt . Not really . I'm not nosy . But I would love to know how your relationship with Sophia is going . at this moment , Sophia was his only subject . And his main target to protect .

Sophia's Home -Jason

Jason looked at the ground when his dad spoke once more . There was no thing that could move Jason right now . Nor convince him that lying to him was the best . No way . Lying isn't always the best choice . You'd rather say the truth and it'll be half forgiven then lie and regain the trust of the person really hard . Because Jason wasn't going to trust his father anytime soon . Jason frowned even more when he called him my son . He wanted to say that he wasn't his son anymore and that he couldn't recognize the man in front of him but he placed too much salt of the wound . Mostly Sophia . He was done with talking . Don't worry . I'll be there when Sophia needs . but that was it . He didn't Xavier to believe that he was going to forget all this and pretend it didn't happened . He made a few steps back and dropped down on the couch , resting his elbows on his knees , look was directed towards the floor .

Victoria smiled and nodded, "Your welcome, Daniel," she said as she had a sip of her own water. She heard him say he wasn't nosy and she felt a little confused. She knew he wasn't and neither was she. "I know your not nosy, Daniel. I just meant... If there's anything you'd like to talk about, I'm here to listen or if you just want to chat about general stuff..." She said not knowing if that made any sense. "I'm not nosy either," she added just incase what she said made one think she was. However, she was surprised to hear what he said, that he would love to know how her relationship with Sophia was going. Obviously, she had expected him to bring up Sophia but, for some reason him asking about her relationship with her had taken her by surprise. "Alright, well, Erm," she began saying. God, what is wrong with me? Is this because I'm so confused or is tiredness catching up with me? she wondered. "It's going great, I believe," she replied though it did make her wonder what Sophia would say though she'd probably come out with a much more better reply. "I mean I owe her and Eliana big time because without them, I wouldn't be here right now," she added. "Plus, I think of her as a sister," she said quietly as she looked at her glass as she thought about how much the Van Larsons meant to her.

Xavier couldn't say anything further. He looked towards the kitchen but nothing. Sophia didn't come back out then he looked back at Jason. He had hurt the people he loved the most. All because of of the situation. Well not anymore. Xavier was determine to make things right and he wanted to do as soon as possible but for now he wanted to give them time alone. Xavier nodded at Jason and saw him sit. For now he would just leave and let them talk or whatever they wanted to do. Heturned towards the elevator and pushed the button. It dinged and he went it pushing the button to go up to his room. The doors closed and he was gone.

Arriving to his room he grabbed his phone and TEXT Serena. In a way he knew she didn't like Ulrich and maybe with her helping hand he could get something done right. Walking to the bat he poured a drink and drank it down. He poured another one and sat at the bar waiting for her to respond.

Sophia listened to them speak. She leaned on the counter and Dorota placed a comforting hand on her shoulder. After she head the elevator ring, she wanted a few more seconds and sighed.Walking towards The dinning area she saw Jason sitting on the couch in the living room. She debated weather she should go and talk or if maybe he was tired of her already. She sighed again and went over to where he was. She sat on the couch in front if him. She didn't know what to say really. But she didn't know we owed him one. "Thank you. I will totally understand if you do leave thought. I wish I could escape too. Your more then welcome to stay tonight. I know Eliana will be home soon." Sophia sat there after she told him that. She knew he maybe wouldn't stay but at least he knows that her home is his home no matter what. She stared at the pictures on the wall and then the vase on the table. How did things get so screw up? She closed her eyes for a few seconds and sensed Nate. She searched for him and got him in Victoria's home. Good. She didn't want to bug him now. Sophia could sense that he was alright there for now and he didn't have to deal with this drama of a tv show.
