[Carina's POV]
Maya and I had just finished dinner at the restaurant and gotten back to the hotel as I saw my phone lighting up.
I checked it and instantly starting to worry.

Are you busy -Sofia.

No I'm not, is something wrong? Do you want me to call you? -Carina.

Please -Sofia.

I quickly dialed her number.

*phone call*

"Hey bambina, what's wrong?" I asked.

"W-won't stop" she cried out quietly.

"What won't stop?" I asked.

She whimpered.

"Talk to me Sofia, what's going on?" I asked again.

"Papa, t-the voices everywhere" she whispered.

"Listen to me okay?, papa is not there he isn't there okay? What are the voices saying?" I asked as I wanted to know what was going on in her mind.

"P-papa" she said.

"Flashbacks?" I asked carefully.

She whimpered again.

I could hear her breathing becoming faster and faster.

"Maya and I are on our way back to you okay? We will be there in a second. Have you told Andy?" I asked.

"N-no" she said.

"Alright okay, I want you to stay on the phone with me until I get there" I said, I wanted to know that she wasn't going to pass out or make herself sick.

"Mm" she said quietly.

"Can you try take a deep deep breath for me?" I asked.

I could still hear her short fast breaths.

"You can do it Bambina" I said.

She took a breath that was at least a little bit longer than the other.

"Good job, can you put your hand over your chest where your heart is?" I asked.

"Sí" she said.

"Good, now I want you to keep it there until I get to you okay? Just feel your heartbeat" I said calmly.

As I got to Andy's apartment she was outside the guest room where Sofia was staying.

"I should go in alone" I said and closed the door after me.

"I'm here, I'm here now Sofia" I said and pulled her on to my lap.

"N-not nice" she said.

"The flashbacks?" I asked.

"I-I-I want mama back" she whimpered.

"I know you do and that's okay, I miss her too" I said

"W-wasn't aloud" she said quietly.

"Hmm?" I said.

"Not allowed to t-t-talk about mama" she said.

"That's what papa said okay? Your allowed to talk about our mother as much as you want to here, your free okay? There's no one holding you back anymore" I said.

"Didn't feel safe here" she said.

"I know, but your safe now" I said.

"Everywhere" she whimpered.

"Shhh, there not real. It's nothing here but you and I" I said.

"Say after me, there not real" I said.
