12:00pm (I like the outfit but the forces kinda ruin it)

"Sofia, you gotta let me make you an account" she begs "I said I hate social media and the comments that come with it" I tell her for the 100th time "fine, fine" she raises her hands and goes to the balcony and I follow her. 

"your 'im trying to be a good sister' act isn't going to work on me-" 

"cmon you know I'm trying to be a good sister to make up for what I've done in the past" she reasons "I know but I just don't wanna be judged online" I deadpan "you wont" she continues her reasons and i give in "go ahead" 

"smile!"

"Sofia i said smile"

"there happy?" 

"very"

I giggle and so does Bianca "the sister relationship I've always wanted" she smiles and pulls me into a hug. "Let's go out to town, I'll pay this time" Bianca agrees and we start meeting the locals and buying some of the things they were selling like fruit, we had a fair amount of cash to spend so we also got some street food.

"okay so now we're lost" I say disappointed in myself "but it's so fun here, everyone's so nice" she exclaims "yeah until we get robbed" I whisper yell so only she heard, we had one bag each in our hands, one filled with fruit and the other with pastries and bread. "lets retrace our steps, you know and look for the food stands we were at" i turn on my heels causing me to run into someone "oh- sorry" I apologize after stabilizing myself "you're good" I look up to see a man who was around his early 20's and familiar pair of grey and ocean eyes; he looked like he'd seen a ghost.

"Sofia.." he whispers but I heard him over the loud chatter filling the streets "Ares?" I lightly chuckle "where have you been?" he slightly smiles, I could feel him examining my facial features "I had to go back to America, papa lost custody of me" I purse my lips.

Just as he was going to reply; a woman with raven black hair in thick curls came rushing over "babe can we go home" she whinged, babe? i felt my heart faint, falling into my stomach "who's this?" she flicks her hair over her shoulders.

 "I'm Sofia, I accidentally ran into your?.." "fiance" all I could think of was wow, his face held nothing but guilt. I didn't know what I expected, it had been four years "well I'm Valentina and this is Luca" she bitterly smiles "Hi.. Luca?" I was confused why he didn't let his future wife call him Ares... 

i saw a look of hurt replace his guilty one "i'd love to get to know you more but these heels have my feet wailing" she chuckles and I smile "here, this is my direct number" she signals to my hand and writes her number on it "bye" I wave and walk over to Bianca slowly breaking. "im getting a cab" I tell her as my lip trembles.

Ares's POV

Mama and papa set me up with Valentina a year after Sofia had left, they thought that she'd have some affect on me but she was nothing like Sofia. Mama said I had to propse 10 weeks ago because Vaentia was being patient with me and she would lose it soon, which was what I wanted. And now where I am, shopping with her in town when I could've sent someone to get it. "oo these are cute"she buys another pair of hair clips from the same stand we were at 5 minutes ago. "does this bow look cute on me?" she holds it to her head "perfect" I say without a tint of emotion. "I don't like it though" she puts it back and goes through others, I roll my eyes and scan around for anything interesting.

"okay so now we're lost" I hear a angelic voice say disappointedly "but it's so fun here, everyone's so nice" the girl beside her exclaims she then mumbled something I couldn't hear, I stood behind her hoping she'd turn around and she did "lets retrace our steps, you know and look for the food stands we were at" she turns and takes a step causing her to run into me "shit, sorry" she apologizes after stabilizing herself "you're good" I look down at her only to see the girl i've been dreading to see the past four years.

"Sofia.." I whispered "Ares?" she shows her light smile that could light up the darkness of any city in Italy at night "where have you been?" I could feel myself sub-consciously examining her facial features "I had to go back to America, papa lost custody of me" her pierced her rose pink lips together "you're brother told me about the bracelet" I proudly show her the black bracelet on my wrist and she shows me hers "I thought you would've thrown it away"

 i was going to reply; Valentina came rushing over "babe can we go home" she whinged, i felt myself clench my jaw, I really regretted the decision I made 10 weeks ago "who's this?" she flicks her hair over her shoulders "I'm Sofia, I accidentally ran into your.." she takes a pause for Valentina to finish her sentence "fiance" I could see the face of hurt replace her joyful one "well I'm Valentina and this is Ares" she bitterly smiles, she was intimidated by Sofia and I showed "Hi Ares" I was dumbfounded when she said hi as if she didn't know me "i'd love to get to know you more but these heels have my feet wailing" she chuckles and Sofia forces a smile "here, this is my direct number" she signals to Sofia's hand and writes her number on it "bye" I wanted to stop her but I couldn't, I was a complete stranger to her now.
