"Sophia! Sophia! Sophia!" The fans yell my name as I walk to the building.

"Sophia, can you take a picture?"

"Sophia, can I have a picture!"

"Sophia!" I stop walking with my security and head in their direction.

"Of course!" I smile at them, even though I was feeling down, this was a genuine smile, my fans make me happy.

"Thank you so much!"

"Thank you!"

"Can't wait to see you model tonight!"

"Thank you, you guys be safe out here okay?" I smile at them walking into the building.

"Soph." Amyra runs up to me and hugs me.

"I've been calling you for two hours, where have you been?" she asks me but I'm focused on the hickey on her neck.

"What happened to your neck?" I smirk and she quickly looks at her phone.

"What- Oh." she mumbles and I laugh.

"What happened there?" I smirk.

"Uh, a uh, mosquito?" she says and I burst out laughing at her lame excuse.

Liam walks up to us and I look at her as she gets nervous.

"Hey Sophia."

"Hey, mosquito." I chuckle and Myra swats my hand.

"Hey, you're supposed to swat the mosquito, not me," I tell her and Liam laughs.

"Shut up." she mumbles and I laugh.

"I'll see you guys in a while, Myra, cover that up, your mom is here." I tell her and her eyes widen.

I walk away laughing.

"Sophia, we need you in your outfit in twenty minutes, add more make-up and Claire is waiting to do your hair." The manager says, not even sparing me a glance.

"Okay." I tell her walking to my dressing room. I push the door open to see a tall figure standing in front of me. I let out a freaking squeal because I didn't expect a freaking man to be in my room.

"Sorry." Axton mumbles and I look anywhere but him.

"It's alright, what are you doing here?" I mumble.

"Soph, where have you been? I've had people looking for you!" he tells me and I roll my eyes.

"Shouldn't you be out there, with your fiance." I ask him and he sits on the couch in the room.

"Soph, what Piper said wasn't true. That man had it coming."

"What did he even say?"

"Yeah, I don't think you want to know." he says and I raise a brow.

"Alright, well can you leave so I can change." I open the door and he gets up, walking up to me and closing the door, more like slamming it.

"Sophia, you're gonna do that thing where you be distant and everything's off and I don't like it." he says and it's true.

"Fine, we're good. I won't do that distant thing again." I mumble.

"Are you sure?" he asks, raising an eyebrow.

"Yes, we're good, by the way, this wasn't exactly trying to not get into any more fights."

"Hey, I said I wasn't making any promises!"

"Yeah yeah, okay, get out, I have a show to get ready for," I tell him.

"Break a leg, not literally." he winks and I roll my eyes.

---

"Okay Sophia, you're on in ten seconds." I take a look in the mirror, proud of how good I look in this black Chanel dress.

I exit the room and stand behind the curtain, ready to walk down this runway.

I scan the crowd, seeing Amyra, Axton, Jace, Kiara, my mom, and Shyla in a few rows down from the first. Piper is here, sitting right next to Piper, her arms linked through his. That's his fiance, right? But I don't think I'll ever look at them and not feel like someone is ripping my heart out.

"Ready Soph?" Karen asks me and I nod.

I break the corner as the light hits my face.

Modeling was more than walking down a runway for people to view clothes, it was more focused on the way you walk, the level of concentration and since I started modeling at like five, I always liked it.

I keep my chin up, back straight, and walk down the runway placed between the two crowds. My eyes meet familiar blue-green ones and my heart drops, just a little bit. Okay, a lot. Piper turns his face to look away from me and he glares at her.

The crowd gasps as I strike a pose at the end of the runway. Flashes of light meet my eyes and I really wanna grab those cameras and smash them but, it'll probably be the last time I model if I do that.

I smile at the cameras and wait for my cue to walk off the runway.

"Sophia!"

"Sophia!" I see fans at the entrance and I really hope they didn't try to break in.

"Sophia!" Yup, they broke in.

But before I can fully take in the small mob of fans, I smell a very familiar cologne, one that brings back memories of only pain.

I turn to see Trey standing at the end of the runway, right next to me, with his hand extended. What the hell is he doing?

He smiles at the crowd and turns to look at me.

"What would they say if you didn't accept my hand and walk down this runway with me huh?" he whispers and I try to look as normal as possible.

"You son of a bitch! Trey made Sophia unhappy!" A fan yells and everyone turns their attention to her.

"Sophton for life!" they yell and I swear I see Axton smile.

"Come on babe, take my hand." God, he's pathetic.

I place my hand in his, and we walk off the runway. His mere touch makes me want to vomit.

"What are you doing here?" I mumble as our backs face the crowd.

"I came to see you baby doll." I'm sorry but that name is just too cringy.

"You have no reason to see me, and stop with your stupid names!" I whisper yell, as we break the corner.

I remove my hand from him but he grabs it, with a firmer hold, one that's sure to leave a bruise.

Not this bullshit again.

"Trey let my hand go." I tell him but he grips tighter.

"Trey stop it, you're hurting me." again.

"We can try again Sophia, it'll be different. I promise."

"Oh yeah? Different? Because this is all so different." I mumble.

"Trey let me go!"

"It will be different I promise." He says, gripping my hand impossibly tighter.

"You don't understand to stay the fuck away from her huh?" Axton walks up to us and Trey lets my hand go. I look at the hand marks on my skin, this is all too familiar.

Before I know it, my hand collides with Trey's face.

"The next time you put your hands on me, I'll make sure you don't have hands. I'm not the same person you dated, and you sure as hell won't take advantage of me again." I tell him walking away to find my fans.

"Sophia!"

"Sophia over here!"

"You all need to back up!" the security yells.

"Back up little girl!" he yells at one of them.

"Hey hey, take it, easy buddy." I glare at him.

"Hi girls," I smile at them and they squeal causing me to chuckle.

After a lot of pictures, a few video calls, and plenty of signing. I was back in my dressing room. I haven't seen Trey in the past twenty minutes and honestly, I don't care.

There's a knock on my door and I quickly open it to see Myra, Axton, and Jace. All furious.

"Whatever it is, I didn't do it," I mumble.
