This is not happening.
How can I answer such a question?
Difficult things
I felt dizzy
I felt my heart enter the world of misery
"Apollo, nothing is happening"
yes, something is happening
"Sofia, you can't fool me"
I really can't
"Apollo...I don't have the best relationship with my father"
''What do you mean''
"You don't need to learn anything else, that's enough"
"Now I'm sorry but I want to sleep" he looks at me sadly
Sorry Apollo...
I can't tell you anything...
I want to protect you...
And to protect myself too...
...........
I woke up in a room. I'm in an old house...

"I will find you wherever you are" shouts my childhood friend Hermes. He laughs. He finds me. I am 10 years old. Hermes left with his father in Russia. I always remember his father cold, soulless, heartless, rude and he always wanted the best for his youngest son. Unlike Jaxon, he didn't give his oldest son at all. I never understood him as a character. He was always very distant from everyone.. Except for me, he always looked after me and looked at me.He was my first boyfriend. That's where we ran I fell and hit my head on a stone.
"Watch out," Jaxon called.
.......
Since then I don't remember any other memories with these children.
......
"Please stay" I shout to him
................................
morning
Father is coming today
the worst nightmare
We got into Apollo's car and arrived at the university, the father and the principal were waiting for us at the entrance
I felt dizzy
I felt like I have no one but I found the courage to go out
"My daughter" he says and smiles
"father" I say
I felt uncomfortable. Apollo held my hand. Why? I felt scared. Apollo looked confused, as if something confused him.
" love we have to go to class"
"go" says the father and looks curiously at Apollo.
all of a sudden he started to quicken his pace and disappeared
a hand distracted me.
"Brad? You scared me?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to"
"Well, let's go to class," he say, smiling
"Yes"
*TIME SKIP*
''Sofia, do you want me to take you back to the hotel?''
"No, I will go with Apollo"
"I think I saw him leave before, in fact he spoke very badly to me and said that if I come within 2 meters of you again he will kill me"
Damn you Apollo what the hell?
What's wrong with you?
"Okay but it's for once"
We got in the car and everything was uncomfortable. I don't know him that well.The car remained silent during the ride.
As soon as we arrived, I thanked him and went upstairs.
I knock on the door of the room
Nothing, no one opens
I open with the key and hear something break. I freeze.
"Is anyone here?" I say scared. Suddenly a shirtless man appears with all his veins highlighted due to anger. He clenches his jaw.
"well well well Mrs. Perez, welcome" says Apollo who is obviously angry rn
"Apollo, what happened?"
"Don't Apollo me.Let me think.. You didn't come to class. You didn't come to where we had a meeting to go back together. And I suddenly see you in Brad's car. What the hell?"
"I didn't came to class ?You didn't.You also left without me, didn't you?"
"That bastard lied to you,fucking hell" he kicks the wall
"Apollo we need to clear some things up, I'm not an object so I don't belong to you" he laughs sarcastically
"And don't you dare talk to Brad again about me"i shout
''What did I do;l?''he says smirking
''Don't let him come within 2 meters of me? Are you going to kill him? Are you okay? I think you need a doctor!!''
"Me?Need ,a doctor?"he says smiling hatefully.
"God, I wish I hadn't come on this trip with you"guess i better wash my mouth out with soap.I let this sentence out of my mouth without thinking.
"Oh yeah?Are you sure huh?" he replies.He was sweaty and let his head fall behind.
"You won't do what you want with me, you don't know what I've been through so you can't judge me"
"believe me I know" he whispers.
"and stop whispering, I hear what you're saying, it doesn't make any sense"
"I wish I hadn't met you then, you've made my life a mess" he says and I'm losing my mind
"Okay, then I'll leave. If that's what you want, we'll talk tomorrow, someone has to continue the trip. I'll go back to Spain."
A tear falls. He looks me in the eyes, confused.I looked back.Thousand words behind those stares.
I run to the door and slam it behind me.
I went to Alyssa and told her what happened. I started to cry. He was one of the two people who treated me well. Why? Why Apollo?
.................................
in the afternoon we went to the university. He was there too. He looked at me sadly. He looks sad. I shouldn't have left. He comes towards me, I avoid him and run.
A hand pulls me into an old classroom.
"My princess" my father
''What do you want?''
"Don't talk to your father like that"he says laughing
"Tell me, who is the one who was next to you in the morning"he screams at me .
''no one,we're just working together for school"i said lowering my voice.
''you lied to me?''
"No I didn't really know"
"You're with an asshole in London, and I'm not aware?"he is ready to hit me.
"but father-"
"When I talk you won't talk, do you understand?" I don't answer
"Did you understand?" I don't answer again
"Who knows what he can do. He can get you pregnant. He can hurt you. You trust a stranger."
''He won't do anything, unlike you who hurt me''
"Oh yeah?" he says and prepares to hit me.
I hold my breath and count to ten
The moment is coming
On the belly, on the face, on the legs. I have remained motionless.
I'm on the floor. He leaves. I can't speak. The hall was being renovated so no one came in there. I don't know how long I was there either. Motionless, frozen, I couldn't feel my body. Suddenly I find strength and get up. I'm dizzy. It's evening I walk with great difficulty. It took me 2 hours to get to the hotel.
I go up and knock on the door.
I see everything blurry
''SOFIA? SOFIA?'' a voice says, I know this voice, I actually argued with her before. He grabs me in bridal- style and puts me on the bed.
"I was looking for you everywhere."
"Where the fuck have you been"
"Apollo. Don't shout,me head hurts" I say calmly
''Sorry...''
"Can you take off my clothes and help me put on my pajamas"
''um yes'' he says and blushes. I'm only in my underwear and he's looking at my body
''What the hell are these'' I don't understand what he is saying. I look and see a multitude of bruises.. The bad memories from that afternoon come back to my mind.
''Nothing'' I say worriedly so that he doesn't understand anything. He touches a bruise that is in my thight. Chills. I can't take it anymore. I burst into tears. He surprised and confused, lies down next to me and hugs me.
"Do you want to tell me what happened?" I nodded, I explained everything to him. He looked me in the eyes and said
''I'm sorry for what I said before, love'' he says and caresses my cheek.
"I have to apologize Apollo, you were not wrong"
"No need, I don't want to remind you of your father, I want the best for you"
''He's leaving tomorrow...'' I whisper
"I'll talk to him"
"no please, he will hurt you"
"he won't do anything"
