Must Read: CONTROLLED [Completed] - Season 2 - Episode 8

Sophie
(ENGLAND)
“Let’s go, Naomi. You want to see Justin?” As
soon I said his name, her head perked up and her
tail started wagging. “Okay, let’s go girl.”
She hopped off of the couch and ran to the door.

Making sure I had my phone, hotel key, and the
slip of paper with his address on it, I grabbed her
leash and opened the door, letting her pull me to the elevators. We went down once more, entering
the lobby. I waved bye to the young man that
helped me before and went out the front doors.

We walked out along the sidewalk, gazing at a
park that was across the street. Making sure there
were no cars, I crossed with Naomi and entered
the park. It was quiet, and the bushes and trees
swayed as the wind blew. The air smelled of fresh
bagels, making my mouth water. I followed the
scent to a bagel stand, and decided I was hungry
enough for a bagel. Giving the man my money in
exchange for a bagel, I sat on a nearby bench and
nibbled on it, giving Naomi a piece every other
minute.
When I was done, I decided it was time to finally
go and surprise Justin. I took out the slip of paper
with his address on it and studied it. I wondered if
it was close to here. I also wondered if he was
even home. I hoped he wasn’t in class, or if he
had a job and he was there right now.
We began walking again, in a direction I wasn’t
even sure was right. Naomi barked when she saw
pigeons and tried to run after them. They all
scattered and flew away, causing Naomi to jump
on her hind paws. I laughed at her, glad she was
having fun.

“Sophie?”
I stopped dead, not laughing anymore. That voice
was so familiar. I turned slowly, gasping silently
when I saw him there, a few yards away from me.
Naomi turned and noticed him, too. She wagged
her tail and barked, trying to pull away from me.
“Justin…” I whispered. My eyes began to tear up,
and I blinked, letting one slip down my cheek. I
dropped Naomi’s leash and ran for him, extending
my arms and tackling him in a hug. “I missed you
so much.”
He was still the same. He still looked the same,
he still sounded the same… he even felt the same
as I embraced him tightly.
“Sophie…” he whispered, pulling back. “I missed
you, too.” And right then, his lips were on mine.
By then, I was crying out of happiness. All of my
bad memories, and everything that happened in
the past couple of days seemed to slip away.
Ricky became just a memory to me, knowing I
was safe in Justin’s arms.
We both pulled back, catching our breath. Naomi
came up and jumped on Justin, wagging her tail
and licking his face. We both laughed, knowing
Naomi missed him as much as I did. We hadn’t
seen each other in nine months, and I was so
happy to see him. Naomi jumped down, but still
wagged her tail as she stared up at Justin. He
looked at me, his eyes filled with love, happiness
and confusion.

“It’s so good to see you,” he said, embracing me
again. “What are you doing here?”
I stepped back, not meeting his eyes. I didn’t want
to tell him why I was here. But I knew he had a
right to know. I started crying again as memories
flooded back into my mind. Meeting his eyes, he
instantly knew something was wrong.
“Ricky is back…” I whispered. “He attacked me a
few nights ago.”

His eyes filled with anger, sadness, and
bewilderment. “I thought he was dead,” he said
flatly, gritting his teeth. When I shook my head,
he sighed. “How could he be alive?”
shook my head. “I don’t know. But when I told
my mom and Darius about it, they wanted me to
come home. Home is the first place he’d look for
me, so I told them no. That’s when I told them I
was going to England,” I said, trying to smile, but
failed. “He won’t know I’m here.”
“So they still didn’t catch him?” he asked, eyes
still burning with anger.

“No,” I whispered. He pulled me into another hug
and kissed the top of my head.
“It’s okay, Sophie,” he whispered. “You’re safe
here.”

I leaned into him and hugged him again, drinking
in his scent. He smelled like honey, and it was
nice. A few minutes later, I pulled out of his hug
and reached down to grab Naomi’s leash. I turned
back to him.
“Are you busy?”
He smiled and shook his head. “No, I was just
taking a walk. And then I saw you.”
I wrapped my arm around his and started leading
him in the direction of the hotel. “Are you hungry?

My hotel has room service,” I told him. I thought
for a second and smiled wickedly at him. “And a
basketball court.”
He chuckled and smiled down at me. “You’re on.”

i jumped when my phone rang from my pocket. I
dug it out and answered it.

“Hello?”
“Where are you, Sophie? Tell me where you are
right now .”
I froze and dropped the phone on the bench I was
sitting on. No, how did he get my number. That’s
impossible. I blocked all numbers that weren’t
programmed into my phone. I picked back up the
phone and put it to my ear.

“How the hell did you get my number,” I choked
out.

“Sophie, tell me where you are. I can’t find you.
Where did you go, God dammit?!” he screamed
into the phone. I flinched, but kept the phone in
my hand.
“Somewhere you’ll never find me. Now just leave
me alone !” I shouted, hanging up the phone. How
did he get my number? Why wasn’t it blocked?
Most importantly, what would he do if he could
never find me?
