The next morning, Rachel and Shawn sat at the dining table, eating their breakfast. Rachel's expression turned serious, her eyes narrowing slightly.
"Is there something you want to tell me?" she asked, her voice laced with suspicion.
Shawn raised his face to hers, his eyes questioning. Sofia, who was coming down from her room, stopped to listen to their conversation, her eyes fixed on the scene unfolding before her.
"What do you mean?" He asked, his brow furrowed.
Her expression turned cold. "Tell me, Shawn, what is your relationship with Sofia?" she asked, her voice unlikely. Shawn returned to his meal, his eyes avoiding Rachel's. "Answer me, Shawn," She yelled, her voice rising.
His eyes snapped up, his expression annoyed. "Can you just keep it down?" he asked and she scoffed, her face reddening.
"Keep it down? You expect me to keep it down when you are obviously cheating on me with that... slave?" she spat, her eyes blazing with anger.
Shawn's expression turned furious, his eyes flashing. "Don't you dare address her as slave," he growled, his voice low and menacing. "What right do you have to call her that?"
"I have every right, Shawn. I know the whole story about you two. Why are you still keeping her here? Is she warming your bed for you every night?" she accused, her voice venomous.
His face darkened, his eyes blazing. He slammed his fist on the table, making Rachel jump. "That's enough, Rachel!" he thundered.
Her eyes flashed with defiance. "I won't stop!" she retorted. "I am your fiancée, and I deserve to know what's going on between you two. You claim there's nothing between you two, but you were kissing her last night!" she exclaimed, tears filling her eyes.
Shawn stood up, his face furious, and stormed out of the room. Sofia sighed and slipped out of the house using the back door, avoiding the drama unfolding inside.
Later in school, Sofia sat alone in the hall, her eyes cast downward, her shoulders slumped in despair. Mabel approached her, holding two cups of warm coffee.
"Here you go," she said, offering Sofia a cup.She took the cup from Mabel and sighed, her eyes still downcast. Mabel's expression turned concerned. "What's wrong?" she asked, sitting down beside Sofia.
Sofia hesitated, then asked, "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it?"He face turned thoughtful
She sighed, her eyes searching Mabel's face. "What will you do in a situation when you are the cause of ruining a relationship?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Mabel was confused confused, and she thought for a moment before responding. "If I am the cause of ruining a relationship, the best thing to do is to set boundaries," she said, her voice confident.
"Boundaries?" her eyes narrowed slightly.
Mabel nodded. "Yes, if you feel that your relationships with both couples are becoming too complicated or toxic, it may be necessary to set boundaries or distance yourself from one or both couples."
Sofia sighed, her eyes cast downward, her shoulders slumping in defeat.
Days later, Sofia decided to take Mabel's advice to heart. After school, she followed Mabel to her house, determined to clear the air with Rachel. It had been two days since the fight with Shawn, and Rachel hadn't come to the house since then. She felt guilty about the whole situation.
As they arrived at Rachel's house, She was greeted warmly by Rachel's family. They showed her to Rachel's room, and She knocked softly before entering.
Rachel stood beside the window, staring out sadly, her eyes red-rimmed from crying.
"Um, Rachel," Sofia called softly, her eyes fixed on Rachel's face. She turned to Sofia, looking surprised.
"What the hell are you doing here?" she spat, her eyes blazing with anger and hurt.
Her expression softened slightly as she replied, "Calm down, I am just here to talk to you."
Her face twisted in pain and sadness. "For what? You have succeeded in ruining my relationship with Shawn, are you happy now?"
She looked at her with pleading eyes. "I am sorry, okay? I just want to clear things up. It's not what you think."
Her expression turned scornful, and she scoffed. "Not what I think? You still come here to show your innocent face to me when I saw you flirting with him."
She looked down, her voice barely above a whisper. "I am sorry about that. Whatever you think you saw, it's nothing."
Her eyes flashed with anger. "Nothing? You two kissed!" she yelled, her face reddening. She sighed, her shoulders slumping in defeat. "Get out of here, I don't want to see you anymore. You are a backstabber, and I hate you so much."
She looked at her with sad eyes. "I am sorry."
Her expression turned cold and calculating. "If you are really sorry, leave Shawn for me."
She shook her head. "I know you are angry. I promise I won't stand in the way between you and Shawn."
Her eyes narrowed, suspicion written all over her face. "And you expect me to believe that."
She reached out, her hand extended in a gesture of peace. "Trust me this time."
Rachel's face contorted in a frown, her eyes flashing with anger and hurt.
Later, Shawn paced around the living room, his brow furrowed in worry. He tried reaching Sofia, but she wasn't picking up. Just then, the door opened, and Shawn's eyes lit up with relief.
"Where have you..." He paused, his eyes widening in surprise as he saw Sofia and Rachel walk in together.
Rachel smiled sweetly. "Hey."
Sofia looked subdued, her eyes cast downward. "Um, I'm sorry I'm home late. I was with Rachel," she said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Rachel added, "She came to see me."
She nodded and quickly excused herself. "I'll be in my room now."
Shawn stared after her, his expression concerned. Rachel moved closer to him, her eyes locked on his. She caressed his shirt, her voice soft and apologetic.
"Babe," she said, "I'm sorry I yelled at you and accused you wrongly. Please forgive me and give me another chance."
Shawn sighed, his eyes still fixed on the door Sofia had just exited.
Meanwhile, Sofia leaned against her bedroom door, her eyes closed, and her chest heaving with a sigh. "Distance, Sofia, you have to keep your distance," she whispered to herself, her voice laced with sadness.
She sat down on her bed and pulled out her phone, sending a text message to Nina. "Hey Nina, will you be busy tomorrow? I'd like us to hang out."
Nina responded immediately. "Sure, I'm available."
She texted back, "Okay, I'll text you where to meet."
She sighed, flipping her phone onto the bed, and stared at the ceiling, her eyes empty and her heart heavy.
At the dining table, they ate calmly, the only sound the clinking of utensils on plates. Sofia broke the silent mood, her voice tentative.
"Um, I will be going out tomorrow with Nina."
Shawn continued eating, his eyes fixed on his plate, pretending he hadn't heard her. His expression remained neutral, but his jaw clenched slightly.
Rachel's eyes sparkled with interest. "That's good, are you hanging out with the other guy too?" she asked, her voice laced with a hint of sarcasm.
Her smile was forced, her eyes darting nervously to Shawn before returning to Rachel. "No, just the two of us."
Rachel's expression turned sympathetic. "Okay, you should hang out sometime, it helps a lot."
Sofia's smile was still forced, her eyes locking onto Shawn's for a brief moment. Shawn's gaze remained fixed on his plate, his expression unreadable. Sofia's eyes dropped, and she returned to eating, the tension at the table palpable.
