April 7th, 2022

Sofia Ramirez walked to the front door of her stepbrother's house. Sofia had been itching to confront her father since she found the phone, there was just something about the whole situation that not only pissed her off but made her curious. 

Who else knew?

Why didn't they tell her?

Who was her biological mom?

Was she alive?

Was Carlos even her real dad?

If not where and who was her real one?

She had thousands of questions, but she knew she wouldn't be able to ask because she knew how this conversation would go, screaming, fighting, crying, etc. She didn't want that, but she it would happen.

Sofia walked in after Nate who was greeted by his mom who pulled him into a hug. Sofia didn't listen to anything anyone said as she glanced around the room to see all of her siblings together into one room. 

It was the perfect day, she could talk to all of them, but it was also Athena's birthday, and she didn't want to ruin it by going off on her family. Sofia paid no attention as she gave Rebecca a hug. Andrew and Sam then came over greeting Sofia with a hug, but Sofia's eyes were laid on her father.

He sat down on the couch, waiting for Sofia to come over and give him a hug. Sofia talked with her siblings, before making her into her room to put her suitcase. Sofia paced her room as she thought about how and when to ask.

Sofia paused when Mason came in, "What are you doing?" he asked as he placed his suitcase in front of their bed. "Uh, nothing, I'm just thinking," Sofia told him, "About what?" he asked, "My mom," Sofia lied, it wasn't the full truth, because she was thinking about her, but she was actually thinking about how to ask her dad if she was adopted, and she was also thinking about how.

"Are you okay?" Mason asked, genuinely concerned because Sofia hated talking about her mom, "I'm fine," she nodded, "C'mon let's go back out there," Sofia grabbed his hand and led him out of the room and went back into the room.

Sofia walked over to her dad and greeted him with a hug before sitting down next to him. Sofia listened to their conversation, completely zoned, she patiently waited for the right moment, she just didn't know when to ask, but she needed to know, so she blurted it out.

"Am I adopted?" Sofia asked her dad, clenching her jaw to stop herself from crying. Everyone stopped talking as their eyes trailed to Sofia in either confusion, fear, or shock. 

"What?" Carlos asked in confusion, but Sofia knew her dad and she knew that his reaction was completely fake. "You know what, I know I'm adopted because I found the fricking papers!" Sofia exclaimed pulling the papers out of her back pocket.

"Where did you find those?" Carlos asked, standing up from his spot on the couch, "I found them in attic!" Sofia shouted as a tear ran down her face, "Sofia I can explain..." Carlos trailed off, "Explain what?! How you hid the fact that I was adopted, that we all were adopted?" Sofia questioned.

"Sofia, I think you should calm do-" Mason started looking at Carlos in disbelief, "Don't you dare tell me to calm down! I have every right to pissed," Sofia cut him off.

"You lied to me, to all of us." Sofia's voice cracked, "I didn't lie to all of you," Carlos blurted out.

Sofia's angry and sad expression turned into confusion before turning into realization as looked around at her siblings, "You all knew, didn't you?" Sofia asked in a whisper, biting her bottom lip, as she crumbled the papers in her hands.

"The best part of my life was fake? And none of you told me?" Sofia's voice cracked as her heart broke once again.

"Did you guys know too?" Sofia turned to her best friends and boyfriend in question, "No, no I didn't know," Brooke shook her head, "I wouldn't do that to you," Brooke sent a look to Carlos of disappointment and shock all at once.

"Khai? Mason? Nate?" Sofia questioned chocking back a sob, "No," Nate denied, "Khai?" Khai shook his head no with a sad look. He felt bad for his sister, his whole mood changed, he couldn't believe it. How could they do that to her?

"Mason...?" Sofia asked with a sad look, hoping he didn't know, "N-no, I didn't know," Mason denied stepping closer to Sofia to hold her hand, but Sofia didn't want to be touched, "I could never do that to someone I love, especially with something that big," 

"You all knew? All of you? And none you thought it would be a good idea to fill me in?" Sofia asked with shout, but nobody said anything, "Answer me, god damn it! How could you guys lie to me? Why didn't you think to tell me?" Sofia asked raising her voice.

"Because we knew how you'd react," Sam spoke up, "W-w-what l-like a psychopath?" Sofia questioned, "That's what you're all thinking, isn't it? Because-"

"Because we knew you'd freak out, Mija, I didn't want to lie to you, and I am so-" Carlos started trying to explain and apologize, "No, no you don't get to explain or apologize, you lied to me, y-you betrayed my trust!" Sofia exclaimed.

"You guys are just liars," Sofia breathed out, sadness filling her tone.

"I-I can't," Sofia backed away from them as her dad tried to talk to her, "You lied to me! All of you lied to!" Sofia cried, "I'm so sorry," Andrew apologized stepping closer, "No, no." Sofia shook her head, "S-so it's true, we're all adopted?" Carlos couldn't bring himself to say anything as he watched his daughter break down, he just nodded.

"Sofia!" Sam and Carlos called out trying to reach for her, Sam managed to grab Sofia and bring her closer to the two, but she shoved her off, "Get off of me!" Sofia shoved Carlos's hands off of her and ran to her room.

Sofia ran to the bathroom in her room, quickly locked the door, and sunk down in front of it as she cried. She knew the truth, but what hurt her more was the fact that everyone knew, and they never told her.

In Sofia's eyes they were all filthy little liars, minus her best friends and boyfriend. 

How could they lie to her? especially about something so big, like Mason said. They were her family and they decided to tell everyone except her. Sofia placed a hand over her mouth trying not to cry again, but it slipped out. 

Sofia sobbed until her stomach hurt, she felt like she was overacting, and she hated it, but she couldn't help it as the tears streamed down her face. Sofia could feel another panic attack coming on and she didn't know what to do.

 So, she called Matt remembering that he told if she ever had another to just call. She called Matt, waiting for him to answer, the phone rang for two seconds before she heard Matt's voice, "Matt?" Sofia sniffled.

"Sofia? Are you okay?" Matt asked with concern dripping from his tongue, "I-I I'm having another p-panic attack," Sofia stuttered, "Just stay calm, okay? Remember take deep calm breaths," Matt instructed.

Matt used the same technique he used the first time, which seemed to really work. After a few minutes of crying and doing Matt's exercises Sofia had finally calmed down.

Sofia had explained to Matt what happened, but she told him she didn't want to talk about it anymore, he understood and told her that he'd call her another time because he was kind of busy.

"Thanks Matt," Sofia smiled, "You're welcome," Matt smiled back, "I-I'll call you later," Sofia excused, "Bye Sofia," Matt then hung up, "Bye Matty b," Sofia muttered with a small smile.

Mason glanced around the room in disappointment, "How could you guys? Do you not know what that stuff does to people?" Mason asked, "We meant to tell her but there was never a ri-" "A right time?" Mason asked cutting Andrew off.

"There's always a right time if you find the time," Mason then walked away from them and to his girlfriend. When he opened the door, he didn't see Sofia, but he heard her muffled voice from the bathroom. 

"Bye Matty b," Mason heard, he then knocked on the door, which caused Sofia to jump from the other side, "Go away," Sofia muttered, "It's me, Mason. Can I come in?" he questioned, Sofia stood up and opened the door.

"Are you okay?" Mason asked, he felt bad, about what happened. It was about worst new Sofia had ever found out and he needed make sure she was okay. "I'm fine, but I-I, uh, I think I'm gonna go back to LA or New York," Sofia wasn't thinking straight, she just needed to get out of the house. 

No matter how tired she was, she just wanted to back to LA. She needed that break that Matt had mentioned, "I'll come with you." Mason suggested, Sofia shook her head, "No, no, Mason. Just me. Alone."

"I understand," Mason nodded, with a small smile, "I just need a break," Sofia sent him a tight-lipped smile before she started packing another suitcase. Sofia threw all of her clothes that sat in her suitcase onto her bed and threw random outfits into her now empty suitcase.

She quickly folded up her clean clothes and put them away. She ordered a ticket as Mason tried to talk her out of it, "Sofia just think for a second, you're going all by yourself," When it came to Sofia going places all by herself, without him or a friend, he became very overprotective.

"Maybe I can stay with the triplets," Sofia shrugged in question, "I thought you were going to New York?" Mason raised his eyebrows in confusion, "I just clicked on what I saw, okay? I'm going to LA, and I'll be fine." Sofia spoke with a deadpanned expression.

Sofia finished packing her clothes in silence as Mason watched, once she finished, she grabbed her suitcase and her phone; she gave Mason a quick kiss and went outside completely ignoring her family calls. Her Uber arrived just in time, she got in and watched the view from her window.

Sofia then remembered that she had a job and texted her boss.

Sofia
Thanks Steph

Sofia turned her phone off, thanking her Uber driver once she arrived at the airport. She grabbed her suitcase from the trunk as she walked into the airport. Sofia felt like nothing at this point. She just wished her adopted mom; Athena was still here so she could ask her questions.

Sofia couldn't ask her dad, she was too pissed at him to ask, but she could never stay mad her mom for long, she always broke. She just couldn't, Sofia thought of all the good times she had with her mom as her phone rang.

She was getting messages from everyone, her dad, Andrew, Sam, Mateo, Mason, Brook, Khai, Rebecca, Nate, even Nate. They all just wanted to talk, they wanted to help, but Sofia was about to help herself. She figured going to LA by herself would a good thing.

Even though she was just there, she'd be getting time all to herself, just like Matt said. So, after going through security, Sofia walked to her gate and sat there until they called her flight. Which wasn't for another six hours, but she just wanted to get out of that hellhole.

Sofia wondered the airport for six hours, she did absolutely nothing except walk around and think. She thought about her mom and her dad and how they lied to her, she didn't cry she just thought. Remembering the times with her 'mom' before she had passed and how much fun they had together.

It made Sofia sad, for many reasons, but she tried her best not to think of her even though everything she saw reminder Sofia of her. Once the six hours passed Sofia walked to her gate and sat their till they called it.

They eventually did and Sofia's phone was blowing up at this point. Sofia figured Mason had told everyone that she had left, but that obviously didn't stop them from texting her. Sofia opened her phone to see multiple amounts of texts from each of her siblings and her dad.

Sofia scrolled them before shutting her phone off completely. She didn't want to talk to anyone, and she didn't want her phone being blown up. Sofia glanced up at the speakers as the pilot announced their take off.
