Sofia p.o.v.

The first thing I noticed after our plane landed in Some Diego is that I feel somehow at home. It was pretty strange because I moved on to New York when I was just five years old. Tony smiled next to me because for him San Diego is surely home, he lived here for most of his life, after a while he grabbed my hand.
We went to take our luggage, Viviana – my little sister – looked around confused and excited, the last time she saw that city she was three and she probably doesn’t remember a damn thing.
Fanny, next to her, was just curious. She was a Canadian girl, the daughter of the man that my mother wanna married, she and Viviana risked to be the next golden goose for my mother and her father. They tried to force them being a model like I was before meeting Pierce The Veil, but the plain failed because they ran away and reached me.
“Home sweet home!”
Mumbled Tony.
We got our shits and we made our way out of the airport with Vic, Mike, Liz – Vic’s girlfriend – and Leah, the doctor of the band.
It was a sunny day and we stopped for a while outside, we were a little bit sad, Jaime booked a flight for yesterday night and didn’t come with us.
He didn’t even join All Time Low’s party, so the party was a little bit sad without him, because he was a funny guy.
After the party I hugged the All Time Low, the Paramore, Cherry – Jack’s girlfriend – Taylor Momsen, Taylor Jardine and her band, The Bring Me To The Horizon, The Of Mice and Men a bunch of band I didn’t know very well: Tonight Alive, You Me AT Six and Sleeping with Sirens.
I hope I will talk to them in the second part of the Warped Tour.
“Ok, dudes here we go. We are in san Diego and I hope you enjoy the holiday.
Have fun and remember the “three days” rule.”
Vic broke the silence.
“What is the “three days” rule?”
Vic scratched his hair.
“Well, after a tour we have got this rule: for three days we didn’t keep in touch.
Then we started again to call each others, it’s a way to not damage our friendship.”
I laughed.
“OK. So goodbye Vic!”
I hugged him.
“Thanks for being my wise uncle.”
Then I hugged Mike.
“Thanks for being my brother.”
Then is Liz turn.
“Have fun, darling.”
“Have fun too.”
The last was Leah.
“Thanks for saving my life and taking care of me.”
“You’re welcome.”
Then we separated, Leah called a cab and putted her shit in it, waving a goodbye with his pale hands. Vic stopped another cab and he and Mike carry their luggage in.
“So, girls… I think it’s time to call a cab too.”
“Well, I guess you are right, but I already miss them.”
Tony grinned and whispered in my ears.
“Don’t worry. I will find a way to make you don’t miss them.”
I laughed a little embarrassed while he called a cab, Fanny and Viviana were looking around.
“God, there’s too much sun here!”
Said my sister and Fanny nodded.
“You will become used to it, don’t worry.”
I said smiling.
“I’m so happy to come back here!”
“Come back here? I thought you were born in New York:”
I shook my head.
“Nah, we are born in San Diego. I think that Vivi didn’t remember much more of this city because we moved when she was only three years old.”
Fanny nodded and then we all carried our things on a cab, Tony told the driver the address and we finally went away from airport.
We all looked to the city flowing from our windows, it was awesome. The people seemed more relaxed that in New York and there was a hot weather.
The cab finally stopped in front of a giant mansion with a big gate and some walls.
“Woah, Tony! You live in castle!”
Screamed Fanny.
“Yeah, the king of turtles has got his own mansion.”
We unloaded the cab while Tony is opening the gate, than we all walked in, there was a swimming pool and another gate, from which people could reach the beach.
I was speechless, I didn’t know what to say, it was all too huge for me. In New York I lived in a big apartment from which you could see the central park, but I never saw a Californian mansion.
“Ehi, Hyena! Does the cat eat your tongue?”
“Blame the turtle for that!”
Tony laughed and opened the door. Inside the wall a creamy white, there was a kitchen, a big dining room, a huge living room with a big screen tv and a red sofa and a little room full of instruments, clearly his studio.
There were also some posters around the house, it was the best house I never saw.
“Girls?”
Tony called us and we followed him upstairs, she showed two room – one for Vivi, one for Fan – and then leaded me to his room.
“Here’s your room, Hyena. I hope you like it.”
“It’s rad, Tony! Thank you!”
I started to put away my things and time went by fast, in a blink of an eye it was midday and we were all hungry.
Tony called his favorite Mexican restaurant and he ordered the lunch for everyone. Twenty minute later we were all eating in his kitchen. I was to see that my sister was really giving a second chance to Tony, but at the same time I was sad because I knew she missed Jaime.
During afternoon we all slept in our rooms, we were tired for the flight.
We had got dinner together, then Vivi and Fan went away to “visit” San Diego, me and Tony stayed on the couch watching Star Wars.
It finished around midnight and Tony seemed excited for some reason.
“Sofia? Do you wanna come to a place with me?”
“Sure, except you wanna kill me and bury my body in the sand.”
He frowned.
“It was a joke, I’m coming.”
I followed him and he open the little gate which lead to the beach.
There was a big white moon upon us, so we didn’t need a flashlight, I was wondering what he had in mind: a night bath?
“Stop.”
He said in a very low voice.
“Look!”
I pointed his finger toward the sea, a little groups of turtles were coming outside of the water.
“They are laying eggs.”
He said excited.
We watched this wonderful thing for a while, till the last turtle come back to the sea.
“Thanks for this welcome gift, I loved it!”
I kissed him under the moon light and I felt happy.
He always made me happy, now that he stopped to be nasty with him.
He promised to show me his good side and I was enjoying every second of it: it was wonderful.
I felt loved and perfectly good for my life.
He was my only exception.
