A/N: OMG! I got 4 reviews! EEEEKKK! I'm so excited! :) :) I know it's kind of silly, but I didn't expect much feedback for this; my other story took awhile before it caught on. Anyway, here's chapter two; it's got some Will/Sophie brother/sister moments. I would have posted it sooner, but I had no idea that I would be asked to continue! Enjoy!

Sophie's POV:

Will was finally home. They had released him from the hospital this morning, three days after his accident, with instructions for complete rest for the next week. He had been very tired after we got home, all the process of actually leaving the hospital having worn him out. He was still asleep now and it was about 1:00 in the afternoon. I was sitting in his room reading a magazine, but it was hard to concentrate. I knew Will was okay now, but it was still hard for me to not be freaking out like I was before. I had almost lost my little brother (granted he's bigger than me, but that's not the point), and I never wanted something like that to happen again. I heard Will shift restlessly next to me, and I looked up to see him yawn and stretch his arms as he woke up. He turned in my direction and grinned sleepily.

"Hey," he said, lying back against his pillows.

"Hey," I replied, setting down my magazine. "How are you feeling?"

"Okay." He yawned again, "A little tired maybe, but overall okay."

"That's good," I said relieved, "do you want to get up and rest on the couch for awhile? It might be a nice change."

"Okay, sounds good." He said sitting up slowly. Once we were in the living room I got him a blanket and he settled himself on the couch, pulling the blanket over his knees.

"Anything else you need?" I asked.

"Tea would be nice, but don't worry about it; I can make it myself." He said, beginning to get up.

"No, no, no, no I'll make it." I said motioning for him to sit back down.

"Soph, I'm perfectly capable to boil water and stick a tea bag in it; I'm not crippled!" Will protested.

"No way; you need to rest. I'm making the tea, and you're going to lie down." I said sternly, getting up and walking into the kitchen. Will sighed exasperated and lay back down. I set the water to boil and started hunting for the tea. When it was ready, I brought it out and found Will flipping through the diving magazine I had left out on the coffee table.

"I can't believe I was so stupid, diving without preparing like that." He said, shaking his head and putting down the magazine as I handed him his tea. He took a sip and wrapped both hands around the mug. "I was such an idiot. Remind me in the future to plug my ears and close my eyes whenever Zane's around, maybe then I can refrain from killing him."

I laughed, "I'll try and remember," I said playfully. I stepped back into the kitchen for a few moments to clean up when I heard a knock at the door.

"I'll get it!" Will called.

"Oh no you won't. Don't move a muscle!" I shouted, hurrying into the living room.

"Sophie!" Will moaned.

"Will!" I imitated back. I'd almost forgotten how annoying my brother could be; it brought back memories.

"Sophie!"

"Go away, I'm busy!"

"Please Soap, I'm bored!" Will pleaded.

"Well guess what? I'm not, and don't call me 'soap'"

"Whatever you say soap." He said with a mischievous smile on his face.

"Aaarrgh! You are so annoying! Get out!" I screamed, getting up off my bed and chasing him out the door.

"Okay, okay, I'm going!" Will snapped, "You're such a meanie!"

"Call me what you like, just GET OUT!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

My eight-year-old brother stormed out and I climbed back on my bed with my Nancy Drew book. I loved to read. Our class was having a Readathon and I was expecting to walk away with first prize, which was fifty dollars cash, a lot of money for a twelve year old. I was engrossed in the part where Nancy was just about to catch the criminal when I heard a screech of tires coming from the road outside, followed by a scream that sounded like it came from my mother. I leaped out of bed and ran down the stairs faster than I'd ever done before. Our screen door was wide open and I dashed outside, seeing a car stopped in front of my house, a strange man with a cell phone pressed to his ear and my mother kneeling by a small figure on the opposite side of the road. My breath caught in my throat and I thought I was going to be sick. That couldn't be…I didn't even want to think about it. I forced myself to walk quickly over to my mom. I reached her and looked down.

It was Will, lying on the ground with his leg bent in an odd angle and tears streaming down his face.

"What happened?" I cried, kneeling next to my mom and grabbing Will's hand.

"I wanted to get my soccer ball," Will sobbed, "but then the car came. Soap, I'm scared!"

Guilt washed over me like a bucket of water, leaving me weak and dizzy. If I had gone out to play with him instead of reading my stupid book, I would have been able to see the car. I should have been looking out for him; isn't that what a big sister's supposed to do? I swallowed hard.

"You're going to be okay Will; it wasn't your fault." I choked. "It was mine," I added silently to myself. Just then I heard the ambulance sirens as they pulled up the road. The man with the cell phone came rushing up to us.

"I am so sorry," he said in shock, "I didn't see him, and it was just after I came up a hill and I was going too fast to stop and I…"

My mom cut him off tearfully, "it's alright, it wasn't your fault; it was nobody's fault."

Nobody's fault.

Nobody's fault.

"Sophie? Hey Soph, you okay? Sophie!"

I snapped out of my daze.

"Huh? Oh, yeah, I'm fine, sorry," I apologized, wringing my hands together and walking towards the door. I opened it and saw Bella, Rikki, and Cleo on the other side.

"How is he?" Bella asked immediately.

"Bella told us there was an accident, is everything alright?" Cleo cried.

"Come in, but he really needs to rest so you can't stay long," I said, opening the door a bit wider.

"Soph, it's alright; I feel a lot better, really," Will called from the couch.

I shook my head, "He refuses to stay put; you have no idea all the trouble I've had with him this morning," I scolded teasingly. Will rolled his eyes and turned to Bella.

"Come over here, I want to hug you, but if I move Sophie will kill me!" He joked. Bella climbed on the couch with him and he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her hair. "I've missed you." He whispered softly.

"I've missed you too." She whispered back. He tilted her chin up and kissed her gently.

"Awww," Cleo murmured.

Rikki rolled her eyes and cleared her throat loudly. I smiled as Will and Bella broke apart, both smiling sheepishly.

Rikki plopped herself down on the chair next to the couch and turned to face Will.

"Tell us what happened," she demanded, "Bella has yet to fill us in; she's been too busy worrying about you."

Will grinned and tightened his arm around Bella a bit. She snuggled into his chest and sighed contentedly.

"Well, actually it was really all my fault –" he began, but Bella cut him off.

"Don't be ridiculous, it was NOT your fault, Zane was being a jerk." She turned apologetically to Rikki. "Rikki, I'm sorry but he was really out of line."

"What did he do this time?" Rikki sighed. Will and I exchanged glances.

"Come on, come on, tell me so that way I'll have an excuse to yell at him." She encouraged.

"You tell her Soph," Will said. I couldn't help but notice that he was looking pale. I locked eyes with Bella, and we gave each other knowing glances.

"Okay, I'll do the talking, just sit tight and relax." I said. He nodded tiredly and closed his eyes.

"There's not all that much to tell really." I began. "Zane dived and went down to forty meters on the first time down, something's that's not really possible if you're not experienced. He somehow made it back and taunted Will about how he had only dived thirty meters. Will got angry and dived without preparing, and then passed out. Bella dived in to rescue him and ––"

"Bella, WHAT!" Cleo and Rikki shouted at once. I looked at Bella. "You didn't…?" She shook her head.

"Uh oh," She said, looking from Cleo to Rikki. They both glared at her.

"Bella…" Cleo said warningly, "Is there something you're supposed to be telling us right about now?"

"I'm sorry guys, but Sophie found out about me, it was Will life or my secret and I had to save him; I had to try." She looked at them nervously.

"The doctor said any longer and he would have died." I added in.

Cleo sighed, "Bella, did you tell her everything?"

Bella shook her head and Cleo looked at Rikki.

"I think we should; it's only a matter of time." Rikki said.

"Tell me what?" I said curiously.

"Sophie, we're all mermaids, me Cleo and Bella." Rikki said bluntly.

My eyes widened, but I soon realized how logical that was. They were always together, and they would always swim together with Will. I was surprised that I hadn't figured it out myself after Bella first told me.

"That makes sense," I said slowly, "and you don't have to worry; I'm not going to tell anyone."

Cleo sighed with relief. "Thanks Sophie, I guess we underestimated you." She said apologetically. I smiled.

"It's okay, I'm just glad everything turned out alright." I said.

Bella shook her head. "I'm really sorry that I didn't tell you guys that she knew sooner; I know it seems terrible that I threw it all away like that, but there was nothing else for me to do."

Cleo reached out and put her arm around Bella, "Bella, we're NOT mad at you. I don't blame you, I would have done the same thing for Lewis."

Rikki nodded in agreement. "And I would have done it for Zane––I think."

Will chuckled, "What do you mean, 'you think'?" He asked

"After what he did, I don't know!" she growled. "I can't believe that jerk; he could have killed you." Will grinned slightly at the intensity of her anger, and then shook his head, wincing in the process.

"Will, are you alright?" I asked quickly.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a headache," he nodded, and then winced again. "I've GOT to stop doing that!" he groaned, rubbing his temple.

"Will, you really should get some rest, maybe you should take a nap?" Bella said seriously, placing her hand on top of his.

He looked down at her. "I know you're right," he said, nuzzling her neck a little and then out of the blue, he kissed her hard.

"Will!" she squealed playfully, pushing him away, "That doesn't qualify as resting!"

"No, but it'll give me something awesome to dream about," he chuckled.

Rikki made a face and stood up, "and I think that's my cue to leave." She said. "I have some 'things' to take care of."

"Rikki…. what do you mean by 'things'?" Cleo questioned suspiciously.

"There's a certain person who needs to be yelled at because of his pathetic ego…that's the first thing anyway." Rikki stormed out of the boathouse before Cleo could say another word, mumbling something about a "jerk".

Cleo shook her head after her. "I'd better be going too; hope you feel better Will." She said as she walked out the door.

Bella sat up, "I'll see you again later Will, get some rest okay?" She kissed him gently on the cheek.

"I'll try," he mumbled, hugging her again before she got up.

"Bye Sophie, I'll talk to you later," she said as she opened the door.

"Okay, I'll call you if he gets difficult again," I grinned. She laughed and left, closing the door silently behind her.

"How bad is your headache?" I asked as soon as she was out the door, fixing his blankets around him as he settled down.

"Pretty bad," he admitted, taking a sip of his tea.

"Will I'm sorry." I said softly, sitting down beside him.

"Sorry? For what? That you got a lemon seed in my tea?" Will teased.

I sighed, "No, not for that, for all this," I motioned towards him.

"For what? You mean the accident?" Will asked incredulously. I nodded silently.

"Soph, you can't possibly be blaming yourself for that, it was my fault entirely; I totally screwed up. Maybe I had a little help from Zane, but still, it had nothing to do with you."

"Yes it did, I should have tried harder to stop you." I cried, standing up. I could feel tears pushing against the back off my eyes.

"Will, I almost lost you forever," I choked, "I should have done something; I'm sure I could have convinced you if I had tried. Every single time I've blown it." A sob escaped from my lips. I heard Will standing up, but I didn't bother to tell him to sit back down. I felt him pull me into his arms, and I buried my face in his chest. He held me close and stroked my hair.

"Hey, take it easy. It's okay; I'm okay; everything is fine," he murmured softly. "There was nothing you could have done; I can tell you now that you could never have changed my mind. I was going to make that dive no matter what; it was stupid, but you couldn't have made me think otherwise even if you had talked for the rest of your life."

I sniffed, "Really?"

"Really." he replied. "But what do you mean 'every single time'?" He asked curiously. "When was the other time?"

"When we were little remember? You got hit by a car and broke your leg; you had to be in a cast for two months."

"Yeah, I remember that, but how in the world do you make that your fault?"

"You asked me to play with you and I told you to go away. If I hadn't, you would have been fine. That car could have killed you, you could have drowned Monday…"

"Sophie, you can't live like this." Will said sternly, "Every thing happens for a reason, and these two accidents were no different. Don't blame yourself for everything, what would you say if I told you that I blamed myself when you got in that car accident last year? Remember? When you had a concussion and they made you stay in the hospital for two days."

"That's silly," I said, startled, "I was driving; you weren't even in the car. How could you blame yourself?"

Will shrugged. "I could have driven you myself, I could have done something."

"That makes no sense; how were you to know that a car was going to pass a light? That's crazy."

"See?" He said, "You're being the same way. How were you to know that a car would run across the road and hit me? How would you know that I wasn't going to make it back from that dive okay; I've dove that deep before; I could have just been lucky."

I was quiet. "I guess you're right." I said slowly.

"Of course I am," He grinned weakly and kissed me on the cheek. I hugged him and I could tell he was very tired.

"Now," I said, drying my eyes, "go and take that nap, you look like you could use it."

"I'm not going to argue with you there," he agreed as he lay down without a protest. I tucked the blankets around his shoulders and he was soon asleep.

A/N: This chapter was LONG! I was really happy with how it turned out though. The conversation between Will and Sophie was originally going to be between Will and Bella, but that wouldn't make sense because she DID do something; she exposed her secret and saved his life. I feel like Sophie's character is never given enough time to expand, like Will and Bella, so that's why this chapter was from her POV. I was a little skeptical about writing her POV, but I think it came out good. Thanks for all your amazing reviews! I was so excited! Review please and tell me what you think! I have vacation this week, so if you review soon I might update again this week! :) Be sure and check out my other H2O story, Hold On Tight. It's a Wella fic too. :) Thanks so much for reading! Luv ya!:):)
