WOW! Thanks so much for all the comments guys! They seriously mean so much to me. I don't know any of you guys' names, so if you plan on sticking around, post your name in the comment you leave, that way I can reply to your comments better and we can all get to know each other haha. So, this chapter was so rushed. I actually haven't even spell checked it, since my program decided to stop working. Sooo I am so sorry for spelling mistakes, I just wanted to get it up tonight. This will be the last short chapter you guys will have to read, you can expect them to be twice as long as they are now.

Thanks again for you guys that commented, it honestly means the world and I'm flattered that you enjoy my writing.

The sun had yet to come up and Sophia was already making her way towards the trailer. She could feel the piercing eyes of crew workers following her every step. She thought that by now everyone would have moved on and gossiped about something else, but Sophia was clearly wrong. So with that she quickened her step and widened the fake smile.

The trailer door felt cold against her finger tips and she expected to walk into a dark trailer, but instead was greeted by Joy and Moira. "What are you guys doing here?" Sophia smiled, placing her keys on a small table and making her way towards the women she had become so close to in the past few years. She could tell by their expressions that what they had to say wasn't going to be pleasant.

"Sorry," Moira apologetically smiled and Joy gave one of her famous nervous giggles. "we just wanted to talk to you and see how things have been." Moira continued and gave Joy a gentle squeeze on the shoulder sensing her discomfort.

"I'm okay." Sophia shrugged, looking down, and fumbling with the scarf she had wrapped around her neck. "Liar." She told herself. Things weren't fine. They were far from fine. Why couldn't she just tell the truth. She needed to tell someone how she really felt, how hurt she really was. She tried telling Bevin, she actually told Bevin small parts of it, but never the whole thing. She felt as though it was trying to claw its way out. Like she needed to fully and truly let out all the emotions she was hiding inside. But Sophia didn't. She couldn't let anyone know how hurt she was because of him. How weak she was. How weak she was when it came to him.

"Sweetie," Moira whispered, getting up and making her way towards Sophia. She sat down next to her and Sophia instinctively pulled away a little as Moira scooted closer. But when Moira pulled her into a hug Sophia for the first time in days felt safe and comforted. "don't tell me you're okay. Because we all know you're far from okay. I know you're a strong girl Soph. But telling us won't change the way we think of you. You can't get through this alone baby." Moira whispered as she held her grip on Sophia's tense body.

Sophia slowly nodded and when she felt Moira's grip loosen she slowly pulled away and swallowed. "I just feel like... like... like I've lost him." She stopped and tightly closed her eyes until she was sure the tears were gone. "It won't ever be the same. I don't want to be on my own. I need him..." Sophia stopped again and this time she looked at Moira, as if she was looking for approval. Moira smiled with sympathy and nodded for her to continue. "I remember the first time I ever saw him, I remember everything. I remember the first time he told me how much he loved me." Sophia was now freely talking, as if her mind was turned off and it was a deeper part of her speaking, the part she had locked away for the past few months. "Everything without him feels wrong. Life without him feels wrong. But if I take him back... how bad would I look?" Sophia shook her head and gave a small raspy laugh. "If he gets away with this, yeah he could stay faithful for a while... but maybe in a few years he would be tempted again. And he would know I forgave him before, so he would think I'd forgive him again. And why? Why if he says he loves me sooooooooo much, and that he would never hurt me, would he cheat on me? Because I can't think of anything more painful." Sophia finished, and with that went back to reducing herself to almost nothing.

Moira nodded, as if she understood the last things Sophia said. Like she somehow understood the inner struggle Sophia must be going through right now. Sophia was tentatively looking at her, hoping that whatever she was about to say could somehow point her in the right direction, because she was lost.

"I can't even begin to imagine what you must be feeling. But from my few years of experience, I'll tell you my opinion." Sophia nodded and she could feel her heart thumping wildly. "He loves you." Moira laughed and Sophia couldn't help but sadly giggle along with her. "We both know that," Moira continued, now turning her gaze into that of a more serious one. "but he screwed up. And to be quite honest with you Sophia, what he did... you will never forget that. It will always be there." She quickly stopped noticing the expression Sophia had on her face. "Now, Sophia Anna! Don't you dare cry." Moira motioned for joy to come over.

"Sorry." Sophia's voice cracked as she gave them both a smile.

Moira waved it away and continued talking. "Now, I'm not saying that life won't ever be good for you guys. Because I know that you both will work through this. But I don't want you to think that hearing him apologize should make you forget everything he ever did wrong. Because it won't, you just need to acknowledge the fact that it happened. Because if you try to hide it away, it will always be there, in the back of your mind, trying to claw it's way out." Moira stopped and looked around the room. Almost as if she wasn't sure of her next words. She turned her gaze back to Sophia and locked eyes with her. "This next part is up to you. Do you love him?" Sophia nodded. "Will you always love him?" Sophia nodded again. "Will you be able to forgive him?" Sophia hesitated for a moment, but slowly nodded. With that last nod it felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off. As if, no matter how hard these next few months would be, no matter how many more times he made her cry, she would be okay. Because in the end she would have him.

"Well, then. I don't think you have much to worry about Mrs. Murray." Moira clapped and Joy jumped on Sophia, taking her in a long embrace. Moira laughed and began getting up.

"Aw Moir, you're leaving!?" Joy pouted, pulling herself off Sophia.

"We have work to do... remember?" Moira joked, giving both girls a wink before walking out of the trailer.

"Feel better?" Joy whispered giving Sophia a small nudge with her shoulder. Sophia looked up at her with a smile on her face. And for the first time in months, Joy could tell it was a real Sophia Anna Bush smile, not one of her fake ones.

"Surprisingly." Sophia nodded.

"Good!" Joy nodded back. "It sucks seeing you both like this." Joy said with a shocked tone, and looked up at Sophia with a confused look on her face. They both began to laugh and Sophia gave her a quick pat on the knee as she began to get up.

"Don't even want to know why you look so shocked that you feel bad for us." Sophia laughed, walking towards her cell phone which she had set on the coffee table along with her keys.

"It's just odd, not seeing you guys together. And that I would feel so bad for two people splitting up... I guess it must be because you really love each other and..." Sophia was no longer listening to what Joy was saying. Instead she had her eyes fixed on the small screen. She couldn't stop reading the three small words. "I'll fix this." Sophia had a permanent smile fixed on her face.

Sophia laughed as Joanne, the hair and makeup lady smudged some flour on her cheeks. Sophia was sitting on the makeup chair and looking over the lines. They were about to begin filming for episode "3.13- The Wind That Blew My Heart Away". Sophia couldn't help but feel really nervous. She knew exactly what this episode was about, and she wasn't sure she could keep her composure. She just had to keep reminding herself, this was Brooke and Lucas, not her and Chad. In Tree Hill all her problems didn't exist.

"How's Chad?" Joanne asked, bringing Sophia back.

"Uh... I don't really know?" Sophia shrugged feeling a little guilty. "Okay, I guess."

"And how are you?"

"I'm better." Sophia whispered.

"I'm glad to hear that, I knew you guys would work things out."

Sophia didn't say anything, instead she let out a breath and slowly nodded her head, as if she was trying to convince herself.

"Well, I think I'm all done." Joanne smiled at the mirror, watching Sophia study the makeup and flour decorating her face.

Sophia laughed, scrunching her nose, before getting up and beginning to walk out of the trailer. "Thanks Jo."

"Alright, Chad... you just walk in drenched." Mark instructs, as Chad watched him walk around the small set, like he wants Lucas to do. "Oh, hey Soph!" Mark greets the petite brunette with a wave before turning back to Lucas. "Then she's gonna come over, say her lines. And kiss." Mark looked up, not failing to notice the tension that had filled the room as he said the last two words. "Or, we can just... we'll save the kiss for the makeup. Build tension." He awkwardly smiled. Mark knew he couldn't keep holding off having them kiss, but he would try his best.

"It's okay, Schawn. We're both professional." Sophia assured him, but that didn't mean she was scared as hell.

"Nah, build the tension." He repeated, turning around and walking towards the director's chair. "You went over your blocking yesterday, right Soph?" Sophia nodded and began to walk towards Mark. She didn't need to be in the scene of "Lucas" coming in. So she sat by Mark and watched Chad mess up. Normally she would laugh and make jokes about it, but not now. Now she didn't even crack a smile when he tripped coming in or accidentally slipped on the wet floor.

After he was finally done it was her turn. She could feel a sick feeling begin to crawl into her and she tried shaking it off. "Soph, you okay?" Mark called from the director's chair.

"Yep!" She called back from across the sound stage, her raspy voice cracking.

"You sure you're okay?" She didn't turn around. Instead she closed her eyes and took in his scent. It felt so good to have him close to her. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding and when she felt him grab her shoulders, beginning to massage her, she couldn't help but whimper. "Good." He whispered into her ear seductively, and she let out a low moan, tilting her head a little due to the sensation he was giving her.

"Chad." She finally spoke. Shrugging is hands off of her and beginning to walk to where her cue was. "Professional. Remember?" He smiled and nodded and she tried to keep her smile hidden.

"Alright, Scene 1, take 1. Background! And...Action!"

"It's crazy out there! You got a towel?" Sophia heard "Lucas" speak, which was her cue to skip over to him.

"I.... do you have my next letter?!" She let out all together and placed her hand out. In the script Lucas was supposed to give it to her without hesitation, but knowing Chad, she wasn't completely surprised when he pulled it back and half puckered for a kiss. She felt the old side of her take over, and for the first time in months it felt like everything was normal again. She went with it and as he gently attempted to wipe away some of the flour and go in for a kiss, Sophia snatched up the letter from his hand, and skipped back to a small couch.

"And... cut!" Mark called from across the sound stage. "Great job guys! I don't think we need another take... what do you think Craig?"

"Yeah, we got it."

"Awesome. Go take a quick break guys." Mark instructed and Sophia began to walk out the door and into her trailer, where she knew Patch would be waiting. She heard footsteps running up to her and she didn't bother to turn around. She knew who it was.

"That was pretty good Soph." Chad smiled proudly down at the brunette.

"Yeah, we did alright." She whispered, giving him a small wink. He wasn't sure what had changed in the past few hours. Before when he looked at her there was nothing but pain, but now when he looked at her, her eyes were full of hope.

"I was wondering. Maybe... you wanna come over tonight?" Chad looked down at her with hopeful eyes and was disappointed to see Sophia shake her head. "Listen, Tyler's out. And we could just hangout. Eagles game tonight." He continued trying to tempt her. She laughed knowing exactly what he was doing and then looked up at him more seriously, as if making sure he really wanted this.

"Just watching the game?" She asked cautiously.

"Nothing more." He assured her.

She looked up at him, biting her lip. The way he was looking at her... how could she possibly say no to those baby blue eyes she loves so much? Maybe this was the thing they needed to finally start making steps towards fixing their relationship. Part of her was scared though, this was all being too easy. It was almost as though there had to be a catch. With one last look at him she sighed and threw her hands in the air. "What the heck. I'll come." She laughed and she could see that the smile on his face had already made her decision worth it.
