Chapter 9: Taking a step back…

Teddy's POV:

After the whole ordeal last night. I want Sophie to have a nice time out on the yacht today. The family that it was a good idea to take her out. We were on The Grace today. Sophie has not left my side last night. This guy really got to her. "Sophie, would you like to come outside with us?" I asked her. She seemed distant this morning. She shook her head and I sighed leaving her inside. I walked to the lounge chair and sat down placing my head in my hands. "Son?" my dad said. I sighed and looked up at him, "Something is wrong with Sophie and I don't know how to help her dad." I told him feeling like I was losing her before we started to live. "Son, she needs time." He told me and I nodded. I stayed where I was and watched as The Grace was soaring through the water. An hour later I went to go check on her. That is when I saw her cutting herself. "Sophie what in the world are you doing?" I looked at her stunned. She gasped, "Teddy you weren't supposed to see this…" She looked down on the verge of a break down. I ran to her and took the cutting edge out of her hand. Sophie looked at me like I took the one thing to that meant everything to her. I throw it away and walked away from her.

Sophie's POV:

He caught me. He was angry and he left me. I sat there pulling up my knees and wrap my arms around them. I saw the anger and disappointment in his eyes, I finally sobbed. I couldn't help it. I just needed to cut to get rid of the pain. I saw Grace come my way with something in her hand. "Teddy told me that you need some attention." She said with concern in her voice. I started to sob harder. "Sophie darling let me see your wrists please." She said as gently as she could. I pulled up my sleeves and that is when Gail and Ana came in and I heard them gasped. Could this get any worse? When they both walked over to me, Grace was finished and they all hugged me and let me cry. Gail was the last one to stay with me. I laid my head on her lap and she ran her fingers through my hair and I started to fall asleep. "You need to go in there Theodore Raymond and tell her you love her" I heard Ana shout. I was alone. "Why mom?" He shouted back. "Because that girl in there has been through hell and back and you are doing nothing but acting like a child." She shouted more. "What she needs right now is her fiancé to be a man and man up and go over there and comfort her." I heard her finish.

I sighed and stay there not wanting to make an appearance. I saw someone come over. He squatted down and I saw his gorgeous blue eyes. "I am sorry for leaving you knowing that you were hurting and that is not what a newly engaged man does," He said. "But I want to know why Sophie?" He asked me. "I just wanted to get rid of the a pain and the memories so I can be a new person for the man that I love and hold dear to my heart." I told him. He then picked me up and place me in his lap and hold me allowing me to cry on his shoulder. "I don't want a new person, I am here to help you pick up the pieces and make you a better person." He told me. "I want you and all your problems so I can help you fix them my love." He said and he moves a piece of hair out of my face. "I will help you get through this my love I promise you." He told me. I nodded and that is when I kissed him to no ends. I knew that Teddy was going to help me survive and live.
