Chapter 10 - Sophie

I woke up to the sound of rain hitting the window. I looked at my phone to fine out what time it was and saw I had to messages. One from Cecily making sure i remember about the party tonight. I groaned thinking about it. I didn't really want to go but Cece was really excited so I promised I would come.

The second text was from Gideon, 'morning baby.'

I smiled at my phone before replying to both of them.

Gideon

I heard my phone deep and saw a text from Sophie. I chuckled to myself. Sophie wasn't a morning person so 10am was early for her.

'Morning. x'

I was just about to reply when my phone started ringing.

"Hey Soph."

"Hey" she said sleepily

"Are you going to the party tonight?" I asked.

I heard her groan, "yeah but I really don't want too."

"Why?"

"I don't know i just don't really like big crowds."

"I can stay with you if you want." I told her.

"Yes please." She replied with her cute sleepy voice.

"Okay."

"Mm Gideon?"

"Yeah?"

"How did you know it was me you danced with? I mean I don't mind like otherwise you wouldn't be my boyfriend, I'm just wondering."

I smiled, "Will told me."

"How did will know though?" I could hear the confusion in her voice.

"Well your best friends with his sister so I'm going to go with Cecily."

"Ohh."

"Although if Will hadn't told me I would of worked it out myself." I said proudly.

"Oh would you now?" I could tell she was pouting even though I couldn't see her.

"Your low expectations of my detective skills really hurt me." I said trying sound hurt.

She laughed. God her laugh was so beautiful, "I am so ever sorry Mr Lightwood I didn't mean to offend."

This time we both laughed.

"I should probably go, I'll see you at the party."

"Oh ok." I replied trying to not sound so upset. I could listen to her voice for hours.

"Bye." She said sweetly and hung up.

Tessa

When I got to the party I saw Sophie and Gideon walking to Emily's house.

Sophie was wearing a cute black play suit with small heels. She had her hair down so it was covering her scar. Gideon was wearing jeans and a simple T-shirt. Why was it so easy for boys to know what to wear. It look me at least half an hour to decide which dress look better and in the end I had to face time Cecily to get her advise. In the end we both decided that the light blue dress looked better.

"Hey guys." I called.

"Hey." They both replied.

They looked so sweet together.

We walked into together and started to push our way though the crowd to get a drink.

I looked around trying to find some people I know. Emily moved to St. Edwards a year ago so the party has people from her old school from.

Finally I saw familiar blue eyes that could only belong to Will. I looked next to him and found he was talking to a girl.

Suddenly I felt very jealous. It's not like he's my boyfriend I shouldn't be jealous but seeing him with another girl made me realise I wanted him to be my boyfriend.

What was wrong with me, since when did I like Will?

3 hours later - Will

I was dancing with a girl, whose name I couldn't even remember, when I saw Tessa talking to a guy from Willow high.

I walked over there to see if she was ok. I remember Cecily telling me she didn't drink much.

"Hey Tess." I said once I reached her.

"Oh hey Will." She said clearly disappointed that I interrupted.

She started swaying.

"I think we better go, nice meeting you." I said taking hold of Tessa's hand.

We started to walk to the door but Tessa stopped walking and pulled on my hand.

"I want to stay." She said pouting.

"Come on Tessa, your drunk."

"I am not." She pulled her hand out of mine and put her hands on her hips.

"Please Tess."

She smiled sweeting, "okayy but only your youuu." She pointed her finger at me.

We continued walking to the door but Tessa kept tripping so I had to put my arm around her waist.

Once we were outside i waited for a taxi.

A taxi pulled up and I put Tessa in the car.

"Tessa stop moving." I said whilst trying to put her seat belt on.

When we got to our penthouse I paid the taxi and picked Tessa up.

"Mm I'm tired." She said.

"Well you can sleep soon." I told her.

Once we got to my bedroom I placed Tessa on the bed and got a shirt for her to wear out. She went into the bathroom to change and when she came out I country help but stare. The shirt went down to her mid thigh and was hanging of one shoulder.

"Why are you starring at me William." She said laughing.

"Umm I'm not." I said looking away.

She came over, pulled the covers back and climbed into bed.

I went over to her and kissed her forehead, "goodnight Tessa."

I turned to walk to the door and go to one of the spare rooms but Tessa grabbed hold of my wist.

"Where are you going?" She said confused.

"To the spare room."

"But you can just stay with me." She pouted.

I sighed, normally I would love to sleep in the same bed as Tessa and just hold her but right now she was very drunk.

"Please." She gave me puppy dog eyes and I couldn't say no. I went over to the other side of the bed, took my jeans and t-shirt of and climbed into bed.

"Will?"

"Yes?"

"I'm cold."

Suddenly I didn't cares that she was drunk. I put my arm around her waist and pulled her closer.

She snuggled into me.

"Better?" I whispered.

"Much."

Gideon

I was getting drinks for Soph and I when I saw her run out of the room. I followed her until she stopped in a room with no people in.

I saw her sitting on the sofa.

"Soph what's wrong?"

When I sat next to her she turned her head and I saw she was crying.

"Sophie what happened."

Instead of replying she just through herself into my arms.

I rubbed her back and made shushing noises every so often.

Finally she pulled back and I wiped her tears away.

"What's wrong?"

"I just don't like people staring at me." She sniffed.

"I also don't like people talking about me behind my back." She said quietly.

"What did they say?"

"Well they mostly stared but this girl said that your only going out with me because you feel sorry for me." She said looking down.

"You don't believe that do you."

She didn't say anything.

I put my hand under her chin so she would look at me.

"Sophie Collins I love you."

Her eyes went wide but I continued, " I love you because your the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I love you because your so thoughtful and kind. You always put others before yourself. I love how when you smile you get dimples right here -

I put my fingers where she gets her dimples and she smiled.

"And when you laugh it's the most beautiful sound I have ever heard. I love how stubborn you are. I love how you when you get up before you want to your grumpy -

She laughed.

"I love you so much Sophie!"

"I love you too Gideon."
