this a Will/Syd!!! Thanks so much to Allison h. on this chapter!
Chapter 16
Sydney pushed Will away and stood up. She couldn't believe it. She followed her first instinct. Will received a slap across the face that stung badly and left a red mark on his cheek.
"What the hell are you doing Will!" Sydney started crying. Francie walked in and looked at Sydney. From the look on Will's face and what she had heard, she knew what had happened. She took Sydney in her arms and rocked her back and forth.
"Shhh. It's ok baby. Don't worry. Everything's all right." Francie shot a menacing look at Will, whose mouth was still hanging open in shock. Sydney slid out of Francie's reach and shouted at Will.
"Don't you understand that I don't think of you in that way! You have no chance with me Will!" She sobbed as Francie continued to soothe her. Now that Vaughn was in her life, this felt so wrong. 'How dare he even try to make a move on me now that he knows everything I go through!' she continued sobbing as Francie pulled her into her bedroom and shot Will another menacing look as she closed the door.
"Honey, it's ok. Don't cry." Francie could tell that there had to be another reason that Sydney had launched into breakdown mode. Will had tried this before and she had not gone crazy like this time. It had to have been something else that affected her as well. The phone rang.
"I'll be right back sweetie." Francie picked up the phone as Sydney sobbed face down on her bed.
"Joey's Pizza?" Vaughn's voice was heard on the other end of the phone.
"I'm sorry, but you have the wrong number." Francie was about to hang up when she heard Vaughn say something.
"Wait."
"What now?" she rolled her eyes, but Vaughn had heard Sydney crying and wouldn't put the phone down until he talked to her.
"Is that Sydney crying?" He asked Francie, his voice filled with worry.
"Uh…" Francie was unsure of what to say.
"Tell me NOW!" Vaughn was desperate.
"Yes, it is." Francie couldn't understand how this stranger could have possibly known.
" Let me talk to her, now please." Francie looked confused as she handed the phone to Sydney."
"He… hello?" Sydney spoke in-between sobs. Francie could hear the man on the other end.
"Syd, sweetie, are you ok? What's wrong babe?" he tried to make Sydney laugh and succeeded as he heard a giggle that ended in another sob.
"Syd, you can tell me. You know that. What's wrong?" Vaughn was worried that something had happened to her.
"Oh, Vaughn! I … I …" but she couldn't go on and broke into more sobs.
"It's ok Syd, tell me what's wrong." Sydney tried to tell Vaughn, but she couldn't get the words out. Vaughn couldn't think of anything else to do.
"Do you want me to come over, Syd?" he asked, hoping that she would say yes.
"Cou… Could you… please?" Sydney continued sobbing, but calmed down a little when Vaughn asked her if she wanted him there.
"I'll be there in a couple of minutes."
"O…ok…" Sydney hesitated to say this in front of Francie, but she just didn't care, "I … I love you." Francie's mouth dropped wide open and she stared in shock as she heard the man on the other end reply.
" I love you too Syd, I'll be right there." Sydney hung up. She turned and saw Will at the door. He had heard everything.
Will knew he had done something stupid that he couldn't take back now. 'How could I have been such and idiot!?!?' He had been surprised at Sydney's strength when she slapped him, but then he remembered her job. 'She must be under so much stress.' He thought desperately, but when he heard Sydney on the phone he knew that that wasn't the only reason she had gotten so upset.
So there was someone else. Will was shocked. Sydney loved him, whoever he was. And then Will remembered, Sydney had called the guy Vaughn. Why did that name sound so familiar, a look of pure jealousy swept across Will's face. Vaughn was… well; Vaughn was the guy from work. Will threw himself onto the couch and put his head in his hands. ' How could I have been so stupid. When Francie told me about the cologne, I should have known.'
A/N: So, what'd you think? Please review and tell me! Hoped you liked the chap! Sorry it's kinda short but I was very busy today and didn't have much time! Please keep reviewing! It makes me so happy!
