Final chapter :D

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

I never saw Sophie again after that summer. It was like a whirlwind though and we enjoyed it while we could. It was a mutual decision to break up, being that I was going off to University and all but we promised to keep in touch as friends. It had been such an amazing few weeks and had opened my eyes to more than what I'd had before. I don't think I'll ever forget my gorgeous goddess who'd I first laid eyes on in that lobby, nor forget the way she'd make me feel when she smiled or how her voice could make me feel so many things I was beyond-

Oh who am I kidding?

Me and Sophie have been together for ages now. Every since I met her back in August I know I've been smitten with her. It's December now and I told her I loved her for the first time last week. She did that cheeky little smile of hers and told me that it had taken me long enough. I bet you're wondering how it played out aren't you?

Well after we got back from Spain Sophie was there on the day I got my A levels. 2 As and a B. She'd squealed and kissed me over and over, telling me how proud she was. I was pretty proud too but my heart sank a little as I watched her and my mum exchange looks at the paper from across the room, both of them smiling from ear to ear. It meant I could get into Cardiff and would have to leave Sophie but I had a plan.

A little thing some genius thought up called a gap year. I knew some people advised against them but I knew what I wanted to do. I'm not stupid so I know that relationships come and go but me and Sophie were going strong and I had really fallen for this girl so I knew even if she did end it with me (note how I wasn't even going to think about ending it with her) I would want time to recover so a gap year would be lovely.

Cardiff were brilliant about it and told me that my place would stay for me until next year. Of course, I didn't tell Sophie this and just went on like usual. I knew that it was still playing on her mind because she'd go quiet sometimes. She also had a habit of getting a little sad when we'd stay up late and watch re-runs of Gavin and Stacey. I think it was the welsh accent...you should have seen her when we watched Torchwood.

It was only a week until I was supposedly leaving and I'd been telling Sophie that it wasn't good for her to come over because the house was a mess with all the boxes. It wasn't too difficult because Sophie and I only really got to see each other on weekends. It was hard but we pushed through it because that's what you do. You should have seen her face when I took her out for dinner and told her that I had taken the gap year. To say she was delighted was an understatement and god did we have a good night when we got home that night.

So here we are, sat on her mum's sofa, surrounded by the sound of laughter and festive lighting. We'd slept over at mine last night and my mum had dropped us off at Soph's for Christmas dinner. I knew my mum wouldn't be alone because she'd found herself a new fella!

Anyway, back to Sophie's. I'd even gone out of my way and brought Sally and Rosie presents and had been totally shocked when they'd brought me a present too. I'd given Sophie a necklace and bracelet combo and she'd brought me these gorgeous boots I'd seen back in November. I wouldn't have cared if she'd brought me nothing because being with her was enough. Sally seemed to have softened up and let Kevin, Sophie's dad, back into the house and now his little boy was tearing into his present. The look of delight on his face was something I missed so sorely.

We'd taken a trip to America earlier in the year because I had got a little lucky on a lottery ticket of mine. It had been amazing and I was able to celebrate Sophie's eighteenth in style. Well, we hadn't gone on the day of her birthday because of her families desire to be with her but had flown out on the fifth of November and stayed for a week and a half.

We'd gone to the area around New York and it had been so beautiful. New York hadn't been too bad either.

We hadn't stayed in any fancy hotel because I'd only won a couple of grand and had put some away for my life in the future. Sophie hadn't seemed to mind whether the bed was made of blinking gold. That girl's a star and hell of a person to be with in bed. It had been amazing and we'd soon realised that we loved holidays together so we've planned to go to New Zealand next year.

She's going to take a business course at the local college as well and I'm preparing for University but that's months away so there's no issue.

And yes, I know people might think it's stupid but it's crazy how hard I've fallen for this girl and if it goes well, maybe we can get a flat in Cardiff because I truly don't think I can bear to be away from her. I think even her parents know how badly I've fallen away from her because they must be getting annoyed with the sound of her chatting on the phone for hours at night.

And what's more is that I don't care what anyone thinks because I'm not going to say I like girls because I don't..I like this one girl: Sophie Webster and I can't even think about what would have happened if she'd not have come after me in that airport on that day because I know something in me wouldn't have been right.

I'm not young; I'm not stupid and wishing my life on something that will never happen; I'm not going to thrown this away and most of all I'm notgoing to blow all I've got right now on something stupid because life is about taking things as they come.

Sophie smiled beside me and moments later I felt her gentle lips on my jaw. "I love you," She whispered against my ear.

She's amazing. She's fucking amazing.

And you know what? If there's one thing I know when I look at her and think how far we've come it's that...

I'm glad I found my heart in Costa Blanca.

So there we have it you beautiful people! The final chapter. This was my first multi-chapter story and I would like to thank you all SO much for all your support, you've been amazing and have been what's kept me going. I don't think some people understand how much feedback can mean to someone and it means a load to me so I hope I did this final justice. I know it doesn't actually contain much but it's a happy ending and I know that's what everyone wants :D

My gratitude is to anyone who's ever read, commented or rated this fiction or any of mine and be sure to keep checking back for anything else I do :P

I feel like I'm doing an Oscar speech...I'd like to thank my mum and my dad- Oh dear, lord, Stop!

Not my best piece of work but to be honest...I need some stuff to just subside because of my school life and what not.

To put it easily: Thank you.

Simples.
