Chapter 31

Sian pov

Omg no, Sophie leaving me alone with the redhead. I look at her pleading to stay, but she just kisses my forehead.

There has been an awkward silence for a couple minutes now when he finally clears his voice.

"So you're Sophie's friend right?" he asked.

"Girlfriend" I corrected as he started smiling. The same kind of smile Sophie gets when she's amused.

"Girlfriend it is. So it's serious then" he asked me.

"Yeah, I suppose" I mumbled, I felt like I was getting the 3rd degree by Sophie's ex.

"And you're okay with this" he said as I furrowed my brows.

"With what" I asked.

"With being a stepmom for example" he said as I widened my eyes." never really thought about what it would mean. A stepmom, Jesus I mean I'm seventeen I'm not ready to have a kid, and I way too young to be a stepmom." My mind was rambling.

"Suppose you didn't think about that ay" he smiled as I shook my head. "Look if you're gonna be in Sophie's life, you get Matty and possibly me too. It's a package deal" he laughed.

"Yeah I know I just didn't really have time to process it all…" I replied honestly.

"It's okay to freak out a bit." He stated. "Besides you love her right?" he asked as I nodded.

"And does Sophie tease you" he asked as I started frowning. "What has that got to do with anything" I thought.

"Yeah all the time" I said slowly as he started grinning.

"Then she loves you, it's a subtle and very weird way you can see how she feels" he said as we both started laughing.

"Yeah well then she must love me a lot cause she can be a right pain in the arse, but a lovely pain nevertheless" I smirked as we both burst out in laughter again.

"What's so funny" Sophie said as she as she sat down.

"Nothing" I couldn't hold in my laughter and neither could he. She started shaking her head playfully.

"Whatever he says, don't believe a word" she stated.

"Don't worry, it's all good" I said as I pecked her lips. As Sophie started chatting with Chesney, Matty caught my attention. I gulped at his stare; he had Sophie's piercing blue eyes that could look right through you. I smiled a little. 'It's a package deal' kept echoing in my head. I frowned a little; I suppose it'll take time to adjust to this.

….

"Come on Sian let's leave these people in peace and talk ay" my dad said sternly.

"So your psychiatrist tells me you're getting out in 2 weeks" he stated as I rolled my eyes.

"I have to try and live on my own for a while, but I still have to come back here to evaluate everything, so I'm not really getting out" I stated as he started sighing.

"No need for the attitude Sian, I was only trying to make conversation" he said as I scoffed at him.

"Look I just wanted to know where you were planning to live" he asked.

"Not with you" I snapped.

"With whom then" he asked angrily.

"On my own like I did before" I stated. I was really getting annoyed.

"We both know how that turned out, that's the whole reason you ended up here. After you got out the hospital you were…" he started saying but I cut him off.

"My behavior was understandable" I stated. "Besides I already talked about that with my doctor and he thinks it's a great idea that I go and live on my own so….. if that's it you came here for, you can go now" I spat gliding back into my chair.

"Sian you need a support system even if you live on your own. Your mum and I live in Southport, the places there aren't cheap" he stated.

"Live near you? What for? To have daily fights and lectures. No thank you" I snarled.

"Sian, they won't let you out if you don't have a support system" he said, he was starting to get worked up.

"And who says I don't" I snapped at him.

"You know what Sian, do whatever you like I don't want to have you around us anymore" he stated.

"Fine by me, it's nothing I haven't heard before" I yelled at him as I saw the room gazing at me. Sophie was looking worried; I couldn't handle it anymore I had to get out of there.

…

As I started to wake up I felt someone wrap their arms around my from behind.

"Sophie" I said as I recognized her smell. She kissed my shoulder.

"I saw what happened before, are you okay" she asked me, whispering in my ear.

"Yeah, just another jolly conversation with my dead" I groaned.

"I'm sorry baby, I wish it were different" she stated as I turned around. I couldn't make out her face as it was still very dark in the room. I tried to kiss her lips but ended up kissing her eye. She started chuckling.

"You sense of direction is shit in the dark babe" she chuckled.

"Sorry" I croaked out.

"Don't be" she said as she leaned in slowly and found my lips. They lightly brushed over mine as she pushed them harder onto me.

"Soph, I need to ask you something" I said to her.

"What is it" she said as she snuggled into me.

"Well firstly where you live, secondly if there any cheap apartments near you and thirdly how the hell did you get here without getting caught" I sniggered as she started chuckling.

"Well I live in Weather field, yes there are some apartments, and we all have our own ways of persuasion" she stated.

"What's that supposed to mean" I bemused.

"That's for me to know and me only" she said playfully.

"Tease" I stated.

"You know it" she said as she nudged me.

….

"Sian, I don't want you to live on your own" she whispered in my ear.

"Soph" I sighed.

"look, it was you who asked me to move in with you so all I'm doing is persuade you to take me up on your offer" she smirked.

"And how am I going to be living on my own, if you're there all the time. I wouldn't mind, but that's not how the treatment works." I stated

"All I'm asking is one week" she said as I snuggled into her.

"Babe" I laughed.

"Look Ches goes to work all day and so do I and I go to night school so…. You'll barely see me" she stated as she started pouting.

"I'm not gonna be able to say to no am I. All right one week" I said as I pecked her lips.

….

Sophie pov

I was woken up by someone leaving a trail of kissed in my neck. I started giggling.

"Stop that tickles" I stated as she started kissing her way up to my lips.

"Good morning" she whispered in my mouth right before she kissed me.

"Morning" I replied as we pulled out of the kiss. Sian kept staring at me with a stupid grin plastered on her face.

"What" I frowned.

"Nothing, just wondering what you're still doing here seeing as it is morning and all" she stated.

"Well since I'm leaving in a couple of days there's not much more they can do to me is there" I replied.

"No…. soo…" she started saying cheekily as she pulled up the hem of my top and started circling my bellybutton. I started smiling.

"What dyou doing" I asked as she kissed my neck.

"It's morning time you ladies get off your buts and join me at the tables" the posh twins sang as they did every morning.

"I see some things haven't changed around here" I sniggered. "I should go" I said as I kissed her one more time on the lips. She started sulking again.

"Babe don't" I said as I took her in my arms.

"I just want to spend as much time with you as I can, since your leaving me and all" she moped.

"Yeah and your coming a week later so" I smiled.

"It's great to see that my girlfriend's not that fussed over leaving me" she growled.

"Sian, I not leaving you. Why are you being like this, what's this really about" I asked annoyed.

She shrugged.

"Fuck sakes" I muttered as I got up.

"No wait Soph, please I don't want to fight" she pleaded as she blocked my way towards the door.

"Then don't" I huffed.

"You're right, I'm sorry" she said as she hugged me. I couldn't resist not hugging her back.

"Is about what happened yesterday with your dad" I asked her as she shrugged again.

"I dunno I'm just in a mood I think. I'm not good with mornings" she stated.

"Sian I know you're not a morning person, but you were awake before me. And you were fine before so… what's this really about ay" I said tenderly as I lifted her chin.

"I…" she was about to speak when Kathy barged in.

"Still not learned to knock ay Kathy" Sian moaned.

"Hey I see you're back on your feet, how ya feeling" I started saying as she was pushing me towards the closet.

"No time for this, Gertie is coming they noticed that you're gone on your floor so… quickly" she said as she gestured to the closet.

"And you want me to hide in the closet, if she thinks I'm here she'll look for me in the oblivious places" I stated.

"Then what do you wanna do" Kathy said as the door went open. "Shit" I thought.

"Aah well here you are Sophie, smell of the blue berry pancakes lead you here" she stated sarcastically. I didn't reply and neither did Sian.

"No I didn't think so" she stated angrily as she sighed.

"Well if you can't comply with the rules, then I suppose I'll have to give you some extracurricular activities" she stated.

"Look Gertie we just wanted to spend time with each other" I stated.

"Well you want to spend time together? Here's your chance, you can both do help Nurse Terrence with her gardening today and get up at 6am tomorrow to prepare breakfast" she declared.

I nodded as she stormed off. "Great" Sian huffed.

"Well you wanted to spend time with me" I sniggered.

"Yeah but I had other things in mind you know" she said wiggling her eyebrows.

"O gross" Kathy uttered as she got out of the room. "My ears…" I heard her shout as we both started laughing.

"Well I suppose I'll see you in the garden then" Sian said as she snaked her hands around my waist.

"Yeah, wonder what they'll make us do" I wondered.

"Don't worry Laura's pretty cool" she stated.

"Laura" I said as I narrowed my eyes.

"Nurse Terrence" she explained as I felt the green monster showing whispering in my ear.

"Oh so you're on first name bases now" I scowled as she started laughing.

"Babe, she's has got nothing on you. You have nothing to worry about" she stated as she pecked my lips.

"Suppose" I mumbled.

"Besides she's like 10 years older than me" she stated.

"What's your point" I asked.

"My point is I wouldn't go for someone that much older than me" she stated.

"So what if I were 10 years older than you" I replied.

"Well that's different" she said as she was struggling with her words

"How" I said as I raised an eyebrow.

"Well… I love you so" she stated.

"Admit it you find her hot" I smirked as she started to get more worked up.

"Okay yeah, but you're way hotter than her, I mean she doesn't even compare, not in a millions years…." She started ranting as I interrupted her by kissing her gently.

"I love you too" I breathed as she smiled at me.
