Hi, i'm Sophie And i'm a Sianaholic Chapter 7, a coronation street fanfic

Evening all.

Been a long time since I saw you guys last. Almost 3 weeks.

Jesus. O_O

I really didn't mean for this update to take so long, but a long string of events occurred and I just got caught up in it.

First I was sick, then I was told I had a presentation to do and with work and all m other stuff for Uni, I just had a pile of things to do.

But, tomorrow is presentation day, so that'll be out of the way at least.

And, I guess you now have a romantic fiction chapter to read on Valentine's Day.

Personally, I think I had the worst day of my life today.

Every single thing that could have gone wrong for me, did.

I somehow managed to get this finished though.

I was planning on making this 2 chapters, for suspense and all that jazz, but when I eventually got around to writing the end of the first update, it had been so long since my last one. So, I decided to put them together, not really sure if it works, probably would have been better split up, but since you guys have been so patient waiting for this, I thought i'd be nice for once, and put them into one extra long chapter.

It is seriously long. Like, 5000 freaking words, it's crazy.

The time skip, simply because I wanted to write this, but couldn't wait.

Please, please, please enjoy this, because if you don't well, all my hard work spent finishing this as quickly but as best as possible, will have all been for nothing.

As always, please review, let me know what you think, and if you have any ideas, i'd love to hear them, i'm always open to suggestions.

Oh, and if you liked the time keeping and POV changes, why not let me know? I just thought i'd try it out, since it went well with my idea for this chapter!

Next update... Fingers crossed for soon?

But, for now... Adios muchachos!

4 months later.

"Sian?" I said nudging her slightly.

"…mmhmhmhmpppm" I didn't know what that meant, but clearly, she was still half asleep.

"Wake up babe!" I said excitedly.

"Whaaa? Waaaa's goooin on?" She turned around and rubbed her eyes before looking up at me, her big blue eyes slightly glistening from the irritation. I could get caught up in those eyes forever.

"Do you know what today is?" I said, smiling widely.

"… Obviously I know what today is Sophie, what do you take me for?" She said raising her eyebrows at me in annoyance, before getting a confused look on her face.

"Wait… What's today?"

I can't believe she doesn't know what day it is!

Clearly my frustration was written all over my face because Sian burst out laughing.

"What? What's so funny?" I said in a serious slightly aggressive tone.

"I was just kidding Soph, how could I forget what today is? After all, you have been repeating it every day, five times a day, for the past two weeks."

I frowned at her. I know I could be a bit over the top when I got excited about things, especially silly things, like today for example. But she didn't have to laugh at me EVERY time I went a little crazy-bag-lady on her.

"Awh baby you'll get frown lines doing that. Where did aggressive Sophie go, she was here just a minute ago…" She trailed as she moved closer to me, her lips pressing mine lightly, "I like it when forceful Sophie comes out… she makes me really, really hor…" I put my finger to her lips before she could finish her sentence, and leaned in to whisper in her ear.

"And you know I like it when naughty Sian comes out… but I'm already excited about today, and if you start making me think naughty thoughts, I'm not gonna be able to control myself"

"… Well, that's the plan." She whispered back as she kissed my jaw, moving down to my neck and back up to my ear slowly. I ran my hands up her sides and under her vest top slightly, moving it up slowly, and as I was about to take it off I jumped up quickly and ran out of the room.

"You're such a tease!" I heard Sian yelling after me.

I hope mum didn't hear that.

-XXXX-

"So, what are we doing tonight then?" Sian asked as she pulled a t shirt on, she always waited until we were both out of the shower to get dressed, which was both good and bad. Good because she's beautiful and I love admiring her body. Bad because she knows it and uses it against me to try and coax me into bed. It kind of seems as if she's trying to pressure me but she's not, she's just flirting and well, being a big tease.

"It's a surprise." I said smiling at her.

"… Did you plan something?" She asked sounding genuinely surprised that I would do that.

"Yeah… I thought you would have figured as much considering I've been talking about today every day, five times a day, for the past two weeks." I said as I raised my eyebrows at her and smirked cheekily, quite proud of myself for using her words against her so wittily.

"Ha. Ha. HA. You're hilarious" She said coming over and playfully shoving me. I grabbed her arm and pulled her into an embrace, holding her close to me.

"I'm so glad I'll be going into the New Year with you by my side" I whispered so quietly but we were so close I was sure she would hear me.

"Yeah? Well, I wouldn't have it any other way." She looked at me and smiled, before giving me a gentle but loving kiss. "I love you." She leaned her forehead against mine.

"I love you too."

-XXXX-

"Sian? Are you ready to go?" I said, pacing downstairs waiting.

"I'll be down in a minute; I'm just getting my bag!" She said.

"Well, you'd better hurry or we'll miss the bus!" I said looking out the living room window, trying to see if it had come yet.

"Well, it's a good job I'm ready then isn't it" she said, her voice coming from right behind me. I turned to look at her.

She was stunning. I slowly looked her up and down, taking in every inch of her as I studied every beautiful detail. She was wearing a short strapless dress, it was dark red and had a piece of black ribbon tied in a bow to the side, although it was a short gown it was so elegant, with the addition of being able to see her toned legs.

"Soph? You're drooling" She said with a small smile tugging at her lips. I snapped out of my trance and looked up at her.

"Sorry… you just... you look so beautiful." I said moving closer to her, wrapping my arms around her waist and kissing her.

"Thanks, but… I thought we were going to be late?" I couldn't help but stare at her luscious lips and breasts. My mind was officially in the gutter.

"Hmmm?"

"Oh… fuu… sugar puffs! We gotta go, quickly!" I grabbed her hand and pulled her out the door, before yelling to my mum that we were leaving.

Luckily, we just caught the bus in time and chose a seat near the back.

"So are you going to tell me where we're going now?"

"No way, I already told you, it's a surprise."

"But I hate not knowing things! How far away is it?"

"Not too far, just a little bit longer on here and then you'll see."

We sat on the bus for another few minutes before we got off and headed down King Street.

"Soph where are we go….." Sian stopped talking as she seen where we had stopped.

"San Rocco?" she said, beaming in excitement.

"Yep, San Rocco."

"But how? How did you know?"

"That it's your favourite restaurant? You told me a few years ago. I was saying something about how I loved Italian food, and you got excited and raved about this place for a good five minutes before telling me that you would take me there some day and show me, well now's your chance." I said smiling and taking her hand.

"I… I can't believe you remembered that…" she took my hand, her eyes watering as if she was on the verge of tears.

"Come on, let's go." We entered together and the smell hit us almost immediately, it was fantastic, a mix of herbs along with fresh bread being baked in the oven.

"Hi, table for 2 for Webster."

"Right this way." The waiter smiled and showed us to our seats.

"Here are some menus, I'll give you a few minutes to decide but would you like to order some drinks in the meantime?"

"That would be great; we'll get a bottle of wine."

"Okay which would you like?"

"We'll take your finest white, please" I said confidently, I wasn't much of a wine drinker but I tried my best to sound like I knew what the bloody hell I was talking about.

"A whole bottle of wine?" Sian said, laughing slightly.

"Well, I'm going all out, this is a special occasion." I said, smiling at her.

"Okay, here we are" Said the waiter as he placed the bottle and two glasses on the table. "Okay, my name is John just take your time and call if you need anything" He left and went about clearing plates off the tables next to ours.

"He's really friendly" I said.

"Yeah, everyone here is. I've never seen him before, he must be new. I really love this place. Thank you so much Soph." She said honestly, reaching over and taking my hand.

"For what silly? All I did was make a reservation." I said, entwining our fingers.

"Thank you for remembering. Thank you for being so thoughtful. And thanks for just being you." She leaned over and gave me a long kiss, before sitting down in her seat.

"Sorry to interrupt…" We heard the voice of our waiter who was smiling kindly at us.

"Oh, sorry…"

"No need to apologise, it's so nice to see a couple who look really in love. Makes you feel like you shouldn't give up hope. Anyway, have you decided what you would like?"

"Yeah, I'll have the spaghetti arrabiata."

"I'll have the pasta carbonara, please"

"Okay great choices, that'll be about 20 minutes."

"Great, thank you."

-XXXX-

"Hard to believe isn't it?" Sian stated, as we tucked into our dessert.

"What?" I asked.

I heard a loud noise coming from my bag, so I pulled out my phone to see my sister Rosie's name pop up on the screen.

"Who is it?"

"Just Rosie, doesn't matter." She knows I'm on a date; she can be dead thick sometimes… "Sorry babe, what were you saying?"

"Just that it's crazy how much things can change in a year. This time last year, we were still in school, I was still with Ryan, and me and you… well…"

"Yeah… I guess you're right. Do you miss him?"

"I used to… not so much since I fell in love with you, but sometimes I still do, we were together for a long time, you know? He was a big part of my life, so I guess it's only natural to miss him. It doesn't matter anyway, though. He left me, he knew I loved him and he left anyway, he obviously didn't care about us. He never even took me into consideration when he decided to leave."

"You know what?" I said, taking both of her hands.

"…What?"

"It's 9pm."

"That's nice? There's a clock right behind your head Soph, I know what time it is." She said giggling.

"No, I mean, it's 9pm. Which means that, in 3 hours, it'll be the New Year, and you know what that means don't you?"

"… Em, it means you can't make the stupid joke 'see you next year' for another 12 months?"

"Well… yes, that too. But, it means that when that clock hits 12, all that's important is what you make of the New Year. The last one is in the past, the only thing that matters at that moment, is that you're with people that you love, and that you make sure you make the upcoming year the best you possibly can."

"As long as I'm with you, nothing can make this year bad. I love you so much Soph, nothing will ever change that."

"I love you too. Now let's finish this, we have a bus to catch."

-XXXX-

10: 15 pm

"Where are you taking me now?" Sian asked as I began walking in the opposite direction to my house.

"You'll see." I said grinning at her.

"No fair! I don't like not knowing things." Sian whined.

A few minutes later, we reached our destination.

"My house? That's the big secret? Not to sound ungrateful or anything Soph, but that's a bit of a let-down considering what the first surprise was." Sian said raising an eyebrow at me.

"Well, I guess I just didn't want the end of the night to be memorable. Now, get your keys out, I can't walk through glass you know." I said sarcastically, trying to hold in my laughter. Sian just rolled her eyes at me before unlocking the door and opening it. She put her hand against the wall searching for the light switch, and as she found it and flicked it on, the whole street jumped up and shouted "surprise!"

"What was that about your house being a 'let-down'?" I said, grinning cheekily at her.

"Come here you!" Sian squeaked, before pulling me into a tight embrace, letting go reluctantly when she remembered the entire street was in the same room.

"I can't believe this, what is this for?" Sian asked, still shocked by what was happening.

"It's a New Year's party. Every year, everyone just goes to the pub and drinks too much, and someone ends up locking themselves in the toilet. It's always messy and this year, I thought that it would be nice if we had a party, so I asked your dad if he wouldn't mind us having it here, as sort of a surprise for you and stuff. I told everyone from school and stuff and your dad kind of sorted out the rest, like the adults, and old friends from Southport."

"Oh my god, this is amazing Soph, thank you so much." Sian pulled me in for another quick hug before I felt someone tugging my arm.

"Sophie, I need to talk to you, like RIGHT now babe, it's a total emergency." Rosie said, her forehead scrunched up so I knew something was bothering her.

"Sian, I'll be back in a minute, okay?"

"Sure, I'll be here" She said, smiling her brilliant smile at me.

Rosie yanked me by my arm to a corner in the room.

"Jesus Rosie, what's your problem?" I asked noticing a red mark on my arm where her death grip was.

"Why the hell didn't you answer your phone? I was trying to call you for like an hour!" She said, clearly quite stressed.

"Because I was having a nice dinner with my girl… My best friend!" I said, trying not to make my mistake obvious, although I wasn't too worried since Rosie never notices anything other than her make-up.

"Did you just call Sian your girlfriend?" Rosie said her mouth wide open in shock.

"What? No! I… I just… what I meant was…" I couldn't control my stuttering and I knew I was busted.

"Since when are you gay! Wait! I need to focus here! I need to tell you something right now because you wouldn't answer your phone, and now I know you and Sian are together, this concerns you even more."

"Okay… What is it?"

"I don't know how it happened, it shouldn't even be possible, and since when does the army ever come back to England? They never do, right? I mean, I know I don't know a whole lot about them, but I'm pretty sure…"

"Rosie! What are you going on about?" I yelled, getting very frustrated with my moronic sister.

"… It's Ryan. He's back." She said, quietly this time, it was like it wasn't even her saying it.

"… What?" I said, falling back on the couch that was behind me.

"… Where? Where is he? I need to see Sian. Now." I didn't know what was spurring me on, or how I was even walking since I couldn't feel my legs.

"Hang on! Sophie! Wait, please!" Rosie yelled, but I ignored her. I needed to see Sian. I needed to tell her. I walked over to where she was in the middle of the living room as quickly as I could, and gently put my hand on her shoulder. At least, I hoped it was gently, but since I could feel my legs, I was in no position to judge weights right now.

"Sian, I need to talk to you, it's about…" just then, I looked up and saw my worst nightmare. It was him.

Helmet head.

"Soph? What is it?" She said as she turned around to see what I was staring at.

"Oh my god…" She said, more emotionally than I could have ever imagined.

"Hi Sian" he said as he smiled at her.

Oh Sophie my dear, you are screwed.

-XXXX-

11:21p.m

So that makes it… one hour and one minute since Sian had first noticed Ryan, and all I can do is sit here and stare at them. How could this have happened? Why was he even here? Is he staying? Oh my god, did he come back for her? She's gonna leave me.

After finishing my… I can't even remember how many vodkas I'd had, but I was pretty sure I was far beyond sober, I decided I needed to go and get her. Rosie who was sitting beside me, had noticed and quickly grabbed my arm

"Soph, you can't go over there!" she said in my ear.

"She's my girlfriend I can do whatever I want to do when it comes to her!" I said, yelling at her and walking towards Sian and Ryan.

They're holding hands. Great.

"Sian… I need to talk to you for a second." I slurred, trying my best to hold myself up straight. I looked at Ryan; he wasn't looking me in the eye. Well, he was currently stealing my girlfriend, so I can't say I blame him.

"Soph, I'm kind of in the middle of something here… can it wait until tomorrow?"

Oh hell no.

"Tomorrow? So what, you don't plan on talking to me at all for the rest of the entire night? I don't get to spend the last hour of this year with you?" I said, the irritation in my voice becoming more prominent as every word spat through my lips.

"Soph, I'm talking to Ryan, this is important, I need some time with him, okay?" She was speaking calmly, and I wasn't sure if it was for Ryan's sake or mine.

"No, Sian. It's not okay. I know you love each other, and I know it's been a long time since you've seen each other, but that doesn't give you the right to blow me off. I spent weeks planning this whole thing because you're my best friend, because I love you, and because I just want to make you happy. This night was really important to me, and you know for a minute earlier, I thought it was important to you to." It wasn't anger that was building up inside me. It was tears. I turned around and grabbed my stuff that was on the chair next to them. "Clearly, you have more important things in your life. He has always been it, and I always knew that, I don't know who I was trying to kid, thinking I could ever measure up to that. I know I'm not wanted, so I'll just get out of your way."

With that, I threw my coat on and ran out of her house as fast as I could.

-XXXX-

Sian's POV

10:21pm

"Ryan?" It couldn't be him. It's not possible.

"It's me alright." He said smiling.

"Well, are you gonna give me a hug or are you just gonna stand there?" He said, pulling me into a tight hug.

It really was him. I couldn't help but smile, and wrapped my arms around his neck tightly. I closed my eyes and took it all in, trying to convince myself it was real, and I opened my eyes just in time to see Sophie's face drop, heartbroken, as she walked away.

10:40pm

"I just can't believe you're here." I said, as we sat down on the two seater couch in my living room.

"Well, I've done a year. So now I'm allowed take a year out for myself, decided if it's still for me when I go back." He said, handing me a drink.

"Ryan… Why did you leave like that?" I looked straight at him.

"Because I knew what you would say. I knew you would tell me that you would come with me, wherever I went and for however long I needed to stay there."

"Yeah… I probably would have."

"Exactly, and that's not fair. You were still in school, and it was something that I just needed to do. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I had let you come with me, it wasn't an easy decision to make, but I had to do it for me, and that's the same reason I never said goodbye, because you had to finish school and live your life for you, if I had stayed to say goodbye, either I wouldn't have left, or I would have taken you with me. I know it wasn't the right thing to do, and I'm sorry I left without saying goodbye, but I don't regret it. Because, now you're in college and really happy, and I didn't take that away from you."

"How do you know I'm happy?"

"Because I know you Sian. There's something different about you."

"No there isn't, I'm still the same Sian you knew a year ago."

"No, I don't mean you've changed, I just mean, something has changed that's making you this happy."

"Yeah…" I said smiling. But it wasn't him I was smiling at, it was Sophie. She was the one that was making me this happy, and now she's sitting over there, by herself, looking so hurt, because of me. "I guess I am."

11:20pm

"Sian, I know I've been gone for a while… and I know your life is different… but… I still love you."

"Ryan… you're so sweet, but I…"

"But…"

"But… I'm seeing someone else. After everything they've done for me and gone through for me, I owe everything to them," I looked over at Sophie, "and I love her." It slipped out before I even realised what I had said.

"Did you just say 'her'?" Ryan asked, staring at me intently.

"… Yes, I did. I'm in love with a girl. I'm in love with Sophie." Saying that out loud immediately brought a smile to my face.

"I… I just…"

"Ryan, I love you too. You are such an important part of my life, and I don't know what I would do without you… but, Sophie is the only one for me, and she's the most important thing in my life."

"I'm happy for you Sian… you deserve to be happy. I wish it was with me, but it's my own fault for leaving you." He said, looking down, disappointment written all over his face.

"Ryan…" I said as I took his hand in mine, giving it a reassuring squeeze, as I smiled at him.

"Sian… I need to talk to you for a second." Sophie slurred, clearly after drinking too much. She looked at Ryan, who couldn't bring himself to look at her. Well, he had just found out that she was my girlfriend; I can't say I blame him.

"Soph, I'm kind of in the middle of something here… can it wait until tomorrow?" I said, not wanting to leave Ryan after dropping a bombshell like that.

"Tomorrow? So what, you don't plan on talking to me at all for the rest of the entire night? I don't get to spend the last hour of this year with you?" She spat, and I could hear the anger boiling up in her voice as it grew louder.

"Soph, I'm talking to Ryan, this is important, I need some time with him, okay?" I said calmly, I didn't want to start a fight with her; usually talking to her like this keeps her calm and rational.

With that, she threw her coat on and ran out my front door.

-XXXX-

Sophie's POV

11:33pm

I ran through my front door. I couldn't stop crying.

She chose him. I spilled my heart out to her and she still chose him.

I ran up the stairs and slammed my door shut, although it was pointless, since my whole family were still at the party.

By now I was completely sober. Being dumped will do that to you I guess. I can't believe I lost her. We had only just gotten started, and I ruined it. I heard my phone chime.

Bit early for New Year's messages dumb ass.

It wasn't a New Year's message.

It was from Sian.

Where are you?

We need to talk.

Please come back.

Sian. X

Yeah right…

My phone chimed again.

Sophie.

Please.

I love you.

Sian. X

"I love you too."

Come on Sophie, you two have been through too much to just give up.

Fight for her.

-XXXX-

Sian's POV

11:45pm

"Where are you Sophie? Look, I know what you saw but it's not what you think, please, I need to talk to you. Call me back." I said, leaving her yet another message on her voicemail. I had ran up and down Coronation Street twice already and no sign of her, no sign in the Rovers, no sign in the chippy, and no sign in her house.

I sat down on the ledge outside Dev's shop.

I'm gonna be alone on New Year's, great.

Where the hell are you Soph?

Sophie's POV

11:52pm

"Rosie, where is Sian?" I said breathlessly, having ran from my house back to Sian's.

"She left."

"What do you mean she left?"

"When you stormed out, I heard her tell Ryan she was sorry. And then, she grabbed her coat and left."

"Sorry? For what? Did she say where she was going?"

"Well, he looked pretty upset so I'm guessing she told him that she was seeing you. Since all he kept saying earlier was that he was so excited to see her and tell her he was back, and that he loves her. She didn't say, but I'm guessing she left to go find you."

"I need to find her." I said looking around.

"Wait… what time is it?"

"Eh, it's like 5 to?"

"Oh my god! I have to go!"

And for the second time that night I ran out of Sian's house.

Sian's POV

11:58pm

"Just 2 more minutes" I said to myself, taking a drink.

Here's to another crappy year.

Sophie's POV

11:59pm

"Sian!" I yelled, desperately hoping for a reply. Although, the fireworks had begun to go so I doubted she would hear me.

I got back to my house, hoping she would be there.

But, No luck.

No… I promised her.

I looked up, and saw her sitting outside the shop, and with everything left in me, I yelled out her name.

Sian's POV

I snapped my head up quickly, upon hearing my name being called out.

It was her.

"Sophie…" I whispered.

Everything began moving quickly, and before I knew it, I was running to her.

Sophie's POV

I can hear the faint sound of a countdown, coming from somewhere nearby, and I knew I had to make this count.

I see her running toward me, and I start running too.

Almost there.

So close,

The sky lights up in a rainbow of colours as our lips crashed together in a heated kiss and I tangle my hands in her hair as she puts her hands on my back and pulls me into her.

I need her, and she needs me too. This is real. This is forever.

I pull away reluctantly as I open my eyes slowly, trying to make this moment last.

"I love you so much" she whispers, and I feel my heart melt all over again, just like it did the first time she said those three words to me.

"I love you. I love you more than anything. I'm sorry for being stupid, I just, I need you and if I ever lost you I would die, I'm nothing without you, Sian." I said, holding onto her tightly.

"Ssssh… it doesn't matter now, all that matters is that we're together. You're never gonna lose me babe, you're my all." She said as she rubbed her nose against mine.

"But… we are in the middle of the street again, so we should probably continue this in a less public place." She laughed.

"Okay…" it was a reluctant reply, but I knew she was right.

"Come one, let's go back to the party, everyone is probably wondering where we are."

"Or…" I said, seductively, lowering my hands on her back and pulling her against me.

"We could go back to my place…" I whispered in her ear, before placing light kisses along her jaw and moving down her neck. I hear her groan in my ear and tighten her grip on my hair as she pulled me into her.

"Sophie…" she moans as I move lower down her body, her moaning in my ear turning me on more and more as I kiss down her chest.

"Soph… wait…" she says as she pulls me up to look at her.

"We just made up, and I'm feeling this as much as you are… but I don't want us to do something we'll regret just because it was in the heat of the moment."

"… You're probably right… Okay, we should go back to the party… You might not be as tempting when I can distract myself with talking to other people." I said, before placing one last kiss on her lips.

"My hotness conquers all you know." She said grinning at me cheekily.

"Oh, believe me, I know…" I said while I lowered my hand on her back.

"We better hurry though; my will power is running out."
