Unbridled romance

Chapter 8 Always a soft side

Sofia's POV-I didn't know what to do!—He wasn't letting me go!—The door opened.—HEY!!!—WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!! A familiar voice yelled.—He let me go.—I turned.—It wasn't who I thought it was.—I saw...Zoe!—She pulled me back, and got in front of me.—You think you can just kiss a girl just like that?—Huh?—....It's not funny!!!—GET. OUT!!! She yelled.—He walked out, quickly.—

I was shaking.—

Hugo's a POV-I can't find either of them! I said, as I walked back up to the rink.—Uh, Hugo?—I turned to see Zoe walking back up with Sofia who looked like she wanted to cry, her arm red.—What happened to you!? I exclaimed, she was breathing hard.—She just gave me a hug, as she started crying.—I hugged her back, but looked up at Zoe, and shot her a questioning look.—She just shook her head, then looked away.—I furrowed my eyebrows as I let Sofia go, took her hand gently, and lead her into the courtyard.—She seemed...awfully nervous which was unusual.—Sof...what happened? I asked, lifting her head up toward me.—J-.....Jake...k-k-kissed...m-me. She stammered, tears rushing down her face.—I looked at her, then at the floor, feeling my hand ball into a fist.--I'm sorry! She said, backing up, then turned to leave.—Sof....—I looked up...and...she was gone!--

"J.......-Jake kissed.....m-me."--Ugh!--I walked into the school building, and found Jake by the lockers.--Aye. I said.--He turned, I pushed him against the lockers, and punched him in his mouth.--I grabbed his hand before he could punch me back, and jammed my knee into his stomach.--He fell to the floor, against the lockers.--I bent down in front of him.--Touch Sofia again, and I'll make sure your in a hospital bed, for a month! I glared at him, before getting up, then walked off, to find Sofia.

I looked everywhere, and finally found her outside the bathroom door, crying, her face buried in her knees, she was shaking.—I walked up, and bent down next to her.—I lifted her head up towards me.—Sof...it was HIM not YOU!—But I'm sorry you're going through this! I said, running my thumb down her cheek.—She blushed, her light blue eyes, twinkling, but didn't smile.—Can't I get a smile? I said, in a playful tone, pressing my forehead against hers.—She buried her face in my shoulder.—You're fine! She said, clearly, trying not to giggle.—I wrapped my hands around her stomach, playfully.—A light grin appeared on her face, but I didn't stop.—I kissed her on her cheek, again, and again, her grin growing even more, every time.—She finally started giggling.—Her face turning red.—She cupped my face, and pushed me away, resting her head on my knee, sounding like she was dying of laughter.—I chuckled.—Though Sofia was tough to crack, I knew her too well!—I started moving my leg, looking at her mischievously.—Do what you want! She said, running her hand through her hair.—I grinned, and moved my leg.—Ow.—Hugo! She exclaimed, giggling as she punched me in my shoulder.—OW!—Bro, I was PLAYING!!! I exclaimed, pushing her off of me playfully, as she laughed.—

Nobody's POV-Sofia's smile lightened, but was still plastered onto her face.—She pulled her knees up to her chest and took Hugo's hand in hers.—He looked at her.—Hugo....I wanted to thank you.—He smiled at her.—You always know when I need you....you make me smile...and you know how to make me laugh...even at the worst of times—His smile faded, a wave of guilt rushing through him.—Sof.....you got hurt today.....you were scared....y-you started crying!—I hate seeing you like that.....but I don't know when you're in trouble either! I frowned.—She squeezed my hand.—Hugo, Zoe stopped him!—That's all that matters—What? I said, furrowing my eyebrows, locking my gaze with hers.—Z-Zoe stopped him.—He pulled me into a classroom, that's why no one could find us! She frowned, her eyes growing watery.--I took her hand, Hey, he won't bother you again. I said, winking at her.--She shot me a baffled look.

Hugo's POV-I chuckled.—"Z-Zoe stopped him."—My smile faded, my jaw tightening.--My phone buzzed, snapping me out of it.—"Hey." "Can you meet me in the back field?"—It was from Zoe.—I looked at Sofia, and stuck my phone into my pocket.—I chuckled as she pulled me up by my hand.—Listen, I'll see you later! I said, giving her a kiss on her cheek.—I smiled at her, walking off.—As I walked to the field, I looked around.—It was HUGE, with long unruly grass, and long sunflowers.—I saw her sitting in the grass.—I frowned, and walked up toward her.—She looked up, her face tear stained.—Her eyes red.—I took her hand, and helped her up.—Are you okay? I asked.—She wiped her face, but didn't answer.—Sofia...told me you helped her with Jack.—

Thank you for that.—I....don't know what he would've done if you hadn't stopped him. I said, greatfully.--She nodded, frowing.--I sighed.--Why'd we...have to grow apart, Zoe? I grimaced.--When I moved to CSS, me and Zoe were in the same class, I still remembered the day we moved, so clearly!

I scanned the class, as I walked out the room.--I went to my locker, and opened it.--I took out my bag, then turned, and bumped into someone.--I looked to see a girl I didn't recognize.--She dropped her bag.--"I'm sorry."--"I didn't see you!" I said, picking it up.--She shrugged, taking it back.--Its fine!--"People used to tell my grandfather he and his family would turn into a dwarf one day!"--"The mystery lives on!" She frowned......--She laughed.--S-Sorry, that was weird! She said, as I chuckled.--Aww. She said.--What? I asked.--Nothing, I just realized, I finally found a cute boy at this school! She said.--I laughed.....***

Zoe wasn't always like this.--She was so sweet when I met her, and really funny as well!--We got so close...but when we broke up...our relationship...fell apart!--She looked at me, Hugo...not all relationships are like you and Sofia!--People grow apart, people move on! She said.--I know....but you haven't...have you? I said.--Her face reddened, before trying to brush passed me.--I grabbed her arm.--I'm not teasing you!--And I'm NOT trying to embarass you....but you clearly wanna talk! I said, letting go.--N-No I don't! She frowned, looking away.--......Why'd you....tell me to meet you here, then? I asked.--I wanted to tell you...I'm sorry...for how I've been acting!--That was unacceptable.--I know that now!....You're right, I still....h-have feelings for you...but...we were NEVER gonna work out anyway! She said.--I...wanna be friends!--I miss you...Zoe.--Ever since we broke up...you haven't focused on anything else...or acted like YOU!--I can't be friends with you, knowing you're with someone else!--I'm sorry, Hugo! She said, walking passed me.--

It was weird.--I wanted to be friends with my ex.--But at the end of the day...she was still my girlfriend!--I didn't have feelings for her anymore...but I missed her!--
