Opposites Always Attract

Chapter 47

Sophie blew out a sharp breath, shuffling a little closer to Sian as the blonde started to sob harder, "What happened?"

Flashback

"You're shagging Sophie Webster?" asked Tina, pointing her finger at Sian angrily and glaring at the blonde, "Have you any idea how fucking wrong that is Sian?"

"Wrong?" asked Sian incredulously, her temper quickly beginning to flare again, "What exactly is wrong with it?"

Tina stared back at her friend disbelievingly, "Are you joking? She's a complete bitch! She's arrogant for no good reason and does nothing but talk shit and walk around as if she's the greatest person in the world!"

"Oh that's rich coming from us don't you think?" asked Sian, "We were horrible to her and not just her but everyone else as well! We'd act like we owned that school and college and we would make people's lives hell ... I'm ashamed of the way we treated everyone!"

"And who was the one who started it all?" asked Tina, looking back at her friend expectantly, "Because as soon as Webster told everyone she was gay, you had a fucking field day taking the piss out of her. You were the one who told us all how disgusting it was and you were the one who instigated everything we did to her!"

Sian narrowed her eyes, "And if I could go back and change that I would!"

"But you can't Sian, you're just as bad as the rest of us ... only it seems that you've turned into a pathetic shell of your former self and let guilt take over you." shot back Tina., "Because the Sian I know would never sleep with Sophie Webster just because she felt bad about a few names in school."

Staring back at her friend in disbelief, Sian could feel her anger starting to reach boiling point, "You think that's what it is? I'm not one to sleep with someone out of guilt nor have I ever been ... I wanted to do it! I want her! And god knows I tried to stop myself and it's fucked with my head but I can't help it."

"Can't help it?" echoed Tina, "Well we're all helping it! I sure as hell haven't jumped into bed with her and I think I can vouch for Kerry on that one too."

Kerry shifted on the bed uncomfortably at having been brought into the argument, "I don't think that's the point Tina."

Turning to face the other girl, Tina eyed her friend up suspiciously, "Don't tell me you're on her side."

"Why do we have to take sides?" asked Kerry, "I've seen her and Sophie together and they really care about each other ... Why is that a bad thing? And why is it something we have to fight about?"

Sian managed a smile in Kerry's direction but it quickly vanished as Tina turned back to Sian and opened her mouth to speak again.

"Sian you can't do this!" blurted out Tina, "Think about what everyone's gonna say about you. You're gonna be in the same league as Webster a-"

"SOPHIE!" shouted Sian, unable to control her anger anymore as Tina continued to speak, "Her name is Sophie okay? And you have no idea what she's really like and you also have no right to speak about her like that!"

Flashback over ...

Sophie couldn't help but chuckle, "Sian you call me 'Webster' all the time."

"Yeah but ... it's different when I do it." muttered Sian, "She says it so condescendingly ... It's okay when someone like Sam or Katy says it and it's just a nickname or something."

"I guess ..." Sophie let out a sigh, resting her hand on top of Sian's and giving it a reassuring squeeze, "So what happened after that? Did you leave?"
