It's been 2 weeks since Jack last spoke to Sophie, he misses her like crazy, he's tried calling daily and messaging her multiple times but she stopped replying completely.
He's lost without her and his friends have been noticing too. "Jacky boy you're really distracted today lad what's up?" John Stones asks him as Jack stares at his phone looking at a selfie him and Sophie took that evening he stayed. "Don't know lad. I just miss her and I don't even know what I did wrong" Jack says looking down. And the other lads know Jacks never like this about a girl so she must be special. "We've got a week break now mate, and the party with the England lads tonight. Try and relax and enjoy tonight, take your mind off it" Phil adds in while patting Jacks shoulder. Jack nods and knows that no party is going to take her off his mind. He's fallen for her and never got to tell her.
It's 8pm and Jacks arrived at the party at Bens house, he walks in and Ben comes up to him and says "here he is, Jacky boy" Jack smiles and shakes his hand "you alright brother" Jack says making conversation and Ben knows somethings wrong already. Ben takes him outside to the garden, "Jack what's up bro. Your not yourself lad" and Jack sits and explains the whole situation. "So the last time you saw her, everything was fine was when you left, where did you go after that?" Jack thinks and then tells Ben about the Man City birthday party they had for John. "Oh yeah I saw the pictures on instagram, you had a lot of girls that night" he says to Jack who looks at him and shakes his head "I never done anything with any of them. I was gutted I should've told Soph how I felt before then. But since holiday I can't get her off my mind." Ben nods at Jack and goes to reply but Jack jumps in with his face shocked liked he's just had a realisation "you don't think it was the pictures do you?" Jack says so down heartedly, knowing he'd fucked up, and he didn't even touch them girls. "I'll go see her tomorrow, it's too late now, thanks Ben" Jack says then Ben goes back inside as Jack needs a minute alone, he posts a photo on instagram hoping that she'd see it.

Sophie's sat at home, Summers asleep, luckily she's feeling better so getting back into routine. As she scrolls through instagram she sees Jacks post, she can see he's not happy in the picture and she reads the caption, is it about her, she puts the thought aside and presumes it's about someone else, even if it is, seeing Jack that broken hurts her. She decides to text him, she don't know why but she thinks it's the wine giving her the confidence,
To Jack G: Hey, it's Sophie, not sure if you'll still have my number. I saw your instagram post and you looked sad. I'm sorry I've not spoken to you recently, I should've been honest rather than cutting you off. If you want to talk I'm here Xx
She doesn't think he will still have her number let alone reply but she thought if he does then she's got a lot of explaining to do, she realises that how she acted was horrible, he technically didn't do anything wrong even if it did hurt like mad.

Jacks in Bens kitchen when his phone goes off, he takes it out and reads the message. As soon as he sees her name,he grins happily. "Someone's got a booty call" Declan says to him and Jack shakes his head, "no mate, no booty call for me" and Ben looks at Jack and says "there's only one name that can make him smile like that. Go get your girl Grealish." Jack says his goodbyes and replies to Soph's text. To Soph🔥: Can I come see you now babe? Xx within minutes a reply comes through from Sophie saying it's fine to come round. He gets in his car and drives to her house remembering where she lives like it's stamped in his brain. Jack thinks to himself that it's lucky that he didn't have a drink tonight. It takes him 45 minutes from Bens to Sophie's house but he parks up outside and realises he is nervous, he's never felt like this about a girl.

He nervously knocks on the door quietly knowing Summer will be asleep. Sophie opens the door and Jack grins as he's missed this beautiful girl so much. "Hey J, do you want a drink?" Sophie asks nervously. She makes him a glass of wine and sits next to him on the sofa. He goes to talk but she knows she needs to say what she needs to first. "Jack, before you say anything I need to explain. And if after this you want to leave then I will understand. Ever since I met you on holiday I've not been able to stop thinking about you, I ended up looking forward to speaking to you everyday, when you came round and stayed the night and cuddled me, was amazing." She pauses for a breath as she can feel herself tear up, Jack interrupts "what changed then Soph" she takes a breath in and continues "I fell hard for you Jack, I fell hard and fast for you, you left and I saw pictures of you with girls and it hurt me lots. I got upset and put my guards up as I've been hurt like that before but this time I was in the wrong as you weren't doing anything wrong, you wasn't mine" she now has tears running down her face. Jack wipes her tears with his thumb, "but I want to be babe. I never went near them girls, they weren't there for me. All I could think of was you. I want to be yours Sophie and I should've said something sooner to you but I've never felt like this about a girl and it scared me, I've been lost without you Soph" after he says that, she realises that his post, it was about her.

She leans forward and kisses him, he kisses back, they hold each other tight. "It's getting late Soph, do you want me to go?" Jack asks but Sophie shakes her head "fancy giving me your amazing Grealish cuddles" he grins and takes her hand upstairs to the bedroom.
In bed, she's in her pyjamas and he's in shorts, she's cuddles up in his arms. "I'm sorry J, I should never have cut you off." He places a finger over her lips "sshh now, stop apologising babe, it's all worked out now. I'm cuddling the most beautiful girl in the world in bed. And she's all mine." He says with a grin, Sophie looks over and says "well you never did officially ask" and winks at him. So he pushes himself up and says "Sophie you are the most beautiful girl in the world, plus you have a very gorgeous little girl, who makes me laugh and loves my lion impressions. Will you make me a very happy man and be my girlfriend?" Sophie has tears in her eyes and nods her head "of course I will" sealed will with a very passionate kiss they fall asleep in each others arms.
