Toy Soldiers {SSoHPKC/Creatures Fan-Fic}

Chapter 27: Official

»Sophia's POV«

Ugh! I can't believe Seamus! He seriously drives me insane sometimes! Yes, I love him like a brother, but every once and a while I want to kill him. Why does he have to act so overprotective and junk? I can handle my own life, and he likes to think he knows better. Okay, most the time he does know better, but I think I know what's best for MY relationship. I don't go telling him how he should be with Merel, but then again they always work their problems out. And I always need their advice...

God! Why do they have to be so perfect. Well, they aren't, cause no one is and they do have a lot of problems. Usually though, they both are right. Maybe I should tell James, but what if he doesn't want to love me anymore because of the "scars" I have. What if he's too scared of someone that's been so used. I hate to take chances, and I hate all of life's "what if's". Oh my glob! Why does life have to be so complicated!

»James' POV«

"Hey babe," Sophia called me from upstairs.

"Yeah?" I yelled back.

"Can you please come up here?" She asked.

I didn't want to, but still agreed. After her and Seamus talked, she came inside looking pissed. I'm worried what their conversation consisted of. What if she doesn't want to be with me anymore? Is that why she feels awkward to even touch me? I'm shaking a bit now. Please, Lord, don't let me lose her.

As I walked upstairs into our bedroom she couldn't even look at me. Someone answer my prayers and don't let this be the end. I'd rather she told me she was certified insane then let her go.

"I have something kind important to tell you." She said as I closed the door. "I don't know how you'll take it, but Seamus said I was only hurting you by not telling you, so here goes. From my first year of high school, up until right before we met, I was in an on again off again relationship with a guy named Tanner. Well, here's the thing, Tanner took advantage of my soft guts and cute forgiving brain. He hurt me, literally. I have scars and everything and that's it. That's what I needed to tell you and please don't think I have problems because I didn't leave him. And yes, it has scarred me, but don't think it means I can't love again, because I-"

"Sophia." I cut her off.

She's cute when she rambles or rants, but sometimes it's too much.

"Yeah?"

"I don't care about your past. I love you regardless of who you used to date, or who you used to be." I grabbed her soft hand and kissed it. "Can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Do you, maybe wanna get a place together?" I asked, trembling for a good answer.

She smiled. "I thought you'd never ask."

»Merel's POV«

I don't know what was wrong with me this morning. Guess it was one of those twenty-four hour flues or something. I still knew I had to pull myself out of bed to get to my hair appointment. What kind of place is open on the fourth? God only knows, but my hair is red now. It hasn't been red since high school, but I decided if Seamus is back in my life, my old hair should be too. Also, my eyes were without contacts, per Seamus' request.

I wont ever understand why he wanted me to be a multi-color eye freak, but it's what he wants. I don't want everyone starring, and Seamus swears they won't, but I know people too well. They will.

As I was pulling up to the house, fireworks were starting in the distance. Seamus came out to greet me and he looked shocked, but pleased to see my hair and white eye.
