October 2013 - Sophie’s Heartache

Today was meant to be a relaxing cheery day. Drama wasn’t allowed today. I was planning on spending the day with Ryan, just kickin’ back. Sophie clearly had other ideas for me. I was just about to exit the apartment to make my way over to Ryan’s when I heard Sophie’s cries. I loudly sighed and turned around my heels. I waited until I heard the whaling again to enter Sophie’s room. I was glad to be living with her again, I missed spending the time with her but having spent so much time apart, I had forgotten all of her annoying habits that she owned. I slowly opened her door revealing a very sad looking Sophie rolled up into a ball in the middle of her bed. I sat on the edge of the bed and placed my hand on her shoulder. She unravelled herself and put her head on my lap. I was the only person that Soph would let play with her hair. It had become the only thing that I could do to sooth her agony. I could feel the tears that fell from her eyes and crashed on my leg. I just sat there and let her cry until she was ready to tell me what happened. Eventually she sat up and explained, “I’ve made a mistake”

I wiped the tear rolling down her cheek, “What did you do?”

“I didn’t listen to you”

I lightly smile, “Oh dear. What happened?”

“I couldn’t chose between Jake and Drew. I love them both and I couldn’t be with one without thinking about the other. I had just broke it off with Drew and went to see Jake. Drew was there and they both said that I couldn’t keep playing with their feelings. I didn’t mean to, I just wasn’t positive about my own feelings. They told me to choose and I couldn’t. Neither one of them want to be with me. I’ve lost them both”

“Oh Soph. I don’t have anything to say that could make this better. At least you didn’t try banging them both. That would have worked out to be worse then what’s happened”

“I know that you told me that I already knew who I wanted but thinking about it, I realised that I actually have no idea”

Sophie laid her head back on my lap, “I just think that if you thought about it really hard and then you still couldn’t decide between them then you aren’t meant to be with either. I know it’s difficult but you can’t expect them to stick around when you can’t stick to the one guy. As much as leaving hurts you, staying would have hurt them more”

“So, it just wasn’t meant to be?”

“Perhaps not. I know right now you can’t see it but there is a guy out there for you. A special someone who you won’t have to question your feelings for. When the day comes, you’ll just know”

“Amelia…” Sophie sat up and hugged me, “…I know that you’re meant to go over to Ryan’s but could you stay here and watch Disney with me. I really need my best friend”

I hugged her back, “Of course I can”

I spent the rest of the day cuddling Soph while we watched our favourite Disney movies. I even made her cookies and a hot chocolate.
