Zac's P.O.V

"You didn't have to do that." I had been watching Sophie and Paige for the last ten minutes. Watching as they talked and laughed like they had been friends for years. I was thankfull that Paige hadn't felt weird about this situation I've put her in, it's not easy being friends with your boyfriends ex girlfriend.

Finally having the confidence, I started walking over to them when I heard Sophie asking Paige to go shopping with her and the girls tomorrow. I was happy about them spending time together but things between me and Sophie aren't exactly great at the moment.

Sophie looked up at me from the scrap of paper she had in her hands. I bit my tongue when I saw the pain in her eyes as she gazed up at me. I knew I made a mistake five years ago, if I could explain to her then maybe... Her forgiveness is all I can hope to receive out of this, I'm with Paige and I'm happy.  

"I didn't do it for you, I like her." She said whilst standing up. She masked her emotions and replaced the hurt with anger even though she acted casual infront of me.

"Sophie, we need to-" I began when she started walking away but she cut me off.

"No!" She shouted and looked around her quickly hoping she didn't catch anyone's attention. Satisfied she turned back to me and lowed her voice. "No." She repeated sternly. "You're here for Matt's wedding. Nothing else, we keep out of each other's way and in December you go back to living your life like you never came back." I heard her voice break and my heart broke knowing I was the cause of all the pain she was feeling. I never meant to hurt her.

"Sophie, I'm sorry." I hoped saying sorry could get us somewhere. I knew she deserved more then that but I knew she would't let me continue before inturrepting me again.

"It's not enough." She said in a low voice that I wasn't sure if I heard her right. She shook her head and looked at floor. I gritted my teeth to stop myself from pulling her into my arms. Damn, I forgot what effect this girl had on me. 

"I know." I replied in the same tone but she shook her head again before looking up at me. Her eyes were glistening with tears and I could see her fighting not let let them fall.

"No, you don't know Zac. You have no idea." She said before turning and walking away. I wanted to call after her but knew I wouldn't be doing her any favours. I deserved it, I was a jerk to her and even if she forgave me I dont think I could forgive myself.

I should have just become a doctor.

Tina's P.O.V

So much drama. I watched the love triangle, surprised at the way they acted. First of, there's Sophie, the girl who gave her heart away only to have it crushed. She was standing tall and strong but I knew it was all just an act. It was killing her watching Zac with Paige.

I knew the only thing keeping her together was Wilson and Abby. I was surpirsed Zac didn't put two and two together, I mean, Abby is the spiting image of him. Those children meant the world to her and I knew that once/if Zac finds out, she'll be scared at having them taken away from her. She thinks she can hide her emotions but she is as easy to read as an open book.

Then theres Paige, the gorgeous actress who is engaged to Zac. Honestly, I expected Paige to be this mean girl but she was surprisingly nice, I hadn't actually spoken to her yet but I overheard her conversation with Sophie earlier. I'm going to have to keep my eye on her though, after all, she is an actress.
