I want it to be you. That's what Fitz had told her, and the thing was she wanted it to be him too. So so badly. 

The thing that stood in my way was the match. What if we weren't matched? Fitz had said he always wanted to accomplish something and what if he didn't want to be a bad match and mess up his name no matter how much he liked me? That's what scared me most if he didn't like me enough to give that up, then we weren't meant to be. I would be crushed, I really hope that the match works and I won't have to worry about that. 

Sophie Elizabeth Foster is unmatchable. 

That's what the screen said as I sat there staring at it. I sat there willing the tears not to come out but tears never listened. I ran out of the room and went straight outside, not letting anyone else see me, I was a wreck crying and I couldn't stop. 

"Sophie!" Edaline ran after me, probably assuming the worst but I couldn't hear her, I needed to get away. Grady caught my arm and I threw myself into his arms getting his clothes wet. I swear I heard him mumble something about matchmaking but I didn't care I needed to get home. 

"Sophie, what happened?" Edaline asked, clearly worried. I shook my head and transmitted, not here at home, because I felt too weak, too broken to talk. Maybe that's what I was, broken, too broken to be with anyone. 


When we got home I changed, immediately. The teal dress I wore reminded me too much of him, and being reminded of him reminded me of what happened. I took the teal heart necklace off and put it in my desk drawer, where I couldn't see it. I missed wearing it and feeling it just below my collarbone. He probably didn't want me to wear it anymore or see me ever again. Looks like we couldn't be-

"Sophie? Do you want to talk now?" Edaline came in hesitantly, I nodded. I really needed someone right now and my mom was the perfect person. Even if she still let me call her that after she finds out everyone thinks I'm broken and unmatchable. She sits next to me and pulls me into her arms. I take a deep breath and begin, starting from when Fitz first told me he liked me. Honestly, I told her everything. 

The tears were threatening to come again when I started talking about what happened in the matchmaking office and she held me tighter comforting me until the threat passed. I also told her what I thought because if I'd already told her this much I might as well tell her well, everything. That included my plan to avoid him entirely. 

"Sophie you need to tell him eventually, especially with his indefinite lifespan, how do you think he would feel if his best friend who also happened to be his crush started ignoring him one day and never told him why?" Edaline asked she posed a good point. 

'Well he can get into my mind so he could look without permission" I argued I really didn't want to see him or talk to him, ever. 

"But he respects you enough not too, just keep that in mind Sophie," She paused "you're going to have to give him an explanation eventually and I wouldn't want to do it but I will if you want me too, stay strong I love you" She got up to leave but I grabbed her hand

"Can I have some sedatives I'm going to really need them" I pleaded, the monster kept trying to rise, all the emotional turmoil must have stirred it. She nodded her head and left. 

"Oh and mom," she turned around, "I love you" She gave me a smile, that's exactly what I needed. She returned with the sedatives and I fell into a dreamless and worry-less sleep.
