Stars Can't Shine Without Darkness

Sophie's POV

Ignoring...

Ignoring someone can be a reason for a break up or beginning to hate someone that you used to love.

That's my opinion or my type of love language. We all have love languages, there are six of this language.

First: My language is the quality time. I love people when they start to care about me, focus on me and share my interests, and I do when I start to annoy you or in my language to care about you that means that I love you so much.

Second: There are alot of languages, some people's love language is doing a favour for themselves or for someone else to show love. This type is called "acts of service".

Third: Some people's love language is expressing their love for someone by words or actions (not physically), this type is called "words of affirmation".

Fourth: Others love is by receiving gifts that can be simple but they will be so happy to feel loved or appreciated.

Fifth: this one is my favourite; to share the one you love all his interests even if you don't like it, but as time passes, you will actually discover that you loved it, because your lover does, it makes you feel closer to them, it will make you feel that you're somehow similar, even if you're polar opposites.

The sixth language is: the physical touch/attraction, people feel more safe by holding hands, hugging, kissing, making love etc. Without it, they feel unloved even after all of the words, gifts, or giving attention, it won't change that, it won't change their needs.

When I look at Bennett Stevens, and think about these words, unfortunately I find out that our relationship doesn't make sense, it's not that I don't love him, I really do, it seems just... not right, more specifically.. forced. We have nothing in common, I love reading, he despises it, he loves sports, I don't like it but at least I support him, unlike him, he always makes silly comments about me reading then he says it's sarcasm, and I hate it, but I just think that maybe it's his way of joking, I want to tell him that his jokes are as silly as him, but I just don't want to embarrass him. making people hate things they're passionate about is not funny.

I think he asked me out because of a physical attraction or a bet, it's been always like that for him, the quarterback of the football team with his all American blond hair and blue eyes and good looks. Girls swoon when they see him, he changes girls like toys, at first, he acts all charming and considerate.. basically, he acts like the perfect guy until he gets what he wants from them, then, he throws them away.

He's not my type.

And I never thought that I'd end up with a guy like him.

I deserved better.

But he did something that made me love him and I'm forever grateful.

Before Ben and I stared dating, I had no friends at all, people said I'm pretty and some invited me to eat on their tables but with everyone looking at me, wanting to know about me and my life made me so uncomfortable so I preferred being lonely. I found myself a corner and sat alone at lunch or went out and ate under the shadow of a big tree that I've grown to love, I'd look at the sky, the colourful flowers, sit on the grass and listen to good music, enjoy the nature, peace and quiet.

After we started dating, Ben gave me a motivational speech about how beautiful I am and reassured me that his friends like me and that they wouldn't mind me sitting with them so I agreed for him.

All his friends weren't my type but they were nice enough to deal with, they were seven total, including Ben.

Zac and Rachel were those PDA couple who'd make out anywhere and everywhere.
