If I can't be with you

Jealousy

Sophies Point of View

Ross and I have been in a relationship for a month now and I loved being with him. Our relationship was still a secret but we were going strong. I felt for him every day more and more. I just wished we could make it official and I think that he wished for it as well. But still we were happy. He made me smile every single day.

Today was another concert of R5 on the east coast and as before I was helping Marc with the meet and greets. The band was already there for the pictures and I was walking along the line when I heard a familiar voice calling my name.

"Sophie? What are you doing here?" the voice asked. I froze first and then slowly turned myself to the voice. There he was. Still goodlooking and handsome, Stephen. Stephen, my ex and my ex boss. How could this happen? What was he doing here? And then I saw her, his daughter. She was standing next to him, waiting in the line for a picture with R5. I couldn't get out any words. I saw that Ross was looking at me, wondering what was going on, but I couldn't concentrate.

"Sophie, will you please say something?" Stephen asked. I looked back at him.

"What do you want Stephen?" I hissed. Now it was his daughters turn for pictures, so Stephen took this time to ask me.

"Would you please meet with me after the concert? I really need to talk to you."

"What? What is with your wife?" I stumbled confused.

"We are separated. She gets Liza after the concert and then I have time. Please." He was separated and now he wanted to talk to me. I tried to wrap my head around it but it wouldn't work. He touched my arm and I flinged.

"Please Sophie, just after the concert and only for a short time. If you don't want to stay after what I said, you don't have to." I just nodded and then I finally found my voice again.

"Okay, we meet after the concert outside at the backstage door." I walked away from him without saying anything else or looking back at him. But I could feel his stare on me. Was I making a mistake?

Ross Point of View

I saw Sophie talking to a guy in a suit. He seemed to be a father of our fans but I could see that she wasn't comfortable to talk to him.

"Delly," I whispered through my teeth, "do you know who this is Sophie is talking to?" She looked at Sophie and then she shock her head. I knew that we had to take a lot more pictures but I couldn't concentrate. Finally it was over and I could ask her.

"Soph?" I approached her from behind and saw that she flinged. What was this all about? "Who was the man you were talking to earlier during the meet and greet?" I could see her defensive look when she looked at me.

"What are you talking about?" she tried to avoid the answer.

"Sophie, please, who was that? You know exactly of whom I'm talking."

"Ross, please, I don't think that we should talk about it right now. It was someone from my past and he asked me to meet him after the concert." she sighed.

"What? But I don't want you to do that!" I gushed. Damn, that was stupid. I could see it how she narrowed her eyes.

"YOU DON'T WANT ME TO DO THAT?" she asked me in a low voice. "Since when do you decide what I do?"

"Soph, it is not like that. But I saw how uncomfortable you were earlier talking to him and I just don't want you to feel like that. I'm sorry. But please, would you tell me who that was?" I said hands up. She seemed to calm down a little bit.

"Later Ross. Now concentrate on the Q&A and the concert. I promise I'll tell you." she said and then walked away from me. She approached Delly and started to talk to her. It seemed like she was telling her who that was by the reaction of her. I got mad that she was talking to my sister but not to me. Why didn't she trust me. Soon we had the Q&A and after this Sophie always avoided me. She irritated me.
