Connor pulled away and smirked, "I've been waiting for that for four years."

I smiled and pulled down my dress, fiddling with anything I could. I looked up at him and smiled sheepishly.

"Wasn't the spark I expected.." I whispered.

"I know it wasn't. Maybe our spark died out when you left. Who knows. Obviously your fireworks are with someone else now." He didn't look upset, he almost looked like he expected it.

"You're... you're not mad?" I asked.

"Sophia, you're in love. You're happy. That means I'M happy. I'd like to meet him though."

Typical Connor. Throws a curve ball then tells me he wants to meet my exboyfriend.

"Well, we're not exactly on good terms right now.." I said quietly.

"Fix it Sophie. Don't fuck this one up for you. Trust me, you'll never forgive yourself."

I kissed his cheek and smiled, "I've really missed you."

"I missed you too, don't be such a stranger" He grinned.

I walked back into the club and sat down next to my mum. Mrs. Archibald had gone to fetch Connor and take him home.

"How's Connor? He's a great lad Sophia, comes from a good family, goes to Oxford for law," She went through the list of his many redeeming qualities before I cut her off.

"But he's not Louis." I said.

Max rolled his eyes and stabbed his steak with his fork. My mom sighed and shook her head,

"Louis is a wonderful boy, yes. But, he's not MARRIAGE material. I mean look at his mother. Sophia I could never share christmas with that woman." She said it as if Johannah was satans spawn.

"Mom, drop it. Your relationship with Louis and your relationship with his mother are not my problem. He's my..." I stopped. For a second I almost forgot that we weren't together anymore.

"I have to go. I'm sorry." I stood up and grabbed my purse.

"Sophia Riley George sit down right now, what could you possibly have to do that can't wait?" My mother scolded.

"She's going to fix things with lover boy" Max said, rolling his eyes.

My mother began rubbing her temples, "You children are trying to kill me."

I smirked and ran outside, hailing a taxi.

I paced up and down the hallway of the complex, going back and forth about trying to fix things with Louis. If I did, he would win. If I didn't, I would win but be massively unhappy. Or maybe it's the other way around. I felt nauseous and dizzy and sat down against the wall.

"Sophia?" I looked up to see a confused Louis standing in front of me.

"Uh... Hey Lou.." I said.

"What are you doing here?" He looked annoyed and was frantically looking around.

"I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry for being a bitch. And for sleeping with Nathan. And being inconsiderate of your feelings with Lottie. I fucked up, multiple times. I know." I looked into his eyes, searching for any sign I could get.

"Um.. Sophia..." He stammered.

"Lou let me finish, I wanted to tell you that I'm in love with-" My declaration of love was abruptly cut off.

"Louis!!! What is taking you so long!" A high pitched girl yelled.

I looked behind me to see Eleanor standing in the door, in lingerie. I felt my heart sink. Louis looked mortified. Like he should.

"Sophia..." He began.

"Are you serious?! Goodbye Louis." I turned around and walked to Perrie and Zayn's and began banging on the door.

"Sophia come on!" He pleaded.

Eleanor was still standing in the door, totally unfazed. Stupid little bitch. Louis grabbed my arm, trying to get me to look at him.

"Get off of me, please! I don't want to talk to you! Not now and not ever! You're such a dick!" I screamed.

Perrie opened the door and looked at me, then Louis, then Eleanor.

"Oh HELL no!" She walked up to Eleanor and I ran after her.

"Perrie forget it, she's not worth it." I said blankly.

"No Sophia I won't forget it. You my dear, are a factious little slut. Not one person here cares what you do. You may have Louis now, but you will never be inside this group the way you want to be. If you can get this little pig in bed, fine. But don't you dare try and flaunt it in anyone's face. If you haven't noticed, you're a straggler. You weren't the first, and you probably won't be the last." Everyone's jaws hit the floor. Perrie wasn't one to fuck with.

She grabbed my hand and pulled me towards her apartment. I looked back at Louis and gave him the finger. Once we were in the confinement of Perrie's apartment I broke down in tears. I had left Connor and dinner and my mum and brother to confess my love to one of the most annoying, self centered, assholes I had ever met. This is what I get. Perrie didn't say anything for awhile, she just held me. I felt broken. I wanted to make this numbing pain go away. I tried to compose myself and wiped the excess makeup out from under my eyes.

"I need to go." I said.

"Soph are you sure? You can stay here tonight if you want. We can watch movies, eat ice cream, talk about how dumb boys are.." Zayn shot her an annoyed glare and she stuck her tongue out at him.

"It's okay Per, I just wanna go home."
