July 28, 2013- Sophias POV

I could feel all kinds of eyes on me. I really didn't like to be the center of attention and in the lime-light. Ever since that night at the club- or better yet ever since I met Mr. Carter. That is all my life has become the center of attention. I really didn't want this, I wanted Nick of course but did I want to break up a marriage for him. Every relationship has problems and issues that they need to work out. I glance over at Nick, he has his arms wrapped around Lauren. His back is to me and I see the smug look on Laurens face. Like she won. The prize- Nick, like she won Nick.

The question of the hour is, was he ever mine in the first place. After mine and Lauren's rocky introduction, and my bloody nose and her black eye.

Nick had to pull Lauren back and A.J had to pull me back.

"Stupid Bitch" Lauren muttered "You are trying to steal my man" She says trying to wiggle out of his grasp lunging for me.

"Im not trying to steal anything- Maybe you should appreciate what you have instead of trying to find something better." I say not taking my eyes off her.

"Alex, get off of me. Im fine." A.J holds on tighter "A.J let me go, im not going to start something."

I could see how torn Nick was this was not a very good situation. I wasn't going to make it harder on anyone. They obviously needed to talk.

A.J lets me go and I go and sit by the pool away from everyone. Nick comes over and hands me a box of kleenex and a white wet washcloth.

"Sophia- Im so sorry, I should have told you she was coming."

I bite my tounge " Yea-you should of" I say coldly staring at the water flowing down the black water slide, watching Mason splash into the water.

"So , Lauren wants to talk." Nick sits next to me and I watch as his feet swing in the water making clear blue minature whirlpools. He was nervous; rightfully so.

"I told her I was here with you." Nick sighs. "Sophia- I don't know what to do."

"Nick, I know this is hard for you. Go talk to her, besides we said 30 days. You do what you got to do."

"Sophia-" Nick stands up and makes me look at him. "Im leaving here with you tonight." He gives me a kiss on the cheek and walks away.

obviously they had a lot to talk about. It was now a total of 30 minutes that they were talking. I glance at my watch, and wait for some sort of sign.

I sit out at the granite table and watch Nick and Lauren talk. I see them going some where's more private and see them heading in the direction where Nick and I got extremely close and intimate. I can feel my body heat rising and my blood boiling. I was jealous, he is mine and I wasn't ready to give him back. I was holding onto the water balloon the one I was "Keeping Safe" For Baylee. I think they were trying to busy me- Can you say Awkward?

Before I knew it I was squeezing the green water balloon so tight that it sprayed all over me, I hear Baylee and it breaks me away from my daydream.

"Soooppphhiia, you broke it" he whines. "Not fair, Im not out. She broke my last balloon." I put my head down, I have never felt so out of place- ever.

Leighanne comes over and puts her hand on my shoulder

"Baylee, your out. Those are the rules. The next game you can can get back in. Why don't you go see what your dad and Uncle Kevin are up too in the pool."

"M-om" Baylee whined "Baylee Litrell, if you so much as whine once more today your dad I are going to take away your game time."

"Fine" Baylee turns around in defeat.

"Baylee, lose the attitude." Leighanne gives Baylee the mothers eye, you know the one. Kind of the same eye, you get when your mother calls you by your full name.

"Okay, mom I am sorry. Sophia sorry for blaming you."

I smile "Its okay Baylee" Baylee turns around and runs to the pool where he jumps in the pool and does a cannonball off of the side of the pool, for a little guy. He sure can make a big splash. I watch as Kevin and Brian wipe the droplets of water out of their eyes.

I glance over and look around the yard in search of Nick and Lauren. Rochelle comes around the corner with A.J and A.J heads in the pool with Ava, and Rochelle sits across the table from me and hands me a bag of swollen peas.

"You may want this for your nose, it will help with the swelling." Rochelle shakes her head chuckling.

"Im sorry ladies for ruining your BBQ" Leighanne chimes up and Kristin comes over and sits across from Leighanne.

"Meh-this is normal there is always some kind of drama at these things-dont worry about it girl."

"Kristin hands me a corona "drink this. I think your going to need it." she laughs inwardly and takes a drink of her 'Adult' lemonade.

"I can't feel the side of my face its numb from the peas." I giggle. I put both hands on my forehead and press hard and rub my temples. "I can't believe-I put myself in this situation." I say as I look in front of me and see that Leighanne, Kristin, and I have a bunch of emptys in front of us.

I playfully pretend to hit my head on the table and the other girls. Sigh, not really knowing what to say.

"Sophia-you didn't do anything wrong. Its Nick who should be apologizing. He should have his shit figured out before dragging you into it." She smiles, I couldn't help but smile her smile was contagious pregnancy has done her great. she is glowing.

"You know what ladies, I think I have had enough of this worrying. Lets not talk about Nick. Lets talk about Rochelle, and her baby belly."

"Ohhh that reminds me Sophia- Here" Leighanne digs in her purse and pulls out a green invitation this is for you. Open it later" She winks at me.

"Ooookkay" I smile back she mouths to me 'i'll explain later.' she points to Rochelle once her back is turned.

I smile and wink back letting her know I understand.

I was only half listening to the conversation of morning sickness, baby booties, and baby room themes to if she was going to breast feed, pump, or bottle feed with formula. Maybe-I was only half listening because it still hurt to talk babies. It wasn't to long ago and I was discussing all of these things with my best girlfriends.

I couldn't help but wonder where Nick was and if this was going to be the last time I saw these beautiful faces. I wasn't going to be the home-wrecker, but I wasn't backing down without a fight. I already lost one love, I was about to give up on a potential love. I just really wish I knew what was going on. I sighed and pretended like I didn't care. I don't think I was fooling anyone though, I was a person that wore her heart on her sleeve. I think if anyone saw might my heart they would see a few frayed pieces.
