My Theories on the new Sophie Storyline!!!!!

What is Sophie really feeling?

There are a few questions that have been raised in my mind since this new Sophie storyline began.

First off, we haven't really heard too much about her or Elliot in a while so when I found out they were going to be creeping up again... I knew it would be eventful!

here are a few things I picked up from the past few chapters and my theories about what could be going on:

I don't know if anyone else paid much attention to this point but Sophie told Aaron about her job before Elliot. It wasn't mentioned in that way but obviously by how it was written it is obvious she did.

That is a pretty big deal don't you think?

I know it was mentioned that she was scared because of Elliot's reaction... but was it just that? Or did she just prefer to tell Aaron first? Maybe he was involved in her going for the job... maybe he persuaded her to do it and not worry.

Did Aaron persuade Sophie to take the job?

Obviously we know that Aaron likes Sophie but maybe she has some feelings for him too? The reason I think this is because 1. she went out with him - leaving her friends at the dinner to go to some bars with him alone.
2. She went back to his place. Yes, she was really drunk and probably wasn't fully aware of what she was doing, but she still went there.

3. In the most recent chapter when Elliot touches her leg, she seems really uncomfortable. Also at the mention of her not being able to hug him and make everything better. Maybe it doesn't feel the same anymore because she likes Aaron instead?

Maybe Sophie has feelings for Aaron too? Maybe it's not just a one sided thing.

(lets just pretend this is Aaron (aka Nick) in this photo for the purpose of this post haha.)

OR I have been looking at this in a different way.

We all know Sophie is an extremely overly friendly person and I think sometimes that can come off as flirting. Maybe that is what's happening with Aaron? She doesn't actually like him, she's just being her usual self and it's being judged wrongly?

She seems really concerned about Elliot's opinion about her new job and maybe that's just because she is truly thinking about him.

She loves him and is scared that she will lose him if it makes him upset - something she doesn't want to happen. So therefore she was taking her mind off of things by going out with friends etc... and it has come across to many readers that it's due to her and Aaron having a thing... but actually she just doesn't want to lose her marriage?

She loves him and is scared to lose him?

OR 

Maybe she truly has out grown the whole Sophie and Elliot thing. Maybe it has nothing to do with Aaron at all. Maybe she has just out grown her relationship with Elliot.

They have been on and off for so long and they are two completely different people.

Possibly it was just a teenage thing that they got so caught up in and maybe due to the fact that he is also her bestfriend, she is finding it hard to be honest... and that's why she felt uncomfortable when he touched her leg etc... She doesn't see him in that way? Only friendship now and it made her feel weird.

Just a teenage phase?

They are just my theories... you might have some different ones. Let me know if you do :)
