POV: AMELIA
It's 1:00 pm, and my eyes flutter open as I regain consciousness. Damn.
I really slept in that late. I'm feeling pretty good about today until I remember what happened last night.
I wish I could shrivel up into a hole and die.
**flashback**
"You're drunk"
"No I'm not...I need to tell you something"
"Stop messing with me- go home Elio"
"I love you"
Where the hell is this coming from?
"No you don't"
"I-I've loved you since we were 7 years old"
***************
POV: AMELIA
Yeah, that sucked. I hurriedly try to get out of bed when I'm hit with a piercing pain on my four head.
Oh right, I got drunk too. I groan.
I pick up my phone to check the time and I see that I have a million messages from Mia. Shit, she's probably worried sick. I dial her number.
"WHERE THE HELL ARE U?? ARE U OKAY?"
"I'M FINE- I'm fine...I got back home safe"
I hear a sigh of relief through the phone.
"Okay well I'll see you tonight"
Tonight?
"What do you mean?"
"The roof? Like always? Seriously Melia you don't seem yourself"
"Chill I'm fine...i'll see you tonight babes"
"Bye love you"
And I hang up. I completely forgot about the roof tonight. I decide to hold off on the situation with Elio and regain myself.
It's the last day of summer.
This summer was honestly the best. The most fun I have ever had in my life and it wouldn't be the same without Mia, Adrien, and I guess..Elio.
Every year, on the last day of summer, we all meet on Mia's roof. It's become an annual hangout spot, and it's not a ritual we plan on breaking anytime soon.
I spend the rest of my day cleaning and getting ready for my return to school. New clothes, backpack, stationery, and books. New Year New Me.
I decide to watch some TV and eat, and try to keep my mind off of last night. Before I know it, it's already 6 o'clock.
I slowly get off the sofa and walk upstairs to my room. I've always liked my room. Spacious, messy, and safe. I'm in here all the time, and yet, there's usually nowhere I'd rather be.
Still, I'm excited for tonight's tradition.
What should I wear?
After 15 minutes of trying on an insane variety of outfits, I decide to wear a sunshine yellow dress spotted with pink flowers and green leaves.
After a while, I get into my car and drive to Mia's house. For some reason, Adrien is there before me.
"Hey Melia"
"Hey- Why are you so early?"
"Eh I just felt like coming a bit early"
I eye him with suspicion.
"Okay" I shrug.
"MELIA OMG I'VE BEEN WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU" Mia shouted as she ran towards me.
I feel guilty for not telling her.
"I know I'm so sorry for not letting you know where I was" I sigh.
"We should talk about it-"
"HEYO" a voice interrupts.
Holy shit. I forgot he would be here.
"ELIOOOOO" Adrien yells. "YOU'RE FINALLY HERE IDIOT" he exclaims as they fist-bump. I roll my eyes.
"Can you two shut up?" Mia yells out. "It's almost time"
We start to climb up on the roof of Mia's house. I've done this a million times before but for some reason, I can never get the hang of it. It takes me longer, so I can already see Mia, Adrien, and Elio up there. I'm almost there and reaching up, when my hand slips.
I panic and I'm left with one hand supporting me while dangling from the roof.
I'm about to lose balance.
"HELP!"
Wait, I'm not falling.
I look up and see Elio holding my hand. Why does he have to do this to me? I'm hoisted up onto the roof and by the time I'm seated there, I'm embarrassed.
"Uh- Thanks" I say, embarrassed.
"Erm..no problem" Elio mutters as he subconsciously scratches the back of his head.
Mia clearly sensing the tension in the air, speaks up. "Sooo what's this year's theme" she asks while we all take a few seconds to think.
"To new beginnings" Adrien suggests.
I like that.
"To new beginnings" we say in unison. We all take sips of beer from the cans Elio brought. "Can you believe we're going into our last year of high school?"
Elio mutters as he takes a sip from his can.
"Crazy" I say.
"How do you think it's gonna go?" Mia asks anxiously.
"It'll be alright" Adrien reassured.
I agree. I didn't know what tomorrow or this year was gonna be like, but in the end I know it would turn out just fine.
And so, I take a sip of beer and lay my head back while I enjoy my last glimpse of this summer.
It'll be Alright.
