Assisting Love (Waterloo Road)

27

Amelia sat in the house with the girls. She smiled as Madison walked in. "So come on. Mum has Summer. So you and me are off out for a little bit. I have a baby to shop for."

"Do I have to?"

"Yes. Tom has already said he will have the girls. So let's go."

Amelia groaned. She looked at her sister. "How's it going with Max?"

Madison shrugged. "We broke up. He said he didn't want me or the baby anymore. So I guess I'm a single mum to two under two," she told her.

Amelia sighed. She knew she would have to talk to Max. Make him wise up about what he was acting like.

Tom walked in and grinned. "You still here? Sling your hook," he joked.

"We're going Clarkson. Hold your horses."

The two girls were in town. Amelia was thinking about who had come back into her life. She knew it was a huge mess. Her life was about to become a huge mess.

Madison smiled. "So I bought a house. For me and my kids. It's a gorgeous four bedroom with the best garden ever."

Amelia grinned. "Why four bedrooms? Planning on more babies?"

"Nope. But a playroom for the kids. I want them to have a happy home. Little bean won't have a daddy because he doesn't want us. But that doesn't mean my kids won't have the best."

Amelia smiled. "You're a good mum Mads. Max and Chris have both hurt you. And you're a much better person."

"Yeah. You're right. Can you have Summer this weekend? I have to go and sign for the house."

"You don't even have to ask."

Amelia was sitting in a cafe waiting for Madison. She felt someone watching her. She turned around and saw that there was no one there.

Amelia knew she was being paranoid. But she couldn't help it. She knew there was someone watching her.

Madison sat opposite her. "Wow you're jumpy aren't you? Is everything okay?" She asked.

"Y-Yeah. It's all good."

Madison grinned. "You sure you're not having a secret affair I need to know about?"

Amelia laughed and shook her head. "No."

***
Amelia took Madison back home. She made her way over to Max's house. She banged the door. Max opened within seconds. "We need to bloody talk."

"Come in Amelia. How are you?" Max said sarcastically.

Amelia scoffed. "You're a jerk. You know that right? Madison is pregnant with your baby. You can't just walk out on her. You can't walk out like Chris did."

"It's none of your business. So get out of my house."

***
Amelia went back to Tom. She found him sitting on the sofa. She saw the look on his face. "Babe. What's up?" She asked as she looked at him.

Tom looked into her eyes. He handed her a letter with some pictures. "This person is watching you. And they know you were out today. Who is this freak?" He asked.

Amelia took a deep breath and sighed. She nodded. "Okay. I'll tell you everything," she said as she sat down next to him.

But was Amelia ready to open up about her past?
