Broken Home

one

AMELIAS POV
My alarm went over and I rolled over. Fuck. I couldn't be late for school. Again. My mom would be so pissed if I was late again. I got up and got dressed and grabbed my backpack. I sighed as I looked at my things. Sometimes I wanted everything to end. I hated living in LA. I hated it. I missed Seattle. I missed my dad. I had barely any friends here, my sisters don't talk to me, Dereks always working, and my mom is a bitch. I grabbed a few things and walked downstairs and my mom was in the kitchen. I was practically an only child since my siblings were all out of the house, and I hated it. They did visit enough to make me feel like shit though. I can't tell if I prefer my sisters gone or here. It's rough.
"What's with the moody look?" My mom said.
"Tired," I said.
"You can't be late again," she said.
"I know that," I mumbled.
"Why can't you ever be happy for once?" She looked at me.
"I said I was tired," I said and grabbed a water bottle.
"You're not going to eat breakfast?" She asked.
"No," I said.
"I just went food shopping," she said.
"I'm not hungry," I said.
"You're so ungrateful sometimes," she said. I grabbed my car keys and walked out to my car without saying a word. I drove to school and parked in the parking lot. I basically had no friends. I have Owen, but he's kinda just this guy I kissed a few times. We don't really hang out or talk. I looked up from my phone and saw Arizona walking into the school. She was so pretty. She was everything. I've fallen for her. I've fallen for her so hard, but just like Owen, we barely exchange words.

ARIZONAS POV
I sat down next to April at lunch and I noticed Amelia sitting by herself on her phone. She was beautiful. We weren't really friends, we had a class together and saw each other occasionally, but we barely talked. It hurt me because she was so stunning and all I ever wanted was her. I got up and rushed over to her and sat across from her. She looked up at me and I could tell by her eyes that she was hurt. She didn't say anything but I saw the tears swell in her eyes.
"Hey are you okay?" I asked.
"I'm fine," she said, "did you need something?"
"I wanted to know if you wanted to eat lunch with April and I," I said. She looked kinda taken back by this question and hesitated.
"Sure," she said after a while. She got up and followed me and sat down next to me at our table. Usually alex sat with us too but he was with Jo today. Amelia seemed really upset and it hurt me to see her so upset. I feel like she hated it here. She's lived in LA for a few months, she moved here from Seattle, I know she mentioned that when a teacher made her introduce herself. She has that crazy smart neurosurgeon brother. He's like practically famous. Amelia kept looking at her phone like she was waiting for a text. She seemed really on edge and scared, and I felt really bad.
"Hey are you alright?" April asked her.
"Yeah sorry, my moms just sending me something important," Amelia said, "must be taking a while to load."
"Gotcha," I said.

AMELIAS POV
She found it. She fucking found it. She found my box of letters of my feelings. I wrote everything I was feeling and put it in a box, including my feelings for Arizona. She fucking found it. I walked inside the house and I could feel myself shaking. She would hate me.
"Amelia is that you?" She asked.
"Yeah," I said and walked into the kitchen. The letters were all over the counter. They were in piles, the piles I organized them in by thought.
"Why were you in my room?" I asked scared.
"Because I don't trust you," she said.
"With what? I've never even done anything for you to say that," I said.
"Well clearly you're hiding things. I can see that now," she said.
"It's not any of your business," I said and grabbed the letters.
"It is too my business!" She yelled at me and ripped the papers from my hands. She slapped me hard across my face and it stung. All I could think about was that Arizona asked me if I was okay, and I should have said no.
