Assisting Love (Waterloo Road)

Amelia had somehow gotten away with talking to Tom. She knew it was hard to open up. But she knew she couldn't open up about her past. She didn't want him to judge her.

When she woke up, she saw Tom walking in. He smiled. "Good morning gorgeous."

"Morning. Where's Lillie?" She asked as Tom kissed her.

Tom smirked. "Passed out sleeping. Didn't want to wake her up until you were up. I know she doesn't like anyone waking her up," he said.

Amelia grinned and pulled him onto the bed. Tom got between her legs and smirked. "It's a little early isn't it?"

Amelia shrugged. "Who knows. But I want you at some point today," she said.

Tom smirked and nodded. He kissed her again. "Definitely. Maybe in Max's office. See how he likes that," he told her.

Amelia rolled her eyes as she pushed Tom off of her. She grinned. "Go make me some bacon and I'll wake up my troublesome toddler."

Tom nodded. He walked downstairs leaving Amelia lying in bed. She sighed knowing how everything was getting more complicated.

Amelia went over to Madison's new house. She saw how pale her sister was. "Hey. Is everything okay?" She asked.

Madison shook her head. "M-Max came over. We had a row. I had a miscarriage. I-I wanted this baby," she mumbled.

Amelia was shocked. She helped her sister into the house. "Where's Summer?"

"She's playing. She's not left my side all night. I had to take her to the hospital with me," Madison said.

Amelia smiled. "Here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to take madam for the night. Tom won't mind. And you're gonna get some rest. I promise you'll be okay."

Madison shook her head. "No. It's fine. I'm okay. Are you okay?"

Amelia shrugged. "I think he's back. Tom got a letter. It was photos of me. I couldn't explain it to him."

Madison sighed. "He obviously knows where Tom lives. What are you gonna do?" She asked.

Amelia shrugged. "I don't know. I can't tell Tom because he will freak out and then demand we get the police. I can't do that," she told her.

Madison smiled. "It'll be okay. If it helps, you can both come and stay here. But I don't think you'd want to. Especially with that demon child over there. She had me awake at half past four this morning."

Amelia picked her niece up. She held her close. She looked at Madison. "You're the one who needs help. You look so unwell. And Max caused this?"

"Yeah. But please. Don't say anything to him. I don't need the grief," she mumbled.

Tom looked up as Amelia walked in. He frowned. "Is everything okay?" He asked as he looked at her.

Amelia nodded. "I just realised that I never told you how much I loved you," she said.

Tom smiled. "I love you too. Is everything okay? You don't seem yourself."

"I'm fine. I just... I don't want to ever lose you. No matter what happens in life, I love you."

Tom frowned. He knew Amelia was keeping something from him. But what was it? And could he save her from the past that was about to haunt her?
