Wrong, but right {Waterloo road}

015

Amelia had been staying with Madison since she had returned. She didn't want to go back and face Izzie.

When she woke that morning, she walked into the living room. Madison was there with Poppy and Paislee "Morning. You okay?" She asked.

Amelia nodded and sighed. She sat down. "I just feel like... Tom is going to hate me. Especially with everything that's happened. I left him to come back here. And I just don't know how to feel about it," she said.

Madison smiled. "You know he won't hate you. He will be mad, I admit. But he won't hate you. I promise."

"I don't know. I think I just wanna make it work here. Then if he really wants me, he can come back and we can be together and raise our baby," she told her.

Madison smiled and took her hand. "It's not easy. Max and I are still struggling. Especially with Paislee. But somehow it's working. And I'm grateful."

Amelia sighed. She picked up the little toddler and sat her on her lap. Paislee giggled. Poppy looked at her. "Where Amber go?" She asked as she looked at her.

Madison said nothing as she got Poppy changed for nursery.

The two girls went into school. Amelia saw Izzie and sighed. "She's going to hate me."

"She won't. Just go and talk to her. Explain to her about everything. And she'll forgive you. You have a forgiving face."

Amelia rolled her eyes and smiled. "I guess you're right. I just... gah this annoys me. She's my sister. She's not my mum. So I shouldn't have to worry about what she thinks. But I do."

"Seriously. Talk to her."

Izzie was sitting in her classroom. She looked up as Amelia walked in. "So. You're back then?" She asked.

Amelia nodded. "Yeah. I wanted to come back. It didn't feel right. But I wanted to say that I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left the way I did."

Izzie sighed and looked at her. "But you did. With Tom. Is he back?"

"No. It's just me. I know I'm probably the last person you want to see. But I truly am sorry," Amelia said as she turned and walked off.

***
Amelia was sitting outside. She saw Tom's car and walked over to him. As she got closer, he drove off.

Amelia frowned. She knew Tom would have been mad. But she didn't think that he would drive away from her. She felt bad for leaving him and it hurt her that he physically drove away from her.

She grabbed her phone and text him;

'I'm sorry. I hope you can forgive me one day - Amelia x'

She sent the text and turned off her phone.

Amelia sat with Madison in her flat and sighed. "I saw Tom. He drove away from me. And I've realised that he hates me. Izzie hates me too. I have no one," she mumbled.

"You have me."

Amelia smiled and sighed. She knew that she had a long way to go and make it up to Izzie. But with Amelia feeling like Tom hated her, would she ever see him again?
