When the sun comes out- Demi lovato

~50~

*Amelia's POV*

I felt the bed shift a little and a hand on my back. I looked up and saw Demi sitting in the edge of the bed.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"He hates me" I replied.
Why, though?
I was so happy to see him. I missed him so much. But he doesn't like me anymore.

"He doesn't. He was just upset"

"He doesn't wanna see me, Demi. He said it himself"

"Wanna know why?"

"Cause I did something wrong. Why else?"

"Wanna know what you did wrong?"

"I guess"

"He thought you left him. He missed you and was upset that you didn't come to visit him or call him. He thought you didn't like him anymore and you left him. That's why he was mad, but he still loves you. He missed you so much, Amelia. He really did"

I just looked at her, not saying anything. I didn't know what to say.

"He's making you a fruit plate now, to say sorry" she smiled.

"That's sweet"

"Wanna come down, or wanna wait till he comes up?"

"I'll come down. Just, do you maybe have a crib for the baby? I'm scared she'll fall off the bed"

"Yeah, sure. We just have to set it up, so can she sleep in her stroller for now?"

"Yeah, that's fine" I said, as I stood up and carried Amanda downstairs to her stroller.
I walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. I heard Corey talking in the kitchen.

"Do you think she'll like this?" he asked.

"I'm sure she will" Drake replied.

"How do you know?"

"Cause she loves you. And when you love someone, you're very happy if that person does something special for you"

"Do you think she still loves me after I got mad at her, then?"

"Yep. I know that she does"

"How do you know?"

"I can feel it. I can feel her love for you. She loves you so much, Corey. She has a special love for you"

"I love her too, daddy"

Aww, that's cute.

"I'm sure she'd love to hear you say that to her"

"Should I go tell her, then?"

"Yeah, let's go give her this plate and tell her that we love her, okay?"

"Yep" I could hear the smile on his face.
A few seconds later he walked into the living room.

"Amelia" he smiled, as he slowly walked over to me.
He was obviously uncomfortable.

"Hi Corey. How are you?" I asked.

"I'm good. You?" he stood a few feet away from me.

"Don't I get a hug?" I spread my arms for him to walk into.

"Do you want one?" he asked, unsure.

"Of course I want one. I missed you, buddy. I've been waiting for your hugs for way too long"
With that, he was in my arms.

"I missed you too, Amelia. I'm sorry for getting mad at you"

"It's okay. I know you didn't mean it"

"I love you"

"I love you, too"

"I made you something"

"You did?"

"Yeah, come to the kitchen" he took my hand and led me to the kitchen.
On the counter, there was a plate with all different kinds of fruits, nicely cut up in pieces.

"Wow. Did you make that for me?"

"Yeah, I did. Daddy helped me, though"

"Wow. Thank you, Corey. I love it. Do you wanna join me? I don't think I can eat all of this by myself"

"Maybe mommy and daddy want some, too"

"Should we go ask them?"

"Okay" he took my hand and dragged me upstairs, to where is parents were now.

"Do you want to eat with us?" Corey asked them.
Drake was busy setting up the crib and Demi was arranging the room a little.

"No, it's fine. You two can have some alone time" Demi smiled.
Corey shrugged, as he pulled me downstairs with him again.

"Is that your sister?" he asked, pointing at Amanda.

"Yeah, she is"

"From your new family?"

"Yep"

"Do you like it there?"

"Yeah, it's nice. I like it here too, though"

"I actually wanted you to live here, but my mommy said you can't cause were not a foster family and you already have a new family"

"Yeah, I know"

"If you could choose, where would you want to live?"

"Oh, that's a hard one" I sighed.
Obviously, I liked it here a lot. But Ruby was actually really amazing and I liked it there, too.

"Think harder, then"

"Why do you wanna know?"

"Because I want to"

"I really don't know"

"So you like them, as much as you like me?"

"I like you a lot better then Debby. That's for sure" I chuckled.

"Do you like me more than that baby, too?"

"I love you both a lot, bud"

"I have a feeling you don't love us that much anymore"

"Why would that be?"

"Cause when you were here, you weren't really so happy and you are now. That means that your new family makes you happier then we do. So that means that you love them more"

"Corey, look, it's hard to explain. I love you both a lot. When I was here, I just wasn't ready yet. I wasn't ready to leave my past behind and move on. I wanted to go back to my real family. I didn't want a new family. But when I left here, I realized that this is my life now. My family is gone and I can't change that. The people I live with now, are the only ones I can call family now, cause I have no one else. I realized that this is my life and I gotta live it to the fullest, so I started moving on. I started becoming happier and enjoying what God gave me. That doesn't mean I don't still love you. You're like my little brother, bud. I love you a lot" I tried to explain to him.
He looked at me with big eyes, as his lower lip started to quiver.
Oh god, he's gonna cry.
What do I do now?
