Izzie had noticed how Amelia had been down. Especially since she had told her that she needed to stop seeing Tom. Deep down, she felt bad for it. But she didn't want Amelia to get hurt anymore.

That morning, Izzie made breakfast for Chlo, Mika and Amelia. She smiled as Amelia walked in. "Hey. You okay?" She asked.

"I'm fine. I'm not really hungry."

Izzie frowned. She looked at her sister and sighed. "Look, you know I'm only looking out for you. You're too young to have your life ruined by a relationship with an older man," she told her.

Amelia scoffed and shook her head. "But it won't ruin my life. I love him and he loves me. I only gave him up for you. Because I didn't want you to hate me," she said.

Amelia went into school and sighed. She saw Madison standing with her two girls. She walked over. "Izzie is driving me insane," she said as she picked up Poppy.

Madison grinned. "What's happened?" She asked.

"She's just going on about Tom and how he's going to ruin my life. I just don't know how that's possible. When we were away together, it was perfect. I only came back for Izzie. And now I feel like it was a huge mistake."

Madison sighed and looked at her. "Maybe she just doesn't want you hurting again? I know you love Tom and you want to be happy. But maybe she's saying that for a reason? Like she knows something."

"I don't know Madison. All I know is that she's driving me insane."

"If it gets too much for you, you can come and stay with me," Madison said as she looked at her.

Amelia nodded and smiled. She kissed Poppy's head. "This little girl brightens my day. Can I take you home with me?" Amelia asked Poppy.

Poppy shook her head. "No. I stay my mummy. But you come stay me," she told her.

"Okay. I can do that."

Madison smiled. "I should take these to the crèche. I still have my essay for Clarkson to finish. Fancy helping?" She asked.

Amelia smiled and nodded. "Yeah. Let's go. I can help you. I've already done it. Let's go," she told her.

Amelia sat in the common room. She looked up as Tom sat with her. "Izzie told me you have to stay away from me."

"Yeah. I'm just... I regret coming back here. I regret everything we did coming back here. I still love you Tom. And I don't want Izzie coming between us. But I just don't know how I'm meant to get through this. She won't let me be with you."

Tom sighed. "We can't leave again. Especially since we both got into trouble last time. I don't want to lose you again."

Amelia nodded. She took his hand. "Then we do this in secret. I'm going to go and stay with Madison for a bit. I'm sure she'll cover for us."

Tom nodded and discreetly kissed her hand. He looked to her. "We've got this. Okay?"

"Okay."

Amelia was sitting in her bedroom as she packed up her stuff. She sighed. But could she and Tom make their relationship work? Especially when it seemed like the odds were stacked against them.
