Amelia Lane

'No Vincent! This is not you', the television screams in to the distance between the living room and kitchen. I fucking hate the open floor plan.

I make a disgusted face and nod at one of my guards to turn the horrid sound off and continue my walk to the kitchen to grab something to eat. I throw open the fridge and eye down the contents. My eyes come to one singular apple sitting on its own, in the middle of the fridge. On its own. No other food. Alone in the fridge.

I look down feeling a thick, sticky texture, pooling at my feet. I glance at the guard with his throat slit open, blood draining from him as he lays still.

What the fuck?

TV on a dramatic romance channel but I didn't even turn it on, one RED apple, blood. I sigh with a slight smile at the thought that—

"SCARLET" I scream facing the direction of the space that connects the living room and kitchen.

Scarlet comes padding into the kitchen with her blood covered dagger in her hand. I raise an eyebrow at her and she chuckles, squealing. She runs into my arms that are now wide open, and I pull her into a tight hug.

"You're back already??" I ask her with a huge smile now resting on my face.

She nods, "well I'm here right now, aren't I?" I playfully slap her shoulder and quickly pull her back into a hug.

"Guess who" I hear from behind me as hard hands cover my eyes. "Hmm, let me think."  I turn my whole body to face the voice.

I squeal, jumping up and hooking my legs around his hard, much more built torso. I place my hands around his neck and rest my head in to the crook of his neck.

"Hey" Miles whispers into my ear. I chuckle as I pull back, feeling a kiss being placed on my forehead. "Hey" I grin back at him as he places me back onto the marble floors and wraps his arms around my waist with my hands still around his neck. "I missed you." He states as he puts his forehead against mine.

"I missed—" um, if you don't mind, I would like to have my best friend back" Scarlet says through a fake toothy smile, cleaning her dagger and placing it in her bra. We laugh as I pull back from Miles' grip.

"And I would like to spend time with my girlfriend, if YOU don't mind Scar" he says with his eyebrow raised and his arms crossed.

"Fuck off Miles, you always got to have her when we were here last" she crosses her arms to match her brothers energy. They both stare at each other until it turns into there signature glare-offs as I like to call it.

"Uh-uh-uh-uh" I say quickly as they both move there stares to me. I sigh, I hate sharing these childish siblings.

I mean, I love them both so much but having Miles as my boyfriend and Scarlet as my best friend is challenging. First I have Scarlet telling me that her brother is a jerk and that he's gonna play me then I have Miles telling me how annoying his sister is and I can't say shit about any of those conversations because I love them both.

We used to all fight when we were younger but when we started growing up we had different views on the world. It was me, Scar, Miles and Avery against this fucked up world. With Miles and Avery being the oldest, Scarlet and I would look up to them but either way we were a family. That obviously all changed when Avery died.

I turn to Miles' softening gaze, "How about i hang out with Scar today and you can take me out tonight" i offer. He thinks about it for a second before he smirks and nods. He pulls me into him again by my waist and catches me off guard as he leans down and smashes his lips into mine for the first time in 2 months.

I sigh into the distant memory of his kisses. I pull back and smile at him as he crosses his arms over his chest again with a smirk.

"Have fun baby" he says as Scarlet drags me out of the kitchen with a scoff, up the stairs to my bedroom.

She closes the door behind her and jumps onto my bed with an audible 'Oof'.

"Sooo" I start, "how was Mexico?" I ask jumping onto my bed beside Scarlet.

"Well, we got to see Vanessa and that was good" she says with a sigh. Her Mom, Vanessa, was a Coke addict which is why, before her and Miles went into the Legal system, my parents took them in when they were 5 and 6.

"Yeah? How is Vanessa?" I ask pulling her into a side hug. She has had a tough life in the mafia. My father had to put her and Miles through a series of tests, as soon as they both came of age, to see if they were loyal. Of course me and my sister had to go through the same tests but the conditions weren't as bad.

She shrugs and sighs again.

"That bad?" I ask. She nods and closes her eyes, letting me know she doesn't want to talk about it anymore.

I pull the covers of my bed down and we shimmie underneath them, getting cuddled up before I switch on the TV.

"Vampire Diaries?" I ask. She nods and giggles.

We both sigh at the sight as Ian Somerhalder covers the screen.

And that was the last thing I saw before sleep took over my body.

"Milie" I hear my nickname being called out. I jolt up and slap the space around me.

"Ow what the fuck Amelia" I look to my left to see a very confused Miles holding his face in pain.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry Baby" I say as i pull his face closer and place a kiss on where I had slapped him.

"We have dinner reservations at 8 baby" he says as I get off my bed. I smile at the thought of having a real conversation with my boyfriend again in over two months.

I nod, "okay I'll start getting ready now" I say as I lean up for a kiss. It was a small sweet kiss but it will have to do for now. He walks out without another word.

I have been dating Miles for 6 months now. It started off as a fuck buddy kinda thing but we fell for each other, not in the way I thought people were supposed to love each other but none the less I still love him.

A soft material makes contact with my face as I turn towards my bed. I look down to see a half asleep Scarlet and a pillow where I had just been attacked. She's still asleep? How did she-

"You're leaving me for a douche ya know" she mumbles. I chuckle and stalk towards her holding her face in my hands.

"I love you just as much though" I mumble as I lean in to place a kiss on her forehead.

"Yeah yeah love you too" she says trying to hide her smile.

"Stop being so heartless" I mumble.

"Says you, Miss Imbrobus" she chuckles.

She has a great point.
