Wrong, but right {Waterloo road}

Amelia and Tom had been meeting up at Madison's. Amelia felt bad for lying to her sister. But she just didn't want Izzie to hate her.

That morning Amelia walked into the living room and sat with her best friend. She sighed. "This is a mess. I can't be with the man I love. I have to meet up with him in secret. And I'm sick of it. I just... I don't know. I wish everything would go back to how it used to be. And I know that's not going to happen."

Madison smiled. "It will be okay. You and Tom will be together soon. You know that right?" She said.

"I don't know anymore. I really don't. I just feel like everything we went through was for nothing. And I'm scared. Scared that he won't want to know me anymore. Or that he will find someone else," Amelia admitted.

Madison rolled her eyes. "Why would he find anyone else when he has a babe like you? Trust me. You're more than okay."

"I hope so."

Amelia went into school. She saw Izzie looking at her. Amelia sighed. "What did I do now?" She asked.

Izzie laughed. "Morning to you too. I'm just checking to see how you're doing. You've been at Madison's for a while now. Is it okay?"

Amelia nodded and smiled. "Yeah. I love being there. I help her with the girls and she helps me with my work," she said.

"Good. She's a clever girl. But the girls can be hectic."

"Yeah. Listen. I need to go. I'll be late otherwise," Amelia said as she walked off.

Izzie couldn't help but feel like Amelia was keeping something from her. And she was worried.

Amelia sighed as Tom walked into the common room. She looked around to make sure that no one saw them. "This is risky isn't it?" She asked.

Tom smiled. "I'm just talking to you about an essay. That's all," he told her.

Amelia nodded and smiled. "How about tonight, you come to Madison's? She won't mind."

"Erm sure. Won't she mind?" Tom asked as he looked to her.

Amelia smiled. "No. She told me to ask you. It will be okay."

Tom looked to her and smiled. He knew that he wanted to make it work with Amelia. But he knew that the odds were stacked against them.

Amelia sat in class and sighed. She knew that she and Tom were fighting against everyone. They wanted to make it work.

Amelia looked up as izzie walked in. She smiled. "Hey. Can I borrow Amelia please?" She asked.

Amelia stood up and followed Izzie out of the classroom. Izzie looked to her. "I want the truth. And I mean the proper truth."

"Go on?"

Izzie sighed. "Have you. Or have you not, been seeing Tom Clarkson in secret?" She asked as she looked to her.

Amelia stood in shock. She had no idea how to answer that. She knew that whatever she answered would change everything.

Izzie stood there. She was clearly annoyed. "I'm waiting."

"I can't answer that. You can't ask me to answer that."

Izzie nodded and looked to her. "You can get out of my house. If you're seeing him after I told you not to, then I don't want you there."

Amelia stood in shock. But she had no idea just how this was going to ruin everything.
