"Hey Matt?" Amelia called to her uncle as she climbed up the ladder to the Above.

"Yes dear? What is it?" He asked her working on something at his work table. She walked over and gave him a hug. "Alright, now I know you want something. You never give random big hugs in the morning before school."

He still didn't even look up from his work table. "Fine you win." she told him sitting on the corner of the work table. "I was going to ask if we could do a little weekend trip. We haven't gone to the cabin in forever. You used to take me there almost every month. I was wondering if we could do that this weekend. Just us, hanging out and relaxing. With everything going on in town we could use a good break." Amelia pleaded with her uncle.

Matt stopped and looked at her. It had been a while since they used the cabin. With Emma around, the curse would soon break and Rumple would lose one of the only people, if not the only person that cared about him. He often wondered what would happen to them after the curse broke. Would she be in danger for being close to him during the curse? Would she hate him? Did he unknowingly kill someone she cared about?

"I will think about it. There is a large storm coming so I want you to come right home from school today. No hanging out Henry or Jacob." he told her with a small smile.

"I have work at Granny's today. I will go to work right after school, instead of stopping home first. That way I can leave sooner and then we can talk about when we will go to the cabin." she compromised. Matt nodded and she left to head to school.

RING RING! She saw it was Jacob. "Hey you, what's up?" she asked him, setting her backpack in the backseat of her car.

"Nothing much, I was just trying to remember who's turn it is to drive to school." Jacob told her. She shook her head at him smiling.

"It's my turn as you know. If it was your day you would have been sitting in the driveway for ten min already." she told him as she started to drive to his house. "I'm almost there so see you in a bit." Amelia hung up the phone and listened to the music in the car.

As she pulled into his driveway Amelia saw he was standing there waiting for her. "Good morning, Lia." he said, sitting down and giving her a quick kiss on the cheek, making her blush. Even after being together for a month he still made her blush with ease.

"Morning sweetie." she told him as she drove them to school. Since the Evil Four had their classes moved so Amelia would never have to see them, school got a lot better. She no longer worried for her life every Friday and could sleep without fear for the day to come. Amelia was still plagued by nightmares but they were not as bad.

English went by very fast as always. Then the morning went on forever with science, history, then math. Amelia went to her locker to pick up her lunch unsurprised to see Jacob waiting for her. "Milady, your lunch." he handed her her lunch. He remembered her combo from the day she had dumped paint on Steve's head.

"Thanks Jacob. Where do you wanna eat today?" she asked putting her things for her morning classes away and taking the stuff for her afternoon classes. They changed where they eat most days. He was used to eating in the heart of the lunch room, as he was very popular. She ate in the library away from everyone.

"How about the lunch room? Some of my friends still want to meet you." Jacob told her placing an arm around her shoulder.

"Okay," Amelia told him, taking a deep breath. "Just promise to stay by me." She was not great with making new friends. It was even harder for her when they were a bunch of chaotic boys. She had nothing in common with them.

"No. I'm just gonna tell my friends you're my girlfriend, show you where they are and walk away." he joked sarcastically. "Of course I'm gonna stay with you babe. Let's eat." together they walked into the lunchroom. Once they were in view they got a bunch of looks. Amelia looked down not even bothering to know what the students were saying, she knew what they were saying. Why is that loser with the coolest guy in school? Is her uncle blackmailing him into dating her? What does he even see in her, it's not like she is pretty?
