Amalia's past

He's holding my hand as we get into the school. I look at the way he holds my hand and he blushes. One can't notice it at first sight but I know, I see there's a slight red in his cheek it's there everytime. I smile I can't believe we are together dating eachother my heart swells at this thought. It feels so surreal. Days pass so does months. He takes care of me like no one else like he told me he'll take care of me and my lilies like he takes care of his mother and he does.
One night he was at my room we were cuddling and watching "it happened one night" Just like one night out of nowhere he kissed me and here I go blushing again so yeah that thought crossed my mind, but actually it never left since his lips crashed into mine for the very first time. His hand interrupts my thoughts as they lay on my thighs rubbing them subconsciously as the movie goes on I hide a smile.I feel heated up, I've never felt like this before. I turn my head to find him staring on the screen. I pout and look back at the screen.
"Anything wrong Amy" he asks
"No-uh" I reply.
I swear I can see him smiling from the corner of my eye. He shuts the laptop and I turn towards him, " why did you do that." In reply he brushes his lips against mine. I can feel his heart racing just like mine as his hands move from my neck lower to my waist.
CRASHHHHH.......we move apart and look towards the door. Broken pieces of God knows what is scattered all over the floor and mom is covering her mouth with both of her hands. As our eyes meet she gasps, "I should have knocked first, Rhys
Elenor will be so happy to know about this." She smiles and leans down to pick the broken pieces. I climb down the bed and look towards Rhys he follows and together we clean up the floor.
Now we are sitting on the sofa. I thank god that Dad is working late today. Infront of us sits my mom, she looks calm just like the sky before the storm. Rhys is looking down on our carpet. ~Akward silence~ . "Since when" my mom inquires. "A month" I reply and look down at the carpet. Rhys keeps his hand on mine assuring me, he speaks " Mrs. Brooke I really like Amelia really _"
"Like"
"I love her and it's me who kissed her and asked her to date me it's my fault please. Is she allowed to date "
"Allowed " she scoffs. "Amelia is my daughter, not my prisoner and Rhys I've seen you growing up. You are a wonderful child really and I'm really happy that you guys are seeing eachother" I look at my mother she.is.smiling. What the hell is it real or am I dreaming. "I was just caught off-guard " she continues " I was just bringing you kids some snacks and yes to inform you that this weekend we are going to los Angeles for a teeny tiny vacation Mr Ackroyd asked us to join him there". "Dad really " Rhys gasp. "Yes really" Rhys mother speaks entering the room and sits beside mom. "That's great news really I miss dad" Rhys chimes. Rhys mom eyes Rhys and his hand placed over mine. Rhys understands what she wants to say and removes his hand. His mom looks at me apologizing " Rhys must be excited hope you don't mind Amy" Mom opens her mouth but looks between me and Rhys before saying anything and decides not to tell her bestfriend, Elenor. Yet. "Anything wrong, Trinity" Elenor asks
My mom smiles, "Nothing Ele just thinking how fast Rhys and Amy have grown up, right." Elenor smiles and agrees.
"Amy will you help me bring some snacks." Mom calls out from the kitchen. I smile and walk towards her. "Rhys is something going on between you and Amy, you know we can't let this happen and you know why. Have you forgotten or have you told her about this" I hear Rhys mom whispering to him. Well thats quite loud for a whisper but mom doesn't seem to notice. She hands me the plates and i walk towards them smiling. What are they hiding. I've known them for years know what could they possibly hide. Elenor is my mom's bestfriend and I'm Rhys bestfriend as well as girlfriend. Is it something to do with his fertility or something of his past. I continue thinking about it as I put a brocolli in my mouth.
"I thought you hate brocollies" Rhys smile and I come back to the present. "Yeah I do. Duhh how silly" I stick out my tongue and laugh the most fake laugh of my life. Rhys seem to notice that but we continue stuffing the food in my mouth. Rhys and Elenor always have been a fan of my mother's cooking skills. I know she cooks good but I'm not a fan it's something I always have been eating till the days I remember. Rhys helps me to load the dishes and his eyes doesn't meet mine. "Rhys?"
"Mmhmm"
"Is there something troubling you?"
"Nope, just that your mother found about us, it's very difficult to hide things from their best friends, I dunno when she will tell my mom about it about us"he sighs.
"Is there a problem if your mum knows about us?"I ask further
"Yes there is...also there is something you don't know about me..yet."
"After all these years there are still secrets, things you r hiding from me. Rhys I'm your bestfriend. Have you forgotten that!?" My voice comes much louder than I had intended it to be. I don't wait for Rhys to say anything I shut the dish washer and stomp towards my room with out looking at either of our moms. I don't know how I'm supposed to go on a vacation after 2days with him when things are this complicated.
It's been a day since Rhys had messaged me or tried to talk to me. I wish he had rushed behind me and held my wrist to stop me when I left him at the kitchen all by himself. I'm mad at him because he hid things from me because he let me go without an explanation also because he didn't even try to contact me or tried to make things any better between us. I'm really having serious doubts about him, about us, about my bestfriend.
It's been two days now and I'm pissed super pissed. Rhys Ackroyd you are a dead meat. We are sitting in the plane and he sits just across me and he still has the guts to ignore me. He hasn't spoken a word yet. He's reading a book which I gifted him on his birthday last year. Rhys you really need to read that and learn something from the fictional men. I shove my anger back to me and look out of the windows. The last thing I want is to let Rhys see how hurt I'm. All the anger I shoved in me fall out in the form of tears and yet he sits unbothered. This was a wrong decision. The worst decision I've ever made.
