This is why I Fell for you

Chapter 19

I kept seeing Achilles. He is a nice guy and he made me feel really special. No one else was doing that and I didn't think I should get back with Joey. Joey still tried though and I wouldn't give him the time of day. Achilles wanted to be official but I really wasn't in the place for it yet. My aunt, uncle and cousins were going to on a family trip and I told them to just leave me behind so I could stay with Amelia. Mel and I hadn't hung out since I got here and I needed to just tell her everything.

"Hi baby!" She said swinging her front door open.

"Hi boo!" I dropped my bags and gave her a huge hug.

"I can't believe you're actually here! Let me look at you!" She said spinning me. She was acting like an old relative.

"Oh jeez i have so much to tell you." I said.

"Well lets get you inside lil bitch!" I picked up my bag and put it in her room.

"Where are you parents?" I asked.

"An island." She answered.

"And they just left you here?"

"Yeah. They hate me. This is why lately I have been lashing out by hooking up with guys and drinking." She responded. Amelia never had a good relationship with her family. She was always neglected because she is in the middle. She has a smart, beautiful and plain perfect older sister and a younger sister who is just as perfect as the oldest. She handled it well when I was in Oregon and I guess when I left she didn't know how to handle it anymore.

"Amelia, you can't do this to yourself, it isn't safe!"

"Who cares Savannah! No one here cares about me! You were like the only one who listened to me,who cared about me." She yelled.

"That's not true Amelia! Everyone here loves you! Sure we were best friends but you had other people here too."

"Savannah do you not understand? Everything fell apart when you left. You were the glue that held everyone in their place. If you hadn't left everything could have stayed the same. I'm sure the people you left in New York are like, flipping out as we speak. Speaking of New York, what ever happened with Jack?" She sad changing the subject.

"Does everything have to turn into a c about Jack!?" I yelled.

"What?"

"I'm not with him anymore! Why does he matter?"

"Because he very obviously does matter to you." She said.

"I'm going to shower." I said getting up. It started to thunder and lightening. I always got so nervous when that happened. I hated showering in thunder and lightening. When i was finally done I was relieved. I heard Amelia talking to someone down stairs. I had no idea who it was. It couldn't have been Achilles i didn't tel him where i was. Joey Maybe? Maybe it was Sara or Jen. I had no idea.

"SAV!? YOU OUT OF THE SHOWER?" Amelia yelled up to me.

"YEAH, WHY?" I called back.

"YA DECENT?" She called again.

"YES!" And in walks Jack. I let out a loud breath. I got wide eyed.

"Hi." She said.

"It's you." I said softly. He walked towards me.

"Yeah. It's me baby. It's me."

"It's really you." I said touching him. "I cant believe you're here." I stared crying a bit.

"Why are you crying? Don't cry." he said wiping my tears.

"This is unreal. How can you...i'm sorry." I said. I put my head against his chest.
