Mias pov

It's been a few days since that happened with me and my dad. He's basically back to being that over protective teddy bear like he used to be. I have recovered since I only passed out its not like I got sick.

Also it's the weekend so no school.

I can't stop thinking about what happened to Amelia though.. That guy.. I think his name was Derek. Killed both her parents. Since that day she hasn't really talked all that much. And yes I know she doesn't talk much in general but this is different... She hasn't said a word..

Right now I'm in my living room, sitting on the massive couch with a blanket wrapped around me and eating some snacks. I decided to have a lazy day since it is the weekend. I'm watching the owl house on the tv btw.

Dad has gotten a bit too overprotective lately. Since that happened with The Killers he's even nervous about me going out with Amelia even though she's my bodyguard. But one look from my puppy eyes and my pout convinces him right away. Luckily for him I aint going out today.

After a while Amelia walks into the room and then stands at the door obviously putting on the bodyguard act. She must have finished whatever my dad wanted her to do it was probably a money heist or something like that. I look at her with soft eyes and sigh. "Amelia can you sit with me?"

She looks at me with her famous serious face and nods before walking over and sitting beside me. I smile at her but she's just looking up at the tv. "Thank you for protecting me" My tone is shy.

Amelia looks at me with these glazing. Eyes of hers and smiles ever so slightly. "Your welcome.." her tone is low as she tries to keep it professional. My expression then changes from a happy one to a more serious but sad one... "you haven't been the same since that day Amelia.. Im worried about you." I put my hand ontop of hers.

Amelia looks at out hands and then back up at me before sighing and looking away. "I'm fine."

I narrow my eyes and raise my eyebrow at her. "Fine? Really? Don't lie to me Amelia. That guy we ran into he... Did some bad things.. And that included your parents-"

"I said...im fine Mia." She says in a low, terrifying tone while looking at me with dark eyes...almost a glare. It scares me.. I pull my hand back and look at her with a nervous face and I nod. This must be a sensitive topic for her... "Oh um.. Ok I'm sorry.." I bite my lip and look down at my hands. I hate it when people get mad with me since I'm pretty emotional so I tear up... I feel guilty..

Amelias pov

Mia is on thin ice right now. I hate talking about my parents, that's why I've been so silent. So I just give her the cold shoulder once she tries to talk with me about what happened and she gets the hint obviously.... But i wasn't prepared to see her tear up.

Shit

I never meant for this to happened. Now I feel really bad. I should've know she would take it personally. It's Mia for God's sake..

My expression softens as I see her hug herself and cry softly.. God why do i hate seeing her cry? I just wish she could always be happy and have that beautiful smile that I love so much on her face all the time.. But it doesn't work like that. I reach out and wrap my arms around her slowly, trying not to scare her even more. "Hey.. Dont cry..." I say in a soft, comforting voice.

Mia nuzzles into my chest and cries silently. "I'm sorry.. Im such an idiot I should have known this would upset you." she says into my chest in a heartbreaking tone. "shh.. It's OK I forgive you.. Im sorry I got so mad.. You were just looking out for me that's all." I sigh. She was looking out for me. She's worried about me and i just shrugged her off.. Maybe I should tell her about my parents... I've never told anyone. Yes, boss knows but I never told him that I literally watched them die at 13 years old.

Mia clings to me and her cries are starting to calm down... Oh and did I mention that she was practically on my lap at this point? God if her dad seen us like this he would no doubt end me.

"I've never told anyone the story.." i look down at her with a nervous look on my face.. She looks at me with her adorable blue eyes while wiping away her tears. "You don't have to tell me if you dont want to.."

She's right. I dont. I actually don't know why I'm telling her. I guess I just trust her.... Or something else... No it cant be that. I'm her bodyguard her dad is my boss. I cannot fall for her.

"no it's OK... It will be good to get it off my chest." I say with a slight smile on my face. I hope she didn't notice the blush though.. She smiles and nods as if telling me to go ahead.

"I was 13 when it happened. My childhood was amazing. My mom and dad absolutely adored me and I adored them..." She looks at me with a straight face as she listens and nods a little throughout. "I grew up with not much money and because of that my dad got involved with that gang and he got into serious trouble... He was meant to owe money back to Them but couldn't.. So in result..." I clench my fists. I didn't realise that my face was getting angrier and angrier.

Mia puts her hand back on top of mine again and smiles softly. Somehoq that calms down and I take a deep breath and continue." The bad part is that I was in the room when it happened.. My parents.. I watched them get murdered by that bastard.." Mia gasps tears form in my eyes.. This is the first time I've said this out loud and tbh it feels nice to get it off my chest.

I feel a soft hand on my cheek and it wipes away my tears. My gaze makes it's way to Mia and she speaks in her sweet and comforting tone. "I never knew you have been through so much..."

The next thing I know I start crying.. I've never allowed myself to cry infront of anyone except my mom and dad.. But i just couldn't take it anymore.. Mia pulls me in for a hug and whispers in my ear. "Shh I'm here... You can let it out.." Her soft voice is so soothing to me.. I just lay my head on her shoulder and cry.. I can feel her shirt getting wet but i needed this.. "Thank you.. Mia..." I say in a weak and hoarse voice. Her hand starts playing with my hair. "Your welcome Amelia."


A few months later


Me and Mia have definitely gotten... closer over the past few months.. She's more clingy than usual. I constantly have to remind her that her dad could walk right through them doors at any minute and all I get in return is a pout and a grumpy look on her face.

"come on.. My dad won't do anything.." she says in a whiney tone.

"To you maybe. He would definitely kill me if he saw his daughter being so close to her bodyguard." I narrow my eyes at her and cross my arms. She smirks and tugs at my shirt and looks at me with puppy eyes. "Please?"..... Curse those adorable eyes.... Even her tone is cute..

"Fine.."

Mia smiles and giggles slighty. Probably because she knows them puppy eyes always work. She wraps her arms around me and lays her head on my shoulder i wrap one arm around her shoulder and pull her closer to me. She probably thinks of this as like platonic friend cuddling but me... God no wonder I've fallen for her.
