amelie flood x sam golbach
chapter fifty-five || 🎬🤍🦢

   Having the worst most awkward date of your life was something every girl had to experience once (or several) times in their life. It was a right of passage, but these dates were the worse part of Amelie's existence. They were something she hated more than life.

   She didn't want to be here. She wanted to be on a plane back to LA so she could mend things and to quote her mother, "Fight for him." Him being Sam, but instead she was hiding in the bathroom on an awkward date with one of her father's coworkers sons. It seemed like the poor chap didn't want to be there either, but he faked an interest in her while Amelie didn't even want to know his name.

   She sat on top of the closed lid of the toilet. She had to give the place props because it was very clean for being a restaurant in the middle of London. Her leg bounced up and down rapidly as she tried to catch her breath. She had texted Carmen and hour ago trying to get the girl to fake an accident so she could leave, but the one night Carmen didn't seem to be on her phone was the one night Amelie needed her to be.

   Before she even knew what she was doing, she was swiping on the "favourites" section of her contacts app and tapping on Sam Golbach's name. She knew he'd answer. He always did.

    The phone rang for not even a couple seconds before she heard the beep indicating that he had in fact answered, "Amelie?" He whispered down the phone.

   She stayed completely silent. Her mouth opening and closing a few times before she felt her eyes well up and her throat begin to burn. Hearing him say just her name made her heart ache in ways beyond comprehension.

   "Amelie, are you there?" He asked louder this time. On the other side of the phone his hands shook violently, he had tried to call her multiple times since the last time they spoke, but he never could. Before he would even press on her name his phone would be across the room and his head would be in his hands. 

   She had given him everything he had wanted and dreamed about for months, but when the time came for him to answer her and tell her that he too wanted her, he couldn't. Now it was his time to be scared about what would happen if everything went to shit, but unlike when she was scared about the consequences, she didn't actually have to live through them.

"I'm so sorry." She apologised, her voice cracking as she did so. She blinked multiple times, trying to see clearly, "I don't know why I called—"

   "It's okay!" He rushed out, Amelie could basically see him run a hand through his hair, "Are you okay?" He asked softly and that what made her snap.

  Amelie let out a strangled sob. She placed her hand over her mouth, trying desperately not to make any noise. The hand over her mouth quickly went to her legs as she tried to soothe herself.

When she didn't answer he spoke up again, "Where are you?" He asked.

"I'm in some stupid dimly lit restaurant with my dad's coworkers son in London."

Sam decided not to comment on the last part, "Do you know where you are?"

Amelie shook her head even though he couldn't see her, "No, I just know it's beside some pub."

Sam paused for a moment, "Can you send me your location?"

Amelie furrowed her brow, he did realise they were across the world from one another right? "I'm in London, Sam. I'm not in LA."

"God, dammit, Amelie, just send me your location!" He stressed out. She could hear the unlocking of a car, but chose not to mention anything.

   With tears still streaming down her face, she quickly sent to blond her location and sniffled softly when he hearted the message like he usually did.

    "Go pay the bill if he hasn't already because knowing you you've been in the bathroom for at least an hour—"

   "—How'd you know I was in the bathroom?"

   "I know you." Three words and eight letters that sent Amelie over the edge again, "Go do that and then stand by the bar."

   "What are you doing?"

   "Coming to get you."

   Little did Amelie know Sam wasn't even ten miles away. After shooting a video in the ancient ram inn Jack Manifold had basically bullied Sam and Colby into driving back to London so they could go out.

   Little did Amelie know Sam would drop anything to go get her even if they were in a rocky path. If Amelie needed him he would be there.

we're gonna act like the video snc did with tommyinnit and jack manifold came out in like end of august because otherwise the timelines fucked up

call me a hater but i hate nesss barrett with every fibre of my being. i think promoting an ed to your primarily young impressionable audience is disgraceful and everyone has normalised it too much. "kianna, she's struggling!" so am i but you don't see me commenting "guys i ate today 🥺" wrap it up
