The Girl With The Green Eyes

Chapter 27 The End

Blake

The next day I woke up to no text from Amelia but a text from Riley.

Riley:I’m really sorry Blake. I overstepped. I understand if you don’t want to be friends anymore. But if you do I’m happy to show you around. Let me know.

As if. I want nothing to do with her. I decided to text Amelia before I got dropped off.

Blake: Amelia baby I love you. I miss you like crazy. I know you want space so I will give that to you but please talk to me soon. I need to clarify a lot of things baby. I would never betray you. I love you so much. More than anything. I hope you have a wonderful day, gorgeous. ❤️

I really liked the campus. It was pretty old school but they had a few new buildings too. It had an American university vibe to it. Quite different from Auckland uni. Orientation was intense and the campus was huge. But overall I really enjoyed my first day despite seeing Riley around. She looked like she really regretted everything that went down yesterday but thank God she didn’t approach me. I managed to hang out with Aster and Jacob since they were doing sciences as well. Aster was doing physics and Jacob was doing chemical engineering. I came home exhausted but still I had no message from Amelia. Every morning and evening I would text her throughout the week but everyday she ignored me. She never responded. And even though I was enjoying settling into my new Uni and making new friends, I couldn’t truly enjoy myself knowing that Amelia was hurting. By Thursday I was losing my mind so I decided since I had only one lecture in the morning on Friday and no labs this week I booked a flight back home. I needed to talk to her. We couldn’t keep going on like this. We were both hurting and we needed to clear the air between us.

Uncle Dan dropped me off since he works from home on Friday’s. My flight was from 12pm and it would take 6 and a half hours to get to Auckland. For some reason it was quicker to get back than to get here. I’d be arriving at 10:30pm Auckland time. I had no plan to go anywhere else. I was planning on catching an Uber back to our place and hoping like hell Amelia would still be up.

The flight felt like it was going on forever. Every minute felt like an hour. All I wanted was to have Amelia in my arms and put this misunderstanding behind us.

As soon as they let us off the plane I jumped at the opportunity to grab my bag and then went through customs. Thank god there wasn’t much of a line. By the time I arrived at our place, it was around 11:30 pm. The moment I was inside I threw my bag on the floor and gently knocked on our bedroom door before slowly entering.

Amelia was in bed with the lamp on, crying. She seemed shocked the moment she saw me walking through the door.

”Blake? What are you doing here?” She asks still in shock.

I slowly walked over to her and sat next to her on the bed taking her hands in mine.

“Baby, I can’t carry on like this. I needed to see you. To clarify our misunderstandings baby. I love you. I can’t do this without you baby. I came here to explain everything. I promise you nothing happened. Please just hear me out baby” I say softly rubbing my thumbs against the back of her hands.

I looked deeply into her eyes so she knew I was being serious and completely honest. She was silent a moment before she nodded her head for me to continue. I told her everything, even the things Riley said at the party because I didn’t want there to be any secrets between us. I told her how she grinded on me and how she was attracted to me. I explained every tiny detail and by the end of it I sat there patiently waiting for her reaction. The ball was in her court now.

“You didn’t cheat?” She asks, her voice cracking. She sounded so small and I hated that.

“I didn’t, baby. I would never. I love you too much” I say, as she launches herself into my arms. Her face quickly finding the crook of my neck as I tightly wrapped my arms around her, holding her as close to me as possible.
