Amelia Roberts - The Person She Could've Been

CHAPTER TWO

Unsure whether to answer the phone, Amelia shook her head.
"I haven't heard from him in so long. Ever since he fired me."

She silenced the call and placed the phone face down on the counter, trying to push away the anxiety that had suddenly gripped her.
Amelia wasn't the type to let her emotions get the best of her, but being around Charlotte meant letting her guard down from time to time. Charlotte had always had a calming effect on the redhead.

Charlotte squeezed her shoulder. "You know you can talk to me, right?" she whispered. Mia nodded, though the heaviness in her chest remained.
They continued cooking, but the lighthearted mood from earlier had dimmed.

After a few hours of deafening silence, Amelia got up from the couch, turned to Charlotte, and said, "He only ever calls me when there's something serious that needs to be taken care of."

Charlotte straightened her posture and asked, "Well, what do you think he wants from you?"

Mia sighed, "I don't know, but I'm pretty sure I'll be getting another phone call soon."
