The Willow tree I admire

One

Amelia Summers has always known that she falls for people way too often and way too quickly. There was Lily James in 5th grade, Susanna Reid in 6th, Jamie Hilton in 7th, Rebecca Smith in 9th and Rose Turner in 10th. Amelia could and has fallen for many girls in her lifetime even dated a couple, However no one has ever compared to how she feels about Willow Rosenberg.

Willow has been Amelia's best friend since second grade. Willow's Brown colouring pencil had broke and Amelia gave her her one.

Over time as Amelia admired Willow up close and from afar, she had accepted that Willow would never be interested in her as more than a friend. Those thoughts were proven correct when Willow got together with Oz.

When Oz left Willow heartbroken Amelia did everything she could to make sure she was okay, they had spent many nights watching movies and talking about those they found cute. That's how Amelia found out about Tara, She was the first person Willow told about the blonde haired girl Amelia figured it was because she herself was out as a lesbian and Willow found comfort in that.

It was an understatement to say that Amelia was sad about the fact that Willow and Tara were an item, in fact she was almost heartbroken about it. She was happy for Willow, as happy as she could be, Her best friend had found herself and for the first time in her life felt complete. There was no reason for Amelia to feel so negatively about the whole situation except she found herself feeling jealous, the thoughts at the back of her brain telling her it should've been her and Willow. Those thoughts clouded her mind so often it clouded her judgment on Tara, she felt bad.

Amelia wanted to get away, she needed to get away just for a while so she packed her bags and spent the summer at her uncle Shawn's house in New York City.

And that brings her to today, three days before the new school year starts. Amelia drove in the backseat of her uncles car through the streets of Sunnydale pulling up outside the magic box shop.

Exiting the car she grabbed her suitcase and bags with the help of her uncle. Smiling up at the sign of the shop she sighed.

"It's great to be back!"

"Was New York really that bad lia?"

A Brown haired boy stood beside her a cheeky smirk planted on his lips, his dark brown eyes looking back at her own bright blue ones. Logan Hunter has been Amelia's closest friend for the last 4 years, she had met him 4 summers ago when Amelia took her first solo trip to see her uncle Shawn. Logan had been kicked out of his parents house for dropping out of high school, Shawn had taken him in as his own, Shawn often thought of Logan as his son. Amelia knew the feeling was mutual Logan had told her himself after slipping up by calling him 'Dad' though Logan would never admit that to Shawn even on his death bed.

"No i- I'm just happy to see my sister, and anya, xander and Giles and-"

"And Willow..."

Logan knew everything about Amelia's love life and how she feels about Willow. Amelia hadn't planned on telling him about Willow at all but after they got drunk one night he had kissed her and confessed to liking her as more than a friend. That's when Amelia sat him down and told him everything, she had thought she'd lose him as a friend forever but he was really supportive and they stayed close friends which Amelia was grateful for.

"And Willow yes but also Tara..."

Amelia had a worried look in her eyes causing Logan to place a comforting hand on her shoulder.

"Everything will be okay, if it ever gets overwhelming you know you have me to talk to."

The blonde haired girl squeezed the brown haired boys hand in gratitude before picking her bags back up and walking through the shop door.

The bell rang as the door opened causing everyone to look their way. They all ran up to her hugging her tight. First was her twin sister Buffy, Then Anya, Xander, Giles, Riley, An awkward wave to Tara and then finally Willow stepped up jumping up and town excitedly wrapping her arms around the Blonde who reciprocated the hug just as tightly back.

"Hey starshine! You need to stop going away every summer! I miss you too much!"

Amelia pulled away smiling at the nickname Willow had been calling her since they were 5 years old.

"Hey I stayed the summer Buffy went away!"

"And wasn't I bummed about it."

Everyone turned to look at Logan with questioning eyes, everyone except Buffy who gave him a hug hello.

"Everyone this is Logan Hunter, He's my friend from New York-"

"Thank you Amelia for helping me with your bags I appreciate it.."

Shawn entered the shop immediately earning a squeal from Buffy.

"OH MY GOSH UNCLE SHAWN!!"

Buffy jumped up hugging their uncle who lifted her up in the air like a child.

"Hey Bunny! I've missed you so much!!"

Xander opened his mouth to say something but Amelia elbowed him in the rib to shut it down earning a glare from the tall boy.

"What is with all the squealing?"

Everyone turned towards the staff bathroom door, a young brunette girl walking over to them. This time it was Amelia's turn to squeal as she ran up to the girl lifting her off the ground and spinning her around.

"DAWN!! when did you move from dad's?"

Dawn giggled holding her sister's hand.

"At the start of summer, you had already gone to New York by then."

Amelia hugged her little sister one last time then stood back to look at her.

"I can't believe how much you've grown! Oh my gosh! We have so much to catch up on!"
