The Grass Is Always Greener

Chapter 13 ~ Its Too Late To Apologise

Amys Point Of View

I pulled myself out of bed. Saturday. I sighed. As i had a shower and brushed my teeth i thought of ways to get out of this. Gillian was too upset about Alex disappearing to even step out the house, let alone make plans with.

Emma was spending all her time In the hospital looking after a highly drugged dan that was positive if she left his room they'd both be killed by some kind of mythic alien creature, so she couldn't come. Hayley was making sure Emma had enough food and water whilst dan was practically holding her hostage, and also providing much needed sane conversation when dan had passed out.

Rhona had gone off on a holiday with PJ.. And I don't even want to think about what they're currently doing. I bet they haven't even left the hotel room once yet.

There was Christian... But I couldn't possibly tell Tom i couldn't meet up because i was seeing another guy. God knows what he'd do. And I did promise him. I suppose I'd better go.

I walked to the arranged meeting place my stomach tying itself into knots of worry. This could only end badly. I stood on the corner, waiting, concentrating on trying to keep calm.

My breathing hitched when i saw it. That familiar flash of electric blue making its way towards me. Tom.

He saw me and smiled, i remember when that smile used to make my heart flutter but now it just made my stomach turn.

He walked over, sweeping his blue hair out his eyes.

"Amy.." He breathed.

"Tom." I replied curtly.

"It's been a long time."

"It has"

"I still love you"

Christ that was straight to the point.

"Eh."

"Please Amy.. Take me back. Come on.. I know i was crazy and i made some bad decisions.. But think of us.. I doubt you'll be able to find Someone better than me. Im smart, im funny, im handsome.. And im begging you to take me back"

Arrogant bastard.

"Tom.. We ended it. That's it. Im not coming back. I've moved on. I think you should too."

His hazel eyes narrowed..

"What do you mean... Moved on?"

"Eh."

"Amy.. Are you cheating on me?"

I let out and exasperated yell.. There was no telling this guy.

"TOM! We have to be dating for me to cheat on you... It's been six months. Grow a fucking pair and move on."

"Who is he?!" Tom snarled.

"What does it matter? Tom im not coming back.. You need to accept that.. And until you do that.. I can't help you." I sighed, turning to walk away

"Don't you dare walk away from me." He threatened.

"Goodbye Tom" i said and walked away.

I waited until i turned the corner and then i ran. I ran as fast as i could. There was no way in hell i was going back to mine. Tom knows where I moved to. I needed to find somewhere he won't find me.

I ran past the hospital... The hospital... Emma!

I turned in at the last minute and ran in, i walked up the stairs to Dans ward. Emma was sat up with dan lying asleep by her side, his head in her lap.

I walked in..

"He..." I started

"Ssh!" Emma interrupted.

I looked at her questioningly.

"I just got him to sleep. And trust me.. After sitting through 5 hours of him telling me how I would die if i left the bed and how we were all doomed... I'd rather he stayed asleep for a while." She whispered, her hands fumbling with a piece of fabric.

"What are you doing?" I asked quietly.

"Cross stitching.. I figured that if im going to be stuck here For a while, i Might as well do something productive." She smiled, "anyway.. What's up?"

"Toms found me." I muttered.

"Oh shit.. As in Tom your ex? Tom the arrogant tool? Tom the creepy stalker? That Tom?" She asked, her eyes widening in worry.

"Yeah... And he knows where my house is.. So i was wondering.. Seen as how you're staying here for a while, if it would be alright if i crashed at your place for a bit?"

"Of course, the keys are in my bag." She smiled.

"Thanks.. Right I'll leave you to look after the space cadet and be on my way" i grinned, grabbing the keys and setting off.

"Ok.. See you... Be careful Amy.."

"I will!" I yelled back.

Toms POV

I watched Amy walk out the hospital.. What's wrong? She better not be hurt.. The only person thats allowed to hurt her is me. And that's only when its completely necessary.

I pulled my hood up, hiding my blue hair and set off down the street after her. She walked along, occasionally glancing behind her, but its alright, I stayed out of sight.

She turned up a driveway.. I didn't recognise this house. This wasnt the house she came out earlier.. But never the less she pulled out the keys and opened the door.

I must of got the house wrong earlier.. The door shut, giving me a chance to walk up and inspect the house.. I walked around the back, looking up. I saw an open window on the first floor. A wooden grate was nailed to the wall and honeysuckle and ivy grew up it. I pulled a section of the grate... Strong enough to hold my weight.. In fact it looked like bits of the plants had been worn down already.

I reached up and hauled myself up the grate.. I put both my hands on the open window ledge and pulled myself in. I landed in a girls bedroom, not Amy's bedroom. Pictures covered one wall and snippets of song lyrics were spread over the remaining 3 walls. I looked at the pictures, the were mainly of a girl and a guy... The girl looked familiar....

Emma... Amy's old friend.. And the guy was her boyfriend I'm guessing.. Dark hair, dark eyes.. I remember amy having a conversation with Emma about how Emma always liked dark eyes..

So this was Emma's house.. Made sense.. Maybe Amy lived with her..

I opened the bedroom door and started down the stairs, i saw Amy sat on the couch watching the tv. A smile played on my lips as i stepped off the stairs and walked towards the living room.
