5SOS: A Dream

Chapter 16: Amy

Elia's POV

The bell rang for my next period, and I walked out alone of my class, say a small goodbye to Ashton. I spent the entire class just drowning myself in my music, chanting to myself that I didn't regret it, but....

I regret it all!!! I wish I was still friends with Luke. He is the bestest friend I ever had, except for Jackie, of course. He made me laugh even when I didn't want to, he told the worst jokes, he was there for me, and we had a great understanding of each other. I miss him, I really do.

But I'm not going to chase after him anymore. I've had enough of his stubbornness. He can go suck on Amy's--ow!

I rubbed my head, and glared at the door in front of me, then sighed.

'Stupid door,' I thought, then walked around it. I briefly glanced inside of the room as I passed by, and then I stopped in my tracks.

There she was. Amy and Chase were in the empty classroom, holding each other. They weren't making out, but it seemed as if they were just enjoying each other's presence, and even though I kind of hate her, I thought the whole thing looked cute.

I quickly put my back to the wall next to the door and listened in. Hey, what can I say? I'm curious. Don't judge.

"How much longer until you break up with him, Amy? I hate being with you in secret. I want everyone to know you're mine." He said to her in a muffled voice, probably because he has his face on her shoulder.

I heard her sigh. "We still have to wait a while. If I break up with him now, he'll definitely know something is up. I wanted to hurt him, but if I do it now, he'll be crushed, and I don't really want to see him be too hurt."

"But isn't that why you lied to him about Elia? To hurt him and make him feel lonely when he and Elia aren't friends anymore?"

"Well, yeah, but...I don't know. Elia and I were friends before, and I know how she'll handle this. She'll stop being his friend, and then she'll start to hate him, and when he asks for forgiveness, she'll definitely forgive him because that's just who she is."

"Then why hasn't she forgiven you?"

There was a pause and I held my breath. I was surprised by how well she knew me.

"She already has, Chase. She just fakes it so that no one will know how easy she is at forgiving people. That way, they won't take advantage of her...like I did."

There was another long pause. I felt like crying again, but I held my tears in. Who knew that Amy still knew me so well? And that she would understand me? I peeked in to the room and Chase and Amy were just holding each other still. And that's when my fangirl in me took over, and I couldn't help but squeal at the scene before me.

Chase and Amy let go of each other and stared at me in shock, just as I stared at them. I stood awkwardly at the door, shifting from foot to foot.

"Um...hi? I didn't mean to interrupt, but the whole scene just got too cute!!"

Amy took a step towards me and asked, "What are you doing here? How much did you hear? Answer me!"

I scratched the back of my head awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"Um...let's just say that I heard most of what you were talking about, such as you not wanting to hurt Luke, Chase being tired of being with you in secret, and me forgiving you easily. So, basically, everything."

Amy looked at me in shock. Chase finally spoke up and said, "Don't tell anyone, please. We didn't really want to hurt you or Luke, but shit just got out of control, you know?"
