Running Out Of Time

So we meet again.

Jason

After leaving Amelia that day, I killed Harvey and moved me and the gang to Spain, I didn't want to but the cops were close to finding us. And I couldn't stand the thought of bumping into Amelia and knowing she doesn't love me. Knowing Liam had touched her in those ways made me sick to my stomach. It's been nearly three years since we left and I still think of her everyday, I wonder how she's doing, if she ever thinks of me all that stuff. 

After three years away me and the gang have come back, they miss their families and loved ones. And who am I to keep them from them just because I screwed things up.

I was walking through the park that I took Amelia on a date once and told her how much she meant to me, I sighed and walked up to where the lake was, I stop in my tracks to see it's all ready occupied by a girl. She look weak and broken, she looked like she had been beaten multiple times, she was crying to her self and my heart ached. Wait is that?

"Amelia?!" I called out before I could stop myself.

Amelia-Rose

"Amelia!?" I hear a familiar voice call. I slowly turn around and hear a faint gasp, I look up to see a bot I hadn't seen in three years. I wipe my eyes as he walks up to me,standing a few steps in front of me.

"Jason.." I trail off in shock. Not knowing what to say.

"Are you okay?" He asks taking in my appearance. I open my mouth and close it again. I couldn't pretend any more not in front of Jason. He knew me too well. I shake my head and let out a sob. I cover my mouth and break down and Instantly feel Jason wrap his arms around me in a hug, I lean all my weight on him, feeling safe in his arms. He doesn't say anything he just holds me.

After crying for a few minutes I stand up straight and look at him. It was him but it wasn't, it hurts to think we weren't as close as we used to be, it hurts to stand in front of him and not know what to say. It hurts knowing we aren't able to be ourselves because we were now strangers.

"Want to get a coffee?" Jason asks weakly. I nod my head and we head over to a coffee shop.

When we get there we sit opposite each over, just staring at one another, I cradled my coffee for warmth.

"What happened?" Jason gestures to my obvious state of battery. I clear my throat and look down at my coffee.

"I forgot what was acceptable. When you left, I was so consumed by my pain that I forgot that there were other things worth living for." I admitted. He looked guilty for a second, then his face turned to anger.

"Was it Liam?"He asked with fist clenched and teeth gritted. I limply nod not looking at him but his now tight fists. Without think i place my hand on his, it instantly relaxed and he held my hand back. This was a second nature for us and it felt so right. I looked my to see his soft sad eyes looking at me.

"You know it'shard being around you and not being with you." He stated looking my eyes. I gently pulled my hand back. He looked hurt and took a sip of his coffee.

"What have you been doing?" I ask curious to know where he's been.

"I've been in Spain." I raise my eyebrows. He chuckles.

"Yeah I know right?" Causing me to giggle. He looks at me in adoration.

No matter how much you know, how intelligent and capable and wise you are, you cannot escape pain. Noboby can.

We spent the rest of the night laughing and telling funny stories that happened while we were apart, it was like old times. I felt happy again and safe.

After are giggles died down Jason turned serious, he coughed and sat up looking me in the eyes.

"Can I just ask you one question?" 

"Yeah." I said quietly.

"Why'd you do it?" He asks, I knew he was taking about sleeping with Liam, and then being in a relationship with him. My eyes lower to my empty mug then I find his eyes again. 

"I've been inlove with you since the day we met." I admit, he smiles lightly seeing my honesty.

"But when that hope died, my heart broke, and I was hurt and angry and I just wanted to cause you pain." I feel the guilt eating up at me. He sighs and leans back. 

"I did love you. I promise. I didn't want your brothers, I only said that so Harvey would leave you alone." The guilt of what I did eats at me more.

"I have to go." I say standing up. Jason stands up as well. He hugs me and I hug him back tightly. We pull back and look at each over. I didn't want this to be the end, I didn't know what to say.

"Well urm goodbye." I force a smile at him.

"Yeah." He breaths out. And with that I leave.
