No One Ever Comes Close To You

Chapter 4.

I shook my head in disbelief.

"Whats your excuse this time Ast? Starting to run out now, aren't you?" I snapped.

"I.." He started but I didn't give him the chance.

"Why don't you just tell me the truth? Theres someone else, isn't there?" I asked, he looked horrified by what I'd said as he fiercely shook his head.

"Of course not. You're the one I want." He told me.

"No. If you wanted me then you wouldn't be missing dates and acting as if we're not together."

"Baby I'm sorry.." Aston said quietly.

"No Ast, I've had enough. We've been together three years yet you act like we've known each other a matter of days..it doesn't feel the same anymore." I sighed, shaking my head as he frowned deeply.

"I can't so this anymore Aston." I whispered as tears started to burn in my eyes.

"No, Amelia..don't do this." He whispered, I shook my head and put my hand over my mouth. I couldn't say much more as I turned around and rushed out of the bar, I saw Katie follow me out the corner of my eye. I didn't stop walking until I was behind a building, leaning against the wall I burst into tears. I sobbed into my hands and a few seconds later there was arms wrapped around me, pulling me into their body and I knew it was Katie.

"Shh come on babe, everything will be okay." She told me but I just cried more into her and didn't answer her. She stood and comforted me for a while before pulling back and looking at me.

"How about we go get you some things and you can stay at mine tonight?" She asked softly, I smiles slightly and nodded.

"Come on, I have my car." She said and led me to her car which was parked in the car park to the bar. I froze when i saw Aston walking out, looking around until his eyes landed on me and his face dropped. I couldn't help but start crying again as he looked at me.

"Amelia please.." He said, trying to stand closer to me but I stepped away from him.

"I can't talk right now Aston." I sighed and shook my head.

"Babe get in." Katie said and unlocked her car so i could get in. Quickly I opened the passenger seat door and got in, waiting for Katie to come. I listened as she said some stuff to Aston about giving me space and that I was staying round hers tonight. I wasn't really paying attention though as I was staring into space. Katie sighed and climbed into the driver's seat as she drove off and round to get some stuff from mine and Aston's. I was in and out of there as quick as I could, I only got the essentials and stuff I'd need for that night. I rushed back into her car and she took me to hers, letting me stay in the spare room which I'd stayed in many of times.

"We'll get some food in later if you're up for it." Katie smiled, I nodded.

"Sure, I'm a little hungry." I told her.

"Okay babe, well I'll let you have some space..come down when you want." She said.

"Thanks for all this Katie." I said.

"Don't thank me Mils. You're my best friend, it's what I'm here for." She giggled making me laugh a little too and nod. She left me to go downstairs so i could have some time on my own. I took a deep breath and sat down on the bed, staring out the window. I was sat there for a good half an hour before my phone bleeped in my bag, i got it out to see I had a text from Aston. I bit my lip, wondering whether to look at it. I decided to look at it even though I dreaded to think what it said.

{Amelia, I know you don't want to talk to me or see me so I'll send you this text then be done with it, I'll wait for you to come to me. I just want to tell you how sorry I am for not putting an effort into our relationship, if there is one anymore, I don't know why I've let you slip through my fingers. The last three years could be nothing now just because of a stupid mistake I keep making..you really mean the world to me and now I've probably gone and lost you. I'm not begging for you to stay because I know that won't work and it's not fair on you. Whatever decision you make I'll respect it. I love you so much and I'm truly sorry.

Hopefully see you soon when and if you come home. xxx}

I read it with tears streaming down my face. It felt I'd already forgiven him because of this text but I couldn't. Things would just go back to the way they are now. I didn't answer and put my phone down, lying and staring up at the ceiling. My emotions were messed up and i had mixed feelings. I didn't know what I was going to do. I loved Aston more than anything but I don't know if that was enough now.

I perked up a little more and went downstairs. Katie made dinner but I hardly touched it, my appetite going a little bit. I made small talk with Katie, nothing going into deep conversation about Aston or anything. He wasn't even mentioned in our conversation yet he was still in the back of my mind. I wondered what he was doing right now. I got a really early night, lying in the bed but not actually sleeping as I had too much in my mind. I was tired but my mind wouldn't let me sleep or drift off. It was eleven o'clock before Katie came up and I could hear her in the next room which was her bedroom shuffling around. All went quiet and I guessed Katie was asleep, there was no sound and I could even hear my breathing it was that quiet. I re-read the message Aston sent me earlier and bit my lip before ringing him. It was a risky move but I needed to speak to him, I missed him so much already.

*Aston - A / Amelia - m *

A; Hello?

I smiled a little as I heard his voice but it also sounded croaky and as if he'd been crying.

M; Aston..

A; Amelia?

M; Yeah, it's me..

A; I thought you hated me

M; Don't be stupid, I could never hate you

A; I'm really sorry

M; I know you are Aston, I got your message

A; I meant it all

M; it'll take time, I need space

A: if thats what you need then I'll give you that

M; thank you

A; I screwed up..big time..

M; I don't really want to talk about it right now, we'll sort it out another day, yeah?

A; Okay, I understand..

M; Thank you Aston, I'm going to go now..I'm tired..I just wanted to speak to you..

A; Well i'm glad you rang, I didn't know what to think..

M; Yeah, I was just angry earlier..Speak soon..

A; Yeah..I love you

He whispered the last bit, probably not knowing whether to say it or not. I smiled a little and took a deep breath.

M; I love you too Aston

I said before hanging up. I sighed a little, i guess I felt a little better after speaking to him. I wasn't sure what would happen next. I put my phone away and got up to get changed into my pyjamas before getting back into bed. This time I found it a lot easier to get to sleep, my mind wasn't churning as much and I was out within minutes.
