Chapter Eleven: "One year ago, Hannah Marie, told her I had rabies"

Chapter 11: "One year ago, Hannah Marie, told her I had rabies"

Amelia's P.O.V

I sigh rolling onto my back. I just got home and I literally ripped off my dress and collapsed onto my comfy bed. Carter flops down beside me, not bothering to take off his clothes.

Silently tears appear in my eyes and I let them fall, too exhausted to wipe them away. I feel a finger stroke my cheek, wiping away the tears.

"Don't cry Mia" whispers Carter

"He came back" I croak, "And now we've lost him"

Carter envelops me into a comforting hug. We stay there for a few moments, enjoying the silence.

"Carter" I speak up through my hoarse voice

"Mmm?" he replies

"Don't you think...everything's been distant lately" I say, fiddling with my thumbs

"Huh?" he says

"I mean...that er...you know" I hesitate. I point between us, "We haven't exactly clicked lately have we?"

Carter let's go of me and raises a perfectly arched eyebrow, "What are you suggesting?"

"That we take a break" I confess

"A break?" he says, with a  deadpan expression.

"I mean...its not like...we're exactly over..." I trail, crossing my legs and slowly facing him.

He stays silent thinking. I brace myself for his shouting, going over what I should say to him to make him calm down.

"Okay" he replies simply.

"Oh Carter, I'm really sorry! I know I shouldn't have suggested anything like that but you know we haven-" I babble. I stop for a moment looking at his amused face. "You what?!"

"Okay" he repeats

"Y-you're not mad at me?" I stammer, cleaning my ears to make sure I'm hearing right.

Carter shrugs, "I mean we've dated for a year and I honestly think it's the best decision, we need a break"

"Right..." I slowly nod, "So...we're..."

"Over?" he suggests

I sigh in relief, "Oh thank God you said that, I was afraid we were gonna re-enact that episode from Friends, with Ross and Rachel"

Carter let's out a laugh pulling me into a reassuring hug, "Goodnight Mia" he coos

He pulls away and I pinch his cheeks, "Night Carticles"

His nose scrunches at my nickname.

"Gosh you're so cute" I gush

"Don't even..." he mutters, "I'll take the couch" he says getting off the bed

"Are you sure?" I say, feeling slightly bad

"Yep" he smiles

"Thanks Carter" I smile back

He leaves the bedroom, leaving me silence.

That has to be THE most calmest break up ever. I actually can't believe we broke up. I mean Carter is such a good guy, we've been on and off but we don't even know if WE were gonna go anywhere. He's honestly the most loveliest guy I have ever met and I'm so thankful to have him in my life.

"MELIA! WAKE UP!" screams a female voice, obviously belonging to Bree. "WAKE UP YOU LITTLE SHIT, BREAKFAST IS ON THE TABLE!" she shouts, jumping on my bed.
