No One Ever Comes Close To You

Chapter 13

Pulling up at the restaurant finally I unbuckled my belt as quickly as i could and jumped out my car, Marvin not far behind me. I headed towards the door of the restaurant, locking my car behind me but before I could take another step Marvin grabbed my upper arm.

"Ast, wait," he said, i quickly turned to face him to see why he stopped me but he shook his head and looked behind me. I shrugged my arm from his grip and turned around, seeing Amelia walking out quickly, Harry not far behind her. I watched carefully as Harry grabbed her arm and roughly yanked her round to face him making my blood boil.

"Whats he doing?!" i exclaimed as I saw Harry saying something to her and he didn't look too happy.

"I don't know," Marvin whispered, watching them too. Amelia shoved Harry's chest to get off her and that just made him even angrier and he pushed her against the wall behind her. I stepped forwards to go over there as i was raging, he couldn't treat her like that!

"Aston don't, just leave it..she's strong enough to sort it herself, you'll just make it worse," Marvin said sternly, standing in front of me so i couldn't go anywhere.

"He can't do that to her, did you not see how he was pushing her about?!" I snapped, trying get past Marvin but once again he stopped me.

"She'll be okay, you know what she's like. She can look after herself, think of the amount of times she stood up to you when you had all those arguments,"

"Yeah but i wasn't pushing her or hurting her like that was i?" I frowned.

"No," he sighed and looked down, giving enough view to see over his shoulder. Amelia had now gotten away from Harry and was storming off in the other direction while he watched her. I quickly hid as she made her way towards us before she saw me. I watched her mutter things to herself and walk down the path away from the restaurant car park. I looked back at Harry who who kicked a near bench before rushing to his car and driving out the car park.

"He's not even going after her!" I said angrily once Harry drove off the opposite direction to where Amelia went.

"Come on Marv, we have to go get her," I said and unlocked my car so we could both get in.

"I don't think thats such a good idea," he said an hopped into the passenger seat.

"Why not?" I frowned, starting the car up.

"She'll know,"

"No she won't, I'll tell her we were out and saw her walking,"

"I doubt she'll get in,"

"Well she can't walk by herself, she lives quite far from here,"

"She'll probably get a taxi,"

"I'm not taking that chance, i'll hate myself if something happened to her,"

"It won't,"

"Look Marvin I'm getting her whether you say or not so can you please leave it mate," I sighed.

"Fine, don't blame me if you have another argument," he shrugged and sat back in his seat as things went quiet and were finally dropped. I went the way Amelia was walking and looked around, I could see Marvin doing the same so I knew he was helping me out.

Amelia's Point Of View

The date with Harry went terrible, I don't think I'd even call it a date. He was treating me like rubbish and looking at other girls as they walked past. i didn't care so much that he was looking at them, i wasn't jealous one bit and i didn't even want to come out with him but it was the fact he had bugged me for weeks to go out with him and when i do agree he's doing that. I couldn't take the way he was treating me anymore so walked out in the middle of dinner, not caring that i'd have to walk home alone in the dark. i tried calling a taxi but they didn't have any for at least half an hour and in that time i could walk home. i decided to give up on the taxi idea and walk alone even if i was more than scared, being around London on your own at night when there was all kinds of people lurking about was one of the most nerve racking things i could do. I must have been walking for at least ten minutes before car lights shone from behind me but at first i didn't pay much attention to them. Only when they pulled up beside me did i react, at first i panicked like crazy thinking someone was going to grab me and drag me into the car like you see in movies. I relaxed once i recognised the car and the number plate that i could only just see past the bright lights. the car belonged to Aston and even though i wasn't so up for seeing him i sure was relieved he was here.

"Get in Mils," a voice said as the window wound down but that wasn't Aston's voice.

"Marvin?" i smiled, walking nearer the car and managing to see his face.

"Yeah, you look like you could do with a ride," he chuckled and nodded behind him, signalling for me to get in the back.

"That okay with you?" I wondered, looking past him and at Aston who was watching us from the driver's seat.

"Course, jump in," he smiled.

"It was his idea," Marvin told me as I opened the back door and quickly got in.

"Well thanks, you saved me," i giggled, buckling up my belt, slightly surprised at how calm it was between us and not awkward like i imagined.

"What you doing out alone anyway?" Aston wondered, looking at me through the mirror which made me panic on what to say.

"Was out with a friend, didn't take my car," i said, he just nodded. i smiled at how caring he was even though we weren't together.

"What about two?" i asked.

"Oh er just out and about," Marvin answered.

"Mm, a little strange for you to be out this way,"

"Yeah, fancied a change," Aston laughed nervously making me wonder what they were hiding from me but i dropped it.

Aston drove me back to Charlie's, also questioning why i was staying there and not at Katie's.

"Thank you for the lift," i smiled and un done my belt.

"No worries babe," Aston smiled back.

"Er see you both soon maybe," i said, opening the car door.

"Yeah, good to see you," Marvin called after me.

"And you," i said. We called our final byes before i closed the door and walked up the path, to Charlie's front door. I gave one final wave before unlocking the door and stepping inside. Tonight had been so strange and i was ready for it to end, not knowing what to expect tomorrow at work.
