* June 1965 *
Amelia's P.O.V
"I have to! I'm sorry but I just can't take it! They're already looking for me through other towns! If Michael finds me here he'll hurt me and if he sees you with me he'll hurt you too!"
"So you're leaving tonight and decide to tell me NOW!? I say furiously
"Em please, just listen. I didn't want to upset you I-"
"Oh so you don't think you'd be upsetting me by telling me that some guy is coming after you and you didn't even tell me you were in danger so now you're running away?" I interrupt him. "That's great Ashton, real fucking great!"
"No, but I didn't know how to tell you so I thought," he hesitates. "I thought I would maybe wait, but now as you can see, I ran out of time." He scratches his neck looking down
"You're so stupid." I say but almost at a whisper "you don't even want to face your problems, just run away, like you always do."
" Amelia, Jesus Christ Amelia, these guys, you don't know what they're capable of!"
"All these years knowing each other and you're just leaving me? What about sticking together, through thick and thin? Huh?!" I say avoiding the subject of the guys who are looking for him
He thinks and looks at me as if his answer will appear on my forehead.
"Come with me!" He finally proposes
I laugh louder than I intended, but it comes out. "Come with you?" I laugh at the ridiculous statement
He just squints and his eyes are dim. Maybe I was being too harsh now but he knew I couldn't leave.
"Fine then, don't come." He stares back "I'm so sorry Amelia."
I look up into his eyes "oh Ashton." My face fades from all emotion "I'm sorry too."
"Why?"
"Because..." I hesitate now, "I'm sorry for thinking we'd actually be together, ya know? Strong and happy."
Silence fills the air until I ask another question "So where are you planning on going?"
"Texas. I have my friend Luke over there. He'll help me sort this out"
"Will you ever be back?"
"Too hard to tell right now." He starts walking to the front door but turns around " Goodbye Em."
He turns the knob and the crack of daylight shines it's way in
"Goodbye Ashton." I say crossing my arms, biting my tongue trying not to cry.
He heads out and closes the door behind him.
My legs fail and so does my stability to not cry as I fall to my knees hysterically letting all the pain and tears out.
I now have to deal with the fact that someone else I truly cared about had left me
