Let it be

Chapter 3

Amelia and her sister had been in the Hearte house for most of the day. Ben was still trying to win Hannah over in the family living room, under the watchful eyes of his mother, Emily. she had warmed to Amelia much sooner than she had expected, telling her it was nice to have another woman in the house, and to see her son happy, wanting to live again. 

Amelia was currently sitting at the bottom of the the back garden on a trampoline with Issac and Will, whom had managed to sneak three beers out of the house without Emily noticing. Am had never been one to drink alcohol, not wanting to disobey or shame her family, so gladly took up the opportunity when Issac offered her one.  "So" Issac said, looking at Will and Amelia as they sat shoulder to shoulder. "So what, izzy?" Amelia smirked, taking piss out of the girl who had rang him earlier asking him to 'come over and see me izzy!!' he laughed at Amelia's brilliant impression of the girl, Will laughing along with them, slowly beginning to show signs of becoming himself again. already, Amelia felt like she belonged with these two idiots. 

"Right, mine and Will's favourite band is coming to Brighton. And, as your new neighbours, we'd be delighted for you to come with us. Right, Will?" Issac said, making Will grin, nodding  and showing off an impressive set of dimples. getting him on the trampoline with his portable machine and tubes was a struggle, so Am couldn't really see him at a gig, but she never knew, maybe he'd be OK. "Yeah, I'd love to. What band are you talking about?" Issac smirked and pointed to the Catfish and The Bottlemen jumper Will was wearing, making Amelia scream in excitement. "OF COURSE I'LL COME WITH YOU I FUCKING LOVE THOSE GUYS" making them both laugh as she stood up and started jumping around manically, shouting the lyrics to her favourite song as they both joined in. 

'love her from the get-go, pick her up from Heathrow, whenever she needs me. Watch her on the west-end, pepper up her best friends, whenever she needs me. Cause she was different league, and i was nothing much' 

This situation was two things. good, and mind-glowingly stupid. Amelia could  feel herself falling for Will already, and his mum had told her only twenty minutes ago when she was helping her make popcorn, that Will only had 6 months to live, and he wanted to cut them short to 4 months despite having to go to New Zealand to do so. For fucks sake, Am. why do you always pick the worst guys? she thought to herself, as she watched the two idiots messing around on the trampoline, smiling in spite of herself. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Despite this, two months later, Amelia found herself in the exact same position she had been on the day she first met Will, but by now she was well and truly in love with him. She was having the 'ohmygodihavenothingtowear' moment, with about an hour to get dressed and do her makeup before going to the concert with Will and Issac. She was currently lying on the floor, groaning into multiple pairs of clothing that lay strewn across the floor. She heard a laugh coming in through the window, and knew it was Will snap-chatting her moment of weakness. She was wearing a top about 20 sizes to small, and a pair of pyjama shorts with her hair curled. 

" I personally like that outfit, Am. very ten year old fashion." He said, trying to keep a straight face. Amelia laughed at his terrible attempt at humour before asking his opinion on a top she had bought recently for the occasion. She held up the grey knit top, with a lace up  design  across the middle that would show off her cleavage. It was a good thing her dad wasn't home, as he would personally kill her if he ever caught her in it. Will's eyes widened when he saw the outfit, looking slightly uncomfortable after. "Yeah, that's great. i have to get showered but i'll meet you back here in half an hour, yeah?" He smirked, before grabbing a towel from the bed and walking out the room. 

20 minutes later, Amelia was sitting on her windowsill seat, waiting for Issac and Will to get her to climb over and leave from there's, since her step-mum was home and wouldn't let her go out. she was wearing the grey knitted top, with black jeans and her black vans. she had done quite a heavy makeup look, with burgundy lips, and some black 'flicked' eyeliner that was slightly      uneven. as always. she was also wearing some pinkey/orange eye-shadow that Hannah had give her last week as a 'thank-you' for letting her ask Ben out. they were having their first date now, under the supervision of Hannah's mum. 

when Issac and Will both returned to Will's room, they both stopped at stared when they saw Amelia. "Holy shit" Issac said, looking towards his brother before shoving him forward, making Amelia giggle at their twin antics, like always. "yeah, um, we didn't say earlier when we asked you but we've got Issac's friendship group coming with us tonight, and we are going for pizza or some-thin before the gig. is that alright? also you look really pretty. i think we are meeting them at the tube statio-" 

Amelia laughed, cutting Will off. "relax, Hearty. it's fine, i like meeting new people. I was getting bored of you two anyway. and thank-you, you don't look too bad yourself" she winked, before grabbing her purse and money before going to climb out the window, turning around to see both of them filming  her for snap-chat as they always did. they usually sent them to Ryan who she knew would be coming tonight, and some ginger boy called Callum whom she'd never met, but knew was Issac's best friend. 

"C'mon, you noobs. my future husband is waiting!" Amelia said, referring to the lead singer of Catfish and The Bottlemen. "Who? Ryan or Callum?" Will asked, sounding sort of strange and distant. Amelia turned to look at him saying "FEAR NOT, YOUNG WILL. IT IS YOU I TRULY LOVE", before grabbing his face and  kissing him on the cheek, laughing as she saw Issac taking  a picture. Amelia laughed and asked him to send her the picture.  "wElL alrighty then" Amelia said, before shoving both boys out of the room and walking down the stairs with them. before making their way to the tram station to meet all of Issac's friends, they had to let the boy's mum know they were going. After checking that Will was going to be OK, and hugging Amelia whilst sobbing into to her shoulder, Emily  gave them the 'OK' and they finally left for the station. Am  hoped some would be girls, since it would worry her grandma if Am sent her the concert pictures and she was with a bunch of boys. As they approached the tram station, Amelia started to get nervous and strange thoughts started running through her head:  'what if all the guys take Will away and i'm just left with Issac? last time that happened we went to Tesco's and had to pay for all the alcohol we knocked over with that trolley. and i ate all the ice-cream in their freezer even though it was 1 in the morning. Fuck.' She thought, as they walked down the road, getting closer to the station with every step, making Am even more anxious, causing her to keep on tripping over nothing. 'oh for god's sake. just be normal' Amelia said to herself, although she suspected that she said it out-loud, as she could decipher  from the 'subtle' sidelong glances she was getting from Will and Issac.
