Let it be

Chapter 12

Amelia raced through the house, trying to find her dad. She eventually found him in her room, looking through an old photo album that she kept under her bed. He was looking at a specific picture, one of Amelia and Hannah, that had been taken not long after they had met for the first time. "My two girls. you are both growing up so fast" he said,not looking up from  the photo as Amelia walked into the room."Now look at you. My baby is almost 18 years old." he said, making Am smile and sit down next to him on the bed, holding her hand in his. "Dad, i will ALWAYS be your little girl. even when i'm married with kids of my own." she said, giggling at the thought. Her dad looked up from the album, grinning so widely that it took up the majority of his face. She hadn't seen him smile like that in years, and it made her think that everything could only get better from that point. 

"Anyway, i know what you are going to ask me. I'm going to say yes. But, that Harte kid will inevitably break your heart, Amelia. he's got a terminal illness. are you sure you are going to be able to cope with him on his good days AND his bad days?" her dad questioned. Amelia had already asked these questions to herself before she let  herself fall in love with Will. she was prepared to accept all of his, despite his flaws. It may have seemed like 'puppy love' to everyone around them, but Will loved her despite everything that was going on in his life, and she loved him in return.

 She'd had boyfriends before, one's that were always kind and respectful to her father and step-mum, but weren't very respectful of Amelia behind closed doors. Amelia had told will everything about her past, all the good and bad. he had told her everything about his life, from his dad leaving, to how he really felt when he was diagnosed with Cancer. How he constantly pretended that everything was fine in order to prevent his mum and Issac staying up all night worrying about him. Amelia trusted Will. She knew that he was trying to get better for her. Taking much better care of himself for her. remembering to take his medicine every day with Amelia constantly asking about it. He had even told her that he wanted to change his mind about committing Euthanasia, which was something that Will had been planning to do for several months. 

Putting the slightly depressing thoughts out of her head, Amelia ushered her dad out of her room before starting to rummage through her wardrobe for an outfit to wear for her date with Will. Amelia knew they weren't actually going to the cinema. she'd been to ' the cinema' with Will and Issac before. They actually meant watching a film in the Den. it was pretty amazing. What with all the fairy-lights and big comfy bean bags. PLUS she wouldn't have to ask her dad for money they both knew he didn't have. To be honest, Am didn't really care what her and Will did. she just wanted to spend time with him.

Am had just finished putting together an outfit for her date, when she heard the familiar sound of the window across from her's opening. She smoothed down her burgundy top and denim skirt before walking over to the window. Will's smile got even wider when he saw that Amelia was wearing the top he had given her the night he had asked her to be his girlfriend. Amelia noticed that  Will was wearing a green jumper and black jeans. Even though he was dressed casually for the date, he still made her heart skip a bit at the sight of him standing by  his window, a lob-sided grin on his face as he waited for her. Amelia used to feel like she was invisible to everyone but Hannah and Charlie, but with Will everything was different. When she was with him, she felt like the luckiest person in the entire world. She was never invisible to Will. it was one of the many reasons she loved him.
