Homeless(Jake Miller Fan Fiction)

Chapter 15

Amelia (pov)

The next morning, I got a call from Todd. "Amelia, I wondered if you wanted to come back to work for me? Great! See you at 11:00!" Obviously, he didn't want me to say no, so he didn't give me a chance to say anything at all.

Peter woke up at about 8:00 and we had breakfast before he had to go to his first day of kindergarten. We live in the outskirts of the city, so everything is actually the same distance. We walk almost everywhere.

The moment we walked in the Kindergarten class, I met Jenny's eyes. She was his teacher! Ms. Miller came over and knelt down. "Hi," she said to Peter. "I'm Ms. Miller. I'm your Kindergarten teacher." He smiled slyly, and ran off to put his bookbag in his cubby.

"Listen, Amelia, if you're not confortable with this, then I can-" I cut Jenny off with a sharp "No. We can both deal with this." Nodding, I turned. Peter waved to me, and I returned it with a smile.

This makes me sound like such a parent, but my son is growing up too fast. I still remember the day he was born. 8 hours of childbirth has paid off.

I began my walk the the studio. Suddenly, I had a bit of a regret about letting Jenny teach my son. Surely, she wouldn't hold anything against my son, the son that was almost her brother's.

Nah, she wouldn't do that.

Right?

The familiar face of Todd soothed me in an odd way. Once he engulfed me in a big hug, my worries fled my head. "It's good to see you back, Amelia," he said, smiling. "It's good to be," I replied. "One thing has changed, though. My son is 5, and I need to pick him up at 1:00 everyday until I find a reliable sitter."

Todd looked a little disappointed, but cheery. "Well, sorry he'll be taking your lovely self away from me. I'd love to meet him." I grinned. "I'll see to it that you do."

Nodding, he led me onto a set. "I know your history with Jake is... rocky... so you won't be photographing him." I let our a sigh of relief. Todd started to walk away, but turned. "You know, it killed him when you left," Todd said. "It seemed like he was never going to get over you."

My heart broke right then and there.

"I better let you get started." With that, he left me alone.

So, Jake was hung up? It seemed to me "Homeless" was the song of his feelings towards me, and that was that. Isn't that what celebbrities do? Put all their feelings into a hit and forget about it?

Was anyone ever going to forgive me? Were Jake and I ever going to be friends? I hate to admit it, but the dying question in my mind is a woman. Did he ever move on?

I snapped myself out of my own head. I left Jake after he found out about my time as Caroline. I never gave myself a chance to explain to him what that was all about.
