The boy that saved me

Chapter 4

Amelia POV

Weekends are the worst days of the week. While most people go out and have fun, I am stuck at home doing the tons of homework. Besides, my parents do not allow me to go out alone unless I'm with them. Come on! Face the fact! I'm 17 years old already! Why can't they accept that?? However, I will get a text occasionally from the girls asking about homework and that was it. Nick, he seemed so distant and he did not talk to me since that hug. I actually don't mind him not talking to me but I am worried sick about him. "Ring!" My phone buzzed. I really hope its Nick. I miss his raspy voice. It was a text message from Nick: Hey Amelia, can you open up the door? I quickly rushed down and opened the door. A box of chocolates and a card was placed on the doorstep. I picked it up and read the card. I recognizes the handwriting immediately. Amelia, I'm sorry for avoiding you this few days. I went through a little bit of a rough time. I don't want you to kwow what I'm going through. But if you really want to know, I think you can just come to my house and visit me. So just cross the read and knock the door and bring your guitar along. Wanna hear you sing. Byee! ♥️Nick

My mouth curved into a smile and went in to change and grabbed my guitar, songbook and the chocolates. I walked towards his house feeling worried. I found him on his bed, under blanket. You must be wondering how I got in. He told me that there was a spare key under the mat. Simple as that. I placed all my things in the living room and walked upstairs to Nick's room. " Nick are you alright? You seem like a mess. Did anything happen? Where is your mum?" I asked. At the sound of the word 'Mum', tears start to well up in his eyes. My jaw dropped. I know what that means. " I'm so sorry. I didn't know. It's okay. I will bring you somewhere. Its a place where I went when you know, my grandfather passed away." With that, I dragged him out of the bed, throw him some clothing and brought him out to the daylight.

Nick POV

Where is she bringing me? I want my blankets and pillows. But I kept quiet. I don't want to tell her because I appreciate the fact that she is trying to help me out. If only she saw all those scars I bore under my sleeves. I saw a lot of trees covering the street. A sense of relax waved through my body. She brought me to a field where all the grass are green and soft. She then started to strum her guitar. ' Even when the sky is falling down, even when the earth is crumbling around my feet, even when we try to say goodbye you can cut the tension with a knife in here'. Her melodious voice rang through my head. I admired her voice so much. "Thanks Amelia for all of this. You know, you don't have to do this. I just feel so guilty. I was not there when she needed me the most. I was too late. Too late Amelia, too late. I wish I could turn back time. I wish I did not went out that day. I wish I had not done so many things," I bawled.

Amelia POV

It hurts me seeing him so sad like this. I pulled him into a tight hug. I knew he needed comfort so that he could be fine. Just then, I realise a red stain on his sleeve. I kept staring at it and recognized that it was blood. I should have known that he was going to do that. Gosh, how stupid of me for not realising it much earlier. I got out from his grasps and rolled the sleeve of his shirt. "You of all people should not do this. You deserve to be happy. Your mother would not want to see you like this. I know she wants you to be happy. Think of those beautiful memories you had with her. You will not lose her because she will always stay in your heart. Trust me. I have been at your place before so I understand how you feel. No matter what happens, you have to move on. I hate seeing you like this," I adviced him. "Let's go and have dinner. You look like you had not eaten for ten days," I joked earning a smile from him. I could see that it was a fake smile but at least he is trying.

Nick POV

I am very grateful for what she is doing. Yup, what she said was true. I will get over it. I have to. I'll do this for her, Amelia.
