Chapter 16

-Amelia-

I wake up early the next morning ready for work. I pull on some nice clothes and grab my bag. I fix my hair with ease, looking myself over in the mirror. I decide I look presentable and head for the door.

My mind wanders off to Jordan as I walk. What was he doing today? Was he recording or just relaxing. Would he think about me today or no? My mind always asks these stupid little questions because I can't help but wonder. It was almost a problem, but it didn't hurt anything so I guess not. My phones ringtone blares loudly as I stand at the edge of a crosswalk. I answer it looking both ways for cars.

"Hello?", I ask, as I run across the crosswalk before cars could come.

"Hey babe!", Jordan's voice flows through the speaker on my phone, bring a smile to my face.

"Hey Jordan, what's up?"

"I was wondering if you wanted to go out to dinner tonight in celebration."

"I just hit ninety thousand subs on youtube!", he practically yells.

"Sure, sounds like fun. Also congrats you deserve it."

"Thanks,but Liam said you also had a surprise for me?"

"Oh yeah....I'll tell you when we get there....", I say, mentally cursing Liam for not keeping his mouth shut.

"Okay sounds good, I'll pick you up at seven if that's okay"

"Perfectly fine, bye Jordan."

"Bye Amelia.", he says before hanging up.

I slip my phone back into my bag and continue the walk to the first house. Once I get there I look over the house and it's surroundings. A nice house, set on perfectly cut extra green grass stands before me, and I know that it's a rich neighborhood. I take a deep breath as I walk to the door, prepared for my first job of the day. A doorbell goes off once I push the little button and wait. A few moments later a tall guy with greyish hair opens the door. He looks at me, confusion clouding his features.

"Can I help you?"

"Are you Scot Richardson?"

"Yes that would be me.", he says briefly nodding.

"You're sister, Velma sent me here to tell you that your mother has passed away.", I state, pausing to let it sink in.

"How can I be sure she sent you?"

"I have proof.", I say showing him everything, from the email to the proof of transaction for payment.

"Huh well thank you for notifying me Amelia."

"No problem, and I'm sorry for you're loss."

"Yes, I'll miss her...", he trails off at the end.

"I'll go ahead and leave you be now, thank you for you're time."

"Thank you for notifying me, and for being professional. Make you look really nice.", he says shutting the door. A small smile appears on my face as I walk away. Hopefully the next jobs would go just as smoothly. If not it'd be a long long day, but the first job went well so that must mean something.

I walk into my apartment, a loud sigh escaping my lips. I went and did around five jobs and two of them were horrible. On top of that I had to be ready to go out with Jordan in about five minutes. Running to the bathroom, I brush out my hair with my fingers knowing it was messy from the wind. I manage to get it under control and decide to put on a little bit of makeup. Eyeliner, mascara, and some lipgloss that was it, just enough to make a difference. I smile at myself in the mirror, trying to convince myself I could do this.

All day I had also been worrying because Liam had clued Jordan in on me going to college. Sure he had just said I had a surprise for him but it still was enough to let him know something was up. Now I had to tell him and wasn't sure if I was ready for that, but ready or not I was going to tell Jordan. Theres loud knock on the door before it opens, Jordan walking in.

"Invite yourself in why don't you?", I ask walking out of the bathroom.

"I did, didnt think you'd mind."

"Not really."

"See now come on, we have dinner to go eat."

"Where are we eating."

"The one sushi place."

"Mmm okay"

Jordan takes my hand leading me out to the car. I get in and Jordan drives us to the sushi place. We both get out and go inside, our fingers intertwined. We stand there waiting until we can get a table then sit opposite each other.

"I feel bad for not dressing up now.", he says looking at my cream colored dress.

"It's fine, I'm only dressed like this because I had work."

"Ah how was that?", he asks.

"Okay I guess, two out five jobs were terrible."

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay I lived."

"True true.", he agrees.

"And your day?"

"Just recorded for a little bit, then edited it. Nothing too interesting."

"Ah well again congrats on ninety thousand subscribers, that's huge."

"It's still doesn't feel real.", he says and I nod.

"I understand why, that's a lot of people."

"Yeah it's pretty stressful too."

"Aww Jordan don't let it stress you out, it's not worth it.", I say reaching over and holding his hand over the table.

"Yeah but enough of me what's this surprise you had?"

"Surprise?", I ask faking not know what he was talking about.

"Yeah the thing Liam mentioned."

"He's dead.", I say shaking my head.

"Whoa take it easy killer, and just tell me."

"Well I've finally saved up enough money and I enrolled for college."

"Wait seriously?"

"Yes seriously Jordan."

"That's awesome! I can't believe you finally did it! Did you enroll in the same college as me? Will we see each other during the day?", he asks the words just pouring out of his mouth one after another.

"I did enroll in the same college and I hope we see each other."

"That's awesome though congratulations."

"Thank you. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd make it here", I say smiling.

"Well you did and you think I thought I'd make it this far, it's crazy I made it."

"I guess dreams do come true."

"Yes they do.", Jordan says.

A waitress takes our order before leaving again. A minute later she comes back holding our waters. She sets them down on the table and Jordan picks his up.

"To us?", he asks.

"To us.", I nod holding my glass up to meet his before taking a sip.

We continue talking about what classes I was taking and everything until our food comes out. We both eat quietly, me trying to get the hang of chopsticks while Jordan watches laughing. We both finish eating and Jordan pays even with my objection. I go back to his car and he drives me home both of us smiling ear to ear.
