after school i walked home hand in hand with Liam still aching from my beating this morning, as we approached my house i turned him round kissed him deeply on the lips pulled away and said softly 'what did you want to tell me a few days ago?' he kisses me again softly and a tear rolls down his face and he begins to explain
'it is Amelia she has leukemia she has had it for two years and now it has spread to her lungs, heart and brain it has been diagnosed as terminal she has 3 months to live' his voice wavers and we both burst into tears and embrace each other we walk back to mine, mum is out as usual and just cry and sit under a blanket together and i fall asleep in his arms when i wake up it is dark and Liam is asleep he hasn't been for very long as he still has tear marks on his face i get up and get another blanket i see mums bag and keys i get a drink out of the fridge and see the scribbled note 'why is liam here at this time you better have a good reason and not have done anything stupid'
i thought to my self what does she take me for i am not her she has no right to think of me like that i don't need her accusing me of shit at the moment.
as i hear Liam stir i go in and say 'hey baby you okay' and he replies 'i need to go home to be with Amelia, come with me?' 'of course buba' he tells me not to be surprised at what i see with Amelia and that i can leave if i don't want to see her
we get to his house and see Amelia curled in a corner, she has lost all of her beautiful blond hair, she looks so fragile. i walk in and she says hey Liam and Eloise, hey Liam you going out with her yet? Liam mumbles 'yes Amelia yes i am' she does a Minni leap for joy in her seat we chat for a while and she falls asleep so i go home, i kiss Liam good bye and leave ready for a roasting at home.
