Amelia was the new girl in town, know one knew her and she knew know one.
Being the new girl sucked having to make new friends and make new beginnings but it's also a fresh start
Some people tell Amelia the in's and out's of this small town but kno...
Holidays are a week away and I have never been so excited, I am going to Lock myself in my room and only leave to pee and eat.
I walk myself to school and I see the ice cream truck at the end of the street and everything seems to be normal.
I walk in and see Bella and Zac at my locker talking
"Hey" I smile
"How are you?" They both ask extremely concerned
"Guys I am never going to be fully okay let's just stop asking that question" I say
"Fair" They nod
I turn and I see will walk down the hall. He doesn't look up from the ground and he keeps walking
"God" Zac sighs
"Let's go to maths" I say to Bella and she nods and we walk

I stand out on the soccer field and I look over and see will watching from afar and I smile and do some cool moves I learnt to make him jealous that he hasn't been here.
Bang
People are the screaming and I look around to see where it came from. All I see is a bullet hole in the wall behind me...I know now where it was aimed to go.
"Come on" Will says rubbing towards me
My heart tells me to run and hug him but my brain just tells me to follow him.
He takes my hand and he drags me through the crowds of scared people.
Will finds and open door and he makes sure I get in first and then he follows me and closes it.
"Two attempts on your life since I have been back Amelia!" I exclaims
"You where back before I got shot!" I exclaim
"Yeah I got my bike" he says
"See why didn't you come back then" I say
"Because this is what I was afraid of" he says "then you got shot, and Zac was telling me you where going to die and I rushed to the hospital but I wasn't allowed in criminal record and all since it was a police investigation. So I said to myself if you lived I was coming back no matter what cause at least I could protect you if I was part of your life" he tells me
"Your new apartment, it's by the beach" I say and he looks at me
"Yeah How did you know?" He questions
"I saw your bike outside" I tell him
"I was on the phone to Zac when I hit my What the receipts where, a message. I went back to the house to look at them and I noticed on the back they all had letters and when I arranged them it said leave or she dies and I was not ready to take that chance. I came back and packed my things, I nearly didn't leave I saw you laying there and I thought about what had happened that night and I just wanted to get back in the bed with you but I thought if I don't leave there may not be a you anymore" he explains
"Like I said will, I would much prefer now you being here even if someone is trying to kill me then you being half a world away and me being safe" I say
"I have never had to make the choice before Amelia, I thought I was making the right one. You know I would do anything to protect you and I thought I was" he says
"Things are never going to be the same" I tell him softly
"I know" he says sadly "but I will live everyday I can trying to make it up to you the best I can" he says
"This is all so messed up" I sigh
"I'm going to sort it out" he says "and that's a promise I am going to keep"
"I hope so" I say
I goes silent and will stands at the door and I lean against the wall of the storage closet
My heart is aching for him, all I want to do I walk over to him right now and burst into tears and feel safe in his arms but my head tells me not to.
- The clear bell signals and we leave the small room
"Mia!" Bella and Zac yell running towards me and hugging me
"Thank you will" I turn to see will
"Of course" he says softly
"Thanks man" Zac says
"I'll see you guys around" he says putting his hands in his pockets and walking away
"I'm just gonna" Zac says pointing at Will and we nod and he runs after him
"So you got locked in a room with him" Bella says as we walk
"Yeah. All I wanted to do was hug him and just cry" I tell her
"Aww baby" she hugs me "You can't forgive him straight away he needs to know what he did was wrong"
"I know but shutting him out is hurting me" I say
"Hey are you okay?" Sam comes out of know where
"Oh yeah, you?" I ask
"I was worried about you" he tells me
I look over and Will is a few feet away looking at me
"Yeah well I'm all good thanks for the concern" I say
"Do you want to maybe go out for a coffee?" He asks
Will just looks down and walks away sadly
"I'm good thanks, I kinda just wanna get back to my family it's been a long day" I say
"Fair, I'll see you tomorrow" he smiles and we part ways
I walk home past the soccer fields and I see will kicking around a ball with Zac and I smile softly
"I miss her" I hear will say
"She misses you to Will and it's eating at her but she is hurt, you hurt her. She is just scared to trust you again" Zac says
He sums it up perfectly
I am more scared to trust him again with my heart then anything. What if he does it again?
