The Song Remembers When

(33) A Second Broken Heart

A year has passed since the talent show and Amelia kept her promise she never returned after that night. They would play but it wasn't the same without her. They were now freshmen in high school Amelia was at her locker when her phone buzzed and saw a group text from her mom that said "Family Meeting after practice no girlfriends or boyfriends tonight." 

She rolled her eyes and said "AJ check your phone." 

He shut his locker and read the text. "Ugh god I hate these stupid things.." 

"I know me too." Amelia said just as Bucky walked up behind AJ. 

"Check your phone Buck" AJ said 

Bucky pulled his phone out of her pocket and he rolled his eyes. "Why can't they just hey we just wanted to let you know we are going on vacation again." he said 

"Bye AJ I'm headed to practice since I guess Liam isn't coming down this way." she said as she walked away.

"I don't get a bye." Bucky said as she kept walking. 

He sighed and said "See I told you way back in the 6th grade that she was never going to forgive me." as him and AJ walked to football practice. 

"Yeah well maybe if you stop bringing it up it might help." AJ said 

"Well I can't help it I keep trying to apologize and she won't accept my apology." he said 

"Yeah yeah." AJ said 

Amelia went on to cheer practice once she couldn't find Liam. After cheer practice she was wiping her face when she heard "Hey Millie can we talk?'

She turned around and said "Oh hey Liam I was looking for you before practice."

"I know your brother told me um I want to break up. " he said

"Oh.. I don't understand Liam why.." she said as tears welled in her eyes.

"I don't love you anymore. " Liam  said

"Oh.. Okay." she said as she wiped tears and threw her poms in her bag and she ran out of the gym. 

"Amelia.." AJ said as he ran after his sister. 

He caught her before she got to the car and hugged her. "Shh baby sister it's alright.." AJ said as tears welled in his eyes. Being identical twins was hard sometimes cause they could always feel each other's pain. Bucky Asher and Bradley and the sisters walked out of the gym to find them hugging in the hallway.  

"I just want to go home." she whispered 

"Okay let's go get in Asher's car." he said as he wrapped his arm around his sister's waist. 

Bucky looked down and said "Asher.. when I broke up with Millie..is that why AJ wouldn't speak to me for a week." 

"Yeah.. you have to all understand that they are identical twins even she's a girl and he's a boy. They shared the same sac they are use to being close and sometimes that closeness causes them to feel each other's pain. Right now the reason why he's crying is cause he can feel her emotions too. " Asher said as him and Alexis walked to the car. Bucky followed his older siblings to Bradley's car. 

When they all got back home Amelia pulled out her guitar and sat down and started to play "Stilettos." Bucky got out of his brother's truck and he dropped everything when he heard her for the first time since the talent show. 

They all went around back and saw her playing as she sat on the stool. She was singing the song with her eyes closes as tears fell. Bucky walked over to the guest house and he picked up a guitar and he started to play "Stupid Boy." everyone came over and took their instruments. She started to play her electric guitar. 

They went inside after they finished the song and their parents said 'Okay guys.." 

AJ was sitting in between Bucky and Amelia. "We found us a new winter vacation house one that has more use for our big family. It's in Colorado. " James said 

"It has a basketball court indoor and out door a sauna a indoor pool weight room game room theatre room and another game room with xbox. " Bryan said

"Wow.. it's basically the boys dream house." Amelia said 

"Shut up" Bucky said as he leaned up to look at her. 

"You shut up.. I was just stating the truth." she said 

"You two better learn to get along cause you three will be sharing a bedroom." James said 

"WHAT!!" they all 3 said 

Bradley and Asher started laughing. "Shut up Bradley just shut up." Bucky said 

"I'm sorry guys..that was the only bad thing about the house was. But good news it has wall down the middle to block off the bed. It's has a bunk bed on one side and a full size bed on the other side." Bryan said

"I call dibs on the big bed you two love birds can have the bunk beds." Amelia said 

Bucky rolled his eyes and said 'Dad seriously there was no other house." 

"I'm sorry guys.." James said 

"Now the other thing is boys you are allowed to bring your girlfriends if their parents say it's okay. Sorry girls I"m not letting you bring your boyfriends." Bryan said 

"That's okay I don't have one anymore and I swear to god I will kick both of you in the balls if I hear you all having sex." Amelia said 

"Amelia what happened with Liam" Emma said

"He broke up with me after practice today." she said 

"I would never have sex around my sister thank you" AJ said 

"Thank you AJ.' she said 

All the boys pulled out their phones and Amelia rolled her eyes. "Horndogs" she said as she walked back outside. She sat down at her keyboard started play and sing "Like We Never Had A Broken Heart"

Bucky walked out to the guest house and shut the doors and he pulled her hair back and sat beside her and sang with her. "Are you going to change your hair back before the trip?' he said after the song was over. 

"I don't know. You don't like my platinum blonde hair do you?' she said

"I don't it's not my Millie." he said 

"I'm not your Millie regardless" she said as she got up.
