Chapter 13: What Amelia Said

Michael's Apartment

Michael's POV

I laid awake in bed that night because I couldn't sleep. I then decided to migrate from my bedroom to the living room. I sat myself down on the couch and turned the tv on.

There was nothing on, as I expected. There's nothing ever on at 3 in the morning!

I then pulled out my phone and started scrolling through social media with the tv on.

The more I thought about nothing, the more I wanted to think about Amelia. She was just implanted in my head everywhere. Everything would always revert back to her, and it drove me crazy!

I was then getting anxious about seeing her, so I looked at her Instagram just to see her face. Unfortunately, Amelia is/was never one of those girls who would take numerable selfies. In fact, she never takes any. Her Instagram is filled with pictures of her favorite actors, tv shows, things, bands, movies, and everything she likes in fictional worlds. Basically, it's everything but her real life. I then clicked on the photos she's been tagged in to find some of her because I wasn't getting any luck on her own account. Fortunately, she was all over Ashton's account.

A solid four rows were all of her. She looked so pretty in every single one of them. I just sat there and looked at all of them like a creeper.

My phone then vibrated and a notification banner came down. It was from iMessage, more specifically from Amelia. My heart skipped a best and I clicked on the banner which took me directly to my messages. I haven't texted her, or even talked to her, in about a month so any time I could talk to her was always a highlight.

Amelia- Hey Michael!

Me- How'd u know I'd be awake? What if I was sleeping and u just woke me up?

Amelia- Because I know you and you're probably playing video games 24/7 when you don't have anything else to do.

Me- You don't know me well enough because I'm actually not playing any video games! I'm on my phone :P

Amelia- :P

There was a pause before anything else was sent. I just stared down at my phone ecstatic that she was actually talking to me. Then she started the conversation back up suddenly.

Amelia- I miss you

A smile crept up on my lips. She actually did miss me, and I was happy about this. I thought she had totally forgotten about me, I'm glad to see I'm wrong.

Me- Me too.

Me- how about we meet up tomorrow?

Amelia- I can't, sorry. I have SCHOOL because I actually want to go to college unlike SOMEBODY!

Me- I hate shook, and so do you. So why go to even more of it? I'm not going to college.

Amelia- Why didn't you at least finish of he last couple months of our last year?

I had an answer, but she wasn't going to understand.

Me- Because the only reason I didn't drop out earlier was because of u. You're the one who got me out of bed in the morning. You're the one who kept me through the day. I've been holding you right straight through the daylight, and I'm right here. I don't know why, but I've loved you for a few years now and I just want you to realize. I can make you feel okay and alright because I can take away all the hurt of everything else. I love you Amelia. So if I go to school and you're not paying attention to me, I can't cope with that. I need you with me, beside me at all times.

It took me a good five minutes to type all of that up. Amelia probably sat and looked at the little cloud with the dots for minutes wondering what I was typing. I had typed it all up and then deleted it within a second.

Me- I didn't feel like it.

I sent that instead. I don't know if I'm happy that I did or if I regret it.

Amelia- You should feel like it because you e made it this far. I don't know why you'd just quit.

I read the message and didn't know what to say next. So I just looked at the bright screen for a few moments.

Amelia- I've got to go. It's late and I have to go to hell tomorrow. Bye!

Me- Bye!

Amelia- Talk to you soon!

Me- Definitely

I then turned my phone off and sighed. I needed some sleep. I needed sleep for my big day of nothing tomorrow, well today, actually. Monday is my day off of work... yay.
