My Little Fighter

Chapter 17

                        Amelia

It was now an hour and a half after we started training and it was pretty clear that we were both exhausted.

Josh definitely did not go easy on me.

As we were both sitting side by side against a wall all sweaty and panting, he passed me a bottle of water that was next to him before saying

"I think you're more than ready for tomorrow huh?"

"You bet I am."

I really liked spending time with Josh but right now I was too tired to chat so there was a comfortable silence that settled, but it didn't last too long.

"Hey Ames, I meant to ask, I really think you're an amazing girl, and I wanna get to know you more, so how about we go on a second date?" He asked while scratching the back of his head to show his nervousness.

He's adorable.

For some really weird reason, I hesitated to say yes to him, it felt like I was betraying Jace- which believe me, is the stupidest thing I have ever heard since there's nothing going on between us.

But at the same time, I can't ignore the connexion between us, I never felt like this with Josh.

But again, even tho I know I feel something for Jace, I'm really really mad at him, so this pushed me to say.

"I'd love to."

After getting home, eating my dinner which consisted of my usual apple, and taking a freezing cold shower, I was sitting on my bed trying to study for next week's test.

Medical school wasn't easy, but I have to at least try my best no matter what, for Luke and mom.

It was one a.m right now and well, I was trying to study.

It didn't mean I succeeded.

I just couldn't stop thinking about everything that happened to me these past few weeks.

First I meet Jace, the big bad mysterious boy who doesn't seem to want to get out of my head, then there's Josh who is one of the sweetest guy ever, and I can't seem to decide who I want because everything is so confusing.

I never had any boy interested in me, and now I have two of them?

To add to the boy drama, I can't relax because of all the fights, school, Luke, paying the rent and so many more complicated things...

I'm restless.

Why couldn't I be a normal eighteen year old girl who only has to worry about having fun ?

But at the end of the day, I guess I couldn't complain too much because at least I have a roof (well kind of), I have some people who care about me, I have access to education and other things too.

After all those thoughts taking over my brain instead of me memorising the anatomy of the heart, my exhausted self decided it was time for me to go to sleep.

It was now the next day and my lovely alarm decided to wake me up it the most wonderful way.

By attacking me with its horrendous sound.

I swear this thing increases auditive pollution.

After getting dressed in some ripped jeans and a black hoodie, I wore my old and deteriorated shoes and decided that today my hair would look presentable in a braid.

Then I did as usual, I woke up Luke, gave him his fruit loops and drank my coffee before locking up and getting ton my baby.

One of the best feelings ever is riding on that motorcycle, I swear.

For the first time, I wasn't late to school even tho I dropped Luke to his. That is an achievement.

I met up with Hannah in the hallway, we talked a bit and then I headed to chemistry when the bell rang.

I sat on my seat and waited for the teacher to come in when I saw Jace come through the door

I groaned with annoyance. I completely forgot he had this class with me.

He started heading my way immediately after he saw me but I wasn't going to talk to him. What he said to me still really hurt.

"Hey cupcake." He said in the lowest voice ever.

No response.

"I'm so sorry about what I said. I really didn't mean it."

No response.

"Cupcake please talk to me."

I turned my head in the other direction because he was really starting to get on my nerves.

He somehow decided that seating next to me was a great idea, but I only had so much patience.

"Just say something come on."

"Just leave me the fuck alone Jace."

I suddenly took my bag and stormed out of the room. I didn't sign up for this shit and I knew that if I stayed there I would go crazy on this guy.

Good thing Mrs. Bridge hasn't arrived yet.

I was about to get some things out of my locker when I heard a slam next to my head which made me flinch in surprise and turn around.

"Don't you dare leave when I talk to you Amelia."

Oh how great, now Jace was mad too.

"Just move, I don't want to talk to you." I answered angrily while trying to get past him but he just trapped me in between his arm.

He got dangerously close to me and I swore his eyes became a shade darker.

"If you don't want to talk then you'll have to listen."

His words sent shivers up my spine and no words were able to get out of my mouth.

He apparently took this as an okay as he took my hand and dragged me out.

"Come on, we'll talk outside."

We were now sitting really close to each other on a bench and he started talking.

"Look Amelia, I honestly didn't mean what I said, I just get angry really easily and words just slip out. I think you're a great girl, a stubborn but great girl, and I respect you so much. Don't let my impulsive self make you think you're not awesome. Please give me another chance."

He was looking at me with pleading eyes the whole time and I knew that he really was sorry for what he said, plus I like spending time with him so I forgave him.

"You're lucky I'm in a forgiving mood today. For next time just think before you say things asshat."

One of his little rare smiles appeared on his face as he hugged me thightly.

I think we both enjoyed it too much so I had to break it.

"We have to get back to class Jace."

"But we're good now ?"

"Yeah I think so." I answered laughing.

"Okay then, let's go."
