Not The One // Mattia Polibio

002

*Amelia*
I woke up in Mattia's arms, regretting the night before. As much as I wish I could stay in his grip,  I couldn't. I tried to wiggle out but he just pulled me closer.

"5 more minutes Amelia, I just want to hold you right now"

"Mattia please I need to go, Ryan's probably worried"

"Are you seriously thinking about Ryan right now"

"Yes Mattia, let me remind you that he's my boyfriend and last night shouldn't have happened we were both drunk, it was a mistake"

"OH PLEASE, WE WERE BOTH SOBER and you make a mistake once not twice, you can't keep doing this then saying it's a mistake"

"You're right, we can't keep doing this, I can't keep doing this to Ryan"

"Can't you just forget about Ryan for once, didn't he cheat on you yesterday with Kairi's girl"

"But I cheated on him first" was the last thing she said before running out of the house, heading to go see her boyfriend.

She pulled up into his driveway and knocked on his door. Ryan opened the door looking worried but she barged in anyways heading to his room, and sat on his bed.

"Uh hey what are you doing here Amelia"

"I just missed you" she made her way over to give him a hug, but immediately turned towards the closet due to the noise of shifting coming from inside.

"Amelia what are you doing" Ryan said trying to stop her from opening the door.

As soon as the closet was opened, Celia came out.

"Oh my god I'm such an idiot" she said as Celia quietly made her way out of the house.

"Nothing happened babe I swear to god" and Amelia just sighed in response.

"Just promise me it won't happen again"

"I promise Amelia"

"I need some time alone, I'll see you tomorrow at school" she softly said.

The girl parked her car in the garage and made her way inside the house slamming her car keys on the kitchen counter. She walked into the basement taking a seat beside Kairi and Alvaro.

"Hey Amelia, I heard about Ryan, are you okay" Kairi asked

"Yeah I'm totally fine what about you, I know you really liked Celia"

"I'm just glad I found out before it got any further with her"

"So Amelia how'd Ryan take it when you broke up with him" her brother questioned

"Oh I uh I didn't break up with Ryan"

"WHAT, he cheated on you" Alvaro yelled

"Everyone makes mistakes Aloe Vera, he deserves a second chance"

"This is like his 4rth chance Amelia" Kairi spoke and the two boys got up and walked away slightly annoyed.

Amelia didn't know what to do anymore, she felt as everyone hated her, the only person she had now was Ryan. She eventually cried herself to sleep and woke up to Liv calling her.

Liv: Hey Amelia I'm gonna stop by starbucks this morning do you want anything?

Amelia: Um yeah thank you, i'll get an iced caramel macchiato.

Liv: Okay bye i'll see you at school

Amelia rolled out of bed and got ready. She felt emotionally tired from the past couple days so she just threw on a hoodie that belonged to one of the boys and a pair of leggings.

The girl waited in her car for the two boys that she drives everday. They made their way to the car and both got in the back.

"Are you guys being serious right now, can one of you sit in the front at least"

"Sorry Amelia, Alvaro made me" Ale apologizes

She rolled her eyes and started the quiet drive to school, Amelia was very saddened to know that her brother was mad at her, but there was no way she was gonna break up with her boyfriend.

They soon arrived and Liv walked her to her first class that she extremely nervous to enter seeing that she sat beside Mattia in it.

She went in looking for the boy who was already sitting in his seat, she made her way to him and sat down.

The period went very slow as it was a work period and everybody was extremely silent. Mattia hadn't looked at Amelia even once, he was on his phone this whole time texting someone.

The girl glanced to see who had him glued to his phone and was very disappointed to see that he was texting Jenna, his ex. She knew she had no right to be mad though because she was the one that told him to move on. She turned her head and continued to do her work, but she couldn't stop thinking about Mattia. One single tear fell out of her eye onto her paper

*Mattia*
I noticed a tear fall out of Amelia's eye and in that moment all I wanted to do was just hold her in my arms and tell her everything will be alright. But she made it very clear to me yesterday that it wasn't my place, it hurts to watch Ryan be the one who's there for her when he doesn't even care about her at least not as much as I do. After she told me to move on I decided there was no point in moving around, I couldn't spend more time just being fuck buddies when Ryan pisses her off. I don't want to be a second choice anymore, so I texted Jenna, I think we're gonna get back together, because she's the only one who can distract me from Lia. Although it didn't seem to be working, I can't see her anymore or hang out with her it just hurts too much. I'm gonna get my seat changed.

The bell rang not long after freeing the two from their thoughts about how much they liked each other.

Ryan was waiting for his girlfriend at the door, he took her into his arms and walked away with Amelia, but not before giving Mattia a dirty look. You see Ryan wasn't that oblivious to what was going on between the two, he knew they had a connection greater than his, so he was insanely jealous whenever he saw them together.

The day quickly passed and Amelia avoided the guys, instead of sitting with them for lunch she went to subway with Liv.

"Robert and I hooked up at the party" she informed Amelia out of the blue.

"Oh my god no way"

"Yeah and he asked me out so we're dating now"

"I'm really happy for you" she congratulated her friend. She was definitely happy for Liv but at the same time she was jealous that she couldn't be with the guy she really wanted to be with.
