A Christmas Wish Come True

Chapter Five

Amy's POV:

I am worried about Amelia.

All i saw of her was quickly grabbing her stuff then walking out. 'Is she okay? Where is she now?' i start freaking out as i quickly walk out of Lucky's because my shift was over and i pull out my phone and call her number.

After a minute Amelia picks up."hi Amy."

I take a sigh of relief. "Hi Amelia, oh my God I'm so glad you're okay!" I exclaimed as i got into my car starting the engine.

She says nothing.

"Amelia?" I say quietly, my smile fading.

"What?" She says, kinda like she just was shaken out from daydreaming.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah, i was able to get home a little earlier after you know what."

I thought for a moment as I listened to her voice."did you just wake up?"

She nods. "yeah, i was tired.*

I thought for a moment then nod."okay, well I'll be there soon okay?"

"Okay." Is all I got before saying bye and hanging up the phone then taking a deep breath then exhaling.

'Is she really okay?' i wonder as í bite my bottom lip. 'please tell me she is'

I quickly drive to her house then go inside since the door was unlocked then i see her starting at her fishtank while her elbows are on the table while she lays her head on her fists.

"Hey." I say as i shut the door behind me.

She looks over then waves. "hi."

I go over to her then sit besides her setting my phone, my keys, and my purse on the table along with hanging my coat on the back of my chair. "What's the matter Amelia?"

She sighs a little then looks back at the fishtank not saying anything.

After a long time of silence, she finally spoke. "I'm scared Amy. i don't want you to always feel pressured to help me and I want to be independent. I just want to raise a family with a handsome man when I'm older then have kids, maybe a family dog, i don't want you feeling like I'm your responsibility."

I look at her then look down slightly then go over to her and wrap my arms around her then hug her tightly.

She slowly leans into my embrace, closing her eyes.

After awhile I slowly pull away, I've never told her this but I've had a crush on her since the begining of highschool. I didn't know about being bi and such like that. I just found out about that stuff awhile ago like a few months ago. Still, I'm scared to tell Amelia because I feel like she'll get scarred of me.

She looks at me then glances outside, noticing it's dark still. "You wanna stay the night tonight?"

I nod, we then walk to her room then she lays a blanket down and we lay down on it after setting down comfy pillows and such. She then pulls out her phone then turns on Netflix but has it a little close to her face, but not too much to where I can't see it too. We watch a romance movie together then after awhile, I slowly drift to sleep, my head laying on her shoulder.

Maria's POV:
In the morning:

I wake up then look over at all of the beer bottles sprawled around me room. 'what the heck?' i wonder and as i look over, i cover my mouth from letting a scream escape past my lips.

My boyfriend was laying besides me, his shirt smelling like alcohol, and he has a stupid grin on his face as he snores loudly, his hair a complete mess.

I quickly get out of bed nearly tripping on a beer bottle then falling backwards making a loud thump, only causing Josh to snore louder.

I sigh. This isn't the first time this has happened. This happens at least once a week.

But it's alright though, he takes my money, then he goes and hangs out with friends, then he comes back, kinda cuddles with me, then listens to me while texting on his phone. That's a good boyfriend right?

I just stand up grabbing some clothes then changing in the bathroom seeing it's 5:30 and i need to be at work by 6:00. Good thing my work is only about five minutes away, so j can stay here for the longest is twenty-five minutes.

I walk out of the bathroom wearing my outfit which is just my boring old business suit with my hair ties back in a ponytail.

I go downstairs not even dating to pick up the alcohol right now because if one of my co-workers smell it, they'll fire me immedtly.

I grab myself a small breakfast-just some plain old LIFE cearl in a plain old bowl.

I glance around the room. There's an ashtray on my coffee table, telling me Josh and his friends were smoking, then there's empty bottles of beer everywhere, my whole apartment smelling like a drugstore.

I gag the smallest bit because I hate the smell. ' don't worry you can clean it up later.' I told myself and nod.

I finish my cearal then i glance at my phone. It's 5:40. 'how about we get to work a little early today?' i told myself and nod then walk out of the apartment shutting the door behind me.

I get into my car then start the engine then pull out of the driveway.

As i drive to work, i glance at all of the lights hanging outside of the houses that have the Christmas trees set up inside their houses. Their houses looking so comfy and cozy inside.

I just stare back at the road thinking of that night...

'no.' i told myself in my head. 'don't think about that night. It's in the past, so don't think about it.'

I take a deep breath and nod, and drive to work. Knowing this is just the begining of something big, but i don't know what. Eh, I'll find out sooner or later.
