AN: Before we begin this book is one of my many ideas and it does contain swearing. This book will also be set to M for later chapters. I hope you enjoy!

Amelia sighed as she opens her apartment door, heels slipping off of her aching feet. She was greeted by the sounds of her adorable pup Snowball. "Mommy missed you too" she accepts the shower of kisses- well licks, her love has to offer her.

She sets both him and her purse down, clicking her house phone to check if there were any voicemail's left while she was gone. Snowball begins to bark following her each step to the kitchen. She quickly cleans his food bowl and grabs his food filling it as Snowball almost digs his whole head in the bowl.

She's surprised at all the voicemail she's received so far- well the ones either than what Bernie spammed. Skipping through them irritated, she notes that the next time for sure when she sees him he's going to have breathing problems.

"Hey Amelia, It's Dirk" she stilled at that voice. Clearing her throat she drank a sip glass of water to calm herself down. "I wanted to invite you to this thing- I'm hosting for my birthday" she holds a hand close to her mouth to stop herself from spitting it back out. "I would really like for you to be there"

She rolls her eyes at the last part, stopping the rest of the messages from playing. "Unbelievable" she mutters stripping her coat and hanging it on the rack. She runs a hand through her blonde locks, plopping herself on the comfort of her couch.

It's been almost 5 years since he had last spoken to her so why now? She was 15 and he was at the fresh age of 18 when they had first expressed their feelings for one another. Eventually, everyone knew about it and weren't really surprised at all. But later in their relationship- about 3-4 years, Amelia began to see that Dirk was unhappy, but she didn't expect to see him in one of the closets, tongue almost shoved down Pam's throat at Vuuugle's party.

She was humiliated when their breakups were announced and not soon after pictures of Dirk and Pam were all over the internet. All she had remembered was she had stopped talking to him after that even when he tried to constantly. She had remained close friends with Paige, Bernie, and Frankie though.

She knew they could never have what they had back then again. It was almost comical at how he was one of the only people to see her cry and probably the only one to cause her too. But that was all in the past, and she wasn't going to let some stupid phone call ruin it. Right?
