A/N: Hey guys! So in this chapter we are going to see Amelia seeing that peoples roles don't always stay the same, that relationships can become more than just friends and friend don't always stay friends. Also that they can grow into new versions of themselves, even if you never saw that coming. So hope you like the extra long chapter!
After last nights crazy hospital events, it's nice to be home. Last night is a bit blur. All I can remember was a lot of Sam yelling at people, falling asleep after a while on Seth after I got bored playing on my phone. Then around 3 a.m. finally Sam, Emily and I all wandered back in to the small cottage and parted ways to head to bed.
My eyes open a little at the sound of knocking. Groaning I roll over to look at my alarm clock, 7 a.m. its reads. The rather annoying person at my door, knocks again. After I practically fall out of bed, and I walk to my door. Opening the door, I see Sam.
"Why, on gods green earth. Have you woken me at 7 in morning?" I ask calmly, trying not to lose my temper.
"It's Emily, She's trying to clean the whole house and make breakfast and... a-" Understanding I stop Sam from explaining further.
"I'll be right down, in a minute" I say closing my door to get ready.
I open my suitcase, looking at the not so neatly packed clothes. I sigh, picking out a pair light washed jeans and a peachy coloured tank top. I quickly throw on the outfit and sneakers. I put my hair up in a high ponytail. I walk out of my room, to hear Em and Sam bittering over the wedding date.
"It too late to change it, Sam." I hear Emily say as I walk down the stairs.
"We are not getting married, if you have a broken leg!" Sam says angrily, I slowly step off the stairs and into the living room. I find Sam and Emily both at the kitchen table, Emily has a cup of coffee and her wedding binder out. While Sam has a plate of eggs and a newspaper. Silently I slide into the chair next to Emily, and wait for the conversation to pick up again.
" The Wedding is going to happen in two weeks, Sam! I don't care if you agree or not. It's happening" She says sternly. Emily pulls herself up and on to her crutches, and walks over to the kitchen. Sam leans over the table and whispers at me,
"Can you get her to change her mind?" I can't help but laugh at him, I stop the second Sam starts giving me a death glare.
"No, are you crazy! Once Emily has her mind set on something there is no stopping her." I whisper/yell at Sam.
"God I wish you were wrong" Sam sighs and leans into his chair.
"Amelia come get your Breakfast" Emily says, calling me into the kitchen. I jump up and speed walk into the kitchen. Emily has a plate of eggs and bacon, waiting for me with a glass of orange juice. I walk back over the seat I was sitting in with Emily. The second I sit down Emily has the binder opening and is explaining every last detail of the wedding. The date is the 17th of July, the braid maids are wearing maroon dresses. Emily is the middle of telling me who each of her braid maids are when, she says the last name on the planet I'd think of... Leah. I nearly spit my orange juice on Sam.
"Leah.. as.. as in Leah Clearwater." I go big eyed at Sam and give him a 'what the bloody hell, are you letting this happen? Are you looking to start world war three' kind of look. Sam grimaces and starts reading his newspaper again.
"Yes, Leah Clearwater." Emily say rolling her eyes at me. I continue to eat my breakfast, just as I take a slip of my orange juice Emily says very casually almost too causally,
"Actually she offered to be a braids maid" I have a coughing fit because of the amount of surprise that statement bought to me. Emily laughs at me, saying
"Yeah, I had about that same reaction"
"Oh." Is all I could think to say, The very thought of Leah being okay with this marriage is a long shot. Let alone support it? Either Leah has really changed or she's planning something, Something I want no part of. We continue to eat breakfast and have light conversation. Once I finish my breakfast, I get a text from Seth.
Seth: Hey, meet me at my house in 10 minutes.
Amelia: Okay, are we going to be doing something?
Seth: No, I just need an excuse to leave the house.
Amelia: So spontaneous adventure?
Seth: You know it.
Amelia: Okay, see you in 10.
I run up stairs and into my bedroom. I grab a small backpack, then put my Nike rain jacket, my running shoes,a cute blue swim suit and an extra set of clothes inside. I quickly zip up the backpack and head downstairs in search of a water bottle.
I walk into the kitchen and I open the trusty cabinet that holds the water bottles, I find my favourite one and fill it at the sink.
"Going somewhere?" asks Emily from the kitchen table. I turned to face her direction.
"Yes, I'm going to Seth's' I causally, I starting walking towards the front door. Emily clears her throat, I look over to her. Emily is pointing to a small wicker basket sitting on the table. I raise an eyebrow at her as if too say 'How did you know'
"By the way you ran up stairs, I figured that you were more than likely going to hang out with Seth and that you would need snacks." Emily says to me, I walk over and give her a quick hug. I grab the basket and head out to Seth's.
I arrived at Seth's house nearly 5 minutes later. I continue up the sidewalk leading to the front porch. Where I find Seth, lying on the porch swing, of course sleeping. I go and sit on him, deciding it would the fastest way to wake him. I sit there playing on my phone, I hear a groan. Success!
"Hey, get off" Seth whines at me. I stand up, so he can get up. Seth slowly stands up.
"So where are we going?" I ask excitedly, Seth smiles at me. He grabs my hand and pulls me toward his truck. I jump in the passengers side, and Seth turns the key. the truck roars to life, Seth's truck is very loud. He pulls out of the drive way and starts to head up the street to the main road.
"We are going " Seth looks at me, smiles and pats hands on the wheel like a drum. " To the cottage" Seth says to me and I grin at him, God I could just kiss him. Wait, what? No I don't what to kiss my best friend. I want to have an amazing and fun day with him. But I do not want to kiss him!
Is Seth just my best friend now? I mean after the imprint, I felt a pull towards Seth. But it was just the imprint not me. Life goes on.
What does Seth want? Damn. I never asked. I never thought too. I'm so stupid, This effects him more than me, but I get to make the decision if he is happy or not?
"Seth?" I say, Seth hums a "Hmm" at me. "What do you want?" Seth looks at me, concerned
"What do you mean, Allie?" Seth says to me
"The imprint, What to you want?" I say, Seth hold the wheel a little tighter than he should. He runs a hand though his hair and looks at me
"I want" Seth hesitates "I want you to be happy"
"Good answer, but cut the crap, Seth. What do you want?" I ask him sternly, He turns on to the cottage road. I realized, that I had to have zoned out for a while. Seth doesn't reply to me until we get to the cottage. Its a gorgeous cabin on the lake. Seth gets out of the truck and starts walking towards the dock. I quickly hop out of the truck, and run up to Seth.
"Seth!" I say trying to keep up with his pace "Come on, Just talk to me." But he doesn't stop walking till we reach the end of the dock. Then Seth turns to face me.
"You want to know what I want, Amelia?" Seth asks me, I nod taking step closer to him " I want you to be my forever, My girlfriend, my wife, and the woman I grow old with!" I stand here, shocked.
"What if you mess me up, Seth! What if you leave me, right when I need you most!" I yell at him. There to many things that could go wrong, I couldn't do that again.
"Are you kidding me, Amelia! You honestly think I would do that! I imprinted on you, I would do any thing for you!" Seth fires back at me "Wait, do you think that I would even think about hurting you like that other guy did?" Seth asks me
"No! I just don't want this friendship to be gone! Then I don't know what I would do" I can feel the tears rolling down my face, as I say those words.
"Take a risk, Amelia" Seth says to me " What if I was made for you and you were made for me, What if this is it? What if I'm your last first kiss?" Seth steps in closer to me and wraps his arms around me. I raise my tear stained face to look into Seth eyes. Then it hit me, I was running away from something. That I was meant for. Seth was my past, but he was also my future. Seth leans down, and lightly presses my lips to mine. Suddenly it feels like fireworks go off around us. Seth pulls away from me, I move my arms up around Seth's neck. And we just stood there for while. Enjoying the warmth and happiness we gave each other.
At least until Seth picked me up and Jumped into the lake.
