Totally Bored! Gonna write more! A LOT of you guys like Ian, so he MIGHT be the guy who walks away with Amy- but there are some Hamilton fans. Thanks to those of you who have reviewed! Hope you like chapter 17! (Totally random fact: I like cookies!LOL)

Nellie POV

"Morning!" I said while walking into the kitchen. It was only 9am, Amy usually wasn't up until like 10. She jumped and almost fell off her chair,

"Geez! Nellie, you scared me! "

"I know." She rolled her eyes.

"Of course you do..."

"You know me too well,"

"I know." she smirked,

"Hey, why aren't you at school?"

"Long weekend,"

"Oh,"

"Yeah,"

"So... the weather's pretty good," she eyed my suspiciously and snapped,

"What do you want?"

Amy POV

Since when did Nellie try to make small talk? She usually just broke the ice, something was going on.

"Why do you think I want something?"

"I can tell," She let out a big breath and checked her watch; it was obvious that she didn't want to meet my eyes. After about two minutes of silence she sighed and gave up.

"Amy, you have an appointment at the hospital on Friday." I wanted to know what she was hiding, but when she just came out and said it, I regretted asking her. I had almost forgotten about having cancer, it was so easy to forget but so hard to be reminded. I wasn't ever going to be a normal girl, have normal friends, or live a normal life. It was time for me to accept that. For some reason, my eyes didn't start to water and my nose didn't start to run.

Ian POV

I slept like a spoiled rich baby last night. The date was perfect! No interruption, no nothing. We just talked and ate and laughed. Amy was perfect! Everything about her is perfect. Well almost everything. After that last thought, my heart began to ache. Amy deserved better than that.

"BREAKFAST IS READY!" shouted Nellie from downstairs. I walked out and bumped into Hamilton. Perfect! Just what I needed.

"Morning," said Hamilton,

"Morning," and that was pretty much it, until we got to the kitchen.

We got our bowls and filled them up with oatmeal. We sat in our usual seats,

"Morning Hamilton," said Amy,

"Good morning Ames" then she turned to me and said,

"Morning Ian," the way she said my name made me heart pound, I couldn't find the right words to say so I just nodded.

Nellie sat down and smiled excitedly,

"I just got off the phone with McIntyre, he says there's going to be a special event at his place."

"What kind of event?" asked Dan,

"Family reunion," that made me nervous, Natalie and I had made so many enemies during the clue hunt. Nellie looked at me quickly and said,

"Don't worry, it's just a dinner and a surprise that he planned." I nodded nervously.

"Cool, when?" asked Hamilton,

"Thursday," said a voice coming from the front door. The voice was way too familiar. There were quiet murmurs following it. Hamilton smiled his best smile,

"Dad, Mom, Reagon, Madison!" they walked into the kitchen and Hamilton got up, he hugged every single one of them. The greeted each other and then turned to greet Dan and Amy. The stopped and glared at me and then at Natalie who was sitting across from me. Eisenhower roared his deep low growl,

"Hello" I flinched. I had expected him to run across the room and break my skull. I guess people change.

Nellie POV

After breakfast, the Holts were showed to their guest rooms. Reagan and Madison shared a room and Eisenhower and Mary-Todd shared one. Eisenhower and Mary-Todd were busy unpacking while Reagon, Madison, and Natalie were swimming- Natalie was in love with that pool. Ian, Hamilton, Dan, and Amy were watching a movie in the home theatre. I was in a house with nine other people, and sadly, I was lonely.

Ring-Ring

I walked over to the phone and picked it up,

"Hello?"

"Are you the guardian of Amy Cahill?"
