Sorry for the delay in updates. I start college next week and everything has been a little hectic. I will have another chapter up sometime tonight, I promise. But first, I must go to work. Also why is Adam and Drew's mom such a bitch? Poor Alli. :(

Amelia POV

I just didn't get it. Whatever Adam was hiding...was it really worth hurting me over? Was it worth walking away from something that could potentially be great? I don't know. What I did know is that I wouldn't cry over this. Nope. Not a single tear...well maybe just one.

Adam POV

I ran all the way home. I needed to get away as quickly as possible. How could I do that to her? How could I not? Amelia deserved better than me. Besides, once she knew she would regret ever kissing me.

When I got home, I ran straight to my room ignoring the hellos from my parents and brother. Once the door was closed, I cried. Uncontrollably. I sobbed until I completely drained my body of tears. Why me? Why did everything have to be one billion times harder for me? I finally had a chance at happiness, and I blew it. My body blew it.

Both Amelia and Adam spent the afternoon in their bedrooms, thinking about each other until they fell asleep.

The next day was Monday. That meant school. School meant Adam and Amelia having to face each other.

Amelia woke up happy to see such a nice day. That is until she remembered what happened yesterday. Her smile faded, and she slowly got out of bed.

"Good morning sweetie," her mom came in. "Sorry we missed you last night, your father and I decided to go to Sunday evening mass with the family out there. We didn't get in till after midnight and I didn't want to wake you. I assume you just went to churrch with the Edwards?"

Amelia POV

Shit. Church. It completely slipped my mind.

"Uh, um yeah I did." I said and smiled.

"Great. I'll see you downstairs sweetie, I'm making you pancakes to make up for you having to eat out two days in a row! Come down as soon as you're ready."

Great. My mother being so nice to me made me feel 10x worse about skipping out on church. I decided I wanted to look nice today. I felt miserable on the inside, so I should at least look good on the outside. I made sure my hair was bouncy, my clothes were new, and my make up was perfect. I was never really into wearing much make up. Just something light and natural to highlight my eyes and lips, with a touch of blush. Perfect. Most importantly though, I made sure my skin smelled sweet. Tantalizing even, so when I approached Adam to talk, he wouldn't be able to walk away from me. I smiled, satisfied with my reflection and walked down the stairs to have breakfast.

Adam POV

I woke up dreading school. I was sure Amelia hated me. Along with her hatred came curiosity I'm sure. She would want answers, and I wasn't ready to give her any. I didn't know if I ever would be.

"Mom, I'm sick, can I stay home?"

"Dream on Adam, now get up and get dressed. We're leaving in ten."

"Great" I thought. I straightened my hair a little. Threw on a beanie and the same outfit I was wearing yesterday and sauntered down the stairs and out the door. This wasn't going to be my day.

Amelia and Adam both arrived to school at the same time. Amelia getting out of her little blue car, Adam exiting his mothers van. Amelia glanced his way. It was hard for Adam not to notice the hurt and confusion in her eyes. He couldn't take it. He ran inside the school, and went straight to class complete disregarding Clare and Eli. Today, he just wanted to be left alone.

Amelia walked into school and looked around. No Adam in sight, but there was Clare, and of course Eli.

"Hey guys" I said, forcing a smile.

"Hey." they said in unison.

"Clare, can I um, talk to you? Alone?"

"Hint taken." Eli said. He kissed Clare's cheek and walked away.

"What's up?" Clare said.

"Adam came over and he said he liked me then we kissed two times! And then he slept over and we even shared a bed! But don't worry Clare, nothing happened. But then the next day I made us this awesome cereal breakfast and right in the middle of it he tells me that everything was a mistake and he doesn't like me and left! Clare! What is going on? What do I do?" Amelia said all of this in a matter of 7 seconds.

"Woah woah woah, slow down!" Clare said. "You and Adam kissed?"

"Yes."

"And he slept over?"

"Yes."

"And then he said it was a mistake and left?"

"Yes."

"And you haven't talked to him since?"

"Yes...I mean no. I mean. We haven't talked."

"Well Amelia maybe he just got freaked out, I mean, under the circumstances."

"Wait...what circumstances?"

"He didn't..oh boy..I shouldn't have said that Amelia. Please forget I said that."

"Clare! What circumstances?"

"Amelia, if Adam hasn't told you then he's not ready, and it isn't my place to tell you for him. I'm really sorry. If Adam wants you to know, then you will." Clare gave Amelia a weak apologetic smile. Amelia just stared at Clare, the same hurt and confusion in her eyes that Adam saw this morning.

The bell rang, and they both headed off to class.
