AU:
I got a lot of notes about this:Ameliah is 8,and in the third grade. Sorry this took so long,I've been working on this for a long time,and then got stuck on upcoming ideas,but the new promo gave me some,haha. Anyways,sorry this took so long,adn thanks for the messages,etc.(: -Ameliah's POV-
I glared at Clare and trailed behind them as I watched Eli intertwine hands with Clare,instantly smiling. I guess I was kind of happy of how glad Clare made Eli-but then I would think of how his girlfriend-my sister-had died less then a year ago,and was already saying he loved Clare and everything. It took two years before He ever said it to Julia. I stuck my tongue out at Clare's back,and as soon as I did,Eli whipped his head around,making his eyes wide and giving me a warning look before walking down the stairs. I sighed,I should have hung out with CeeCee and Bullfrog,that would have been funnier then being here. I thought of what we would do as we trailed down the stairs. No doubt that CeeCee and I would go shopping,and she would buy me a pink dress that Eli would think is "adorable," and I'd be forced to wear it all the time. CeeCee always wanted a girl,and I was the daughter she never I would get home and Bullfrog and I would watch something Eli wouldn't approve of-Maury,perhaps,and make fun of the guests and the results. I smiled,then he would play some deadhand song and we would dance together(looking as stuipd as possible)-and by the time Eli came to pick me up,I'd be passed out on the couch. I sighed, why didn't I say yes to CeeCee and Bullfrog? Right,I sighed,I hate pink. I was interupted by my thoughts when Eli stopped and I ran into him. He quickly turned around,"hey,watch we're your going!" he said,smiling. Obviously kidding,I rolled my eyes at how childish he is. He kneeled down on one leg,and I stepped back. He smirked,"Coat." he simply said. I rolled my eyes and took it off,mimicking his voice,"coat." He smiled, grabbed my coat and just as I was about to walk to the table, he scooped me up and swung me onto his hip,"Eli!" I groaned. He hung the coat on the coatrack,tacking Clares and hanging it too."Listen,be nice to Clare,ok baby? it-it would mean a lot to me." He looked at me and I sighed,"ok," I rested my head on his shoulder. I was to old-and big for him to carry me,but I was short for my age,and "skinny"(CeeCee would always yell at Eli that I was to skinny,and he needed to feed me-but he did,just not very well) He took a seat and put me onto his lap. I put my book on the table,and flipped it open to the first page,running my finger under the words as I mouthed it, he talked happily to Clare and I was fine with this,she would talk to Eli,and would leave me alone,I wouldnt make Eli upset,and everything would be fine. "Ameliah-Noelle?" Clare asked.I cringed-at both her voice-and my full name,"It's Ameliah," I mumbled,not looking up, then I felt Eli pinch lightly nudge my leg,and I looked up,"Eli only calls me Ameliah-Noelle when i'm in trouble-and His voice usually sounds angrier." I giggled. Clare smiled,I think she was just happy I was actually talking to her. The giggling stopped,and there was a brief awkward silence,when Clare cut in,"Where's Adam?" I rolled my eyes,cool,Clare,I thought. Eli took his phone out of his pocket and flipped it open. No new text messages."No Idea," He said wrapping his arms around my stomach. I scooted backwards so my back was resting on his stomach,and he rubbed my stomach. "So,for the Romeo and Juliet project-I was thinking maybe..I could be Juliet?" Clare asked,I cringed at the Name Juliet,to close to nodded quickly,"And I could be Romeo," he quickly nodded,"yaknow,for obvious reasons." Clare nodded,"and we should make it different-not like the how she expects it to be." Eli nodded,"Maybe Romeo could wake up before Juliet dies," Clare cut him off,"and share one last kiss." Eli smirked,"okay." I rolled my eyes,"whore," I mumbled. "Ameliah-Noelle," Eli whispered in my ear. I squirmed in his lap,"If you say anything else,I'll take you upstairs and-" "hey,sorry I'm late." Adam appeared in the doorway and walked in, taking a seat next to Clare. I squirmed off Eli's lap,and went across the table,sitting across from everyone. He gave a dirty look,but I ignored it and opened my book shoving it infront of my face. Everytime I heard Clare's voice,I got angry,and everytime I got angry,the words floated off the page,making it near impossible to even try and attempt to read. "MeMe?" Eli's voice rang out,as I finally got the first line down. Irritated,I slammed the book down.I looked up and reliased it was just Clare and Eli here. Eli got up and got our coats,he handed Clare's hers,"Where's Adam?" I asked. Eli walked over to me and I scooted up in my chair,he kneeled infront of the chair and I put my coat on."Baby,he left,an hour ago. We've been here for two hours." My jaw dropped,"Two hours,but I-I,only finished the first line in my book." He picked me up and swung me on his hip,"good job." He smiled, I sighed,and he put me on the floor,and grabbed my book. Clare and Eli walked infront of me,intertwing hands. I followed behind quietly,following up the stairs,and outside,"Do you need a ride?" Eli asked Clare. She smiled,"no thats my Mum." She pointed to a small blue convertable,pulling up."Alright," Eli quickly let go of her hand,considering how her Mum didn't even know Eli was her boyfriend,or until now,existed. "I'll IM you tonight," Clare whispered,winking and walking away. We stood there until Clare was in the pasenger seat, and her Mum drove away. Once the car was out of sight, Eli grabbed my hand again,"Let's go. Gots lots to talk about." I groaned,"I didn't even do anything wrong," We stopped at the car,and he opened the door for me,and I slid into my seat. He slammed the door behind me,and walked to the other side,got in,turned on the car,"buckle up." and started driving. I looked out the window and was determined not to say anything to him,until he turned on the turn signal,"I didn't even do anything." I mumbled. Eli turned,"What,oh no,Ameliah." He sighed,"I didn't mean you were in trouble-crap,this isn't how I wanted to tell you." He slammed his fist on the steering wheel. I dropped my head,"Listen,I know Julia said something about you having to keep me after she died b-but,I understand how hard it is. With me,and school,and, a new girlfriend,I mean," my voice trailed off,"I don't care where I go." Eli slammed on the breaks,looked at me in under confusion and then pulled over to the side of the road. He undid his seatbelt and rested his cheeck on the seat,so he was facing me. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it,"baby,it's the complete oposite. I wanted to tell you about my family" I squinted my eyes,"Your..family." He nodded,"Julia said your family was a bunch of assholes." I scoffed. He chuckled,"Don't say that word,and ok,they're not the most approcable people in the world,but they're gonna love you." I squinted,"love me? Why would they,they didn't like my sister." I played with the hems on my shirt."Ameliah,that's what this is all about,they WANT to met you. We're-we're going to have a dinner party." My jaw dropped a little,"A..dinner party? Isn't that for rich snobby people? But,like,for jobs or something,not when ya'know,adopt someones sister-that they hated-when you're 18." Eli squeezed my hand,"They want to make everything ok,they WANT to meet you." I nibbled my lip,"Do I have to?" Eli sighed,"Well,Grandma planned it,and everything-it's kind of a big deal,babygirl." I sighed,"Fine,but I'm not wearing a dress." Eli sighed,"Ameliah,a dinner party is supposed to be nice,you have to dress nice. CeeCee will take you dress shopping Tomorrow,and-" I cut him off,"Are you doing anything tomorrow?" He sat there,silent,"no?" I nodded,"Can you come with?" He squinted,"Dress shopping?" I quickly nodded,"Baby,I don't know anything about dresses," He argued. "Pleeease,if you do,I'll do the dinner party and won't complain." He contimplated,"No complaning at all.." he smirked,"And Clare gets to come." I huffed,"Forget it." He smirked,"Fine,I'm sure CeeCee wil find you the most adorable pink..ruffly dress." He paused,"Ever." I groaned,"Fine,fine,you win. Just pinky promise me." He smirked,"Pinky promises? Aren't we both a litttle old for-" "Pinky promise!" I held out my pinky,and he hooked his around mine,"the dinner party will be fun,trust me,baby. They're going to love you." I nibbled my lip,"Doubt it. If I have to dress up,do you?" He chuckled,and put his car in drive,easing into traffic,"We'll see." "How is that fair?" I asked,visibaly upset. He smirked,"I said we'll see." I was pretty ok on the ride home,Eli kept holding my hand,and I think it actually worked(Although,I'd never say anything.) Once we were home,I went into the kitchen to finish the first chapter of my book (Aloud,to Eli,as he insited,) as he attempted to cook. I stopped mid-sentence,"Do you smell that?" I looked up to see Eli waving a towel infront of the pan on the stove. He turned off the flame,and threw the food into the trash,and dropped the pan into the sink. He put his hands on his hips,"Pizza is always good." he looked around,"Yeah,pizza it is." He nodded and went off to find a was muttering to himself from the front room,when I finally broke."Eli." I sang,"C'mere." a few seconds later,he came into the room,and I held up the phone."Ugh,Ameliah." He laughed and grabbed the phone,and ordered the pizza. An hour and a half later,the pizza was here,and we ate quietly,mostly just listening to Eli talking about what a dinner party conisisted of. After we ate,we went into the front room,and watched a few old episodes of Spongebob Squarepants. I guess,much to my dissapointment,I fell asleep with my head on his thigh,as he ruffled my hair. He turned off the TV and picked me up,"Bed time,babygirl." I groaned and buried my head into his chest,"I'm not tired." He chuckled,and carried me to my room,and picked out PJ's for me,(The ones he bought me,of course.) and helped me into bed,and covered me up."Remember,my room's right across the hall,second door on the right. If you get scared-" I cut him off,my eyes shut,"Dad,I'll be fine." I snuggled into my bed. He stood there shocked,'dad?' he mouthed,"I'll wake you tomorrow before we go dress shopping. Night,love you." He kissed my forehead,"Night." He walked out and turned off my light,and I fell right asleep,excited for tomorrow.
