Chapter Eighteen

    "You're doing it again Amelia!'' Hana scolded me for dazing out for the millionth time today.

     I went to her house for some science project we had together, but I just couldn't focus.

      It's been almost a month now since the last time I heard from him...he's not coming to the house to work with dad, and he's not calling nor texting me.

      For some reason I feel...empty, I don't know why..! sometimes at night I find myself missing him.

    It's hard to admit...but I do.

    When I woke up this morning I went straight to the bag sitting in my closet... I put on Mason's sweatshirt and it was so warm.

    " I think I should just go home Hana...I'm not feeling very well".

  I left Hana's house and walked down to mine... It was just four blocks away, i put my hands in my sweatshirt's pockets...yes it had pockets! Which made me love it even more.

    I had Mason's headphones on too, when I got to my front door I hanged the headphones on my neck and walked in, heading straight to the stairs.

    "Hello Amelia...''

  Either i started to have hallucinations about Mason or he's really behind me...I turned around slowly to see him standing right there! Six feet away.

   " how was school?'' He questioned me with red almost watery eyes, ''i-it was f-fine...i was at Hana's now..'' I replied.

    "Is she a friend of yours?'' I was taken a back from this way too normal conversation.

    " y-yes she is'' I replied again...throat tightening.

"Oh I see''.

   " Amelia... I want to apologize again... I never meant to hurt you, you know that...'' I kept my mouth shut...I couldn't help it.

   ''I don't want you to ever be scared to be near me....even if my love is this kind of love''.

   Why was he being so gentle? The Mason I know would be already pinning me to a wall and forcefully kissing me.

  I heard a sound of foot steps behind me and as I turned I saw mom walking down the stairs with her purse

''Lia I'm heading out to run an errand, your dad will be home in a couple of hours... If you get hungry there's plenty of food enough for uncle Mason and you in the microwave'' she pecked my forehead and excused Mason and left...shit.

    Mason took a step forward and I flinched... He gave me a sad smile and turned to the front door.

   "Wait!" Without even noticing I stopped him..."uumm a-are you h-hungry u-uncle Mason?...''

    His features changed...his sad eyes smiled a little bit.

  ''Starving'' he offered a half smile, we walked to the kitchen and I started heating the meals.
