Chapter Seventeen

I got home at dinner time so I just sat at the table eyeing my meal

"so how was your weekend honey?!'' Mom questioned with excitement.

    ''Peachy'' yeah... Fucking peachy

She definitely didn't catch the sarcasm in my tone because she kept smothering me with questions.

    " you see! I told you it would be a really good idea to meet up with the girls!'' ...I wanted to tell her that the girls weren't the problem, I love them.

    I decided to keep my mouth shut and excused myself to my room.

     I took a shower and wore my Imagine Dragons sweatshirt, I didn't want to think about anything that happened this weekend or today..I just wanted to fall dead asleep.

   My phone vibrated around 11pm, I opened one eye to check it...

*I'm sorry baby for everything, I love you*

    There goes my sleep. But somehow my heart ached...to see him apologizing like he doesn't want to lose me...like I'm something important to him.

I ended up sleeping at around 2am, so I had a hard time waking up..again.. Mom had to come up to my room and wake me up.

    "Amelia you're gonna be late come on!'' Mom scolded me

''Oh and you have a present.. I didn't get the chance to give it to you last night".

   This made me wake up alright, what present could it be?..my birthday was not until three months from now.

   I headed down stairs after my morning routine and sat at the coffee table in the kitchen.. Mom placed a French toast and eggs with a glass of juice in front of me.

     In the middle of my meal mom placed a medium sized box on the side and a small bag...the box was pink with a little white butterfly ribbon on the upper corner and the bag was black.

    I glanced up at her puzzled, " your uncle Mason sent this to you yesterday when you were at school'' the almost smile I was about to have dropped.

    I hesitantly opened the box to find a new set of black and white headphones with my favorite bands CD's ! And in the bag was a black and red green Day sweatshirt! I gasped in shock and mom patted my back with a reassuring smile.

    "You have to call him and thank him Amelia"..I didn't want to do that! Although I really loved them, I wasn't sure about thanking him for his present or even accepting it.

   My mom was in front of me, calling uncle Mason with my phone because as she said... She knows I won't do it by myself... Like the hell I won't!, But I decided to just talk to him for a minute because my mom let me get away with that grounding thing.

She gave me the phone and went back to the kitchen.

  I took a seat on the sofa and waited for him to pick up.

   ''Amelia?'' He spoke, but I couldn't utter a word.

    "Hello?'' ..I had to though.

" h-hi uncle Mason...'' I managed to let out... "Hey" he said with a bit of.. sadness? I could feel the change in his tone.

     "How are you Amelia?"...i released a breath and answered him, ''i-im good uncle Mason...i-i just w-wanted to thank you for the p-presents...'' My words came out cracked.

    " oh...I'm glad you liked them Amelia'' then silence took over..as I was about to say goodbye he cut me off...

   "Amelia... I'm so sorry..I'm sorry about the other day....I'm sorry I love you this way'' this left me with wide eyes and an open mouth.

    "Amelia?'' What's this feeling?! I don't know what to think anymore... He was suppose to be a bad man, why is he being so nice now?

    " I uumm...i have t-to go...'' And with that I hung up at him.

  The inner me passed out on the floor.
