Amelia collapsed onto her bed sobbing, she allowed herself 5 minutes to get it out of her system before sitting up and trying very hard to stem the flow. She couldn't believe she had just done that, told a lie like that to Xander, it was stupid and she was regretting that she even opened her mouth.

She heard her phone ringing in her discarded jacket but ignored it, it was probably Jamal, she didn't want to speak to him. It'd only remind her more of what she had said to Xander; she had slept with Jamal? Yeah right, never slept with anyone, never mind someone she had only been going out with for two weeks. Xander had just been getting on her nerves so much, she had just snapped, said the first thing that come to mind, that would shut him up.

She groaned and buried her head under her pillows, her phone kept on ringing, she growled, picked it up and stamped on it.
Amelia made her way to the kitchen and pulled a can of coke out the fridge, she sat down at the breakfast bar and gulped it down, she made a bacon sandwich and wolfed it down. It still didn't satisfy that dull ache she felt in the pit of her stomach, mistaking it for hunger she continued to eat and drink until she was stuffed. Yet that ache did not go away, she started to cry again, her head resting on the cold metal surface. She had just lost her best friend, and it hurt, it hurt more than she ever thought it could.

She was angry, sad and she finally realized, jealous. Flo was such a pretty girl and ashe obviously liked Xander but...could Amelia have those same feelings for Xander? She didn't know, things were too complicated, she needed to sleep, to think things over, what she would do, how she do it.

Suddenly her stomach heaved and she shot up the stairs to the bathroom and made it just in time to bend over the bowl. She moaned as she sat down and leaned her head against the cold wall, her stomach heaved again.

Ten minutes later she had finished chucking her guts up and she stripped off and got in the shower. She felt so weak, all these different emotions making her dizzy, and most if all she felty dirty. What must Xander think of her now, he might never want to speak to her again. Amelia couldn't help thinking it all as her fault, she was always the hot-tempered one, starting arguments for no proper reason.

She shut the shower off, slipped a towel on and dripped into her room. She put on some cotton short and a green tank top and slipped into her covers, it was freezing and she shivered and curled up into a ball.

Amelia smiled weakly as Jamal squeezed her hand, they were at a theme park. Right now seated next to each other on Nemesis, waiting for it to start.

Their cart started to inch forward slowly and Amelia squeezed her eyes shut and waited for that horrible heart-wrenching drop, it didn't come! Instead she was soaring through the air, faster than the speed of a cheetah, it was amazing, it was exhilarating! She laughed at every sharp turn or dip they took, it was not in the least bit scary, Jamal on the other hand looked like he was constipated.

The ride shuddered to a stop and the safety bar floated up with a hiss, Amelia jumped down and stumbled, before she fell face first on the floor a strong arm shot out and caught her. Jamal grinned at her and she gave him a peck
"Thanks" "It's cool, hey let's go on the log ride next" Amelia winced "I don't wanna get soaked" he stepped back with a mischievous grin "Chicken!" he whispered. Amelia raised an eyebrow, "I'll go on the log ride if you go on stealth" Jamal's smile vanished
"Oh, no way", he exclaimed, looking over Amelia's shoulder, she turned around to follow her gaze.

Her face froze when she saw Xander walking hand in hand with Flo, laughing and talking. They didn't seem to see her and she felt that pang in her heart again but brushed it aside, she shrugged and faced Jamal gain
"Whatever" he peered at her "Babe, are you sure?"
Amelia glared at him "Yes I’m sure, Jamal-" Jamal opened his mouth but she put her finger to his lips
"Just stay out of it Jamal, it's really got nothing to do with you...or me anymore".

Jamal shrugged and they walked towards another rollercoaster.

The thing is, it had been 2 months since Amelia or Xander had talked. Amelia wanted to but was scared of what would happen.
Xander wanted to apologize to her but he was too stubborn. Both of them believed it was not their fault and was waiting for the other to make the first move, and had it been left to them they never would have made up. Maybe when they were both old and wrinkled one would apologize, but then it would be too late. No someone else decided to take charge of the situation, and a good idea it was too.

Hey guys, did you love it? I hope so anyway, comment please my lovely chubbly readers.
