Amelia's p.o.v;

I was finally released from the hospital and returned home today. It seemed like nirvana as I was laying in my bed. No longer did I have to listen to that awful doctor's voice and advice, it felt good to be back at home. My mind wandered over the events of last week…

"You had only been gone from the house for a week." Ash commented on me after helping me to lay on my bed.

"Even though it's a week, I really missed this place." And attempted to roll over, but remembered my cast hand and pouted my lips.

"You're going to loathe it soon," he joked.

"Why do you say it that way?"

"Because you'll be at home for another two months."

"You're wrong. It's not two months. There is only one month left. The doctor indicated I may return to college in a month."

"Oh, you're serious? I think you didn't know it yet."

"About what?"

"Mom will inform you on her own. I don't want to ruin the surprise, so wait for it, sister. And, remember that you have a cast on your hand so be careful." And

    Amelia's p.o.v;My alarm went off, and I awoke. To turn off the alarm, I searched for the phone where I hit my hand on the bed. I suddenly remembered my right hand's cast. Sh*t! I'm not sure what I'm going to do for the next two months. I sat straight and searched for the phone on the bed again. Since I'm going to be at home, I switched off the alarm and altered the settings. I rubbed my eyes and looked around me. When did I sleep the night before? Did I sleep at all last night, or was this some sort of weird dream? I wasn't really sure how to feel about this whole situation. I had a pretty good idea why it was happening but that didn't mean I wanted to have an experience with it. I took a look around the room.Andrew performed admirably last night. It lulled me to sleep. Wait, I should remember this from last night because a lot happened. He consented to assist me with my book, played music for me, and assisted me in falling asleep. Things that I had assumed would never happen with hi

    Amelia's p.o.v;After Two weeks of working with Andrew on my book every night,"AMELIA! GET UP!" Ash yelled in my ears to wake me up, but I feigned not to hear him by covering my ears."AMELIA!" he exclaimed again.I couldn't take it any longer and awoke, asking, "What do you want?""I've got a game today, come with me.""Don't make me laugh! How will I come with this hand? Are you teasing me? And why should I come with you?""Come with me, it'll be fun.""Do you believe our parents will let me accompany you?""I'll assist you slip out," he said after a moment's contemplation."What?""Yes, I'll assist you in sneaking out. Come along and watch me play.""OK, why are you so stubborn? Are you going to play a prank on me?""No. I didn't.""Even if I come with you, won't you leave me alone and go with your friends?""Let's deal with it later. First, take a shower and change into something good. You're reeking of sweat." And exited the room.After he left, I sniffed myself to know if he's r

    In the hospital,"Doctor, how is the state of my hand? Is it healed?" While the nurse was putting a splint on my elbow and forearm, I inquired.The doctor answered, "After observing your hand, it appears that you have given it continual movement. That's why it took longer than it should have to heal..."Yes, a lot has happened. I couldn't stay at home after finding out my brother had a girlfriend.Mom inquired of the doctor, "Doctor, can she go to college? She's been bugging me all day to send her to college. Will everything be fine?""You are free to send her to college. Her hand is recovering well.""Then why do I need a splint?" I inquired."Because there are some tissues that still need to be healed."I grumbled and told Mom, "Mom! You must have heard him. I can go to college now, therefore you can cancel the leave extension."When we arrived at the house,"Why didn't you come to the hospital?" I inquired of my father.Dad, "I would have gone to the hospital, but my boss gave me an

    At house, While i was eating my food at the dining room table,Dad asked me, "Did you pack your bag with everything you needed?"I said, "Yes sir. I packed it as soon as I got up." I looked up and answered him with my mouth full of food. "What time did you wake up then?" he asked again.It took me a second to remember why dad would have this question. It's probably because he thinks that I don't like to leave home for school. "Seven o'clock,""Please, take caution with every step you take.""Yes, dad.""If you're uncomfortable in college, don't be afraid to call me.""Yes, dad.""And…"Mom intervened and said to him, "Let her eat right away. Later, you can speak with her."Dad nodded his head and continued eating the food on his plate.He whispered to me, "You'd better not forget anything."Mom, "You appear gorgeous today. Did something good happen?""Nah, just a movie I watched last night.""Guess you liked it very much since you're grinning all day."I carried on eating while refl

    Amelia's p.o.v;At home,Andrew knocked on my window, but I had already secured it from inside, so he wouldn't come in. I covered my head with the blanket and pretended to sleep. I eventually stopped hearing raps on the window after a while. I believe he gave up and left.Why is he entering my room right now? Does he wish to witness my pain? After seeing Andrew with his girlfriend in the music club, I have avoided him since then. I am aware that this is not the appropriate response given that, to him, I do not appear to be a friend. How am I supposed to suddenly change my opinion of him? Please don't approach me right now. Atleast, give me some time. It would be simple for me to move on from him if it were just a secret crush, but I love him. No, I won't confess my love anymore to him. I shouldn't be like this in front of him. He is no longer my unrequited love.I grabbed my phone and erased all of his photos from the gallery which I took secretly. I'm giving up my feelings towards you

    Amelia's p.o.v;I saw Andrew and his girlfriend as I was leaving the college. I made an effort to get away from them by entering another way, but Andrew saw me and called my name. Damn!I approached him and gave him a phoney smile as I did so."Hi!"Andrew inquired me, "Hey! I've heard you left the music club. Why did you do it? What happened?""I joined the club to study the guitar, but now that I've learnt it better than before, I can't see any reason to continue, therefore I've left the club.""Senior Jacob also said exactly that to me. Why don't you give joining the club another thought?"His girlfriend spoke to him in his ears as he was asking me.Andrew pointed at his girlfriend and stated, "I forgot to introduce you both. She's Cathy. Catherine. My girlfriend." I answered, "Yeah, I heard that from the club," as I nodded.I gave her a handshake and introduced myself "Oh, and I'm Amelia. I'm glad to have met you."She stated, "Greetings to you as well. You appear lovely. I like y

    After a week, At college, While I was walking to the inside of the college to get to my class, Hannah said "Hey, you're finally out of your splint. How's your hand now?" "Yes, I got it removed yesterday. My hands are fine now but the doctor suggested that I not lift heavy things so I have to be careful about it." "Anyways, I'm happy that your hand is healing. Shall we get to the club we went to that day?" "The doctor asked me not to take alcohol for a few days." "I'm not asking you to get drunk, You can just come and give me company.""After we got there, all you did was dance on the dance floor and I was left alone like a missing puppy who lost its owner."She laughed and said, "Then, I won't leave this puppy alone, promise.""Let's see when we get there.""Does that mean you're coming with me?""If you asked me again, I'm going to deny it." "Okay, fine. Let's get to the class." At the cafeteria, "What are you doing?" Hannan asked while trying to grab the spoon in my right h

    At college, How will I find the fight between my parents and Andrew's parents? I don't even know where I should start from. There are so many places to start, so many different people to start with, so much to look for! How am I going to begin my search without ever knowing what they fought about? I think I should start my search from the storage room. I think I have to dig into their past to know what really happened back then. Hannah smacked my head and asked, "What are you thinking about?" "Nothing." "I heard that Andrew got Break up, after hearing it got happy.""Why did you like him too?" "Not in that way, I felt happy that your rival got his heart broken." "Let me tell you this, my brother and his sister are in love and they're going to get married so Andrew wasn't my rival anymore. Did you understand?" She gave a shocked expression.I continued, "I know it's a lot for you to take in but it's the truth.""You're going to be relatives?""Yeah.""But your parents and his pa

My mom and dad managed to pull off their usual amazing job last week even though I couldn't help them because of my music event. After putting on my bridesmaids dress, I stood in front of my mom and asked, "How do I look, mom?" She said, "You look beautiful, babes. Now, go and get your brother here. The flowers haven't arrived yet." I nodded and walked out of the wedding Avenue to find my brother. While I was searching for him, I saw Mike talking on his phone. Maybe he knows where my brother is.I walked towards him to ask about my brother, but I got called out my name. It's my brother's voice. Mike saw me standing in front of him and asked, "Wh…" My brother called out my name again so I turned away from him and walked to my brother. I told my brother, "Mom called for you."

    After the lunch was over, Mrs Campbell said, "We still have one last thing to do."Mom, "What is it? We did every purchase and the invitations and the presents, right? Did we leave anything out?" "It's the wedding!" And hit my mom. "Yeah." While looking at my mom, it looks like me and Andrew. Their conversation looked funny as ours did. Cathy asked me, "Do you plan to go somewhere after this?" I shook my head and said, "No, why?" "Then, come with us to the pre-wedding party." "Us?" "You, me, Anna and her friends. It'll be fun.""I stopped drinking. It's been a while now. Sorry, I can't go." Anna stood beside me and asked Cathy, "Is she denying again?" Cathy nodded to her. Anna said, "Actually, we're not inviting you. We're forcing you to come. So even if you said no, you are coming anyway. Moreover, it's my last party where I can still chill with the girls as bachelorette." And pouted her lips."Okay, okay. I'll go"Anna, "I never knew it would work for my sister as well."

    At the bridal dress shop, As soon as I entered, I saw a whole bunch sitting on the couch waiting for me. My mom, Mrs Campbell, Anna and Cathy. I asked them after seeing them, "I thought you already finished shopping for the wedding, why didn't you?" My mom asked me to take a seat beside her and told me, "We finished taking outfits for everyone, babes.""Then, what are we doing here mom?""Because there's still someone who hasn't chosen the dress yet.""Who's it?" When I asked her, she just stared at me. When I looked at others for the answer they just stared at me. What are they staring at me for? I asked, "You look like it's me."They nodded together."I thought you already picked up dresses for the bridesmaids."Anna, "Yeah, we did but you didn't show up while we're choosing our outfits so we waited for you.""You make me feel like I'm important." Mrs Campbell, "Ofcourse, you are important. If it wasn't for you, the wedding wouldn't have happened in the first place, I wouldn't

    After Two yearsAt college, In the music club, I let out a yawn which made Hannah give a smack on my head.I whined at her, "What was that for?" "Why are you yawning in the middle of my class? If you want to yawn, don't do it in front of me. Go somewhere else.""Hmph!" I stood up and walked away from Hannah and freshman juniors. I can't believe I'm a senior now. I took out my phone and checked out the group messages in the music club. I smiled when I saw my old group chat with friends like Hannah and Cathy, it was still there even after all these years. I didn't bother to read anything else, instead scrolling through online. I couldn't remember any new pictures or videos from our freshman year."Senior Amelia!" I looked up and saw who it was. It's Carey, one of the juniors from the classical music faculty. "What is it?" "I forgot to bring my guitar today, can I leave home?" I took my guitar and gave it to her and said, "Go and practise with them. We have an event to perform t

    At college, Andrew asked me, "So you came to the house that day to find information related to the fued?" I asked Cathy, "Why did you say that to him?" Andrew asked me, "Answer me, why are you asking her?" I said to Andrew, "Yeah." "What did you find there?" I whined to Cathy, "Help me, Cathy."Cathy said to Andrew, "What do you want with her? Why are you asking her like she did something wrong? She's the reason for your family feud getting solved. If she didn't do that, your sister wouldn't make her dream come true."Andrew, "Yeah, I know. I'm just asking to know how she found those things and how she solved them." Cathy, "It got solved and everything became fine now. So more questions and don't make her feel uncomfortable, okay?" After Andrew nodded, I thanked Cathy for speaking for me. Andrew, "Hey, are you friends with me or Cathy?" Cathy put her hand over my shoulder and said, "She's my friend."Andrew asked me, "Aren't you friend, Amelia?" I looked at both of them and

    At house, I came to my room after finishing dinner and turned off the lights like I went to sleep. I changed my outfit to something dark and took a cap and a mask incase if i got caught, to escape using it. I put my phone to vibrate and looked through the blinds to look at Andrew's room. There wasn't anyone. Where did they go? While i was looking through the blinds, i got a message from Cathy. "We're eating dinner." Then, i should wait for some more time. I sat near the window and browsed through the online. I smiled seeing some cute funny animal videos. A message popped up. It wasn't from Cathy. When i opened the chatbox, i found it to be Hannah. She sent me, "Are you awake?" I replied, "In bed, going to sleep." She texted back, "We're in front of your house. Come out." "Why?" "Come and see for yourself." I sighed and stood up from the window. I changed my outfit and came downstairs. I saw my dad and mom in the living room. "Hannah's waiting for me outside the house." And

    At cafeteria, "What do you want to talk to me about?" Cathy asked while stirring her smoothie. "I want a favour from you.""Go on.""This is a pretty secret mission.""How much?""Andrew shouldn't know about this. And, Anna too. I know you're close with Anna but she's excluded too." "You sound like we're going to do something serious.""Yup! It's something like that.""I don't know why but it's exciting. Okay, what do you want me to do?""To give you this assignment you should know what it is about, otherwise you can't do this truthfully."She leaned towards me and whispered, "Are we going to murder someone?" "No! Listen to me. First of all, answer this question. Do you know that Anna is in a relationship?" She nodded while taking a sip from the smoothie."Do you know who that is?"She shook her head and said, "She'll tell me when the time comes. Why?""I can't wait until she tells you.

After hearing a knock, I opened the door and saw Ash standing in front of me asking, "What happened at the party?" "Why are you asking me like that?""Hannah told me everything.""Then, why are you asking me?" "Let me in." He walked inside the room and closed the door behind him.

    At house, As soon as I entered the house, I went straight to the storage room. I turned on the lights and started to search rack by rack to find something related to my parents. There were so many boxes arranged on the racks. Inside the boxes, there were waste things, used up appliances. Why don't they throw away the unwanted things? Why are they stacking up these here? It's difficult to search since there were so many things and I was confused about what I was searching for. When I stood up, I hit some boxes and everything fell out of the box on the floor. Sh*t! I squatted down and started picking up the things which I dropped, and I found pictures of my mom's school. I took one by one and saw those pictures. Why did she put her school photographs in these boxes? Doesn't she have to keep this stuff in a safer place? While I was picking the pictures, I came across a picture which confused me. My mom was with some girl, whose face looked familiar to me. I took the picture with me a
