32| Complications
Amelia
"Come on Amelia are you ever going to get ready?" Ana asked jumping on my bed not caring much if her new dress might get wrinkled. I buried my head underneath the covers and sighed.
"I don't want to go.Can we do it next time?" I asked her under the sheets.
"Nope." she said pulling the covers down to reveal my face and I groaned in annoyance. Seriously doesn't she have anything better to do?
"What happened to you anyways your mum told me that you have been here all day." she questioned narrowing her eyes at me.The truth is I was still a bit shaken from yesterday's events with Harry and I wasn't in the mood for anything today especially going clubbing. I had other things to worry about.Like for example my relationship with Harry. After what I saw I'm a bit worried of what is going to happen with us everything seems to be against us and right when I try to forget who Harry is something happens and reminds me the worst way possible. I love him,I really do but is love enough to keep us going?
"I'm not feeling very good." I said and faked a cough but she didn't buy it. She put the back of her hand on my forehead and exhaled deeply.
"Yeah right.You're perfect, what's the problem Amelia?" she asked crossing her arms over her chest. I didn't reply though and she raised her eyebrow at me urging me to speak.
"Nothing." I lied.
"Did anything happen yesterday?" she asked and flashbacks of yesterday filled my head making me sweat.No not this again...
"I like you a lot Amelia.Give us a chance."
"I love you too Harry."
"Police hands in the air."
"Don't do it Harry. "
"It was the only way."
"Everything will be okay."
"It won't Harry. "
"Amelia?" Ana called waving her hand in front of my face trying to get my attention. I hadn't even realised I had zoned out. I blinked a few times to get rid of the memories and looked at her with an upset expression.
"Yeah." I finally managed to say.
"So happened anything yesterday?" she repeated.
"It's just...erm...Marcus kissed me." I decided to say because I knew she wouldn't leave me alone if I didn't.It was better that to tell her about Harry.What was supposed to tell her about him?
"He what?" she shouted standing up from the bed quickly...too quickly.
"He did and he asked me to give us a chance." I said looking down at my hands.He really made things more complicated for me.
"And what are you going to do now?" she asked.Really what was I going to do?I hadn't thought of it till know I was too busy with Harry.
"I really don't know Ana.I can't say yes because I don't like him like that and I can't say no because I'm afraid I might hurt him." I said and looked at her pleadingly.
"I don't know Amelia but don't give him hopes if you don't want him."
"I won't. At least I will try not to."
"But we can't cancel our night out because of this so now please get your ass up here." she said with a playfully tone making me laugh maybe for the first time today.
"Okay." I said and stood up. I walked to her and looked at my pink pyjamas and then back at Ana who looked amazing in her hot pink short dress with her straightened blonde hair and the simple make-up on her face.Okay now I'm jealous.
"Let's see what we can do." she said taking her chin in-between her fingers and tapping her heels on the wooden floor. I smiled at her innocently.
"Go put on the dress." she said pointing at the piece of clothing lying on the chair behind me.
"Fine." I said rolling my eyes at her and took the dress in my hands before going in the bathroom to change my clothes. I got rid of my pyjamas and put on the pretty dark blue dress that I bought recently taking my hair off the messy bun.Thank god I had showered earlier.I smiled at myself on the mirror and walked back to my bedroom where Ana was waiting me fixing her make up.
"Here I am." I said with a smile putting my hands on my hips. She looked at me and clapped her hands.
"Perfect, let's put on some make-up and straighten your hair a bit." she said excitently and I groaned rolling my eyes.
"Is it really necessary?" I asked.
"Are you crazy!Of course it is."she pulled me towards the chair near my bed and sat me down.She then grabbed some of my make-up stuff from the bathroom and the straightner and came back placing them on my desk.
"When I finish with you you'll look like a different person." she exclaimed applying a bit foundation on my pale face. I nodded and closed my eyes as she continued her job.
"I'm almost done." she said after a while and I looked at her as she searched through her bag to find something.
"Here it is." she announced bringing the red lipstick in front of my face and applying it carefully over my lips.
"Now rub your lips together a bit and wait for me to straighten your hair."
"Fine." I groaned.I really can't wait any longer I'm getting impatient.
"Be careful not to burn me." I told her.
"Don't move so much and you'll be safe." she replied with sarcasm taking my hair in her hand.
"Oh by the way I saw someone today when I was coming here." she said trying to make a conversation and my eyes almost fell out of their sockets.
"Who?" I asked curious and scared at the same time.
"I don't really know him but he was close to your house and was somewhat staring at your window. I don't know. When he saw me approaching though he run away." she finished explaining and my heart was beating fast now. Could it be...no he's not that crazy to come here in that time.
"He looked hot though." she continued and I looked at her with wide eyes and a questioning look on my face.
"What?" asked.
"What?He was." she defended herself.
"He was tall and masculine and had curly hair I think.You know that I love curly hair on guys." yep it was definitely Harry. A small smile make it's way to my face but I tried to hide it from Ana before she could see me grinning like an idiot. That boy.
"Finished."
"Finally." I said and stoop up fixing my dress a bit and then turned around to face Ana who looked at me with a big smile on her face.
"Perfect." she shout.
"Shh,don't shout like that." I told her and went to the bathroom to look at myself on the mirror.Ana followed behind me and stood by the doorframe still with that grin on her face.
"Come on I don't think-" I started to say but stopped as soon as my eyes landing on my reflection on the mirror. My eyes widened and I looked amazed in front of me,this girl was definitely not me my twin sister maybe(if I had) but me no. I looked back at Ana who gave me a thumbs up and then back on the mirror.I actually looked really good, my eyes had that smoky effect and the black eyeliner made my blue eyes pop.The red lipstick made it look even more dramatic. And finally my hair,I have never seen it so straight before in my life I always let it natural but it looked perfect like this.
"I love it,thank you Ana." I said and hugged her lightly.
"It's not like you had a choice. Now put on your heels and your jacket and let's go because Marcus is outside." At the mention of his name my smiled dropped and I started feeling uncomfortable.
"H-how do y-you know?" I stammered.
"He text me stupid." she said showing me her phone and I nodded my head.
"Okay." I said feeling a bit unsure.I put on my heels and took my jacket with me getting out of the room with Ana.
"Don't worry about him." she reassured me and I smiled at her weakly.
"Are you leaving Amelia?" I heard my mum ask as I was about to leave and I walked to the living to talk to her.
"Yeah I'm- " I said and stopped when I saw that she wasn't alone.You have to be kidding me.
Why?
Why?
"Oh Amelia Mr. Grey came here about five minutes ago but you were upstairs. " she explained and I nodded. I could feel my hands start to sweat as I looked at him with my lips slightly parted trying to say something.
"Hi." I managed to choke out.
"Hello Amelia." he said giving me a small smile. I knew that his presence here was for no good I could sense it from miles away.
"What happened? " I asked in a low voice.
"Erm... you know Mr. Grey came to tell us that..."she trailed off looking at Mr. Grey and mentally begging him to continue.
"That what mum?" I urged her.
"Mr. Travis died yesterday, we found his body today morning and we think that the person who did this might be still out there.That's why I came to warn your mum." Mr. Grey finished for her and I looked at both of them trying to act somewhat surprised...but all this acting was actually killing me inside.That poor man died yesterday and it was from Harry's own hands.
"That's horrible. " I said truthfully and mum nodded coming by my side.
"And I feel terribly guilty.Imagine how his family feels now." that's exactly what I feared the most.
"He had-d a f-family?" I stammered feeling even more awful.Wait? Did she say she felt guilty?
"But why are you feeling guilty?" I asked confused with a frown on my face.She looked at her feet hesitating to speak to me but eventually talked.
"I had kind of asked him to look after you." she said.
"You mean spy on me.Mum how could you do that?" I asked raising my voice, so he had seen every time I would sneak out to see Harry. Did he tell her anything? I was starting to panic no he couldn't have or else now I would be in deep shit. But Why?
"I was worried and you would go out every night and I was just worried about you Amelia." she tried to explain herself.
"I can't believe you." I said disappointed by her actions. Mr. Grey approached us with a sad face and patted my mum on the shoulder.
"It's not your fault." he told her in a sweet tone and then looked at me.
"Amelia your mum wanted just to protect you."
"That wasn't a good way and now the poor man is dead." I replied angrily. Nothing could have happened if she didn't ask him to spy on me everything would have been fine now.
"He didn't die because he was looking after you he was attacked maybe on his way back or else you would be with him now and not here." he said trying to act professional as he straightened his posture and put on a serious face.
"Amelia?" Ana's voice echoed through the hallway. I had totally forgotten about her.
"I'm coming." I yelled back and looked back at my mum.
"We'll talk later." I told her giving her the 'we aren't finished yet' face and hugged her,it was better not to leave like that it would make her more sad than she already was. I said goodbye to Mr. Grey and walked back to Ana who was standing by the door with her hands on her hips.
"Sorry." I murmured and we both got outside.
"Oh there's Marcus." she exclaimed pointing to the direction where his grey brand new car was parked.I took a big breath and followed behind her as she literally ran to car. She opened the door and sat on the passenger's seat.
Smart move Ana my inner voice said pleased. I don't know if I could bear to sit next to him after what happened yesterday I just wouldn't feel comfortable. I sat back and brought my face in-between the two seats.
"Hi Marcus." I greeted him my voice remaining low.
"Hey." he said excitedly turning his head a bit to look at me as he started the car and that was pretty much the conversation we shared through-out the whole drive to the club. He and Ana would talk a few times mostly complaining as she repeatedly changed the songs on the radio but I myself remained silent lost in my own thoughts.
"We're here." Marcus exclaimed happily and I got out of the car closing the door behind me as I looked at the club in front of me. 'Jack's Club' was written in big shiny letters on the front and a security guard stood by the door in complete black clothes looking scary. What kind of club is this? It looked nice though almost new and I could hear the music buzzing from inside but I had also that feeling inside me the one that told me that something was going to happen...and it was going to be bad.
