Forgive Me- Part 1

Amelia's POV

I was freaking out. Its midday and they left yesterday! How long does it take?! Did something happen? What if their plane crashed? What if I never get to see him again? My breathing was peaking and my nails were beginning to dig into my clenched hands.

"Amelia! Sit down!" Jason grabbed my hand and pulled me onto the couch. "Look at this," he held out his phone to me. "See? It's almost a sixteen hour flight from Sydney to San Diego, plus they had to get to Sydney and wait for their next plane. They won't be there for a while yet. You need to relax"

"But what if something happens? What if their plane crashes?"

"If you're going to think like that you'll never get any peace. Thinking like that will make you have an attack every time someone leaves the house."

"Okay I know it's not likely, and stupid to be freaking out over. I know the stats..."

"Exactly. Come on; let's go get you a caramel latte. Jaime made me promise not to let you stop going there while he's gone."

I smile at him and agree. "Let me get ready then we can go"

I showered and got dressed before heading out with Jason. I was a little worried about going in. It's been such a long time since I've been here and Peter is bound to ask why.

"Its okay, Peter just thinks you were sick" Jason said from beside me.

"How the hell do you do that?"

"I've known you my entire life, picking up on what's on your mind has become a talent"

"It's weird, like you can read my mind"

"Maybe I can. Maybe I've just always kept my secret talent hidden"

"Okay what am I thinking?" He studied me for a minute considering.

"You want chocolate cake while we're there"

"Okay that's creepy as hell. Please stop that"

"Seriously? That's actually what you were thinking? God I'm good!!"

"Yea yea, whatever Charles, let's go get cake"

When we arrived at the cafe my body immediately relaxed. I inhaled the smell of freshly ground coffee beans and the sweet scent of the pastries before stepping towards the counter. Peter is working; I swear that man does nothing else. He smiles at me as I approach and I give him a shy smile in return.

"It's good to see you again! Are you feeling better?" He asked cheerfully

"It's good to see you too, and I'm feeling a lot better thanks."

"No Jaime today?" My smile faded as he said that but luckily Jason stepped in.

"Jaime had to head back to America. I'm Jason, Amelia's brother" he reached his hand out to Peter who shook it.

"Peter, you were here the other day weren't you? You were talking to Jaime?"

"Yea, you've got a good memory!"

"Thanks" he chuckled "I'm going to miss Jaime, he's a great guy..."

"Yea, he really is" I mumbled.

"So anyway, what can I get you guys? Caramel latte and cake for you Amelia?"

I smiled and nodded

"And I'll just have a tall Cap with one sugar thanks"

"No problem that's $14.50"

I paid him and waited patiently for my coffee before heading to my regular seat. I slide into my seat and think about the huge impact that Jaime has had. He was only here a couple of days but still he has people here that will miss him...

Jason and I sit there chatting and eating for ages. I think he's just glad that I'm not staying cooped up in my room. I check my phone, 1:57 Jaime should be there soon... He said he's text you when he landed! Stop freaking out.

"Hey, let's head home and watch some Disney okay?" Jason said. I smiled at him; he probably noticed that I have started checking my phone every five minutes. We walk back to my apartment, the cold wind whipping my hair. I shiver and pull my coat closer around my body. Jason sees me shiver and hands me his scarf.

"If it wasn't Canberra I would think it was going to snow" he said

"Do you think there's snow at home?" I love snow, Jason, Eliza and I go up for two weeks every year.

"I wouldn't be surprised. There's probably at least three inches on the ground."

"God I wish I could be there"

"Please, we both know you hate coming home"

"Yea but there's snow"

"Touché"

The apartment building was in sight and soon we were inside. I grabbed blankets out of the cupboard and put them on the couch while Jase made us hot chocolates.

We were finally settled down, wrapped up in blankets with hot chocolate while watching Brave. But I still couldn't keep calm. My fingers kept tapping on my mug and I could see that I was annoying Jason but he didn't say anything. I kept glancing at my phone, longing for it to vibrate. 2:45. He should be there by now... I tried to focus on the movie, to keep my mind distracted but it was impossible.

At 3:00, almost on the dot my phone finally vibrated. I practically dove on it.

1 message

From Jaime: hey! Sorry about not texting, we landed at quarter past but we got swarmed by fans at the airport. Just heading home now, call you later?

I sighed in relief, a huge weight just lifted off my shoulders. He's okay. They are all safe, their plane didn't crash. They're alive.

To Jaime: that's okay, totally understand, and you shouldn't call, you just got off an 18hr flight. Go have a bath, have something to eat then go to bed.

From Jaime: that sounds amazing right now. I'll call you tomorrow then.
I smile down at my phone before putting it aside. Brave could finally capture my attention.

Notes

yea so this is basically just a filler... the next one probably won't be much better but its just to establish how they will be on their own... any who... enjoy!! xox
