Forgive Me- Part 2

Amelia’s POV

It’s been just under two months since Jaime left and honestly, I’m doing okay. Yea it was terribly hard at first being alone but after a while I got used to it again; I got used to taking care of myself, making sure I eat all meals and having to do all the shopping on my own. At first though the hardest thing was just simply taking care of simple things; I forgot to eat several times though out the first two weeks and got lost almost every time I went to do shopping; but now after being on my own for two months I’m beginning to get the hang of San Diego. I do miss him though, more than anything. I just want him to come home again so I can just be with him. Luckily though, there are only three weeks until Jaime gets back. Just three weeks…

I wander around the house aimlessly, it being a Saturday I have absolutely nothing to do. I had tried to sleep in but Simba had woken up at 6 and demanded my attention and I had to go downstairs to refill his bowl. I end up lying down on the floor in the hallway after having circled the house three times already and now I was just bored. I relax into the soft carpet and within minutes Simba had made himself comfortable lying on my back. I groan slightly at his weight but otherwise make not move to get him off me. He had gotten so big over the last two months but he was still my baby and I’m still a sook who will happily lie uncomfortably in order to keep him happy. Sadly however, I heard my phone ringing downstairs.

I roll Simba off me carefully before running down the stairs almost tripping several times on the way to the kitchen where my phone was, trying to get there before it rings out. Unluckily however, just as I pick it up it stops ringing. I sigh angrily as I unlock my phone to check who called so I can call back but as I go into my call log I get a message from Alex. Oh it must have been him.

From Alex: Hey, just checking up to see how you are. I’ll call back later; I’m heading out to lunch now.

To Alex: sorry I missed you’re call; I was upstairs and didn’t get to the phone in time

From Alex: it’s okay. Just make sure that you answer tonight okay?

To Alex: deal! J

From Alex: I’ve gtg, talk to you later J

I smile down at my phone. I miss Alex too, we talk a lot and he listens to me ramble about missing Jaime. Honestly I am surprised he’s put up with me throughout the guy’s tour. I guess he does understand it though… probably better than most. He’s been in Jaime’s position; he has to leave his girlfriend Lisa a lot himself so I guess he feels bad for me. But still, it’s nice to have someone to talk to who doesn’t live back in Australia. Actually, I think I like talking to him more than Becca even. I don’t know, I guess that Becca and I, despite being good friends, we were just never the type of people who chatted about our problems to one another.

Suddenly my phone in my hand began to ring and I almost drop it out of shock. I was too absorbed in my thoughts to be ready for a call. Didn’t Alex say he wasn’t calling until later? The bloody bastard, he could have at least said something in his texts. I answer the phone right away without thinking twice about it.

“So much for going out to lunch” I laugh into the phone.

“Excuse me?” asked a familiar voice. I stop laughing immediately and automatically feel bad.

“Oh! Mum! I’m sorry I thought it was a friend” I apologise

“It’s okay, don’t worry about that” her voice sounded strained, desperate, anxious and full of sadness.

“Mum what’s wrong?”

“Milly…” she cried into the phone.

“What’s wrong?” she didn’t answer, she just continued to sob into the phone. I hear a mumbling and a rustling and soon another voice speaks over the phone.

“Hey Mil” Jason says into the phone, his voice low and robotic.

“Jase, what’s up? What’s wrong with Mum?”

“Mil, something happened… something bad” I could feel my anxiety rise dramatically. Having mum sound so sad, so desperate and then Jase sounding like a complete robot? What the hell? What could have happened to make them sound like this?
