| Chapter 17 |
| It was three days since Amelia arrived home and her breakdown and everyone treated her like she was some sick baby. Yes, the doctor wanted her to rest her body, but that didn't mean she had to be under house arrest. Out of everyone there, Lynn was the only one who actually gave her some space. Evertone wanted to do everything for her. Sure, under certain circumstances she would have loved to be treated that way but she felt differently. Letting out a dragging sigh, she decided to see what was there to eat. Checking both corners outside for anyone before she made her escape, she slipped quietly into the kitchen not knowing Justin was sitting there. Clearing his throat,"Amelia aren't you supposed to be in bed?," he asked, making her jump back at her findings. Blushing at her bust, she sat across Justin at the kitchen table. "I hated being stuck in my room so, I came to get something to eat and don't say I could have called someone because I'm big enough to get my own food J," she stated. "Ha ha ha. How do you always know what I'm about to say," he questioned with laughter in his eyes "I've known you long enough to know. You're not always predictable, but I could just tell ok," she laughed. "Well, what were you going to get? I'll fix it for you," he said, getting up from his seat and Amelia following. "Oh no you're not. I want to do this myself, that why I came in the first place. I actually don't know what I wanted though, just something," she exclaimed. Sitting back in his spot he watched her sort through the fridge. Since the day she got back from the hospital, it seemed as though they were the best of friends and constantly was talking with each other.His mind soon drifted to the women he had in his life. I have to make sure the press doesn't get the whiff of Amelia being back and our little addition because that would just break Amelia down again. She shouldn't have to go through it a second time, plus they already know I have Chantel......Chantel, damn! I haven't called her since I've here, but she hasn't called me or I think? Gosh, I'm thinking ahead with Amelia, but Chantel....she...hmmm. Ok, Justin. Who do you love? Amelia or Chantel? Who do you want to keep in your life? Amelia's has always been the one you've wanted and she's been through a lot od shit with you. Chantel on the other hand hasn't and we kinda have been drifting away. I don't feel much for her anymore like I've been feeling since I've been with Melia- Justin train of thought was broken when he heard a loud bang. Looking up, he made eye contact with Amelia's worried and curious eyes. "J, are you ok? I've been trying to get your attention for a while. I was about to resort to flashing you, but I see you've landed back on earth," she teased, sitting down with two turkey sandwiches," While I was at it, I made one for you." "Thanks, but you didn't have to," he said, taking a bite. "I know, but I wanted to. How's Chantel?," cooly asked Amelia. Choking on the piece he had just taken a bite out of, he was shocked with the question."Are you ok? I didn't mean to try and kill you." "Yea, I'm ok. its just that I didn't expect that question. I guess she ok. Haven't talk to her since she made her suprise visit and met our daughter," he said. "Oh, Jisela better have been nice," she said, licking mayo off her finger. "Yea, she was a darling, but Chantel wasn't quite excited. Off of Chantel, I really want you to know that, I'm here for you and Jisela no matter what. I may not have been the nicest person when you came back, but that didn't mean that I felt the same emotions I showed. In many ways I was glad you came back, but not at the same time. We have a beautiful daughter together and I want us to be as civil and kind to each other as possible, so we can raise her in a loving and caring environment," spilled Justin. By now, Amelia had stopped eating to listen to Justin's thoughtful words. She was quite suprised he had said such to her, but she shoudn't have because when ever he opened himself up, he gave you the honest truth and sincerity. "I agree 100% with you. I never intentionally tried to ruin your life you had established when I left, I just got to a point where I couldn't bear with Jisela not knowing you or her other family. Soon enough she would have been asking about her daddy and wondering why everyone has one and she didn't. I almost called you when I was about to go in labor, but I chicken out when thoughts of you turning your back and not believing it was true," said Amelia, little tears began to escape her eyes as she spoke the last sentence. Coming around the table, Justin pulled her in a tight hug. Holding her in his arms felt just like heaven. He hadn't felt like this since the last day he had been with Amelia in a loving way. "Don't punish yourself for somthing in the past. I know you probably regret, but you have to let it go. The most important thing is that she does know me and I will always be there for her." "Ok, I won't. I've ruined my appetite now-," she said, being cut off the Jisela screaming for mommy and daddy. "Ha ha ha ha. I guess it time for us to do our motherly and fatherly duties," he joked. Letting go of each other, Justin headed out first to Jislea's room. Amelia kinda lagged back making a slient prayer. God please watch over all of us and guide me in the right way. I wouldn't be able to bear losing anything, but if thats in store, Please give me the strength to bounce back. Amen. Back Home Chapter 18 |
