Secrets

Chapter 12

Amelia

"You've got to be kidding me" Luke said when we entered the living room.

"No, I'm not. And I also have one more thing to say. I actually decided it's the best time to start living on my own. "His eyes widened. "Look, I've been here for almost two months. I'm starting uni next month and I'd like to have my own little space, where I could invite my friends over and you know, live like an adult."

He shook his head and looked away. He seemed hopeless and for a moment I hesitated.

"I can't understand what's the problem with living here. You can invite friends here, you can even have parties. We won't interrupt you."

"I know, it's not that."

It was hard to explain without hurting him. For the whole time I was with them, I felt like in a cage. Someone was always observing me, what I did, what I ate. It's started to be exhausting.

"I-, I just don't feel comfortable here. I'm trying to do everything like you all want, because if I don't, you're not happy with me. I'm just tired of thinking how to do things right." I admitted.

"I'm sorry you feel that way. We are sorry." He looked at the boys and they nodded. "You could say it earlier-"

"I did."

"Alright, why don't you wait a couple more weeks? I'll try to stop with all of this."

I hesitated.

"Okay, two more weeks and then I'm looking for my own apartment."

That way he couldn't do anything. He couldn't force me to go to the doctor or eat or whatever, because he knew, after that I would just move out.

A little cruel.

"Guys, let's go party tonight!" Calum yelled when he entered the living room.

We were watching a movie and everything was pretty much back to normal. Luke calmed down and chilled out a little.

I was sitting between Mike and my brother, while Ashton was in the armchair.

"No, man. Not today." Mike groaned. "We're tired today."

"Oh, come on. It's been a while! And we weren't in the club with Amelia yet!" He said excited.

"Woah, woah, woah!" Luke immediately straightened up. "She's not going with us, man." He laughed.

"And why's that? She'll have a little fun, and you're be there, so nothing bad is going to happen." He tried to convince him.

"We didn't agree yet if we want to come or not anyway."

"Let's vote!" Calum clapped his hands.

While Ashton and Calum agreed, Michael and Luke wanted to stay home.

It was up to me if we would go to club or not.

And I didn't like to have the last word.

Calum was smiling at me, he looked excited. They lately had a lot of stress at work. I knew he wanted to chill a little, to have fun.

So of course, I couldn't say no, even if I knew I wouldn't like it.

"Yes! That's my girl!" He hugged me quickly before saying that we all should get changed.

I went to my closet to find some propare clothes. I didn't really have dresses, skirts or tops, so I decided on sleeveless black jumpsuit with a straight neck line and wide legs. I let my hair fall on my shoulder and put small golden necklace. I took my small purse and threw my phone and wallet inside, and finally I put my dr Marten's shoes.

I came out of my room and saw that boys were not ready. I sighed.

And they say it takes girls forever to get dressed.

I'm sorry!

My life's a mess right now and I need to take care of that first. I don't think I'll update anything new this week. I hope I'll be able to do this on the next weekend so fingers crossed.
