the next day was monday and amelia woke up to the smell of pancakes. she knew her mom was trying to make her feel better but it was also a way of her saying 'your going in no matter what'. she rolled out a bed, remembering the previous night she spent with reggie and alex, before changing and going downstairs. "morning momma" she smiled

"good morning baby girl" emily kissed her on the forehead and handed her a plate of pancakes

amelia took the pancakes and sat beside her father at the table "morning dad" she kissed his cheek

"morning hon" he smiled softly "how are you feeling today?"

"better than i was on friday that's for sure" amelia smiled "just gonna avoid him"

emily patted her daughters cheek "i'm glad your feeling better" she smiled "i don't like when your sad"

"i picked your car up from julies over the weekend, your keys are in the cupboard" mitch told her

"thanks dad" she grinned as she finished her pancakes "i'll be home later, it's the school dance tonight, flynn is forcing jules and i go"

"okay well we'll see you before you go" mitch smiled up at her

amelia nodded and glanced at the clock "oh i should go otherwise i'll be late!"

"are you picking julie up?"

"no ray offered to take her today, so i'm meeting her at school" amelia said jumping up and grabbing her keys "bye family"

"bye honey" they replied with a small chuckle

~*•*~

amelia walked into school and noticed people's eyes on her, she sighed realising that people had heard about what happened. she felt vulnerable, and just when she was about to turn and run away, flynn ran up to her with a smile. "hey girly"

"hey flynn" amelia smiled

"how are you feeling?" she asked

"i was feeling better, but now it looks as though the news has spread as fast as wildfire" amelia sighed

"yo just cause she's better than you doesn't mean you should stare at her" flynn yelled at everyone in the hallway, making them turn away in fear

"did i mention that i love you?" amelia giggled slightly as they made their way to julie who was dancing in front of bed locker "hey weirdo"

"hey, what's up?" julie smiled

"nothing, just glad to see you back to your weirdo self" flynn chuckled, making julie roll her eyes

"how was your weekend?" julie asked amelia "luke told me what you had planned"

"i had time to wallow in my own self pity and writing songs" amelia smiled slightly "i processed it, and i'm avoiding it, so let's move on"

the pair nodded while flynn changed the topic "so how's the band? still hot? still talented? still dead?"

"amazing. luke and i spent the whole weekend writing songs. come on, wanna hear them" julie grinned

"well duh" amelia and flynn said

the three of them made their way to the music room, where julie and amelia sat on the piano and flyin stood beside them.

"music was flowing through me like it used to when i used to write with mom" julie grinned "this is the first song luke and i wrote, hers the chorus. cause we're standing on the edge of great. great. great."
