In The End

Our Little Secret

"Do you like her?" George asks.

"Yeah I do but it doesn't matter as she doesn't like me back." Reece says.

"Uhh yes she does she just doesn't want to admit it." Blake says.

"That's hard to believe." Reece says.

"Trust me she's all over you." George says.

"Trust me, we're just friends. I wish we weren't but we are." Reece says.

"I bet it's James." Blake says.

"What's James?" Reece asks.

"That's making her to scared to admit it." Blake says.

"Admit what? She doesn't like me." Reece says.

"I think deep down you know she does." George says.

"Just ask her, she will probably bite your head off but you won't know unless you try." Blake says.

"What do I say?" Reece asks.

"Do you like me? Would be a start." George says.

"I'll ring her." Reece says

"Go on son." Blake says.

Reece takes out his phone and dials Amelia's number.

"Heyy Reece." Amelia says.

"Amelia Harper Mcvey I like you soo much, more than a friend. I just want to know if you feel the same." Reece says.

"Whoa I I don't know what to say." Amelia says.

"The truth." Reece says.

"The the truth is I I suppose I like you more than a friend too but there can't be an us just trust me." Amelia says.

"What?! Why?!" Reece says.

"It just won't work... You can't mention this to anyone, not even Blake and George." Amelia says.

"Ok whatever." Reece says annoyed.

"Promise." Amelia says.

"Promise." Reece says.

Amelia ends the phone call.

"Well, what did she say?" Blake and George ask.

"That she didn't like me, which I knew anyway!" Reece says angrily.

"Mate, are you sure that's what she said." Blake asks.

"Why would I be lying?" Reece says walking off.

"Reece, don't be like this." George calls.

"I'll talk to her." Blake calls.

Reece stops in his tracks and turns around to face Blake and George.

"Don't you dare, just leave her alone, she needs space." Reece says before turning back around to carry on walking.

Reece and Amelia didn't speak for a while after this, Amelia didn't really speak to anyone.

3 weeks later

"Reece, talk to her. Or get Blake or George to. She won't listen to us but I bet she'll listen to you." Sarah says on the phone to Reece.

"She won't listen to me... Or any of us." Reece says.

"Please just try." Sarah says with a worried tone in her voice.

"Ok, I will do but I can't promise that she'll say anything." Reece says.

Next day

Reece gets on a train to go to Amelia's house, to try and talk to her. He gets there and knocks on the door to be greeted by James.

"What are you doing here?" James asks.

"Sarah asked me to come down, to try speak to Amelia." Reece says.

"She won't speak to you, she hasn't spoken to anyone in 3 weeks." James says.

"Oh it's you Reece, come in." Sarah says butting in."

Reece goes over to Sarah and hugs her.

"She's in her room, just try your best." Sarah asks.

Reece goes upstairs and stands outside Amelia's room.

"Just try your best Reece, that's all you can do." He says to himself.

Reece knocks on the door before walking in to see a slim, pale Amelia lying in bed.

"Oh my god, Amelia what's wrong with you." Reece says.

What's he doing here? Why can't everyone just leave me alone.

"Speak to me Amelia, please." Reece says.

He walks over to her bed and sits on the end.

"Why aren't you eating or even just speaking." Reece says.

Amelia stays quiet.

"Is it what we spoke about, on the phone?" Reece asks.

Amelia flinches.

"So it is. I can't believe you're making yourself I'll over this. Please just speak to me Amelia. Why won't you give us a go?" Reece says.

There is silence.

"James." Amelia says quietly.

"What about James?" Reece asks.

Reece asks loads of questions but Amelia stays silent.

"Should I just go?" Reece asks.

"Stay." Amelia says quietly.

Reece lies next to Amelia and brings her in for a hug.

"I'll be here, for when ever you're ready." Reece says.

"I'm scared... Ffor you." Amelia says.

"Why?! What for?!" Reece asks.

Amelia takes a while to reply. "The last time he"

Amelia was cut of by James walking in. Amelia jumped out of Reece's arms.

"Has she said anything to you?" James asks Reece.

"Yes, but not a lot." Reece says.

"Well what does that mean?" James asks.

"I think you should leave." Reece says.

"No, I think you should just leave." James says.

Seriously!? Why does James have to be like this?!

Reece gets up and ushers James out the room, shutting the door behind them.

"Can we not do this? For Amelia's sake." Reece asks.

"For Amelia's sake." James says walking off.

Reece walks back in.

"What where you going to say before James walked in?" Reece asks.

"The last time he he hurt him. My my last boyfriend. I mean I guess he was in the wrong but but James didn't have to do that." Amelia says trembling.

"Oh my god Amelia, come here." Reece says pulling Amelia into a hug.

"You can't tell anyone about this." Amelia says into Reece's chest.

"I won't." Reece says.

I'm so glad I got this of my chest.

"I'm not going to hurt you Amelia." Reece says.

"I know that, just James doesn't." Amelia says.

"Amelia you don't get how much I like you." Reece says.

"I do, I feel the same." Amelia says, a tear rolling down her cheek.

"It can be our little secret." Reece says.

"I'd like that... But I'm still scared." Amelia says.

"In the end everything will be ok." Reece says.
