It's your fault

4 days after...

"Cannot wait to head home, Italy is only good for a few days, not a whole week." I hear Amanda announce over at the kitchen.

I rub my eyes as I sit up on the couch, I look around the living room of the apartment to see it like it was since we came and stayed. Amanda's mattress - that we took in turns of sleeping on - was still laying in the middle of the room, our belongings mostly everywhere as the blankets and sheets were messed up.

In two more days we leave back home, It only felt like yesterday since we got here and now we're leaving again.

For the last 4 days, Amanda and I did our own thing as Adam studied for school. I felt bad for him, because he had to put up with us chattering in the background as he worked.

But knowing Adam, he was fine with it, if we were happy, he was happy. Like it always was with him.

"Can you believe they haven't even called to check up on us?" Amanda asked, suddenly sitting next to me.

"They're probably busy." I keep it short, in which she frowns too.

"Maybe– but they could have messaged and just asked. Boys are absolutely unbelievable."

I frown at her, "Why did they have to come over here anyway?"

"They wanted to go over Ace's plan–" She stops herself midway. "Um, Keith needed to work on some.. stuff."

"I don't believe you.." I huff out at her dumbness. "You don't need to lie to me."

"I can't say what they are doing over here Elle.. if Ace hasn't told you then I can't." She keeps her eye contact on her lap, as she frowns.

"I still hate these rules.."

"I do too Elle, but it's the rules.. you have to go by them."

"Yeah I know."

We sit in silence for a few seconds before she sits up straight, like a lightbulb flashed in her mind.

"What if we go and see them later on?" She asks and I give her a questionable stare. "I mean we're leaving in two days, going to see them for a few hours shouldn't hurt?"

"Sure, if that's what you want to do. But don't try to change the subject Amanda, why did they fly here really?"

She breaths in, "Okay look if I tell, please don't make a big deal about it or act differently to Ace. Because if he finds out I have told you, I'll be dead."

"I promise, now tell me?" I shift on the couch so I am now face to face with her.

"Ace had or has plans to ruin Maxwell and his gang... Keith has been thinking about it for a while and then he finally told Ace that he will do his plan. Only if he does a good job.." She explains whilst she emphasises most of her words.

I frown at the news, now I can understand. "So thats why Keith wanted me gone from the house? To keep Ace concentrated?"

"Yep, you're apparently a distraction to Ace.." She nods.
