Secrets

Chapter 3

"What the fuck, Amelia? Should I watch you eat from now on? Like a fucking toddler? Luke was mad.

And I got pretty defensive.

"I'm twenty, not five. I know how to take care of myself. It's just hot today, so chill out."

"I won't fucking chill out if I see my little sister almost passing out on a street!"

"Okay, I think we should all calm down now. Let's go to a car and eat some dinner at home. Amelia, are you feeling better?" Michael looked at me.

I nodded and stood up. Ashton was holding my arm and I could see he bend down a little to lift me.

"I can walk by myself, thanks."

He just narrowed his eyes at me and said nothing. Still holding my arm, we went back to car. I rested my head on a window and closed my eyes. I could tell the atmosphere was tensed.

The next day I woke up feeling normal. It was Sunday so all boys were home. Luke was still mad at me, even after eating huge dinner.

I took a quick shower and got dressed as usual. I met all guys in the kitchen and this time I made myself a breakfast. It was just a smoothie, but it had nutritional values. Nobody commented on my choice of food, I was glad. I sat down with them at the table.

"How are you feeling?" Luke asked.
"I'm okay."
"Maybe you should eat some more?"
"It's enough, trust me."
"I'm just worried about you. I don't want you to become sick, you know." He smiled sadly.

I knew he always was overprotective and I really appreciated that. It was nice to know that someone is taking care of you.
"I know, Luke. I'm really grateful for such a big brother but I'm alright, everything's okay."

He then ruffled my hair and went back to the conversation with guys.

"I need to check the raport from Ryan tommorow. If everything went good, we can arrange a meeting." he said to Calum

"I was talking with him earlier and he's almost done with it.'

I had no idea what they were talking about, but I wasn't interested in it anyway. But one thing surprised me.

Does Calum work with Luke?

"Wait. Calum, you're working with Luke?
"Yeah, I'm the Deputy of CEO. You didn't know that? He smiled at me.
"No. I actually still don't know what Ashton and Michael are doing." I turned to them. Ashton chuckled.
"I'm family care doctor and Michael is a cardiologist"

Well, fuck me.

"Wow, it's great." I tried to sound excited.

I lived with fucking two doctors and two IT specialists who literally could hack my devices.

Moving out from my parents, I wanted more freedom. But I guess I couldn't have it here.

After breakfast, I locked myself in my room. I wanted to distract myself from my thoughts which were literally killing me. I hated those moments when I was overthinking, so basically all the time.

I couldn't smoke inside and I guess Luke wouldn't let me go outside just yet, when I didn't know the city.

So I had to find another way to distract myself. I really wanted it to be harmless so I decided to call my parents.

Which was a bad idea. After talking to them I felt even worse. I didn't want to cry. I hated crying.

My heart was beating so fast that it made me feel nauseous.
