Amelia was happily packing away, humming softly until a soft knock caught her attention and she turned to see Maxie with a sad look on her face,

❝Hey Maxie! Thanks again- what's wrong?❞ The young pilot asked.

Max cleared her throat and walked in, sitting on the bed and patting the spot next to her,

❝Amelia... I, uh... I got some bad news.❞ Max said quietly and looked up at Amelia with glossy eyes.

Amelia frowned her brows and sat down next to Max, the admin took a deep breath and gently grabbed Amelia's hand,

❝Amelia... I... I haven't been honest with you. I'm sorry I haven't but... you aren't going to be able to see Allen... ever again...❞ Max said quietly.

Amelia grew sad at this and held Max's hand,

❝Why not? I-Is he mad at me? D-Did I do something wrong?❞ she asked.

Max chuckled darkly and smiled faintly with tears going down her cheeks,

❝I shouldn't have made you forget...❞ Max mumbled.

❝Forget what? Max, you're scaring me.❞ Amelia stated nervously.

Max sighed and looked up at Amelia,

❝You loved Allen and than he died... I thought it would be best to take away the memories you made to ease the pain... I did this with the others too... because I felt I needed too to coop with everything... but Allen's dead...❞ Max finally said.

Amelia looked at Max.

What was this feeling? Pain? Hurt?

Heart break?

❝Max... why? Why would you do such things? Weren't we happy before?❞ Amelia asked and now had tears in her eyes,

❝You were all happy... and I ripped those memories away from you so you could start a new... I thought I was doing what was best...❞ Max mumbled.

Amelia was at a loss of words and had so many different emotions running through her:

Pain, Grief, Hate...

Amelia suddenly had darkness covering her eyes as she let go of Max's hand and stood,

❝Get out...❞ Amelia quietly mumbled.

❝Amelia-❞ Max started but was cut off by a picture frame hitting her in the face.

❝I SAID GET OUT!❞ Amelia roared and huffed, tears streaming down her face.

Max sat there for a moment, registering what just happened. She stood and walked off, not looking back as she gently closed the door. Amelia went to pick up the picture frame she threw but stopped as she saw the picture.

Alfred, her, and Allen. Amelia hooking her arms around the two males with her signature smile, Alfred with his signature closed eyed smile, and Allen with his rare genuine smile as he looked at the both of them.

Amelia felt more tears going down her cheeks as she gently picked up the photo and hugged it to her chest, soft sobs escaping her as she fell to her knees with her head down low,

❝You promised you'd wait for me... You promise you would be there when I returned...❞ Amelia mumbled quietly than looked at the ceiling and screamed in pain and grief.

For the first time in forever: Amelia Earhart lost her spirit.
