The girl who didn't know

•Chapter 12•

Amelia
We skyped for a really long time, even Sam came and talked for a while. I kept on laughing at Ashton as he kept zoning out and shifting while she talked. Then he would stutter when she talked to him directly and I couldn't help but let it all out. All he did was glare at me and I could see Kasey and Danny chuckle to themselves.

Once Aliza had fallen asleep, I realized how late it had gotten and I smiled at my siblings. "Alright bozos, I'll talk to you guys later, work in the morning" I tell them. "Okay..." Kasey saddened "tell mom to call me tomorrow and I'll plan a visit down there soon" I grin. "Alright! Bye Lia" Danny smiled and Ashton waved "bye Mel".

"Bye, I love you guys and goodnight" I tell them softly "love you too and good morning from over here" they laughed. I gasped "oh yeah! I always forget! Why are you guys up so early!?" I asked. "Not important, love you bye!" They laughed and before I could ask again they hung up.

How rude...

I shut my laptop and carry Aliza to her room, laying her down and kissing her forehead. I head out and shut her door quietly before I went back to my room and flopped on my bed.

Sam soon came running in and flopped beside me with a laugh "hello my bestest friend" she smiled. "Ew gross" I playfully cringe and laugh while she rolls her eyes. "So I'm picking out your outfit for tomorrow night, and don't say I can't because we have to look fancy and your definition of fancy is skinny jeans and a crop top".

I huff "I don't wanna wear a dress" I pout and she rolls her eyes "oh hush, you're gonna look so fabulous, Harry will have to ask you out". I turn my head so that I was looking at her "no! I don't want to date him!" "That doesn't mean you don't like him". I glare at her while she smirks at me. "Come on! What can go wrong?" She asks and I sit up, crossing my legs.

"What could go wrong? Sam he's in a boyband that is known all over the world! Once I step into that, I'm never coming out, not to mention that if I get chased by the paparazzi Aliza could be put in danger!". She sighed "Aliza would be perfectly fine and you know that, when was the last time you had a boyfriend? Not to mention that you and Harry connect like magnets!". I roll my eyes "you're being dramatic, I'll admit he's cute and sweet and his eyes sparkle when he laug-" I cut myself off and saw Sam grow the biggest smile.

"Mmhmm" she smirked "okay so I like him, just a little! But how do we even know he likes me back? And how would Aliza feel?" I ramble. "Don't start the rambling please" she begs and grips my shoulders "look, breathe! He likes you back, trust me. And Aliza loves them all" she laughs. "Now, I'm doing your hair and everything tomorrow and you will thank me" she smirks before standing up.

"But-" "no buts, you have no say in this and I mean it. Goodnight!" She calls and skips out of my room, leaving me with my thoughts.

I just admitted that I like Harry Styles.

**********Next Morning**********

As usual, my alarm goes off making me want to throw it out the window and into the neighbors pool. I restrain myself and slowly get up with a groan. I pull the covers off and head over to Aliza's room to see she was up as usual.

I grab her back pack and place an outfit in case Janie takes the girls out to do something and a pair of pajamas. "Alright babes, what toys do you want?" I ask and she claps "I want Barbie and airplane!". I laugh "what a strange combination but alright" I smile and place her toys into her bag.

I lift her from her crib and give her a quick bath before changing her into a cute and combing her hair. "Mommy I want more plane toys!" She tells me and I smile "since when did you start liking planes?" I ask. She smiles "I want to fly" and I couldn't help but look at her in fascination "okay baby...we'll get you another plane soon".

She giggles and hugs me "but for now, let's get you to Lilly's" I tell her and she squeals. I grab her bag and put it on her before sliding on some shoes and leading her out the door. Janie greeted us happily and Lilly appeared grinning "Aliza!" She squealed and they both disappeared immediately.

"Thank you again Janie, I owe you a lot" I smile and she takes my hand "no need, I enjoy both yours and Aliza's company! You and Sam must come over and have tea with me some time". I nodded "we will I promise!" I tell her and she grins "good! I'll see you soon love" she waves and I waved back "bye!".

I entered the house with a grin "that woman is so nice...I want her to be my grandma" I tell Sam as she comes down the stairs. "What's wrong with your grandma now?" Sam laughs and I look at her "she's always mean to me and smells like sandwich meat". Sam lets out a loud cackle and shakes her head "oh I love you" I smile and hop up the stairs to get ready.

I take a quick shower and change into my uniform before throwing my hair into a messy but cute bun. I grab my phone and bag before jogging down the stairs, missing the last step and landing on my ass.

Although Sam couldn't see me due to her position in the kitchen, I could still hear her laughter. "Shut up Sam!" I groan and stand up, rubbing my butt. "I can't even see you and it's still funny" she calls and I enter the kitchen with my middle finger up.

"You love me" she smirks before biting into her Apple "sadly I do" I sigh and grab an orange. "I'll meet you there, I wonder if Jack has seen what's happened yet" I tell her as I make my way out. "Oh shit he's gonna kill us!" She screeches and I laugh "well, if I don't text you when I get there, check his trunk".

With that I made my way out.

*****

I enter the shop to find it oddly quiet...where's Jack?

"Jack?" I call and I didn't hear an answer but a boy in an apron came from the back. "You must be the new guy!" I smile and stick my hand out to shake his hand. His eyes lingered on me for a while before he shook his head "u-uh yeah! I'm Alex" he smiles and shakes my hand.
"Have you seen the other employee? Tall, cute but gay?" I ask and he chuckles "yeah, actually he was just looking fo-".

"Amelia!" That voice screeched and I smiled "ah, there he is" I say causing Alex to laugh. Jack came marching from the back and he chucked my apron at my face. "Aw! Even when you're about to murder me, you still have my apron prepared" I coo as I place my hand over my heart. "Where's Sam? I'm gonna kill both of you!" He states with a puff of his chest.

I tie my apron around me and roll my eyes "calm down Jackie boy" I laugh. "I can't! Because my two best friends are dating the loves of my life and didn't tell me!" He screeched. "We aren't dating" I tell him and he then shuts up "we're friends, the pictures were out of context and we were just having lunch" I explain.

If I have to explain this story once more, I'm going to chuck a brick at someone. "Oh...well! You still became like, best friends with them! You're best friends with them! You have their number and you've hung out with them!" He stated. "Yes it's what friends do, I thought you knew that" I state sarcastically as I head behind the counter next to Alex.

"This is serious! Tell. Me. Everything."
