Jamie's outfit above.

Amelia Smith

"What are you doing here?" I ask him. His natural blonde hair is styled back. He is wearing grey skinny jeans with a light blue denim jacket and black turtleneck t-shirt.

"I came to talk to you." He says nervously.

"Oh."

"May I?" He asks gesturing to the room and I realize that we are still at the door.

"Yeah, come in." I open the door wider to allow him in.

He comes in and we both awkwardly stand.

"Do you want anything? Juice? Water? Coffee?" I ask him.

"No, I'm fine. Can we sit?" He says.

"Yeah." I walk to the living room and he follows me.

We both take a seat and I look at him, questionably.

"I'm here to talk, Amelia. You know at the club, I was going to say something but none of you wanted to listen." He starts.

"I miss you, Milly." He confesses. "I miss Nicole, I miss Emily, I miss my best friends. I know what I did was so wrong. I acted like a fucking dick. I'm so sorry." He looks down.

I sigh. "Why did you do it, Jamie?"

"Because I love her Amelia."

"Nobody is judging the fact you're in love with Camilla. We're mad because you cut off all your relationships and you lied to some of us."

"I know. It was so fucking childish. I just hope that you guys forgive me." He says remorsefully.

I sigh. "I forgive you, Jamie."

He looks at me in surprise.

"I respect the friendship we had for over ten years so I really want to keep it."

He smiles. "Thank you."

****

"I kind of miss this," Jamie speaks as he snacks on a bag of chips.

"What?"

"Staying with you while you get your hair and makeup done."

"Oh! I don't. You used to annoy the hell out of me ."

He chuckles and starts chewing his chips loudly.

"Jamie," I warn.

He laughs and looks down at his Rolex. "Dude, I gotta go. I have a date with Camilla."

Did he just call me dude?

"Can you please pass my phone?"

"Sure." He grabs it from the table. "Wow! You still use an iPhone 7+?" He asks in a surprised tone and hands me the phone.

My phone is the red iPhone7+ which came out March last year.

"Yes, I love this color. iPhone 8 and X don't come in this color."

"Yes because it was a limited edition," Jamie says in a duh tone.

I shrug. "I was with Liam when he bought his. He insisted on buying one for me but I said no. I'll probably buy an 8+ soon though."

"Why not an X? Oh right! You've always liked bigger phones." He remembers.

"Yup." I nod my head.

"Well, I gotta go. Bye, Katy and Leo. It was nice meeting both of you." He waves and leaves.

"Your friend is so hot." My makeup artist, Katy giggles.

"Yes, he is." I chuckle.

She asks me to close my eyes and she starts applying eyeshadow on my eyelids.

A while later, she finishes and I finally open my eyes.

It's getting late and Liam is still not back so I text him.

Me: Where are you?

Liam❤️: On my way back. Do you need anything?

Me: No.

Liam❤️: Alright. I miss you, Can't wait to come back😘😘😘

I roll my eyes. He acted so heartlessly when he was leaving and now he's acting sweet?

"You're so pretty," Katy says after she finishes applying dark red lipstick on my lips.

"Thank you." I smile at her through the mirror.

I love the makeup.

Leo comes and fixes my hair a little bit. "All done." He claps his hands together.

"Thanks, guys." I hug them both and they leave.

I stand in front of the rack with very beautiful gowns. I can't decide which one I'm going to wear.

I hear the door open and close. Liam must be back. I hear footsteps behind me.

"Still haven't decided?"

"Yes, they're all so pretty," I answer without turning to face him then I turn around and I see him standing with his hands his pockets and the hotel staff drops a bunch of shopping bags on the couch.

He instantly smiles as he sees me. "Look at you." He says, lovingly.

He walks closer and puts his hands on my waist. "You look so beautiful." He whispers looking down at my lips. "I can't believe that you're mine, all mine." He fixes a strand of hair.

I'm blushing under all this makeup so I smile at him and kiss his cheek. "So how was your outing?" I ask him.

"It was good. They all couldn't believe that I left you alone here." He chuckles.

"Yes, you acted so heartlessly." I push him away.

"No." He laughs. "It was so hard for me. I just had to act cool if not I knew I wouldn't be able to leave." He says honestly.

I just smile.

"I got you some stuff." He points at the shopping bags and a bouquet roses.

What Liam got for Amelia

"Awww, did you choose everything by yourself?" I love the flowers. Liam is an angel. I love him.

"No, Nicole and Jasmine helped while Emily and Colton went for a date." He chuckles.

"This is so sweet. Thanks, babe."

"You're welcome." He pecks my lips.

"Help me choose a dress, please." I pout, cutely.

"Nope, I gotta get dressed." He says.

I widen my eyes. "This country is making you so mean. You never say no to me." I say.

"I'm sorry." He laughs and goes to the bedroom.

I turn back to the rack and finally choose a beautiful simple red gown. I remove my silk robe and quickly put on the dress.

I wear a diamond bracelet and put my shoes on.

Amelia's dressing

Liam also comes out of the bedroom looking ravishingly handsome in his black Armani suit with pants and a white dress shirt underneath and a bow tie. His eyes land on me and he freezes. Checking out my body inch by inch till he finally clears his throat. "You look nice." He says.

I raise my eyebrow in confusion.

Nice?

Fucking nice?

Is that all I get?

****

"Jamie came to see me," I inform Liam on our way to the gala.

"Yes, I gave him our room number and the name of the hotel."

There was something off with the way he answered. It's like he's angry and he doesn't want to talk.

"He apologized," I say.

"Good for him." He says dismissively and continues what he's doing on his phone.

What the hell?

"Why is it even here in London?" I ask because I was confused and surprised when I saw him standing at our suite door.

Is he here on business?

Did he travel here to apologize?

"Apparently Camilla felt 'lonely' so she asked him to come."

I allow Liam to go back to his stupid phone and keep looking out the window for the rest of the car ride.

We arrive at the hotel where the gala is taking place. As the limo door opens for me, cameras start flashing at me.

Liam gives out his hand to helps me out of the car. As I step out, the reporters start asking him and I questions about our relationship and our friends while the paparazzi just continue flashing pictures.

The security helps us to go into the party safely. Liam's hand is now on my waist. As we go into the ballroom, I see several people all dressed exquisitely and expensively.

The place is decorated very beautifully. People are chatting and whispering. Some are seated patiently waiting for the main event to begin.

Liam leads us to our table. I only recognize two people seated there: Adam and Jason Black.

"Amelia!" Jason exclaims as he sees me. He stands up and gives me a hug.

"Hi, Jason how are you?" I smile.

"I'm so good. This is Kayla." He points at the pretty girl he was sitting next to.

"Hi, Kayla. I'm-"

"Amelia Smith, I know. It's nice to meet you." She says sweetly.

"Nice to meet you too." I smile back.

Kayla is so pretty.

"Hey, Liam." She says.

"Kayla." He nods his head.

I finally sit beside Liam and he grabs my hand under the table and holds it in his. "Where is your bracelet?" He asks.

"What bracelet?"

"Your Eiffel tower bracelet."

Oh! He's talking about the bracelet that he got me in Paris.

"It's at the hotel, why?"

"I thought you wear it every day." He says and starts playing with my fingers.

"No, I don't. I just wear it a lot but not like every single day."

I wear the bracelet quite a lot honestly. I usually remove it when it doesn't go with my outfit or something.

"You should."

"Why?"

"Because...... it's a token of my love." He smiles.

"No, it's not." I laugh. "You gave it to me way before we started dating."

"But I bought it when I realized I have feelings for you."

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the 2018 annual charity gala. We have a lot of sponsors tonight and-" The MC starts.

"Amelia."

I turn back to Liam.

"Promise me you'll wear the bracelet every day." He says seriously this time.

"Only if you promise you'll never leave me."

He looks into my eyes. "I promise."

"I promise too." I kiss his cheek.

He smiles and we both turn our attention back to the MC.

Later in the evening, Liam and Jason dragged me to introduce me to a lot of people.

"These are Mr. and Mrs. Bloom, they are investors in Black Enterprises," Jacob says.

"I'm Amelia, it's nice to meet you." I smile at both of them and we shake hands.

"Amelia Smith. Quite a beauty as they say." Mrs. Bloom says kindly.

"Thank you, you are a very beautiful couple as well," I say.

Mr. Bloom looks at Liam. "She's a keeper." He winks.

"Yes, she is." Liam agrees, proudly.

As the Blooms move away, I spot a very familiar person. I nudge Liam a little. "Liam, look it's Jason."

"What do you mean?" Jason asks, confused.

Oh yeah! They have the same name.

"Her ex." Liam in a bored tone.

"Oh my God! Are you serious? Is that him?" Jacob points with his head.

"Yes," I answer nervously.

"He's coming over." He whispers in my ear.

"I know."

Liam clearly isn't amused by the situation. He has a dark and annoyed expression on his face.

"Are you nervous?" Jason laughs.

"Yes, I fucking broke his heart!" I whisper yell.

Jason gasps. "Damn! Did you cheat-"

"No, of course not! Shut up!"

Jason reaches us and I realize how much he's grown hotter. He was obviously hot when I dated him but he's hotter now. His dark brown hair is in a medium cut with a natural flow. He has grown some stubble which I find really attractive. I love it when Liam grows his!

"Amelia!" Jason (my ex) hugs me.

"Hello, Jason." I hug him back.

"I was over there and I saw you so I was like: I have to come and say hi. You look really beautiful." He says after we break away.

"Thank you, Jason. You don't look bad yourself."

"Hey, man." Jason gives out his hand to Liam.

"King." Liam accepts the handshake.

King is Jason's last name.

"This is Jason Black, he is Liam's cousin." I gesture at Jason who is awkwardly standing there.

"Hi, Jason." Jason (Black) laughs and they shake hands.

"Hello to you too, Jason." Jason (King) also laughs at their name joke.

"Excuse me," Liam says and leaves.

"So how's Mae? And Austin?" Jason turns to me.

He always had a good relationship with my siblings.

"They are both doing well? How is Mckenzie?" I also ask him about his older sister.

"She's good. She's actually getting married next month."

"Oh my God! I'm so happy for her." I say, excitedly.

He looks around. "Yes. So did you come with your family?"

"No, I came with Liam. He and I are-"

I was going to say dating but he cuts me off.

"Yeah, I know." He cuts me off with a smile.

"Yeah?" I laugh, feeling embarrassed.

"It's cool, trust me. You two were bound to happen anyway." He shrugs.

I chuckle. "Why?"

"Well, when we were in Noble High, people were always wondering why you two never spoke to each other and they kept on rooting and shipping you."

"But remember how much it annoyed me then?"

"Yeah, it did. But do you know that there was a time when Liam came to me and said he would crush my life if I ever broke your heart?"

"What really?" I laugh.

"Yes."

"It's good that you didn't."

"But you broke mine instead." He says sadly.

The smile on my face drops and I instantly start feeling bad till Jason starts laughing. "Come on, I was just messing with you. It was years ago. You're beautiful and all but I'm over it."

I hit his arm. "That was not nice!"

"What's not nice is that you still hit people!"

"Shut up." I roll my eyes.

I look around the room and I don't see Liam.

"Looking for lover boy?"

"Yes." I laugh."

"You better go find him," Jason says.

"Yes, it was so nice seeing you again, Jason." We hug and I leave to find Liam.

I go back to our table and see Jason (Black) and Kayla making out like this is their last day on earth.

"Get a room, guys." I tease and take a drink.

They quickly pull away and they both start laughing. Kayla's cheeks are deep red now.

"So are you guys like together?" I ask them.

"Yes, Amelia. Why did you think I introduced you guys?" Jason says in a duh tone.

"Whatever, have you guys seen Liam?"

"Nope." They both say and go back to kissing.

I call him but he doesn't answer. I call again and again but still nothing.

I hope everything is okay.

I decide to go outside to check on him and as I am walking, I see Adam talking with some people.

"Hi." I smile at the people then turn to him. "Adam, have you seen Liam?"

"He is outside by the pool," Adam says.

"Alright, thanks."

I go where the pool is and see Liam with his phone in his hand, meaning he had purposely been ignoring my calls.

"What the hell your problem?" I yell, angrily.

"Kiss me." He just says.

I widen my eyes in disbelief. "No."

"Why?" He asks still staying calm.

"Because.......because I hate you!" I snap.

I don't know where that came from because I definitely don't hate him. I love him. I'm just so fucking frustrated.

Liam frowns and pain flashes in eyes. "Don't say that."

I feel really bad as I see his face but I don't show him that. "You've been acting so weird since we got here! If I did something wrong or you're mad at me in some way, talk to me and let me know!" I start crying.

I'm sorry, Kayla. Your makeup was amazing.

"Please don't cry," Liam says.

"I have to cry, Liam because I'm upset! I was so excited when you asked me to travel with you. I thought we were going to have fun and spend time together but you keep acting so fucking weird and it bothers me. I get that you had to go out with the group and have fun but then when you came back you started acting fucking weird, ignoring me through our whole car ride here and saying that I look fucking nice!" I yell through my tears.

Liam sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose, looking down. "I'm sorry. Please stop crying." He says coming closer to me and pulling me in a hug.

"I want to go home." I cry softly this time and by home, I mean Bluefall not the hotel.

"Okay, let's go." He kisses my forehead.

He pulls out his phone and calls someone. "Get the car ready." He says and hangs up.

He and I start walking to the car and I freeze. "The paparazzi. They can't snap me like this." I panic.

"They're not there anymore." A bodyguard says, suddenly appearing.

We reach the limo and Liam opens the door for me before going to the other side to enter.

The car starts moving and he gives me a tissue box. "Here." He says.

I collect it and wipe my tears.

"Amelia, I'm sorry." He looks down at his lap.

I ignore him and close my eyes.

This chapter is boring, I know. I really wanted it to be so much more but I went through a major writer's block. Thanks for reading.

Do you guys want me to do a cast?
