Andrew looked around the parking lot hoping that Francis hadn't left. He searched for Francis car and he spotted it at the other side and noticed that Francis was almost getting inside.
"France" he called as he ran to meet him.Francis hands held the car door confused as he searched for the voice that called his name. He notice Andrew running towards him and he waited to hear what he had to say.He hoped it would be something nice and hopefully nothing mean.Francis knew that he doesn't deserve anything from Andrew but Andrew is the only real friend he ever had even if he didn't want to admit it sometimes.He was stund when Andrew suddenly pulled him into a hug but it didn't take long for him to relax and hug him back, his eyes heavy with tears."You moron. You call me your friend and you didn't tell me about your family"Francis allowed the tears to fall. He didn't care if he looked like a cry baby at this moment. All that mattered is that he got his friend back."I'm sorry drew" he apologized again as he released the hug to look at him. "I'm sorry for being such a bad friend"Andrew smiled softly "it's okay man, you don't have to apologize. Although if you had told me about yourself from the beginning this probably wouldn't have happened but it's okay we can still fix it. We can still make it up to my sister or better yet our sister"The words caused a huge grin to form on Francis face making him look like an excited little kid "does that mean i'm forgiving?" He sounded hopeful but by the excited look on his face, he seem to already know the answer."Yeah" Andrew grinned back at him and before he knew it, he was pulled into a hug."Thanks drew. I promise you won't regret it" He smiled again but didn't reply.After Francis finally let go, he opened his car door and looked at Andrew "get in I'll take you to the hospital"Andrew shook hi head "just take me home. I need to freshen up before going there cause I plan to stay till evening"Francis nodded and Andrew could still see the look of guilt in his eyes but he smiled to assure him that all was well.The car ride was short but the friends made a good use of the time as they charted and laughed. It felt like they were getting to know each other all over again.After dropping Andrew at his house, Francis left promising to come visit Amelia later. The only time he ever showed his face at the hospital was the day Amelia fell down the rooftop. Since then he never came to visit probably due to guilt.Andrew walked into the silent house and he realized that his parent were probably still at the hospital.He sighed as he made his way upstairs to his room. His parent has stayed with Amelia at the hospital and refused to return to their jobs but he wasn't complaining because he knew she needed them right now.He passed by Amelia's room on the way to his but suddenly stopped. The room had been empty for weeks now. It has been long since he came into her room.Slowly, he pushes open the door and walked in. Everything was just how he remembered and that caused a sad smile to appear on his face.He looked towards her bed which was neatly made. The pink sheet was neat and the pillows were arranged. He wasn't surprised though; one thing Amelia hated is dirt.He looked towards her study table which sat directly in front of the window. There were a lot of books mostly romance novels.He could vividly remember that Amelia is a sucker for romance ever since she was little. He remembered she would always force him to tell her a fairy tale romance story at night and her favorite was little mermaid. He had totally memorized that story because she made him tell her every night before going to bed.A tear fell from his eyes as he noticed a photo frame on her bed side table beside her alarm clock.It was a picture of them both from last year Christmas. They were both wearing a Christmas hat and were smiling at the camera.He moved forward and picked it up. After all he did to her she still kept it beside her. She still cared for him; she wanted him to realize his mistake and come back to being her brother but he was so blinded that he didn't realize.He held the photo frame close to his chest as he sobbed "i'm sorry lia please forgive me" he muttered continuously as tears ran down his eyes. He couldn't lose her now. Not when he finally wanted to be her brotherHe didn't know how long he stood there sobbing and holding unto the frame when suddenly the telephone began ringing from downstairs.He place the photo frame back to it's normal position and rush downstairs to go get the telephone."Hello" he said into the receiver."Son, thank goodness you're home" his mother's teary voice poured out in happiness and relief causing his heart to beat a little faster."Mum is everything okay?" He asked even as his heart continue to pound against his rib cage. He was very anxious to hear what she called to say."Everything is fine son" she answered and sniffed "I just want you to come to the hospital quickly. Your sister is awake"Andrew rushed forward through the hospital hallways; he couldn't wait to see her, to talk to her and apologize for every single pain he caused her. He just hopes she forgives him and let him be the brother he never was to her.He pushed open the door to her room and slowly walked. There she sat on the bed looking at their patents with a small weak smile on her face.A bandage was neatly tied to her head and as he looked at her, he was reminded once again that it was all his fault but she's awake now; he was given a second chance to be with his sister and he won't mess it up.Seeing Amelia alive and okay brought tears of happiness to his eyes. He finally got her back.Patricia was the first to notice him "oh Andrew you're here"Amelia followed her mother's eyes and looked towards his wayThe minute her eyes met his, he notice her tense and she began breathing hard. Her expression held fear and she was shaking"Honey is something wrong?" Patricia asked noticing her changed expression
Life became hell and lonely for Andrew. His parent refused to speak to him after they found out what he did. He also kept his distance from Amelia and it hurts to see she was doing much better without him.He could only watch her from her hospital room window and he could see her laughing with her parent and Dave. Not once did she request for him. It was as if she had totally forgotten about him.Francis was around most of the time to comfort him. Apparently the whole school had to keep their distance so she won't get into another panic attack.It took two weeks before Amelia was finally released from the hospital. She was brought home in a wheel chair because she had broken her legs but the doctors assured that it would be healed soon.Andrew had to hide in other to avoid Amelia. Yeah it was tough but he had to do this; he had to do this so she will get better quickly but it seems it was all wishful thinking on his part.One night, after everyone had gone to bed, Andrew heard Amelia
Two years laterThe sound of the alarm clock filled the room followed by a groan from the shirtless figure sprawl on the bed. He sluggishly reached for it and turn it off then he proceeded to get some more sleep but a voice called from outside of his room."Get up Andrew it's time for school"He groan once again and used the pillows to cover his ears but the voice yelled again "get up Andrew don't make me come over there and wake you up myself" That threat got him out of bed immediately and he groan again "I hate mornings" he mumbled to himself as he walk towards his bathroom.After ten minutes, he was already dressed, standing in front of his mirror fixing his hair. As he combed through his hair, his eyes caught the photo frame on the bed side table; it was the picture he took from Amelia's room two years ago after she was taken to Paris.He sighed and picked it up with a smile "how are you doing little sister?" His finger trace her smiling face in the photo.He missed her so much
The day dragged on slowly and by each passing second, Andrew could feel his nerve increasing rapidly.Soon he would be seeing his sister and he had no idea how she would react.He just hopes everything to be okay. He wanted his sister to be fine so he could freely fulfill his promise to her. Anyway, he shouldn't be worried because the doctor said she was okay.Soon the bell rang signifying lunch hour. He wasted no time as he exited the class. He still has to inform his friends about the good news.There were already sited around their usual spot charting. The only person missing was Erin and Andrew realized he hadn't seen her all morning.He shrugged off his thought and walked towards the table "hey guys" he greeted and took his his beside Quinn."Hey" they answered back and immediately went back to charting. It seems like Quinn was interrogating Francis and Kaitlin on the level of their relationship.Even Andrew was curious though cause they have been going out for some time now but
Drew calm down already" Quinn scolded in a whisper as she stood beside Andrew in the airport. Ever since they arrived at the airport, his hands kept on tightening around hers. His heart was beating fast in nerves.His parents stood beside him. There held a calm expression but Andrew knew they were also nervous. We haven't seen Amelia in two years and we didn't know what to expect.Francis stood beside Quinn. He had been silent through out the car ride and he was probably also nervous.Andrew watched watched everyone carefully. he noticed a young girl dressed in baggy clothes and huge glasses looking towards their way and smiling."I think that's her" Quinn whispered but Andrew wasn't sure because she looks nothing like his sister except for her clothes and glasses.She began making her way towards them and his stomach tightened in anticipation and just when he was about to walk towards her, she walked right past him and joined an older couple behind them."Guess I was wrong" Quinn sa
Amelia stared back and fort at her mum and Dad as they sat at the dinning table awaiting their dinner. The moment they got home, her mum had called doctor Rivera but she had no idea what they talked about because she had been in her room unpacking. She was glad the room remain neat and untouched. After the call, her parents have been silent and refusing to meet her eye.She thought of her supposed brother she met at the airport and she wondered what was the story behind him. If he really is her brother, why didn't she remember anything about him and why didn't doctor Rivera say anything about him.It was all so confusing and she was waiting for her parents to fill her in but they seem reluctant to do so. She decided to approach the topic herself."So" she began breaking the unbearable silence "are you guys going to tell me about this brother of mine?"She watched as they both shifted in their sit. She could tell that they were nervous but why. If the guy was really her brother all th
Amelia was now relaxing on her bed after the unpleasant conversation she had with her parent.She refuse to let suspicion cloud her mind because she knew what ever her parents were hiding, it's just a matter of time before she finds out.Her eyes fell on her cellphone on her bedside table and she picked it up. Its about time she calls her best friend in Paris.Eliana is doctor Rivera's only daughter after four boys and that is the reason she was treated like a baby even at twenty two.All her brothers were now married men and she was always complaining of loneliness which was the main reason she accepted Amelia with open arms when she was brought to live with them. She kind of played a role in Amelia's recovery.Amelia quickly dialed the familiar number and Eliana's cheerful voice spoke up after three rings."Hey there girlfriend" Amelia smiled "hey ana""You know I'm still sulking because you left. This house is back to being so damn lonely"Amelia chuckled. She could imagine the cu
They sat beside each other with huge smiles on their faces, staring at the beautiful lake before them.The air was refreshing and Amelia wished she could stay there forever.She look at the other figure beside her who was already staring at her with a soft smile on his face."I'll always be here for you lia" he promised with a soft voice, his green eyes staring at her with so much emotion. He gently pulled her to his chest masking her in his warmth and causing her to sigh in satisfaction.She was safe by his side.Amelia's eyes fluttered open and she stared at the white ceiling above her.It was the same dream again.The same dream she has been having ever since she recovered.The green eyed boy in her dream was the person she always looks forward to at night.She had no idea who he was or if he was even real but she knew she felt safe in his arms and whenever she had dreams of him, she would always be in a good mood the next morning.She could recall Eliana always teasing her about h
