I realise the updates are extremely slow and I'm so sorry!! This is a extra long chapter for you guys though, warning that it also goes from 1 to 100 really fast but I wanted to show how fragile Amanda is. I added the previously just in case.

Previously: Amanda is stuck  in the outskirts of the city  In the middle of the night with no ride home. She calls Lachlan... 

"Hello?"

"Hi Lachlan, it's Amanda. I know it's the middle of the night and I'm not sure if you remember me but..." I feel my heart beating rapidly. Breath Amanda, in and out.

"Of course I remember! How are you?"

"Um actually that's why I called, I'm in a bit of a mess. Are you anywhere near 127 Sixth Ave?" I relax at his calm voice.

"Yeah I'm at my house at the moment which is only a ten minute drive from there, why do you want to know?"

"Well I'm kinda stuck, I don't have a ride or any money to get a bus and I was wondering if you would give me a ride?"

"Wait so you're on the street, in the outskirts of the city, alone, in the middle of the night, with no money or ride?"

"Maybe..."

"You are insane! I'm on my way now though so stay where you are."

I felt instant relief knowing that someone is going to pick me up. Not just anyone though, Lachlan was going to pick me up! I hope he wasn't sleeping or recording though, then I would feel extremely bad. 

He did say it's a ten minute drive and I can do something while I wait so why not read a chapter or two of Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer. I'll just lean against this post and read while I wait.

"BEEP BEEP" (bad car horn noises)

"What the heck...?" I whip my head up from my book to see a silver car pulling up right in front of where I'm standing. I see the left window roll down.

"Hey Amanda! Hop in"

"Sorry Lachlan I thought you were someone else" I explained as  I got into the passenger seat.

"No problem, where am I taking you?"

"My place please, which is 27 Chassé St"

"Fancy, but sure. So why are you out here anyway?"

"Yeah about that..." Was I really going to tell him?

"Yeahh? I'm waiting" Screw it.

"Well I was feeling a bit under the weather and decided to get a few of my photos developed. By the time I had left, I realised I didn't have any money left for a bus"

"Not that I don't mind picking you up, but you could of probably gotten a taxi and payed him when you got back?"

Ha as if that would ever happen!

"Mhm... hey could you turn on the radio?" I ask trying to change the subject and avoid answering this question.

"Sure, which one?"

"This" I said pointing to my favorite pop radio.

"Really? Pop music? Not the Drake radio?"

"Yeah of course, It's my jam! Plus not everyone is a big Drake fan" He glares at me as I started dancing around in the seat as Wild Things by Alessia Cara started playing. "Could you turn it up a bit more? I love this song!" I've heard this song so many times before I knew the lyrics by heart so I started to singing along.

"Find table space to say your social graces

Bow your heads, they're pious here, but you and I, we're pioneers

We make our own rules, our own room, no bias here

Let 'em sell what they are sellin', there are no buyers here

So gather all the rebels now, we'll rabble-rouse and sing aloud

We don't care what they say, no way, no way

And we will leave the empty chairs to those who say we can't sit there

We're fine all by ourselves

So aye, we brought our drum and this is how we dance

No mistakin', we make our breaks, if you don't like our 808s

Then leave us alone, cause we don't need your policies

We have no apologies for being..."

As I started signing the chorus Lachlan joined in.

He was joining in the the middle of the song? I looked over to him and it probably looked like I was going to punch him.

"What? I only know the chorus!" He said defending himself.

"Whatever" I replied shrugging and we both went back to singing.

"Find me where the wild things are

We'll be alright, don't mind us, yeah

Find me where the wild things are

We'll be just fine, don't mind us, yeah

Find me where the wild things are

I lose my balance on these eggshells

You tell me to tread

I'd rather be a wild one instead

Don't wanna hang around the in crowd,

The cool kids aren't cool to me,

They're not cooler than we are

So aye, we brought our drum and this is how we dance

No mistakin', we make our breaks, if you don't like our 808s

Then leave us alone, cause we don't need your policies

We have no apologies for being...

Find me where the wild things are

We'll be alright, don't mind us, yeah

Find me where the wild things are

We'll be just fine, don't mind us, yeah

We will carve our place into time and space

We will find our way, or we'll make a way, say hey, hey

Hey find your grace, don't you hide your face

And let it shine, shine, shine, shine, shine, shine

So aye, we brought our drum and this is how we dance

No mistakin', we make our breaks, if you don't like our 808s

Then leave us alone, cause we don't need your policies

We have no apologies for being...

Find me where the wild things are

We'll be alright, don't mind us, yeah

Find me where the wild things are

We'll be just fine, don't mind us, yeah

Find me where the wild things are"

"Do you sing much?" Lachlan asks.

"Uhh I guess so, I listen to music a lot so I know most of the lyrics and I like singing along. Why?"

"You're really good at it, like you have a good voice"

I blush. No one has told me that I'm good a singing, I normally sing to my self, when I'm alone.

"Aww thank you Lachlan! Sorry but I can't say the same about you. You're not really cut out for it"

"Ha! Yeah I know it's not my best trait, I'm more known for my Pixelmon knowledge"

"You don't say? What type of Pokémon is a Golbat?" I ask trying to stump him.

"Poison and flying" he reply's almost automatically.

"What about a Clefable?"

"Fairy"

"A Fearow?"

"Normal and flying" Lachlan looks over to me now with a smirk on his face.

"Humf ok Pokémon master"

"Yo Amanda? Is this your stop?"

"Yep! Thank you so much" I say as I start  to get out of the car, "Hey did you want to come in and have something to eat? I mean I kind of dragged you out of your house in the middle of the night, It's the least I can do... You don't have to if you don't want to though" I rush starting to get nervous again.

"Ha, sure I would love to" Lachlan reply's in a soft voice, which instantly calms my nerves again.

I take a few steps away from the edge of the road as he parks his car properly.

-=+=-

"Do you want some mac and cheese?" I ask entering my apartment with Lachlan behind me, who's looking around.

"Uh depends how well you make it, I have been told mine is amazing" He reply's with a smirk.

"That's only because you've lived in America!" I defend. "Speaking of, please say cool for me"

"Ok, cool?"

"See!! You're losing your aussie accent!"

"Whatever" Lachlan says brushing it off. "About that Mac and cheese though?"

"Yeah, yeah I'm making it now. Just sit down" I reply gesturing to the kitchen stools.

I grab the stuff I need from the pantry and start. Meanwhile Lachlan spins around on the stool admiring the area.

"So this is just your place?" He asks glancing over at me.

"Yeah, well kind of... my parents own it and I pay what I can"

"Ah ok! Are you still in school then?"

"I'm actually doing an online photography course at the moment"

"I probably should've been able to guess that considering the amount of photos on this wall. Did you take them all?" He ask standing up and admiring the photos.

"Most of them I guess, my parents did take a few and gave them to me to put up there. But other then that yeah" I say as I walk over to the living room.

"Some of these are really amazing!" He says smiling at me. I blush "Hey is this your sister? You look exactly the same!"

I freeze up at the words. Thoughts that I pushed a away a long time ago come crashing into my head. Thoughts about Delilah. Thoughts about that one day. Thoughts about the funeral... 

Shit. I can't handle this right now, I need to get away.

"Sorry I have to go to the bathroom" I manage to say before rushing off leaving Lachlan confused.

I dash towards the direction of the my bathroom and somehow manage to open the door with tears streaming down my face. I don't bother to shut the door behind me. Instead I sit on the floor bring my knees to my chest. I completely switch off to the world as I sit on the freezing cold tiles crying.

My mind starts to repeate the memories from car crash. Stuck in the taxi screaming for her to wake up and answer me. I want it to stop...

 "Amanda..." Please make it stop!

"Amanda! I'm here. It's ok. Hey it's ok" Lachlan says bring me back to reality. He is sitting next to me on the cold floor with a arm around my shoulder. Making me feel safe and protected. "You were shaking and repeatedly saying her name. Tell me about her... Delilah"

"She loved acting, took classes a few times a week in the city..." I hadn't  talked to many people about this in the past four years so it felt pretty good to be telling someone.

"Yeah, what else?"he urges.

"Everyone loved her, she always had me and a bunch of friends with her" I started smiling thinking about all the amazing things about my twin.

A/N I'm back with another chapter, this time with some dialog!! :D I have written a chapter with an update on everything and a few other things I want to say.

Thanks, Craft_Battle_Girl ♥
