"Ems do you think its the right decision to meet her?" Matt asks me as he packs my bag for me. The doctor discharged me this evening, telling me that I have to come here again for a check up after a week. I'm glad I don't have to spend the night here anymore. I never liked hospitals.

"I need to get a closure Matt. For the both of us." I tell him, sitting on the bed while I wait for Matt.

I can't help but notice that Lucas is missing, after the Officers had left, he followed them out with Matt. He never came back in. I wonder if he had left for New York already.

"I understand. But I'm going with you." Matt says sternly.

"Okay." I know Matt is just worried about me, so I won't deny it if he wants to accompany me.

I requested to meet her at the police station because honestly I'm scared to meet her at any other place without the protection of someone. So I thought the police station would be the best since the security there can be trusted.

"I'm done with your bags." Matt tells me, beginning to stand up. I follow him to the car and we begin to leave.

"Matt can you take me to your place instead?" I ask him. I'm not sure I want to go back my house just yet. I know if I go there I'll only be reminded of the things that happened in the past.

"Of course. I was about to take you anyway. Besides Lucas is also going to be there." He says.

"What? No! Why is he staying at your place?" I ask him in disbelief.

"Why are you getting all worked up? Would you rather have him stay at your place?" He scrunches his brows, turning to look at me. "He doesn't know anyone else here Ems."

"Yeah I understand. Its just that he makes me nervous whenever he's around." I admit to Matt. Its true. No matter how hard I try to deny the truth, fact is that I'm in love with him. With all his flaws and arrogance, I love him. But I'm not sure he does so this is why I've been trying to avoid him.

Matt smirks. "I know."

"Know what? And why do you look so amused?" I narrow my eyes at him. He looks like he just found out the biggest secret of mine.

"Ems and Lucas sitting on a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" Matt begins to sing.

I swat at his arm, gasping. "Real mature!"

He laughs at me, still singing. I can't help the smile that's slowly creeping up to my face. This is Matt for you, making light of everything. And I don't ever want him to change.

When we arrive at Matt's house, Janet welcomes me with a hug.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you pack your things. I finished my shift yesterday." She says.

"Its okay. Matt helped me." I tell her.

"See Mom? I'm useful when I want to be." Matt boasts, coming to stand beside me.

Janet rolls her eyes at his son. "But you're useless most of the time. Especially at home!"

I laugh at their bickering, this is how its always been. They would have these light quarrels with each other most of the time. Sometimes I envy the relationship they maintain with each other.

"Guys I think I'm gonna lie down." I tell them, cutting them off from their bantering.

"Yes you should. I'm sorry we're being a bad host." Janet chuckles. "Matt take her upstairs. I'll call you down when dinner is ready okay?" She says and leaves for the kitchen.

"Ems you're gonna need a change of clothes right? I'll go and fetch them for you. I'll inform your dad that you're staying here for the time being as well." Matt tells me.

"Okay. Thanks Matt." I thank him and head for the guestroom.

I drop my bag on the table and plop down on the bed. I can feel my body getting weak from the ride home. I don't think I ate anything yet. My stomach gurgles, so I put my hand over it.

"Hungry?" I'm surprised when I hear Lucas's voice.

I snap my head up at him, "What are you doing here?" I ask him. I thought he was going to stay in Matt's room. "I mean are you staying in this room?" I rephrase my question.

"Yeah for the night." He answers sitting down on the bed with me.

I sit up and look at him. "You're leaving tomorrow?" I ask him. I know he has work to go back to but I was secretly hoping that he would stay longer.

"Yeah. I have meetings all piled up since I cancelled most of them when I came here." He explains to me.

"I'm sorry." I say, hanging my head.

"What? Amelia why would you be sorry?" He asks, scooting a little closer to me.

"You're missing work because of me. And I know how important work is to you. You have important meetings to attend and clients to meet. I know you're missing out on a lot of deals by being here?" I say looking at him.

"Hey those can wait. I was stupid for making you leave like that. I was just so mad when I found out you fucking lied to me!" He says quite harshly that I flinch. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said it like that." He apologizes after seeing my reaction.

"I know. Its okay." I tell him, giving him a tight lipped smile.

"Amelia you know I do care about you right?" He says, staring into my eyes. "I know I always act like I don't give a damn about anything but when it comes to you, I feel like its my fault whenever something bad happens. I want to protect you. But I couldn't even be there for you when you needed me most." He says, his tone filled with hurt.

"You saved me. And you're here now right? That's all that matters." I tell him, holding his hands.

He takes his hand out and cup my cheek, gently caressing it with his thumb. He slowly leans in, staring at my lips then at my eyes. I feel the butterflies come alive once again, so I close my eyes. I can almost feel his lips on mine when Matt comes barging in, with a bag in his hands.

"Ems I got your clothes!" He says, but his voice getting lower once he sees Lucas and I. "Oh I didn't see anything!" He covers his eyes. "I mean of course there were many things I saw but- yeah I'm going!" He says and throws the bag at me.

I am so embarrassed right now. Its not everyday your best friend catches you trying to make out with someone. I hear Lucas chuckling beside me.

"You're blushing again." He says looking at me.

I feel myself blushing even more at that, so I cover my face with my hands.

"I think its cute when you blush." He says, removing my hands away from my face.

"Are you wearing Matt's shirt?" I ask, eyeing his shirt. It's a bit too small for Lucas so his biceps can be seen clearly through the shirt.

"Yeah its kinda small." He says looking down a his shirt, looking slightly embarassed.

"I think its cute." I tell him, laughing.

He shakes his head, trying not to smile. "Don't ever call me cute." He says.

I laugh at him, the first genuine laugh I've had since the incident. He looks so adorable when he's embarassed. I may have not realised it but it felt lonely without Lucas around for the past week. What am I going to do when he leaves?

"Can't you stay?" I suddenly say, looking at him.

He sighs. "I can't. I'm sorry Amelia." He apologizes looking at me.

I sigh, knowing that I won't be able to persuade him so I let it go. "Okay I understand." I say, standing up from the bed.

"Amelia please try to understand. Its about work and-" he begins to explain.

"I know. I said I understand." I cut him off and leave the room.

I thought we were just starting to be good again, but we're back to this. Why can't we just be together for once? Maybe we just aren't meant to be with each other. At least he came here for me, I'm not asking for more. I know that deep down I don't deserve him.

******

Hi everyone! Yeah I'm running out of things to say. Haha Why can't they just be together right? I don't know, it just happens to be that way.

I hope you're all well. And happy Sunday to everyone!
