Chapter 10 Amelia's Perspective It's just stupid. All of it was. Why couldn't I hang out with Sara? Just because of a bully dictating what I could do? That was the last straw. "Amelia! That's not how it is at all!" Liam called out as a last attempt to bring me back into his life. But it was impossible to forgive him after what he had said. I crashed the front door into the door frame. Xavier barely glanced up from where he was sitting on the couch, scrolling through his phone. "Boy problems? Again?" Xavier sighed, still staring at his phone screen. "None of your business," I tossed back to him with crossed arms. "You know Dad doesn't like you hanging out with boys. It never ends well." "Would you shut up!? I'm feeling really sensitive right now," I growled. "It's true! You end up falling in love with every cute boy in sight and you end up getting hurt!" Xavier looks up from his device for once to make an argument. My face falls to the floor. "I thought he would be different than the others. But then..." I paused to sob for a brief moment, then I continued. "...he showed his true colors." Xavier stares at me for a second, a glimpse of empathy shining in his eyes. Then he went back to his phone. "Your life, your problem, I guess," Xavier mumbled. I gazed at Xavier as silent tears rolled down my cheeks. Then I sighed and stomped up to my bedroom, depressed and alone. — We didn't talk for the rest of the week. I ignored Liam's advice and hung out with Sara in the boiler room at lunch hour every day since I didn't have any other friends. As we passed in the hallway, I would glare at him. He would stare at me with his desperate eyes in return. Then one day, the bully from the first day approached me. He didn't look very friendly. Author's note: Ignore this weird cliffhanger XD Thanks for reading, and love y'all! <3 Also...we made it to chapter 10! *cue confetti*
