This girl had always been my close friend, practically my own little sister since we met. Surely feelings like these could never surface, feelings for Amelia beyond a sisterly love couldn't be normal but-. Alice stood in the door way, after a long day at the Academy and studying with Amelia, a tear trickled down her cheek. She knew what she felt but, what if these feelings brought them apart? What if Amelia never talked to her again? Or hated her? Dropping to her knees the tears poured out of her and she let them.
I can't love you like this Amelia, am I even allowed to love a girl? Is it not sane? Bloody hell why can't I get a grip?! This isn't love, loss of sleep maybe? Am I dehydrated? I don't know, I'll just ignore these feelings. They'll go away.
Pulling herself to her feet she limply pulled herself under her covers. She tried to focus on her home work, snuggling deep into her thick sheets with pencil in hand but she found it to be a chore just to hold herself from the subject. She really loved Amelia didn't she? The pent of frustration nagged at her and she shoved her homework off the bed. She couldn't study with things clouding her mind....
"Amelia! Don't climb up so high! You're going to fall and hurt yourself!"
"Oh calm down you brit, I'll be fine, I'm brave enough! Bold enough! Awe-" Alice interjected. "STUPID ENOUGH!" Laughing at her own joke Alice ranted on.
Aliiiiiiiiice!! I will get this apple! No matter how much you try to discourage me to! Almost...there...
Her fingers made contact with the shiny red apple, plucking it from the branch she parted her lips to boast to Alice when she lost her balance and came tumbling to the ground. When she opened her eyes Alice was looking down at her, tears speckling her cheeks.
"Told you I'd get it didn't I?" she chuckled, sitting up to rub her sore elbow, as if she felt nothing.
"YOU IDIOT! You got hurt because you were so reckless! Why can't you listen to me!?" Alice dropped the apple and pounded at Amelia's chest with balled fists and a fit of hiccups. Amelia chuckled, pushing back the girls tears with a reassuring grin. "I'm not dead am I? Look I'm totally fine, intact, I have all my limbs don't I?" She tried to ease the crying girl.
A string of sniffles followed another fit of hiccups. "W-what if you had h-hit you head? What about tha-that?!"
"WOW Alice! I didn't know you cared so much!" Amelia figured that if Alice was crying over something so small, she might as well have fun with it. Thus, Alice's face grew a tomato red and she crossed her arms, pushing tears away and suppressing sniffles. "Well don't get so ho-hot headed. I do care for you but only to see if you were alright. I'd get in trouble!"
Oh she could play this game. "Trouble from whom? Francis? He wouldn't even bat an eye." She challenged. "Besides I know you care." pulling herself to her feet Amelia held out a hand to help Alice, but the stubborn, quoteth from Alice, '' brought herself up, arms still crossed. She let a sigh escape her lips as she looked to the shiny red apple still in the blades of grass and she bent over to retrieve her prize and held it out for Alice.
"What's this?" she scoffed, Alice was too easy to read. She was so bashful for all the wrong reasons. showing she cared always made her turn right around and deny she said anything. But Amelia could see through her like stain glass. Pulling her hand into hers she stopped the stubborn girl and placed the apple in her palm.
"I got it for you silly. Don't tell me I did that for nothing." She smirked, her sea blue eyes glistened. Alice's eyes only teared up, tears pouring out like a gentil water fall as she threw her arms around Amelia's neck. Almost as if an impulse Amelias arms wrapped tight around her.
"I love you I just don't want to see you hurt!" She sobbed into her shoulder
