Where there is a Flame, Someone's Bound to Get Burned(Heart and Mae)

James wasn't surprised at Lily’s words. (Except for the fact that they’re coming from a six year old.) He’d treated Amelia horribly, and in her mind, When he choose not to answer her many calls, emails, texts, and even visits, he choose not to be in his child’s life. If only he’d of known the truth. Would I have really made a difference though? He was so far gone not even Amelia, his best friend and the only girl to ever really love her, couldn't snap him out of it. Even a year later when Kaylee was born, the two were still crazy as hell and didn't give a hoot. So maybe it wouldn't have been good. Or maybe it would have. The truth they’ll never know, but I guess it’s better late than never. Amelia won’t be having any of it though, that’s alright, James is ready to fight now, and he won’t back down this time.

Shaking his head, he opened his mouth to answer the small girl when a door swung open and there Amelia stood, not at first noticing him, but then, rage clearly burning inside her as she rushed the child inside and came over to him. James knew this wasn't such a smart idea, and it made him seem shady, but, he needed to know, and he was a person that did things without thinking them out fully first.

Throwing his hands up, he tried to calm her. “Amelia, I just wanted to talk to her. I know you've been waiting for this, and maybe even hoping for it, I’m sorry I didn’t figure it out sooner, things have been crazy. I have no doubt in my mind, and I’m 100% positive that child is mine. “He stated quickly, as she seemed to just look angrier by the minute. “Come on Amelia, Can’t we just talk about this?” He pleaded, stepping back a little.

His nightmare had come true, he was turning out to be just like his father was, Greedy and careless, with no regard for anyone but himself. He know had two children from two different women, one doesn't know about him, and the other is a little jacked because of her first few years of life. This wasn't how it was supposed to be, he was going to do things right. His mom would be so disappointed. He knew that she had raised him WAY better than this. He could never get back the strength to become who he use to be, he hadn't had the energy or the time, or the motivation. Things were going to be different. He was going to make sure of it.

James listened, and smirked. “Ya know Amelia.. It’s not healthy to hold grudges. It hurts the soul.” He mocked, scratching his knee. “Ah, I see.” He nodded smiling sarcastically, as she went on. He found it weird that Amelia was constantly throwing details about her at him. What was she trying to do? Rub it in his face? There wasn’t really a reason for that, considering he already had his own child. His thoughts were interrupted when he noticed a small girl come out of the dressing room. She didn’t look that much older than Kaylee. Giving her a soft smile, he watched Amelia directed her. There was something about her that made him wonder. He wasn’t able to pin point exactly what it was, but it was there.
Kaylee proudly strutted out into the dressing area, she loved to be the center of attention. “What do you think daddy?!” She shouted out, her tone Hyper as she spun around. James’ laughed and scooping the little girl up in his arms. “You look absolutely beautiful, just like a princess!” He cheered, spinning her around playfully as she giggled. “Now, go get changed and we’ll pay and get going!” Kaylee darted off to the stall and quickly changed back into her jeans and T-shirt. Handing the dress to her dad, they walked over to the register and paid for it. Grabbing the bag he handed it over to Kaylee, and then laughed a bit as she lugged the large bag threw the store and then out to their car.

Smirking, he leaned up against the car. “Want some help?” Kaylee glared. “I can do it!” She groaned, pushing the bed onto the other side of the backseat. “See!” She playfully stuck out her tongue and climbed into the seat, buckling herself. After making sure she was secure, James got into the driver’s side and started up the car, pulling out of the parking lot and then down the street and onto the main road.

Kaylee grumbled, “Daddy, can’t I go over to Katie’s? Her mom likes me! She said I can come over anytime I want! Pleeeeease! I promise I’ll behave.” She said aloud, looking at her dad through the mirror. James’ sighed, “I suppose, but you’ll have to call her first.” He stated, handing her his smart phone. She smiled, and dialed the number, Waiting for an answer as she held it up to her ear. A woman answered. “Hi Mrs. Smith! It’s me, Kaylee, from down the street?” She spoke slowly. “I was just wondering if could come over and play with Katie. Would that be okay?” She asked, hopeful. The woman answered. “Yes, of course!” Kaylee grinned and thanked her, then hung up the phone and handed it back to her father. “She said I could come!”

James nodded, “Alrighty!” He pulled around the corner into a very high end neighborhood, with fancy houses that had water fountains, and large backyards, and anything you’d possibly imagine. Driving slowly down the streets of the neighborhood he pulled into Katie’s driveway and put the car in park. “Come along, I’ll take you up.” Kaylee nodded and grabbed her games from her backpack, and then jumped out of the car, grabbing onto her dad’s hand, they walked up and knocked on the front door.

James smiled at the middle aged woman. “Hey Jess, Thanks for letting her come over. She loves it here.” Just then an excited little girl, the same age as Kaylee darted through to the front entrance. “Kaylee!” She exclaimed, grabbing the girl’s hand, and then they were off. James laughed, and then thanked her again. Walking away from the house he got back into his car and then pulling up to his own house.
Quickly running inside and grabbing a piece of paper from his office, he ran back out to his car. Typing the address on the note into his car’s GPS system, he followed the directions until he finally arrived. Parking the car on the other side of the street, he peeked into the yard and noticed the same girl from the store. Only difference now was, now he was pretty sure who she was. He’d put it all together. Everything about the little girl screamed, “Hey stupid, I’m your daughter.” He was just to blind to see it before. She had his Hair color, Same carefree attitude that he use to have. Her name. Her age matched up to the last time he was intimate with Amelia. All he needed now was conformation.

Not seeing Amelia around, he took a chance and ran over to the small house encased in a fence. “Hey, remember me? From the store? Your mommy’s friend? I’m not here to hurt you, I promise. Just was curious. She told me it you’ve guys have made a life for yourselves. Is your mommy married? Do you know your daddy?” He quickly asked, hoping to dear god Amelia wouldn’t come out and see him.

James hadn’t been good to Amelia at all once he got a taste of what his life could be like at university. He thought he wouldn’t care, he had it all, already. A free scholarship, friends (if you can call them that.), a wonderful, amazing condo he just purchased that was right next to campus, and all the Girls he could handle. They were constantly thrusting themselves at him, so, what’s a man to do? He’d changed in that year with Amelia, Change can be great for some people, others though, it’s destructive, and only one thing comes of it. Pain.
The night he first slept with Jenna is always in his mind, it’s the start of it all, his crazy wild binge that costed him the best girl he’d ever had, and without truly knowing it, everything he ever wanted. Just like that, the memories came rushing back. The racing of his heart as he and Jenna groped each other intensely. Amelia’s soft footsteps trailing down the hallway. Then the look. The look of pure horror, anger, disbelief and betrayal that had been plastered across Amelia’s face. As if he could physically see her heart breaking right in front of him. Peeling himself away from Jenna and put pants on and darting out of the room to chase after her. Only she was gone. Gone for good. Suddenly, he realized in that moment, he was free. To do whatever, whenever, with whoever. So he did, over and over and over.
Kaylee stared out the backseat window of the SVU, watching as they passed through the school parking lot and then finally onto the main road, then onto the busy freeway. Taking her Pink Nintendo DS out of her backpack, she turned it on and started to play.

A loud gasp came from James as he remembered the banquet dinner he was inviting to attend with Kaylee, and pulling into the nearest stores parking lot, he parked the car near the front. Kaylee raised an eyebrow at her dad. “Why are we here?” She asked, curious. “We need to get you an outfit for a dinner that we need to attend this weekend. “ He stated flatly, leading the small girl out of the car and into the store.

Over the years, James had gotten pretty good at shopping for Girl’s items, and doing hair, and all the fun things that come along with having a daughter. Flipping through the racks near the front of the store, he observed each one until Kaylee’s voice demanded him. “Daddy! I like this one a lot!” She said excitedly, holding up a Pink sparkly dress. “Oh, that’s pretty Kayles!” He exclaimed, and then looked at the price tag. “147.00$” It was quite expensive for a children’s dress, but it was for Kaylee, so he without hesitation, let her have it. Kaylee hugged it against her body. “Thanks, daddy!” She grinned. “But first, you’ve got to try it on, You’re teeny, tiny. Gotta make sure that’s the right size!” He smiled as he lead the little girl to the back of the store were the dressing room was.

Oh god. Oh my god. This isn’t happening. Not again. What are the freaking Odds? As they approached the area of dressing rooms, he stopped for a minute and was shocked. Of all the stores in this town now, of course they’d be in the same one! Kaylee yanked his hand. “Daddy, come on!” James looked straight ahead, and tried not to let Kaylee see. Leading her in, he sat down and his eyes began to wonder to Amelia. She had a child? After giving him crap for “starting a family” She did too! If he would have looked close enough, he could in fact realize who’s kid she was, but, that’s not what he was focusing on. Making an amused huff, he leaned forward. “Looks like somebody else started a family too! So I guess we’re even.” He shot out, staring at the pair standing next to the full length mirror.

Pulling open the see through glass doors that had huge company logo’s on the exterior of them, reading "Arcane's- We do service best" the bright sun flashed in his blue eyes, causing him to squint. Walking down the sidewalk, he made his way toward his still new Chevrolet traverse. Reaching into his jean’s front left pocket he pulled out the keys and unlocked the Car, opening the door he got in and turned it on, blaring the AC. There had been a leek in one of the vents overnight and so they had to wait a day for the repairman, as he was already out of town.

Putting the car into park, he pulled out of the large parking lot. The company was due for some big changes and the staff wanted James’ input on all of their plans for advancement. He was honored they found him important enough, but, that meant he often had to stay longer and sometimes, with no warning at all. Since he had his daughter, he needed to be certain places at certain times without excuse. Like today, He was supposed to be at Kaylee’s school at 3 pm to pick her up, but as he drove toward the school, he glanced at the clock and it read, 3:45. Late again. Normally, If he was going to be late, he could usually get someone to go get her, but, lately he’s run them all down, and nobody wants to help anymore, says he needs to be more responsible. True.

Pulling into the elementary school’s parking lot, he was annoyed with all the cars coming and going and then the others who were just sitting there. Finally snagging a space, he pulled in it and put the car in park. Taking the keys from the ignition, he quickly got out of the car and ran into the school, passing the large crowd of children laughing and playing in the front playground.

Plowing through the halls quickly, he came to Kaylee’s classroom with a sign on the window that read “Ms. Carter’s Room” It was very colorful and looked as if it was hand-made. Nothing he wouldn’t expect from a kindergarten teacher though.

Walking over and opening the door he walked in, looking rushed. “I am so, so sorry. There was a thing at work and I couldn’t get out of it, then I thought I left my keys in my office, and-“ He didn’t recognize her at first, but he could tell this person was not at all happy with him. Then finally, he got it. It clicked, and he felt as if he could crawl out of his skin.

The woman he knew to be his Ex didn't seem the same, who could blame her? James had taken her for some kind of toy, that he could just play with when he was bored. He had no regard for her feelings, and while she didn't stand her ground then, she sure as hell was now.
Without giving him as much as a second to speak, she was gone. He was dumbfounded and in a fuzzy state of confusion. Was this really happening? Was he really being forced to live the biggest regret of his whole life again? Snapping him out of his thoughts, he heard his daughter’s voice. “Dad, Aren’t we going to go home now?” She asked, strapping her backpack over both her shoulders. “Come on!” She demanded, pulling his hand and leading him out of the classroom.

In a dazed state, he followed out to his car, holding onto Kaylee’s hand before the two of them finally made it to their car. Getting into the driver’s seat, he started up the car, and waited for Kaylee to get situated. With a nod from her, he put the car in drive and drove off.
