Amelia smiled softly when Huter came back with a blanket for her. It made her head momentarily spin. This was the caring Hunter she remembered, the one she cared so deeply for before the incident happened. She was glad he hadn't said anything about it yet. It was just easier to let go then to try and hold onto those feelings she still shared for him. At first she simply rolled her eyes. It was the alcohol, the alcohol caused all of this. Amelia hadn't dated many guys, she was very selective. In fact, Hunter had been her first actually relationship in over a year. Amelia hugged the blanket tighter around her just as he said the two words he had yet to say to her face since that night. He was sorry? Sorry that he got caught or that it happened or that it completely broke her heart?
Amelia looked down to where he sat then averted her eyes. It was now or never to say what was on her mind. "You have no clue how much I cared for you, Hunter. I may not have openly expressed it every moment of every day like some girls, but I fell hard for you. That night I was waiting for you to get off work. I had rented all the old scary movies in black and white that we use to laugh at, and picked up sushi. I waited for you. I waited by my phone for you to return my 1,000 calls. I never heard from you. Not even the next day did you call me back. You will never understand how that felt. And I apologize Hunter, but until you know just how deeply that hurt I can't forgive you," Amelia ended her spill just as Lila opened the door.
Amelia walked behind her and stopped to stand in the kitchen as the ball hop have Lila her milkshake. Amelia put her hands on Lila's thighs as she sat down. She laid her head on Lila's shoulder lovingly. "Lila, you don't mean that. Love Dove, you deserve the world. Don't let him get you down like this. You have to look at the positive- this can either break you or make you stronger. And i know you, you are strong Lila, you won't let this break you. I know right now feels like your entire life is crashing down, but please understand that this is not the end of the world. Over time things will get better. Not because it doesn't hurt, because it does hurt, but because you get stronger and facing the pain gets easier. I love you, you know I'm always here for you. You are gorgeous and smart. You do not want to let him ruin your life." Amelia softly smiled and with her thumb wiped away Lila's tears running down her cheeks. She stood on her tiptoes and kissed Lila's cheek gently, brushing her hair from her face. "Now let's go get cleaned up. We came here for beach therapy and that's what we are going to do."
