"And all the times you wasn't chosen, well, I'll make it up to you"

β”β”β”β”βœ¦β˜ΰΌ»ΰΌΊβ˜βœ¦β”β”β”β”“

After the incident at Fezcos house Amelia headed home.

When she got there she sat on her bed for a second rethinking everything that had happened.

She couldn't believe that both of them were fine and then just like that everything changed.

Part of her just refused to believe fez actually would end things with her just like that which is why she thought that by the next day everything would be fine between them.

She didn't really go into it too much knowing she would end up overthinking and making a bad scenario in her head like she always did.

She couldn't make a scene out of it, this was Fez.

He didn't deserve her bitch fit when the argument started off about something serious.

Something both of them did have to think about. But she didn't.

She didn't understand why Fez thought he wasn't enough which is what made it worse and showed how privileged she was.

The next two days she found herself hanging out a lot with maddy, Cassie, Lexi and Andrew, even Nate at times.

Monday she woke up and the first thing she did was look at her phone expecting a text from fez as always but sighed as soon as she remembered their argument.

She thought maybe he still needed some time to think which is what she let him do. When she got to school the first person she told was Lexi which made her pause for a second. Suddenly Lexi had become maddy.

Amelia didn't want to make a big deal out of it but the distance between her and maddy was starting to upset her.

She loved how close she was becoming to Lexi but also missed Maddy like crazy.

Once the last hour arrived Lexi and Amelia were talking about some movie when Andrew decided to join in the conversation. Usually this would make them annoyed but he was actually making valid points about the movie. When class ended Amelia walked to practice with Andrew.

He was surprised she was actually talking to him. She usually ignored him really hard or tried to say anything to shut down the conversation but she hadn't noticed how funny he actually was.

While they walked to the football field Andrew probably made her laugh more than any other person had in a while.

When they arrived Nate looked at them with a proud smile like he had accomplished something. Maddy just looked at her weirdly but decided not to ask anything at the moment.

β”β”β”βœ¦β˜ΰΌ»ΰΌΊβ˜βœ¦β”β”β”

The next day it was the last hour again and Lexi and Amelia were talking about their project due on Thursday. Which again Andrew included himself into.

"You guys have civics together?" He asked turning on his seat making the two girls stop talking and turned to him.

"Yeah we were talking about the project she assigned" Lexi replied.

"Could I probably join you guys group?"

"I guess you can..." Amelia sighed. "Tomorrow my house before practice"

"I'll be there" Andrew replied and got up from his seat to turn in his work.

"You want to spend the night today?" Amelia asked Lexi which made her turn with a shocked face. She had never spent the night at someone's house other than Rue.

"Yeah of course...don't you have practice though?"

"Nope got cancelled"

β”β”β”βœ¦β˜ΰΌ»ΰΌΊβ˜βœ¦β”β”β”

After school Lexi and Amelia headed to her house to see Amelia's mom cooking while Aurora laid on her little swing. When Anna looked up she smiled at Lexi.

"Hey girls, the food will be ready in a while so you can hang out in the meantime" she announced to them. Amelia turned to Lexi and gestured her to follow her upstairs to her room.

"You can set your stuff down, sorry for the mess" Amelia excused while picking up a few things. "Do you want to borrow some clothes or I can drive you to your house I'm sorry I should've asked before we got here"

"No it's okay I'll just borrow some clothes" Lexi responded and sat her bag down then sat on Amelia's chair and looked around.

Amelia's room was big and very girly.

When you walked in the first thing you saw was her pink and grey bed that had a couch bordered type of thing surrounding it.

The bed was filled with stuffed animals and blankets. She had two nightstands on each side. On her right was her big vanity and on her left was her closet and bathroom.

While Amelia looked through her closet Lexi just looked around then decided to ask a personal question.

"So you haven't talked to fezco?" She brought up recalling all of what Amelia had told her the past days.

"Nope"

"And you don't plan on talking to him?" Lexi questioned making Amelia think.

She hadn't thought about fezco at all these last two days. She was so busy with school and practice there was just no time.

"I don't know. I feel like it would be pathetic if I tried to talk to him. It would make it seem like I'm the only one putting effort in. I just want him to figure his stuff out then we will sit down and talk"

"I thought you guys like kissed and everything..." Lexi said but stopped herself immediately. "I'm sorry not my place to talk"

"No it's okay you have a point if this was maddy right now she would be judging me way harder" Amelia sighed and sat some clothes on the bed. "We did kiss but somehow it just didn't feel special it just felt like me pushing it and I didn't want it to be that way I want it to feel real or something like that I don't know but after that we just decided to start over"

"Oh so you guys just forgot about that night"

"Basically" Amelia began to clean around since she was feeling frustrated.

It wasn't that Lexi was making her feel like that, it was that she was making valid points.

"I mean you're right he shouldn't of just left me like that out of nowhere I know because even if we tried to forget it we did have that night and I just can't forget it if he can then that just says a lot" Amelia continued to just rant while she cleaned up.

"And do you really like him? Like how do you feel about him" Lexi asked while she sat on the bed.

"I do like him a lot. I don't know what it is about him but every time I'm just around him I feel some type of way. I've been around him all my life back then we used to be friends for a while but it just went away and after us talking at McKays party he complimented me once and it was enough to make me fall"

"And what do you plan to do if he doesn't talk to you?"

Amelia paused and looked up to her. "I never really thought that far. I care too much to just leave it like that right now. I'm fine because I keep telling myself he needs time but eventually I'll find myself going to his house or something. I just can't leave it like that, you know. I want something with him"

After their talk Lexi and Amelia ate with her mom since Alejandro wasn't home.

When they were done they cleaned the kitchen and told Anna about Andrew coming over.

She was fine with it but knew Alejandro wouldn't but it was for school.

When Lexi and Amelia went upstairs they watched TV, listened to music, did face masks and a whole bunch of stuff.

Lexi had never done this before and had a cool friend that was like her at the same time.

She loved it the way Amelia could talk about stuff she liked that Lexi liked as well but be cool at the same time like Cassie and the others.

Some part of her wished that she had talked to Amelia before. If she did, maybe they would be closer.

β”β”β”βœ¦β˜ΰΌ»ΰΌΊβ˜βœ¦β”β”β”

The next day both of them woke up and got ready to head downstairs. The two of them were laughing as they walked down the hall to enter the kitchen.

When Amelia looked up to see Fezco she immediately stopped as well as Lexi.

Amelia cleared her throat and just ignored him and walked straight to the fridge while Lexi followed. Fezco was sitting on one of the stools while he looked up to see Amelia and Lexi.

Lexi was just looking at him knowing what he was thinking. This was about to be awkward until Amelia's mom walked in.

"Oh good morning girls sorry I had to go get something." She walked in handing Fezco a bag. "You two want some breakfast?"

"I was about to make waffles," Amelia replied, taking some stuff out the fridge and setting it on the counter.

"It's okay I'll make it you two can go sit down"

Amelia and Lexi went to sit on the table. Fez's eyes followed Amelia until she was out of his sight and turned back to the kitchen.

He had been thinking a lot. He knew a lot of stuff about him and Amelia couldn't work but he did know he wanted to be with her.

That's all he wanted and he was willing to risk it all. But he had messed up and now he had to make up for it but had no idea how.

Eventually fez left, leaving the two girls there eating. Then Andrew arrived and all of them sat on the table while they worked on their project.

"Okay I think I got it" Andrew exclaimed, giving the computer over to Amelia and Lexi to read, the two of them read over it noticing how well written it was.

"Oh you did not write this..." Amelia shook her head laughing.

"You just watched me write it!" Andrew said, taking the computer. "All I did was take your work and hers and put it all together"

"Still don't believe you" Amelia said getting up, taking some plates to the dishwasher then walking back to the table. "You probably like put it into a essay generator"

"Oh he definitely did!" Lexi scoffed while Andrew just sighed.

"Whatever you two are just hating"

"Oh we're hating?! I'm sorry you just don't look like the type to even care about school" Amelia said turning to him.

"You know not all football players are the same, some of us do care" Andrew smiled at her Amelia almost smiled back but shrugged it off turning to Lexi.

"No but honestly that was really beautifully written Lexi and I can totally take it from here"

"No I don't trust you two you'll probably won't even put my name on it..." Andrew said, closing the computer and putting it in his bag.

"We were definitely planning on that" Lexi laughed, making Amelia laugh as well. Amelia suddenly stopped when she saw Fez and her dad walking in.

Fezcos mood changed as soon as he saw Amelia laughing next to Andrew.

He didn't know the context behind it but the fact he was there at her house and they were able to talk without her parents asking questions really bothered him and it just added to the pile of things he couldn't do with her which made him even more upset.

"Amy, I need the table. I'm sure you can take this somewhere else..." Alejandro was walking inside the room with fez following him.

"Yeah no we are I have practice" Amelia started gathering her stuff fez tried his best not to look at them but Lexi could tell he was looking at her then she turned to Andrew.

It wasn't hard to figure out the fact that Andrew liked Amelia.

It was obvious the only one that was clueless about him right now was Amelia and Alejandro of course but Lexi and fez could feel the way he was looking at her.

"Do you need a ride?" Mr. Gonzalez asked.

"No thanks Andrew is taking me he has practice too" Amelia replied taking her stuff and heading upstairs.

Lexi tried to make the situation less awkward by talking to Andrew until Amelia came back with her cheer bag. Then they left.

They dropped Lexi off first then headed to the school. The car ride wasn't awkward, they just listened to music. I had no idea what was going on with Andrew and Amelia.

They were definitely something I guess.

Andrew was starting to like her more and more but Amelia just saw him as a friend.

She was still blinded by the feelings she had for Fezco.

The thought of Andrew still didn't cross her mind yet he was just someone that was just there maybe because he was Nate's friend and that just made him a huge red flag or Amelia just simply didn't see him that way at all.

After practice all the girls were sitting down on the benches talking about the usuals.

Amelia was currently sitting next to maddy leaning on her shoulder while Cassie sat on the front bench talking about her weekend with McKay.

When Andrew called Amelia over she excused herself and walked towards him making maddy and Cassie confused.

"Hey I'm sorry but I can't give you a ride back my mom wants me home I'm so sorry can you find yourself a ride?"

"Yeah no it's cool" Amelia reassured Andrew.

"Okay I'm sorry like really sorry I'll see you tomorrow" Andrew gave the girl a hug and walked away down the gym Nate was watching them closely.

I didn't know what Nate was trying to accomplish with Andrew and Amelia to be honest. I didn't actually really care all I care about is what happens next.

Amelia headed back to Cassie and maddy while she texted her mom to pick her up. Once she was done she took her back and looked up to see maddy looking at her suspiciously.

"What?" Amelia asked.

"What did he want?" Maddy replied, gesturing over to Andrew.

"Oh he was my ride but he can't do it. I just texted my mom" Amelia responded sitting down on the bench.

"So you and Andrew? Really?" Cassie turned to look at Amelia.

"What? no, like at all" Amelia dismissed immediately.

"It's not surprising actually he's like smart and cares about school he's not like the others who are just man whores" Cassie commented but maddy didn't like the idea.

"But what about you and fez?" Maddy questioned making Cassie snap towards her, shocked that fez and Amelia were even talking.

"I don't know..." Amelia sighed, setting her chin on her hand.

"Wait you and fez since when?" Cassie asked.

"Since never don't say anything because it's not happening. Fez works for my dad now and it can't happen okay it's just not happening" Amelia took her stuff and stormed away from them.

This is when it really hit Amelia that fez and her were never going to happen.

She'd been waiting all day to be bothered by it and she finally did. And she hated it. She was pacing around the hallway waiting for her mom when Nate stopped her.

"Amy, you okay?" He asked, making her stop and turn to him.

"Fine"

"Need a ride?"

"No my mom is on her way thank you" she replied and Nate just nodded walking out the door noticing Amelia was not in a good mood. She started to pave around again then stopped when she felt her phone buzz.

Fez
Wednesday 6:48 pm

I'm outside

Why?

Amy just come outside

Amelia sighed and walked outside to see her car there with fez inside she decided to not ask questions and got on the passenger side.

She didn't say anything. All she did was set her bag in the back seat and put her seatbelt on. Fez looked over to see her since he hadn't been this up close to her in a while.

"My dad has you picking me up now? And in my car?" She said in a mad tone and Fezco could tell.

"Aye take it up with him not me I just do what I'm told" fez replied and Amelia sighed.

She decided not to make conversation at all because she felt weird around him after arguing with him.

She just connected her phone to the car and just played some music.

Fez wanted to talk to her but didn't know how to. He knew he had screwed up and he wanted to take it all back.

At the moment he was being clouded by all the things Rue had said without even thinking how deep the feelings for Amelia he had.

"I heard this song on the radio the other day, something about girl or darling, something like that" fez tried to make conversation but Amelia just hummed in response and turned away from fez.

This is when he knew he needed to try harder than that. He pulled over on the side of the road and turned the music down.

"Fez what the fuck?!" Amelia looked over to him with an annoyed face.

"Amy, just listen alright. I'm sorry like I'm so fucking serious right now I apologize for doing that to you the other night but Rue just got into my head and I had to think. You're one of the best people I know Amy and I don't want to mess you up with my shit okay because you don't deserve that you're out here doing good stuff for your life and then there's me but if I'm being honest I don't give a shit I just know I want you Amy so if you down I'm down too" fez said while Amelia just listened she was speechless never expecting a speech like that from fez.

Amelia turned to her side facing Fezco and laid on the seat thinking of what to say. He was too nervous to even look at her.

She didn't know what to say. All she knew is that she was going to take him back in a heartbeat because that's just who she was and she loved Fezco way too much.

After what they had built there was no way she could ignore him at all. She reached out her hand for him to take which he did.

"Took you long enough. I forgive you. I know Rue got in your head but don't let it happen again Fez. Don't do that to yourself because everything she said is not true at all" Amelia said, making him turn to see her again. When he did he felt a feeling he hadn't felt before. He loved her, he really did. He just was too scared to tell her. "So I am down"

Fez smiled and took her hand up and kissed the back of it making Amelia smile. "Look I should probably do this in a more special way but I didn't have anything planned so ima just improvise right now..."

"Yes" Amelia interrupted him and he looked up again. "I know what you are going to ask so yes I do want to be your girlfriend"

"Wait for real?"

"Yes fez" Amelia chuckled.

"Well shit I don't even have anything to give you..."

"It's okay you don't have to really" Amelia leaned forward and placed her hands on the side of his face. Fez looked down to her lips and set his hand on her check and leaned in to kiss her. The kiss was short and passionate when their lips disconnected she smiled and leaned back on her seat.

Fez started the car again and got back on the road, his hand rested on Amelia's.

"Dark red"

"Huh?" Fez turned to see her then turned back to the road.

"The song you were talking about. It's called dark red" Amelia scrolled through her playlist and selected it. She turned the volume up and fez waited for it to start.

"Oh yeah that's the song"

The rest of the car ride was probably one of the most cutest things ever.

Fez didn't know the words of the song which made Amelia laugh because she basically knew the whole thing by heart.

She sung it while fez just looked over to her for a little admiring how pretty she looked. What he couldn't believe is that Amelia and him were actually together now.
