"You've got a habit of breaking things
Bursting bubbles and hearts on strings"

Alejandro had always been the most sensitive in his family.

Maybe because he was probably the most wronged from his other four siblings. He was the second boy and the rest were girls which were always his dad's pride and joy including his older brother.

All his life he spent it trying to prove himself to his dad. All he was ever told was 'maybe if you were a little more like your brother'.

He always focused on school and all the jobs his dad gave him but somehow he just wasn't good enough for him; it was always his brother.

He kept tiring himself trying to be better that he wasted most of his highschool years trying to prove himself to his dad and he still was when he started college but everything changed when he met Amelia's mom.

He thought that Anna was going to be one of his regular hook ups that happened in the parties he went to since he didn't have the time to focus on a relationship but she changed that all.

They spent some time at the party and kicked it off from there. Both of their parents didn't know at all they would just sneak around.

The only one that knew was maddys mom since she was the one that was close to alejandro.

Nobody knew until her parents found out but it was too late because she was already pregnant.

Alejandro's dad wasn't the happiest about it but he knew he couldn't leave him behind like Anna's parents left her behind.

He let them live in his house until he had everything figured out and he could support his family on his own.

That's when Alejandro's life changed instead of favoring his dad he focused on Anna and their kid.

He promised that no matter if it was a boy or a girl he would never make them feel left out like he was.

Which is what he did. His dad gave him an out because he wanted to focus on his own life. He graduated business school and still got a job from his dad but one that didn't require being involved too much and got a house for him and Anna who was pregnant.

They never really got married; she just wore a ring he gave her but both agreed they didn't need a wedding to prove they were together.

During those years maddys mom had basically left the family to go run around with who now was Maddy's dad.

When she came back her dad was really mad to the point he didn't want her around so Alejandro let her stay with them until she had stuff figured out.

Which is what he was doing now with Alex and he was willing to do it with anyone.

That's the rule they lived by: nobody got left behind.

Maybe that's why Amelia turned out that way.

She was worried about Alex and her family but still worried more for Fezco and ashtray. If she was brought up with the strict rules her grandpa and uncle had, Amelia would probably be leaving Fez and Ash behind.

But she wasn't because that's just who she was.

A fucking angel that none of us deserved.

Amelia had been pacing in her room waiting for her dad to get out of the shower.

She didn't know what his reaction would be but she was afraid it would be to not help Fezco out. She understood that what they did wasn't good but it was ashtray the one that did it.

Not that it made it any better but still he's a kid and he saw it as the best way to protect his brother.

All Amelia could think about was why Ashtray would do something like that. She came up with a few reasons.

Which the most simple one was if someone she loved that much was in danger and it took to do something like that she would too but that's where it got to the part why she didn't understand.

She never had to do that in her life. Simply because it was others doing it for her so she could be safe.

She just hoped her dad could see it the way she did.

Ashtray saw no other way and wanted to protect people he loved, something he would do as well in a heartbeat if it meant the people he loved were in danger.

You okay?

Yeah just waiting for my mom to tell me if my dad is out the shower

I'm so sorry

Amelia didn't even know what to text back but she didn't have to because her mom had entered her room which made her look up to her.

"He's out?" Amelia stood up from her bed immediately.

"Yeah but it's okay I told him..." she shut the door and began to walk towards her.

"Wait why..."

"Because I don't want you to be involved Amy you should not be worried about something like this I didn't want this for you at all" he took the girl and sat her down on the bed with her. "But it's impossible and all I can do is try and keep you from it"

"That's impossible..." Amelia muttered looking down to her hands that were filled with marks from her messing with her hands.

"I know I know you were just like your mom and chose to date the guy but I know you love him just like I love your dad so I understand" she said grabbing her hands to keep her from messing with them. "The only difference would be is you have me here and your dad and I didn't have my parents only your dad"

"What is he going to do? He's not going to turn them in, right?" Amelia asked her nervously about the answer.

"Amy, your dad loves Fezco he would never do that. He's going to find a way where all of us are going to be okay, try not to worry about it" she brought her into hee hold.

"It's hard..." Amelia whimpered feeling her tears form. "I don't want him to get hurt or end up in some mess..."

"He's not. We're going to be okay. Everything will be fine" she played with Amelia's hair while she still held onto her.

She didn't know if everything would be okay but all she could do was reassure her something she wished she had when she was pregnant with Amelia.

But she didn't know if they were going to be okay. That was the problem.

She thought they were always fine but this time she wasn't sure.

She wished they were going to be okay because she knew if something happened to Fezco or Ashtray it would destroy Amelia.

━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━

After Amelia tossing and turning all night she finally went to sleep only to wake back up with the sun shone through her windows.

She just simply couldn't sleep. All she could think about was scenarios of what would happen to them.

Things that if she kept to herself they would eat her alive.

Once she heard people downstairs she headed downstairs to see Fezco was already there with Alex and her dad.

He turned to see the girl who simply just walked past seeing that maddy was there too.

Maddy smiled at Amelia then looked down to see she was messing with her hands again like she used to.

Fezco knew Amelia wasn't a morning person which is probably why she ignored him but that wasn't the reason.

The reason was that Amelia was just too stuck in her own mind to even acknowledge him.

He was still worried about her knowing this whole thing was probably hard on her

He had probably apologized to her parents a hundred times for dragging Amelia in. Both forgave him but he couldn't forgive himself.

Amelia began to move stuff around to find something to eat when her mom walked in. Amelia noticed her dad was pointing to maddy to her mom which she quickly understood what he was trying to do.

"She knows," Amelia blurted out, making everyone look up to her. "Maddy knows"

"Knows what?" Maddy asked, looking up from her plate.

"That ashtray killed Mouse," Amelia replied, making her parents look at them with disappointed looks.

"Can we not talk about it like it's nothing?" Alejandro put his coffee cup down and cleared his throat. "I already talked to them and we have come to an understanding that we will simply not talk about it no one can know don't even act like you care about it just continue living your lives while I fix this"

"Good because we have a birthday to plan..." maddy remarked which caused them to turn to her.

"You are sick..." Alex shook his head looking away from her.

"What?! He asked us not to worry, then we shouldn't, so we party plan" maddy shrugged then turned to Amelia.

"About that you're right but the party..."

"No, we're not canceling," Maddy interrupted her uncle immediately.

"I'm not telling you to cancel, I'm telling you to just move the party to here I promise we won't be here but like I said we can't go over there it'll make us look bad" he told the girl who rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Fine I guess we could do that" maddy then tapped the space in between her and Fezco for Amelia to sit down in.

Amelia instead of sitting down between them she sat on the end of the table still next to maddy. Fezco turned to see the girl who just sent him a soft smile and looked down to her food.

"Okay I'll go and see what's going on out there everyone just stay here '' Mr Gonzales got out of his seat and went to give his wife a kiss while everyone just continued to do what they were doing.

Now you might think this shit is awkward but it's not supposed to be at least not to my knowledge.

Alex and Fezco were fine, they apologized to each other and made sure they were cool.

Now if Maddy had a problem with anyone in the room she would make sure to make it known.

The problem here was Amelia, she was upset but no one knew why and I'm not sure she knew herself why she was upset.

"Yeah I am not staying in here all day hearing you two bitch about a party" Alex got up his chair about to head out.

"Not like we want you here" maddy remarked in a sarcastic tone then looked to Amelia expecting her to say something too but she didn't she kept messing with one of her hands and eating with the other.

Alex found it weird as well and looked at maddy with a confused look to which the girl just replied with a shrug.

"Fez do you want to stay with them and listen to Amelia be a brat about her birthday or come with me" Alex said this on purpose trying to get a reaction out of Amelia.

Mrs Gonzales sent him a glare but then looked back to Amelia.

"Alex just go, maybe find the balls to finally say something to Lexi since you don't even bother to text back" Amelia sassed back making maddy burst out laughing.

"Okay...no but seriously she's right you're being a fucking dick to her" maddy added and Alex just rolled his eyes.

"Kids language please!" Anna exclaimed while she tried to prepare some food for aurora.

"My bad..." Maddy chuckled as she watched Alex walk out and then returned to eating.

"Amy, can you give her this while I go change the clothes" Amelia's mom headed towards her handing her the baby and setting the little plate with mashed bananas on the table and a little bottle with water.

Amelia immediately took her and nodded.

"Ima go to the bathroom then I'll come back okay" maddy got up the table as well walking away.

They are some sneaky little bitches aren't they...anyways I'm here for it too so let's go!

Amelia just focused on positioning Aurora on her lap then took her little spoon to take some of the mashed banana into the baby's mouth.

Amelia tried her best but she kept spitting it out and making faces which caused Amelia to chuckle.

Fezco watched as the girl fed aurora. A smile wanted to slip out his lips watching how Amelia mocked Aurora's face.

Eventually he gave in and let out a chuckle making Amelia look up to him and gave him a slight smile.

"She's now trying stuff and everytime this is the faces she makes..."

"Amy I gotta go, my mom wants me home right now but I'll come back tomorrow so we can plan stuff okay" maddy interrupted while she bursted through the kitchen.

"Oh okay...wait who is taking you?" Amelia looked over to Maddy while she still tried to clean Aurora's face.

"Your mom, she said watch aurora while she's gone bye!" Maddy gave Amelia a kiss on the cheek then waved to Fezco.

Amelia waited until she heard the door close then turned to aurora.

She knew her mom had given her the baby so could focus on something else than just thinking about the problems that were going on around her.

"Okay yeah you're done no more" Amelia held up a cloth to Aurora's mouth cleaning it seeing how she had thrown the food out she put the spoon back and gave Aurora the bottle with water.

"Is she not hungry?" Fezco asked, trying to make conversation with her.

"I don't know but my mom usually has more patience than me so we'll leave it to her to do it" Amelia got up still holding aurora in her arms putting the little plate on top of hers to take it to the sink but fez got up first to help her.

"I got it you take care of her" he told her and Amelia just nodded.

"I'm going to go sit down in the living room okay" she said to him and he nodded walking over to the sink.

Amelia sat down on the couch putting her legs up on the leg rest giving Aurora some toys to play while she sat on Amelia's lap playing.

Fezco then went to sit right next to Amelia causing her to turn towards him.

"You're staying?" She asked in a serious tone which made Fezco confused on why she was continuing to act weird.

"Do you want me to leave or something...?" He looked at her but she just nodded and looked back to Aurora who was playing with her toy. "Do you?"

"No it's fine" she replied once again in a blunt manner.

"Okay what's up with you?" Fezco finally got tired of her being weird with him.

"What do you mean?"

"You're acting weird like if you was mad at me are you mad at me?" He questioned her trying to watch her expressions change but they didn't.

"No I'm not mad at you" she muttered still not facing him she kept her eyes on aurora.

"They what's wrong ma tell me what you got going on so I can help you" he moved her hair away from her face and tucked it being her ear so he could see her better.

"I'm fine Fez really I'm okay..." she reassured but she knew she didn't even believe herself.

The truth was that Amelia didn't want to feed Fezco with more problems than he already had. He didn't need to be worrying about Amelia and her feelings while he had more stuff going on that mattered more so she found it easy just to get out the way while everything got fixed.

"You are mad at me..." he sighed. "I'm so sorry okay I know this shit fucked uo but Amy I mean it I'm sorry for bringing this shit into your life..."

"Fez it's fine stop" she interrupted him.

"But I'm right am I not?" He asked but before she could even respond he kept going. "You're thinking about how shit would be if this didn't happen if we didn't happen"

"No I'm not!" She exclaimed and finally looked over to him. "I'm not mad at you I'm just scared okay! Scared of what's going to happen to you, to ash, to Alex, to my dad, to everyone! I feel useless because there's nothing I can do! There's nothing nobody can do! So I'm scared"

"That's all you had to tell me baby so I could help you out..." Fezco tried to get closer to her but she pulled away.

"No I'm fine I don't want to be annoying but I'm fine Fez you can't worry about me being scared when you have more urgent problems to be attended to that are more important than just me being scared" she interrupted him once again.

"That's the shit you don't understand, you got a right to be scared but I want to help you out. I love you and you're important to me. I can deal with all this shit and still make time for you" he set his hand on her lap leaning in closer to her.

"I just..." she sighed knowing she was going to regret what she was about to say. "I don't know how to be with you all happy and stuff without noticing how stressed and scared my dad is over this when the only reason this concerns them right now is because of..."

"So you are blaming me?" He asked in a hurt tone, making her pause.

"I don't want to because it's not your fault but I..." she paused again knowing she was just making everything worse. "I shouldn't have said that I'm sorry I didn't mean to make it sound that way..."

"But you were thinking it" he commented and leaned back on the couch removing his hand from his lap.

Aurora was paying attention to his hand and when he removed it she began to crawl towards him.

"Should've just kept it to myself now I made everything worse" she scoffed, shaking her head while keeping her hand on Aurora making sure she didn't fall.

"Stop blaming yourself Amelia" he said to her holding aurora in his arms now.

Amelia just remained silent since every time she spoke she made stuff worse. She turned as watched how Fezco was paying attention to Aurora handing her the toys on the couch she had dropped.

The baby decided to lay down with a toy in her hands that eventually dropped making her burst out crying.

Amelia immediately took her and got up the couch trying to calm her down.

"It's okay you're fine" she told the baby trying to see if she was okay.

"Is she okay?" Fezco got up and went to check the baby's face.

"She's fine," Amelia reassured, rocking the baby back and forth. "I'm going to go make her a bottle"

"Do you need any help?" She asked but she nodded.

"I'm fine fez"

"Yeah I know..." he sighed and shook his head. "Ima be outside until your mom get here if you need anything tell me"

"Okay thank you" she said dryly walking away to the kitchen while Fezco just walked out the house.

Once she heard the door shut she turned to Aurora who was calming down from crying.

"I just always have to ruin everything don't I? I know he's just going to forgive me but I said messed up stuff...he needs to be mad at me for a while I deserve it"

Look in my eyes Amelia can do no wrong. I love that woman but she might've crossed the line on what she said to Fezco.

I get it they're in a stressful situation which she could be a good sport about but she wasn't but then again she couldn't just not be upset about it and express her feelings.

So they were in a tight situation and I'm scared they won't be good until it ends at least I don't hope so.

I hope he calls her later and everything gets better but who knows...

We'll have to see.

Oh and for the people that give a shit about Alex and Lexi right now he apologized with flowers and everything so there's that at least someone is happy.
