"You stood me up, you lay me down
You know too much, I can't be proud
I still really, really love you, yes, I do"

After the incident at the cemetery Amelia started to talk to Fezco again but not as much. She would just talk to him when she saw him.

They hadn't texted at all since the day they broke up but their talking was progress. Fezco still made sure she was doing okay especially after what happened at the cemetery.

Fez was madly in love with Amelia. Anybody could notice that. The way he looked at her when she was around.

The way he paid attention when she was talking. Everything she did fez watched in awe speechless about her and it was driving him crazy how Amelia could hide the fact she was in love with him so well.

Yeah Amelia was deeply in love with fez too and there were moments where the obviousness slipped but she was smarter in hiding it.

She mainly did it for herself so she didn't have to struggle too hard on living without him but it was beginning to get hard since fez was around her like all the time.

Ashtray would ask Amelia to come around to help him with his homework every Friday. I didn't know if this was on purpose but I just knew she was there every Friday.

The reason I thought it was on purpose was because he would talk to her, making her stay longer.

"You finally started watching again?!" Amelia exclaimed while she sat on a chair inside the little room ash had in the store.

"Hell yeah I left off where they went to wake up his sister I think" Ashtray replied while he held a pencil distracting her from actually helping him with his homework. He knew if he wanted to get Amelia talking all he had to do was talk about the vampire diaries.

"Ugh I love her so much you don't understand. Like you'd think I like Klaus or Elijah but her, she's just the best!"

"Yeah I'm intrigued too not gonna lie what throws me off is him keeping his siblings in coffins and he knew Stefan back in the 20s" ashtray mentioned.

"That threw me off too I remember watching that episode I never imagined that they would know each other" Amelia added to his comment.

"Do they eventually wake up all his siblings?"

"Yeah episode thirteen"

"Still mad you know these episodes by heart man" Ash shook his head.

"Ash come on man..." Fez walked in making both of them turn in his direction. "You out here wasting her time"

"Oh no it's fine..." Amelia said, getting nervous at how he was looking at her. She tried to hide it by focusing on Ashtray instead of him.

"I need you to do something for me real quick then you going to come back and finish this up" fez ordered and the kid stood up excusing himself. Both of them walked out leaving the girl there. She began to look around until Fez walked back in.

She immediately froze knowing he was going to stay there until Ashtray came back.

She tried to play it off but he sat down on a chair on the other side of the table across Ashtrays seat while she sat in the middle. She turned to him, catching him already looking at her. 

"How are you?" He asked, leaning his head back still not removing his eyes from her.

"I'm doing better..." she replied, trying to look in another direction.

"You look good"

Amelia smiled and looked down. "Thank you"

Fez looked at her once more and sighed looking away. "Can I..." he stretched his hand out on the table making her look at it. "Forget it, I should head back..."

Amelia stopped him and took his hand. When she placed her hand on his he looked up to her then down to her hand and closed his holding hers.

"Are you okay?" She returned the question noticing something was off.

"Everything good shit just been seeming off" he replied, still holding her hand.

"Yeah I feel that..." Amelia said while fez began to rub the back of her hand. She wanted to remove it from his hold but she couldn't. She wanted to stay there. "I have to go"

"Wait..." he gripped onto her hand making her stop and look down to their hands when he felt that she had stiffened her hand he let go. "My bad I didn't mean to..."

"No I shouldn't of grabbed your hand in the first place let me just go" Amelia got out her seat and didn't even bother to say another word she just walked out the room

Fezco wanted Amelia back and she wanted him. She was obviously better at hiding it than fez but both of them wanted to be back together.

Part of fez just wished Amelia would make a bigger move than just holding his hand maybe it would take it from just holding hands to kissing or making up but Amelia was smarter than that and was going to make fez fight harder for her.

This happened often especially since Fezco was around Amelia a lot. Amelia's dad would ask fez to come to their house a lot.

I don't know if that was part of a plan to make them get back together.

The awkwardness between them was definitely growing. They were trying to stay off each other way too much.

Amelia watched what she said around him not wanting it to turn into a long conversation like they used to have.

It was basically Amelia the one that was pushing him away. Who wouldn't blame her? She didn't want to be taken as a joke.

Just taking him back like it was nothing just like that made her seem desperate and she didn't want that but it was just way too hard to stay away from Fez.

━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━

Amelia was in the bathroom downstairs putting toner in her hair to keep her highlights from looking too yellow. She used the bathroom downstairs since no one used it so it didn't matter if it got stained.

To her knowledge nobody was home until the bathroom door opened which freaked her out but was fine when she saw it was fez.

"Since when did you get here?!" she exclaimed and fez tried to look somewhere else except her since she was wearing revealing clothes.

"My bad I ain't even know you were home..." fez said and looked at everything she had on the counter. "What you doing?"

"Putting toner in my hair so it won't look yellow" Amelia explained and went back to putting some on the brush she was holding so she could put it in her hair. "Wait, did you want to use the bathroom..."

"Yea but I can just wait" he said, about to walk out.

"No it's fine I'll go upstairs the back side always takes me a while." She went to gather the stuff trying to avoid the awkward tension.

"I could help..." he offered, making her look towards him. "If you want"

"You don't have to I can do it but it just looks really bad when I do it but it does the job"

"I'll do it just tell me how" fez walked closer and took the brush out her hand. Amelia paused for a second and looked down to see how close they were and how his eyes were lingering on her even if he was trying his hardest not to.

"Literally just put some of the brush then put it on my hair until it looks like this" she pointed to the side of her hair that was already done. "Do you want me to sit?"

"If you want...can you sit on the sink?" He suggested and she nodded. She jumped on the sink then turned to the mirror so he could see the back of her head. Amelia pulled her phone out and looked at it so she didn't have to pay attention to him.

Fezco had started to put the mixture in her hair and he focused on that but there were little times where he would look at her in the mirror. She was wearing a cropped tank top he could tell she didn't have a bra on either.

Her legs were exposed since she was wearing some pajama shorts. She wasn't wearing any makeup which was starting to be usual now. Fez thought she looked beautiful either way but it was obvious she was starting to be more confident.

"How's ash?" She asked, making him snap back to her hair instead of her in the mirror.

"He cool just doing his usual stuff" he answered and then waited for her response trying to see if it would be about him.

"Can I ask you something?" She asked looking up to the mirror to see him.

"Anything"

"Are you almost done?"

"I am...was that the question?" He said putting the brush down.

Amelia turned to face him while she put her hair up in a clip. "No I just wanted to turn around"

"Then what was the question?"

"What are we doing? Like these two weeks have been awkward, I don't even know what's going on between us..." Amelia began to talk, making him sigh.

He took one step closer, which is all it took for him to be between her legs. He sat his hands on either side of her and leaned in.

"Amy I love you and I do want you back but I feel like it shouldn't be this easy..."

"Because it shouldn't, I don't know about you but I haven't figured anything out" Amelia mentioned trying to keep it together from how close he was from touching the sides of her thighs.

She missed being touched by him. It drove her crazy and she missed that feeling which she was craving right now.

"Me either and I don't want to rush things..." Fezco sat both of his thumbs on her thighs and began to rub them on her slowly.

"Me either..." Amelia muttered trying to contain herself.

She looked straight into his eyes and he did too. Amelia would always tell Fezco how beautiful his eyes were but he continued to insist hers were better. She could just stare at them all day.

"I have to go..." Amelia cleared her throat as she was about to jump off the counter. Fez saw what she was trying to do so he helped her out.

Once she was standing up she stood there hesitating to walk out. When she saw Fezco wasn't saying anything she went to step out the door

"Amy I swear I'm working on myself for you" he said, making her stop at the door way. She turned around and looked at him, giving him a small smile.

"You were already perfect for me fez you don't have to change" she replied then walked away.

Fez stood there for a second taking in what she said. Amelia meant it but Fezco couldn't believe it there was no way he would ever be good enough for Amelia.

Now while they were having their problems I was on a mission. A top secret mission. I could tell something bad had happened. And that it had something to do with Nate.

Tyler Clarkson was booked for assault. But this shit wasn't adding up. And I was putting together the pieces of the puzzle. And for that I needed someone else who had ears and eyes everywhere. I wasn't gonna stop until I got the truth.

"And why does Amelia fit into this?" Lexi asked, still confused about everything Rue was telling her.

"Well we all know Amelia knows maddys business there's no way she didn't know about nate so let's say she saw or like knew. Nate knows better than to believe she will keep her mouth shut so she needed leverage over her" rue continued to explain.

"Like what type? Fez type of leverage?"

"No he didn't do that her dad found out on his own I know that. There's a major player missing in this..." rue paced around trying to figure it out. "What about that boy that hangs out with you guys?!"

"Andrew?" Lexi questioned while rue nodded. "No I don't think..." she paused putting the pieces together. "Oh my god...Amelia hasn't spoke to Andrew since the night of the carnival I noticed that"

"See! Something must've happened!"

"I mean I heard McKay telling Cassie that he thought Andrew was bothering Amelia at the Halloween party but I don't think he would do anything to her hes like obsessed with her"

"What type of obsessed?"

"Ok yeah you're right weird type of obsessed" Lexi sighed.

"There's still so many pieces missing.."

Now I wanted to ask Amelia about this since I was so close to figuring everything out but I don't think she was in the mood for me to ask about Nate so I went to the next person who would know everything.

"Yo, Fez. So you know how in every '90s thriller, right, Morgan Freeman plays, like, the same semi-psychic black cop. So, I know that's kind of racist, but the point is, in every movie, he's always calmly putting the fucking pieces of the case together, while everybody else around him is fucking freaking out, saying, 'You don't know what the fuck you're talking about, Morgan. 'You're... You're a fucking bad husband. You should fucking retire." But no. Morgan is fucking hyper-focused. Because he can see beyond the little details. He's looking for the big fuckin' picture. Because all of this shit? It's connected, Fez. And it is way bigger than any of us can even fucking see. The point is, that's me. Right now, that is fucking me. I can see everything so fucking clearly. I know what happened, I know why it happened, and I know what the fuck I'm gonna do about it." Rue ranted while Fezco sat down just listening to her.

"Word."

"Word. She can't hear me, right?" Rue pointed to his grandma.

"She can't see you, either." Fezco replied.

"Okay, good, 'cause this is, like, some real top-secret shit."

"Trust me, Rue, she not gonna gossip." Fez reassured.

"Okay. Do you still have that gun?" Rue questioned.

"What gun?"

"The one from the couch."

"I mean, I got a couple guns."

"Why do you have so many guns?"

"My grandma."

"That's cool."

"What you worried about my guns for?" Fezco asked.

"Okay, well, I was thinking... that maybe you could use one to scare Nate Jacobs. And his friend Andrew, well not scare him, get answers out of them" rue said, making him pause and look up to her.

"Are you serious? Rue, that must be the dumbest shit you've said all fucking day."

"Fuck, it's a bad fucking idea, okay? I just was fucking spit balling, here. They been fucking around way too much with people. Amelia, maddy, Jules, me. I mean you must know..." rue said trying to get something out of him.

"What you know about Amy?"

"Well let's just say this: maddy and nate are dating but Amelia has always been there. Nate hates Amelia because well she's smart and talks sense into maddy that's when Andrew comes into place. The leverage. Now Andrew is like obsessed with Amelia. She didn't know this, she just thought they were friends but they haven't talked since the night of the carnival so he must've done something and that something had to do with Nate choking Maddy, ''Rue explained.

"What makes you think that?"

"Because there's no way nate got her to be quiet without doing something to her and he could've done it himself but why did Amelia stop talking to Andrew then and why is he still bothering her?"

"What you mean bothering her?" He questioned, now intrigued by the whole situation.

"Well Lexi told me she overheard McKay telling Cassie that he saw Andrew bothering her at the Halloween party and she also saw Andrew apologizing to Amelia for what he did in the Ferris wheel or something like that" rue answered.

Fez wasn't worried about being discreet anymore. He knew better than to feed rue with information like this but he was worried about what was really going on.

"Amy told me he tried to kiss her but that's all I know and the day of the game maddy made Amelia come home with me" fez mentioned hoping she might be able to put everything together since now he wanted to know what was actually going on.

"That is weird I'm telling you Andrew fits a huge part in this and ima figure it out" rue promised then sat down.

━━━✦❘༻༺❘✦━━━

After I left Fezcos house all he could do was wonder what was going on. That whole group was weird alright and Fezco knew better to stay out their business but Amelia was in that group which made it his business...or at least that's what he thought until he texted Amelia.

Fez.
Thursday 4:39 pm

Amy

Yes?

Is that kid Andrew bothering you?

Why?

Just answer the question amy

Why tho?

Because Amelia it's important

He was but he hasn't since the Halloween party

And the Ferris wheel what actually happened?

I already told you fez

Was that all that happened?

Why do you even care?

I'm about to call you

Which he did. Amelia groaned once she saw his name on her screen. She had no option but to pick up the phone.

"What?"

"Amelia tell me what actually happened" he spoke in a demanding tone.

"I told you he tried to kiss me..." Amelia sighed hearing how frustrated he was. "And he kinda tried to touch me but he didn't so it doesn't matter"

Fez gripped onto his phone from how angry he was. "What you mean it don't matter?! If he did that shit he shouldn't be getting away with it! Especially nate for putting his hands on you"

"What is this all about anyway?!"

"Rue came up in here telling me all types of shit with Jule maddy and you. What else has Nate done?"

"I've told you all I know, fez. Don't get involved in none of that"

"You're asking me something I can't do"

"Fez promise me you won't get involved! I've told you everything I know, just leave it alone please!"

"Amy he hurt you that should've been enough for me to do something. You think ima just let him get away with that?!"

"I know he shouldn't, Fez, but he can do something to you..."

"Don't worry about me I got it and I promise you he going to regret ever putting his hands on you"

The call ended and Amelia paused.

She wanted to do something but she didn't know what but she just knew Fezco was going to do something bad.

That afternoon nate stopped by at Fezcos store. He wasn't planning on doing anything yet but once he walked in the anger in him rose.

"What up, Fez?" Nate greeted, while he walked in the store.

"What's up, man?" Fezco tried to keep it cool for the most part."Yo, man. I don't know what's been going on with you, Rue, and Jules and shit. But you should know, I really do care about her."

"Aren't you, like, her drug dealer?" Nate asked not sure where he was taking the conversation.

"Nah, man."

"What, are you in a relationship? That's why you broke up with Amy?" Nate scoffed while fez shook his head.

"Nah, bruh, that's like, my family and what happened with me and Amy, not your business at all" Fezco talked back to him.

"It isn't but I was the one that saw her break down with maddy everyday" nate shrugged trying to strike a nerve in fez.

"Look, man, all I'm saying is, leave her and her friends alone," Fezco warned him.

"Is that a threat?" Nate asked.

"Nah, I'm just telling you."

"Or what?"

"We're not gonna be having this conversation." Fezco threatened, making Nate chuckle.

"Fezco, let's get this straight. You're dumb. You dropped out of school at 20, and now... you're a gangster. What are you, like, fucking Tony Montana? What's the plan? You gonna be living in a mansion, fuckin' pet tigers and shit? Maybe that's why Amelia is not even trying to get you back. Go fuck yourself."

"Listen, bruh. All I'm sayin', you keep fuckin' with Rue and her friends, it's gon be a problem. And tell that bitch of a friend of yours if he go near Amelia again ima kill him. and if you set your hands on Amy or Maddy again I'mma kill you." Fezco taunted as he watched Nate's face drop. "It's gonna be $5.75, playboy."

Now Fezco might've just threatened Nate in the meantime hoping he would actually listen instead of him actually having to do something to them but we all know that's not how Nate worked.

Amelia sat in her room worrying about him and what he would do.

She was hoping everything would be fine and he listened when she told him not to get involved but it was too late for that because Nate had already called the cops about fez and his business and it was about to get ugly.

- what do you think it's going to happen between them ??
