Chapter 37 Soon-to-be Husband

• Amelia POV
• Callie hooked her arm with mine as we both ambled to nowhere in particular, as if she was preventing me from running away. I smiled inwardly, “Amelia?” She suddenly called softly, then I raised my head to look at her, “When are you planning to come back?” She asked tenderly, her eyes had become moist. I managed to squeeze out a smile before wiping out my gaze from her tempting face, “I already shared the good news with Mom and Dad, they were both joyous to learn that you're now in college, and they really want you back, and even Clare” I put on a self-mockery smile upon hearing Callie words, that was an open lie. Mom has always wanted me out of her life, so I'm certain she would never want me back in her house, besides, I see no reason to go back there, I'm fine now. “Amelia” Callie tugged my shirt, standing in front of me. I giggled, “Speaking of Clare, why haven't I seen her around?” I purposely asked, she twitched her lips then answered, “She has been suspended for the past two weeks” My eyes bulged, “For… For what?” I sputtered, staring at Callie's side face.
• “Well, she got into a big fight” Callie replied plainly, my eyes widened more, and she chuckled, “Don't tell me you're surprised, you know Clare very well, don't you?” I shook my head sideways, she would never change. I caught a glimpse of a bench, “Let's sit there” I pointed at it as we both quickened our sluggish steps. As soon as we both sat down, Callie fixed her eyes on my face, expecting me to say something. I breaths out softly then called out her name, “Callie” She lifted her brows, looking at my face inquisitively. “Say it already, Amelia” She smiled, I put my lower lip into my mouth before speaking up, “It's about your boyfriend,” I began, she nodded her head then muttered, “Desmond” I don't care whatever his name is. “Does he truly loves you?” I inquired in a gentle tone.
