Chapter 143

• Amelia stood up, unable to look Sebastian in the eye, and started walking towards the truck, the tears in her eyes unable to come out anymore. Her eyes were red and the tears that were out before started to dry as the cold salty breeze blew on her face. Sebastian was unable to move because the guilt was laying him down, but he managed to move his legs and went after Amelie.
• Amelia was halfway to the truck when Sebastian grabbed her hand and made her face him, his face displaying all the emotions of guilt, sadness, pain by her action, and anger at himself. He opened his mouth to say something while staring into her eyes that showed anger, hurt towards him, and other emotions he couldn't quite see properly because his eyes were becoming blurry with tears and started to hurt because he forgot to blink.
• Amelia stared at him, expecting to hear something, anything but after seeing that he didn't say anything, she yanked her hand away from his grasp and ran towards the truck. Sebastian went after her, “Amelia I'm sorry." He said getting to the truck. Grannie, Gramps, and Enzo were outside and didn't seem too surprised to see the look on Amelia's face. Amelia stared at them, hurt in her eyes before it slowly turned into realization. “You…you guys knew about it, didn't you?” She asked, her voice soft and low, almost as low as a whisper, but they were able to hear it despite the noise from the waves hitting the shore, the breeze carrying the noise of nature and that of the people on the beach.
