Kas was still busting out stupid comments and Thomas was still trying to ignore him when Amelia approached and took a seat next to them, saying hi and expressing her wish for tomorrow to come. Kas, ever obnoxious, chose to focus on the unimportant part of what she had said.

"Shit, not me Hayley Williams, I'd rather every day be carnival day rather than deal with sitting in a bitch ass classroom listening to some prick chat such and such about whatever."

Thomas just looked at Kas in disbelief for a second before turning to face Amelia.

"What's got you worried?"

"Well I prefer to be productive, I am trying to keep my life on the good side but today is pretty much the deciding day, and it doesn't really matter but the person that started all of this is back" She looked down quietly. She had never mentioned her father and she hardly talked about her mother. He has had a 7 year prison sentence and got released today. You could tell that her worry was more fear. She didn't know what to do if he came back. "Someone from my past is coming back, I now know why he left" she mumbled quietly and you could see that it was breaking down her walls of no emotion.

Thomas could tell whatever she was talking about had it's hooks in her deep. He had a few of those hooks himself, painful things from the past that were agonizing when they happened but slowly healed over the years, becoming less and less painful until they were knocked by people, places or situations and you were reminded of the pain all over again. He was a little lost for words, Amelia was more Kas' friend than his, but Kas was even more emotionally illiterate than he was. As if to prove the point of Thomas' inner dialogue Kas piped up.

"Shit girl, you want to talk about people leaving you're in the right place. We just left a city of nine million damn people to come to this fucking place. The land of the eighteen year old seniors and the fuckable principles."

Ignoring Kas and hoping Amelia would too Thomas quickly wracked his mind for something to say. Anything. 

"People coming back into your life can be difficult. You going to be okay?"

Stupid, stupid, stupid. Thomas would never be good at this sort of thing, probably because he never got it himself... Now wasn't the time to analyse his own past again though.

"It was all his fault, I never want to see him again, He is stupid, mean, and he caused everything bad that ever happened to me" She said angrily. "I know he will find me and expect me to forgive him but I know him, he will go back to doing what he is doing and the cycle will happen all over again I can't deal with it" Her hidden fiery temper was coming out and you could see as she had never been this angry as tears clouded her chocolate brown eyes. "He will end up going back and my mother will go back to how she used to be and then it would all be on me again all because of him" she yelled. She was hitting next to where she was sitting over and over again in her anger.

What she said hit a nerve with Thomas. Made him remember how many times his mum had taken his father back before they finally broke up for the last time.

"That's sounds... Really fucked up. I'm sorry, but who will?" Thomas asked softly, surprised that Kas hadn't said anything. Maybe even he had gotten the hint now.

Amelia looked down as she got rid of her tears. "I have never told anyone what happened as I only found out the reason 2 days ago, it is a long story, my father, if he comes back he will ruin everything again, he will apologise but the next day he will do what he does and then some time he will go back where he was, my mother will go back to the way she was and I will have to do what I used to do" She looked at Kas. He would know that she meant that she would have to do everything again and her mother would going back to being an alcoholic. She bit her lip. "What he did and what happened scares me because I don't want it to happen to someone I know" she mumbled.

Thomas for some reason felt like he should take a step back from his role in the conversation. She was talking to Kas now, and for better or worse this was no longer his responsibility. Kas had befriended her, and it seemed he had somehow even earned her trust. This was on him. 

Rubbing his jaw awkwardly Kas was even more lost than he would be in the classroom, this was definitely not his area of expertise, but she was looking at him.

"That shit won't happen again. Your mum learned her lesson, remember? People don't just backslide on stuff like that. Besides, it's been years, she might even not care about him anymore."

It was shit, even Kas knew it. Thomas on the other hand was proud. He'd tried. In an incredibly awkward situation, the type where defense mechanisms flourished he responded seriously, which was no small feat by any means for him. If the conversation wasn't so grim Thomas might have smiled.

Amelia nodded quietly. "I never told you about my father, I only found out what he did a few days ago but I knew where he was and now he is back." She had written in her diary which she accidentally dropped on that page as she looked down quietly. The diary was telling how her father had been in jail. It also said why she was there. "Even if my mother didn't go back to the way she was, I will always be caring for myself, you never go back after you know how to, there are some things you can never come back from" She mumbled. She held one more secret that no one in the whole world knew about her.

"That's true I guess, but it doesn't have to be a bad thing. Independence is what most of the people on this field are striving for. You've got it, you may not have gotten it in a nice way but it's yours now anyway. There's power in that." Kas spoke, in a very unusual way for him. 

When Amelia dropped her diary both Thomas and Kas instinctively looked down at it. Thomas was able to read a sentence or so, finding out where her father had been. He'd guessed as much. Kas hadn't been able to read it in time, his mind too preoccupied with trying to magic up a way to make his friend feel better.

Amelia snatched up her diary. Her father had tried to drag her into it, she remembered now and he did but less than a week later he got arrested so she wasn't that deep into it and managed to get out but he would try to drag her into it again. "He is going to do what he tried to do before he left, drag me into it, make me do what he does, I don't want to but he will make me, I will end up just like him, a criminal, I don't want to end up in jail" She mumbled quietly. You couldn't tell what she was talking about as she looked down. She clutched her diary quietly and looked up at Kas.

"Trust me, you're not going to jail. Even if whatever it is got you arrested, no ones going to lock up a first time offender, especially a student in a tiny ass town like this. You're going to be okay, I'll try to help you in whatever way I can. Now come on, there's nothing we can do about this right now. Let's go find E.J and have some fun before we have to start those punk ass lessons tomorrow." Kas got to his feet, offering her a hand up.

Thomas smirked, that asshole could be cute.

Amelia took his hand and stood up before pulling away. She was smiling brightly. "Yeah lets go and find EJ" She giggled brightly and looked around and saw him and ran over to him. "EJ, EJ" She giggled and hugged him tightly. EJ was her boyfriend as they had got together in the summer holidays. "How was the end of your summer since last week because I was busy preparing this week for school, wanna hear a new song I wrote?" She giggled brightly. She was a girl who loved music and books so she wrote songs and stories. She sat next to EJ and waited for their response. "By the way I think Thomas and Kas are on their way over," she told him.
