Chapter 4

Amelia walked into the studio in fresh clothing as Bruce and Violet woke up yawning and looking like trash

Their eyes red and their hair everywhere, they looked really bad but Amelia chose to ignore that

"Where were you?", a sleepy Bruce asked rubbing his eyes trying to wake himself up, clearly 7am wasn't the best time to wake him up and another clear thing was that he wasn't a morning person at all

Then Violet yawned, still craving more sleep and not trying to wake herself up at all, she was clearly comfortable in the position she was in at the moment

"I woke upon early, went home , bathed and then got you guys some clean clothes and food, you can just bath in the studios bathroom", she said which made Biolet snap her eyes open completely and look excited

"Thanks", Violet said standing up from the cold floor and collecting the paper bag containing food and another containing the clothes from Amelia

She just dropped the bag containing clothes carelessly on the floor and brought out the food

"Salad?", she asked carrying the plastic food container with a sad look on her sleepy face as she yawned

"Yes salad....and barbeque and some fries"Amelia laughed

"I don't see it",was all Violet said

"Just open the food", Amelia rolled her eye at Violets impatience and lack of faith in her, did she really think Amelia would bring only salad,when they weren't rabbits

As Violet opened the food she saw tasty barbeque with some fries then leaves as she called them covering their beauty from being seen unless you opened it up

"Its so good where did you get this"Violet asked eating hers while Bruce's was still in the paper bag

"Just eat", Amelia laughed then kicked Bruce's sleeping body on the floor

"And you wake up finally"which made Bruce groan alittle and mumble something incoherent

She then went to the mirror to check her appearance again, everything in her life had to be perfect

"So Vee do you want to join me and Bruce at shooting practice after he drops the paper at the station today?", she asked still concentrating on her reflexion, there was something wrong and she couldn't just place what it was

Maybe she didn't curl her hair properly or her lipstick was too much, all she knew was that something was terribly wrong

And besides the only reason she invited Violet was so Bruce won't cancel shooting practice with her, he was fond of doing that these days and it was because of Violet

"Yeah sure", Violet smiled with food still in her mouth, the only thing she liked or possibly loved more than food was apparently Bruce

Minutes later Bruce came out of a door which apparently led to the ensuite bathroom of the studio, the studio was simply marvelous in every way, he was wearing a white tee and another slack

"Emm you smell fresh", Violet said dropping her food and walking to him, she stood on her tip toe as Bruce was far taller than her and then kissed him deeply, it was turning to a very hot make out session and Amelia's heart kept breaking with every kiss

She was quietly watching through the mirror, she couldn't just look away, it was like her eyes were glued to them

Then finally their eyes met, he pulled away from Violet quickly and smiled at her

"Sorry Lee I got caught up", Violet smiled turning around

All Amelia did was to nod , she was sure they could see her reflection through the mirror, well unless they were blind, she just felt really cranky at this point

"Ok well guys I have to go home to take a shower because of my special soap and all", she said breaking the silence

"I'll be back soon for shooting", she said as she pecked Bruce on the lips and walked out waving at Amelia,Amelia didn't bother waving back or saying even a bye

"I know", Amelia looked at Bruce waiting for him to finish his sentence, I mean who says I know and ends it like that

"I know you like me", he finally said after a minute of silence

"Wha-", before she could finish her sentence he continued

"Don't bother lying, I've noticed, I'm not an idiot"

"Well let's say for instant if I liked you, would you bear leaving Violet for me?, even if you would I could never break her trust, she and you are my only true friends", although the words she said broke her heart she knew she had to

"Let's forget about this conversation then", he stated getting his food

"Yeah we have to get to the police station", she replied

"Let's just go now, I'll eat in the car", he said getting a plastic fork out and holding it with the food

As they got to the car the tension choked them both, unspoken words, undone actions, disappointment and heartbreak filled the air as well

"I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable", Bruce said while pulling out of the driveway and unto the main road

"Its ok really", as much as she wanted to smile she couldn't

"I loved you then and you didn't"

"Cut it off please, it hurts to much to talk about it", she whispered as she teared up abit, but she wouldn't let him see her weak

"I just need to let it out", he groaned

"I begged you to give me a chance and you didn't, I begged severally, now I found love and you are making me feel bad"

"What the flying f Bruce!, I never said anything", she yelled facing him

"Well your eyes, your expressions when we are with Violet and when we are alone shows it, shows the love we could have had",He replied quietly

"You really didn't have to bring this up", was all she said

"You're right"

No word was said after that, the air was thicker than ever, tension was cutable 

Soon after they got too the police station they had visited to often in the past few months
