Derek's P.O.V

"Well, kiddo-" I started and went to ruffle Amelia's hair but her hand stopped me before I could.

 Damn her fast reflexes. 

"Don't call me kiddo, you're not much older yourself, Daddio." She responded with a smirk on her face and I glared at her. I had been given that nickname for a reason I never wanted to remember. A reason that only Amelia knew because she walked in on the argument that followed the situation that I never wanted to re-live. 

"Daddio?" Tommy asked and I glared harder at Amelia.

"It's a long story that I don't want to share." I grumbled but kept my eyes on Amelia whilst she tried not to laugh.

"We all have time." Ryan mentioned and nodded at all of our coffees and hot chocolates. We were still in the cafe but hadn't managed to get Amelia to eat anything yet. Although, she did manage a bottle of water without throwing it back up.

"I don't think you guys really want to know if i'm honest." I sighed and Amelia pursed her lips.

"I think they will."

"No one asked for your opinion Amelia. It's as irrelevant as the sick on that poor person's bushes." I sassed her and she rolled her eyes.

"We do want to know. What happened to being a gang, huh?" Jimmy asked and I rolled my eyes. We were all known as being a 'gang' or 'squad' at school. We had been since we all met each other. We were all so alike yet so different in every way possible that we all just worked together well. We all got into a lot of trouble and all had our own reputations as 'trouble-makers', 'bad boys' and some even called us 'fuck-boys'. So when we all joined forces we already had a pretty bad reputation and although our behavior has improved within the last few years because we've all grown up, we still occasionally do things to keep our rep up.

"Fine. But we might be here for a while-"

"Just get on with it, Derek the dick." Aaron rushed and I rolled my eyes at him and sighed.

"Basically, Amelia had this friend...She was pretty hot, our age and seemed like a really nice girl. We got along really well and eventually one thing led to another and we spent a night together. I didn't think much of it and I didn't think she did either. We lost contact after that and one day she phoned me up, said she was in the area and wanted to meet me to talk about something. I met her and she told me she was pregnant. I didn't understand how it could have happened because we'd used protection and she told me she was on the pill also, but nevertheless, I accepted it and told her I'd be there for her. She then suddenly left without any reason and about a month later I saw her again and found out it was all a lie. She just wanted me to give her attention, spend all my time with her, do everything for and with her. She was psycho and I didn't realise until I found out she was lying. We had a huge argument that Amelia walked in on because she was still friends with her at the time, and that's how she found out everything. I haven't seen her since." I explained and they all looked at me.

"How old were you when this  happened?" Ryan asked.

"15 or 16 i'm not exactly sure."

"Oh."

"Well I think you did the right thing anyway." Aaron said and I nodded at him in thanks. Jimmy looked at me and sniffled whilst wiping away a fake tear.

"That was so... heart warming!" He exclaimed and then sat up straight and stared blankly at me. "I thought it was going to be something more exciting than that if i'm honest."

"Well I'm sorry to disappoint you." I rolled my eyes at him as I spoke, a sarcastic tone laced my words. 

"When do we go back to school?" I asked when it had gone quiet.

"Day after next."

"Oh. Amelia you're starting then, right?" I asked her and she nodded.

"Wait, how old are you again?" Tommy asked her.

"16, first year of 6th form, just like you." She smiled at him slightly and he nodded. When he turned away her face fell and she muttered "Unfortunately" under her breath and I laughed. Tommy turned and glared at her.

"I heard that." 

"How unfortunate." She replied with a bored tone.

"Right, well I best be going." Jimmy stated as he took the last sip of his hot chocolate,  a mischievous glint lined his eyes.

"Me too." Tommy chipped in.

"Same." Aron added. They all shared a look and I looked at them warily. They were about to do something reckless.

"I best go after them. Will you guys be alright? Call me if you nee-" I stopped talking to Amelia and Ryan as someone knocked into me fiercely.  I turned around to face the culprit, angry.

"What the hell?" I growled at him and he laughed at me. He was tall and well built but nothing I couldn't handle.

"What the hell?" He mocked me and I took a step towards him. I felt as if fire was blazing through my body and it showed in my facial expression.

"Derek, stay calm." I heard Amelia say but I wasn't focused on her, I was thinking about ways to beat this guy without going to prison for it.

"Aw, do you need your girlfriend to help you? "The guy asked, and his friend's all laughed.

"Get the hell away from me while you can." I warned him one last time. He laughed.

"I'd like to see you lay a finger on me, girl."
