I was woken up by the frantic beeping of my alarm clock right beside me on my nightstand. Without opening my eyes I shut it off and curled up, ready to fall asleep again.

When I finally looked at the clock I noticed that I had to get ready for lunch with Zack. I would've been lying if I had said that I wasn't nervous. If Zack acted the way he had the day before the whole lunch would just consist of an awkward silence between the two of us. I just hoped it had to do with Amelia's presence and not with me. But then again, he wouldn't have asked me out for lunch if he didn't want to talk.

I got showered, dressed and put on my makeup as fast as I could and was ready the moment Zack rang the door bell. I quickly grabbed my purse and swung open the door, revealing Zack. He shot me an awkward smile and I smiled back until I noticed there was someone standing next to him, apparently accompanying him.

"Heeey guys!" I said with obvious fake enthusiasm and an even more obvious fake smile. That girl would have to be really stupid to take it as an 'it's so nice to see you'-smile instead of an 'what the hell are you doing here?'-one.

"Hey, May!" Amelia squeaked, kissing both of my cheeks while I shot Zack a questioning look over her shoulders at which he just rolled his eyes. Well, so much for 'just the two of us'. That lunch was going to be ... interesting.

Just as I had expected the lunch was awkward to say the least. Most of the time it just consisted of Amelia talking about one of her friends or her last model job, a noise of acknowledgement from Zack and I, or sheer silence.

The only good thing was that Amelia was distracting me from Zack, so I couldn't stare at him in an awkward kind of way. The bad thing was that her constant chatter made my head ache and I started to zone out now and then.

"I'm sorry." I was brought back out of my stiffness by Zack's sudden apology. Just then I noticed that Amelia wasn't at our table anymore. Of course he would talk when she wasn't around.

"No worries." I muttered back while I massaged my temples.

"No, I really mean it. She wasn't supposed to come but I couldn't talk her out of it once she knew who I was going with. She's just really affectionate."

Affectionate my ass. She's clingy and doesn't trust neither me nor you.

"Look, it's okay. We can't change it now, can we?" I asked.

"No, not if she somehow disappeared on the toilet." He chuckled.

"Ministry of magic." I joked.

"What?" He asked chuckling.

"Nothing." I answered when I saw that Amelia had started making her way towards us again.

"I think I'll head home. We'll see each other soon, hopefully." I said, standing up and pulling both of them, yes even Amelia, into a hug.

"Bye, May!" Amelia said with an overly sweet tone and I swear, I had to refrain myself from punching her then and there. I said goodbye to both of them and started walking home.

I couldn't help myself but be angry at myself for still being so nice to Amelia. Her friendly behaviour towards me was just an act, a bad one at that. But then again, I did the same thing. I acted overly friendly to not get on her bad side. And if she even had a really small piece of brain in that head of hers, she knew that it was fake, too.

Amelia's behaviour really bothered me and I thought about it the whole way to my apartment. Maybe she was just afraid of losing Zack by letting him go out with another woman. But since the boys all told me what she was like, it was most unlikely that fear was the reason of her acting that way. The guys would probably say it was obsessive or controlling whatever she was doing with Zack.

I got home at around three and decided to take a nap. It felt like mere minutes when my phone woke me but when I looked at the clock it was about seven. Being the curious person I was I picked up just to be greeted by Matt's angry voice.

"May?"

"Yeah? What's up?" I mumbled somewhat sleepily into my phone.

"Oh shit, sorry, did I wake you up?"

"Nah, it's okay… What's wrong?" I asked, referring to the anger in his voice.

"We need you, like, right now." He stated.

"Because of what?" I asked and letting out a silent chuckle when I heard Jimmy and Brian shout "ORGY!" in the back.

"I'll be there in ten minutes." I said and hung up after he gave me his address and directions.
