Forgive Me- Part 3

Jaime's POV

The weeks leading up to today were stressful to say the least. All the band meetings, the stress of being back in Australia, random private calls that keep hanging up before I can answer; it’s been more than a little stressful. I'm not going to lie though; I do like being back here. Australia is a beautiful country and depending on where you are it's nice and hot too. But today is going to be a tough one. We're playing our last show in Perth in about two hours, then I'm going to the airport and I'm flying to Canberra. Yes, despite all the guys’ protests I'm going to find her. I need to; I need answers at least...

"Jaime I really don't think you should do this..." Mike said as he came to drop me off at the airport.

"I thought you wanted her back too?" I asked. Mike was almost destroyed when she left. They had gotten so close even before all the drama. He had somehow found out about her and hugs which made her more comfortable around people and Mil was like a little sister to him. Then when we got into our fight and she moved in with him, they got even closer. When she left, he felt as though a part of his family had run away from him...

"Of course I want her back! I love her like she's my sister. But you can't force her to come back"

"But what if the only reason she hasn't is because of our fight? What if I can fix it?"

"But what if you can't? What if she's happy? Will you be able to let her go?" He asked watching me carefully. "Yea, I didn't think so..."

"Gif you're so much like your brother"

"Where do you think I get it from?" He asked with a grin. We walk into the airport and Mike drags me up to the check in. "Flight to Canberra?"

"Name?" The lady asked sweetly. "Fuentes and Preciado"

"Wait what?" I asked but he ignored me.

"ID please?" Mike handed over his ID and looked at me. Wordlessly I hand over my own to the lady. She smiles then hands them back then turns her attention to the screen.

"Mike what are you doing?"

"She's my sister. Do you really think I'm going to let you fuck it up? I'm coming with you and am going to help you to bring her back home."

"Mike..."

"Shut up, you're not the only one who misses her"

"Thanks" I say and he smiles at me.

"Okay so here are your tickets, your flight leaves in an hour from gate 12." She said handing us our tickets.

"Thanks"

"No problem. I couldn't help but over hear by the way, good luck. I hope you can work it out." She said with a smile.

"Yea me too..." I say as we head through security and over to our gate to wait for our flight.

"Qantas flight 718 direct to Canberra now boarding from gate 12"

"Ready?" Mike asked

"To possibly lose the person I love for a second time? Yea sure, bring it..." I say shakily.

"At least you'll know..."

"That's why I'm going. I need to know."

"Yea, that's the only reason I convinced Vic not to chain you to a heater or something..."

"He was going to do that?"

"He doesn't know if you can handle it. You were really bad last time..."

"I know..." I say with a sigh. I could barely function knowing that Amelia had left me. I just didn't know what to do with myself anymore. She had become my life and then suddenly she was gone.

"What if she moved?"

"Well I'm sure Jason or Eliza would be there, they could point us in the right direction" I say as I give my ticket to the flight assistant to get it scanned before heading onto the plan.

"Would they though?"

"Honestly? I have no idea" Mike just nodded sadly. We settled into our seats for the four hour flight ahead of us, and despite waiting for four years to see her again. These past few days have seemed longer than all of that. I just need to see her again...

When we arrived in Canberra and got a cab I realised how much of a bad idea this could be. What if she doesn't want to see me? What if she hates me? Can I handle that? What will I do?

"It's too late to back out now Himes. You're doing this" Mike said sternly as the car pulled up to Amelia's apartment complex. He must have seen my internal struggle...

"I know..." I pull myself from the car and look up at the building. I have to do this. My kid could be up their right now with the girl of my dreams, and I need to see them... Mike pats me on the back, silently giving me the go ahead and I take it.

The second the elevator doors ping open I am speed walking down the hallway to Amelia's apartment. I hesitate though before I knock. Can I do this? Do I really have a choice? I sigh deeply before knocking on the hard wood door.

I can hear someone walk up to the door but it doesn't open. I suspect they looked through the hole. Is it Milly? Does she not want to see me? I'm practically bouncing on the spot because of my nerves. Why won't she open the door? Just as I think it the door swings open but it isn't Milly standing there. It's Jason; looking angry and confused.

"What are you doing here?" He near growled

"Umm... Is-" I cough my through clear before continuing. "Is Milly here?"

"Jaime, Milly hasn't been here in four years"
