Chapter 2 No plans

Again,Gianna got a feeling that something might have happened between her and Ashton.

"We have no plans for tomorrow. Ashton wasn't at school today -"She lied with a sullen face.

"Really?? Did you call up?"Gianna asked.

"No-"

"Why?"Gianna asked with wide eyes because she knew Amber wasn't the type that wouldn't call to check up on a friend who wasn't in school.

"Please Gia, Let's drop the talk about him"Amber groaned and wiped her hands dry with a napkin.

"Let's talk about you rather "Amber said as a cute little smile found it's way to her face.

"Me??".

"Yes, How are you feeling now?"Amber asked as she handed a napkin over to Gianna.

"I am fine now"She replied.

They walked out of the kitchen together. They found their way to the sitting room.

Amber plopped herself on the couch giving a tired groan.

"Hey,Do you have any plans for tomorrow?"Gianna asked.

"For tomorrow? What day is tomorrow?"She asked confusedly.

"Geez-"Gianna exclaimed and sat beside her.

"Don't be ridiculous girl, Tomorrow is freaking Saturday"Gianna yelled at the top of her voice.

"Keep it down Gia".

"Oh my bad,But don't tell me you forgot? Gianna asked and waved her head.

"I guess I did"Amber replied and they gave a short laugh.

"So,do you have any plans?"Gianna asked.

"No, not any one I can remember".

"So,no dates with Ashton huh?"Gianna asked with raised brows slightly hitting her shoulders.

Amber felt her throat being dry as she struggled to force a smile.

"No"She said lowly.

"Okay,Do you mind joining me for shopping?"Gianna asked her.

"I will think about it".

"No,no,no-"Gianna waved her head in disapproval,"You are coming with me and that is final".

Amber only chuckled and said nothing.

"I will come pick you up at four. Be ready girl"Gianna said more like an order.

The clock on the wall ticked nine.

"Shoot!!! I have stayed out late"Gianna freaked out rising to her feet.

"What's wrong?"Amber asked following suit.

"Mom said I should be back by eight and it is already nine"Gianna said and ruffled her hair.

"You can tell her you were at my place".

"She would still be mad".

"I am not sure -"Amber said walking Gianna to the gate. Gianna turned swiftly giving her a look that says'You don't know my mom'.

"Goodnight bestie "Gianna said and pulled her to her short hug.

Her cologne hit her nose and immediately she was reminded of Him again. A lone tear fell off.

"Goodnight Gia-"Amber said and pulled out of the hug. She waved her goodbye as Gianna jogged away.

As Amber was about to walk into the house,She saw a figure clad in black standing afar off under the street light. He seemed suspicious.

Amber watched Gianna as she walked past him and then took a corner that led to her house.

Amber prayed for her safety as she strode back into the house.

She walked into her room and laid on the bed with her phone next to her.

The blanket covered half part of her body. She was still reminiscing those loving moments with Ashton.

She remembered the day they made out. She was the one who gave out her body to him because she loved him dearly. She cringed at the fact that she had messed up.

A player just took her virginity and she was sulking. She was sure her parents or friends won't believe her when she tells them that she had done it more than once and that too with a scoundrel.

She had failed her parents who had so much trust on her. Even her siblings who looked up to her. More tears found its way to her eyes.

All his promises of love were fake and unreal. She was the only one trying to make the relationship work but she failed to see it since Ashton always took her out and bought her lots of goodies.

Her parents never found out because she always covered it up with Gianna's name.

Her door clicked open and her mother walked in. She quickly shut her eyes pretending to be in a deep sleep.

"Goodnight Amberlynn"Lisa said calling her full name. She crouched low and placed a short kiss on her forehead.

The short kiss was much better than all the long kisses she ever shared with Ashton.

She wished she had played wisely with him. Lisa stroked her hair and she felt love - a different type and a special one.

The lights went off and Lisa walked out shutting the door quietly.

Amber popped out of the blanket with wet face. She wanted to scream loudly and tell her parents what she had done.

Her parents had continuously warned her to keep away from any intimate relationship with an opposite gender. Now,she understood why.

Her tender heart was crushing over and over again without any cure.

"Why, Ashton Why?"She muttered and got her phone.

A photo of Ashton popped up in the screen. She moved her hands on the screen reminiscing how handsome he always looked.

She always thought he looked handsome just for her but she never knew it was to woo other girls.

She scrolled and more pictures of him came up. Some were pictures of them with happy smiley faces.

It was only six weeks and he had to end it.

Another picture popped up with her pressing her lips tightly on his cheek. She remembered she did that when he bought her her favourite phone pouch.

A pouch which she always wanted,it was expensive and she couldn't ask her parents to get it for her.

Another picture came up where Ashton was giving her a piggy ride. That day,they went to an amusement park where they had so much fun.

Amberlynn chuckled when she remembered the silly face Ashton made when she fed him chocolate ice cream. He spilled it on her body.

When he was asked why he did that,he confessed that he despised chocolate ice cream and they looked like a child's poop.

Amberlynn laughed hard. But,she was only doing that to stop the uncontrollable tears.

"What have you done Amber?"She said in gritted teeth.

"You are so cheap that I can never take you for my second side chic. You are shameless and I guess your mom would surely be hiding her face in disgrace wherever she is ".

One of Ashton's many hurtful words to her. Bringing it back to mind made Amber cringe. He even called her sweet poor mother who knew nothing about a scoundrel like him.

She had given her all to this relationship. She could remember she heard side talks about Ashton but never cared to listen cos she believed him.

Her eyes moved to the closest which was filled with beautiful dresses. Most of them were gifts from Ashton.

She rose up and walked to the closest. She opened it widely and inhaled softly.

She ran her soft smooth hands through the beautiful dresses bought by Ashton. She pulled out a blue shirt that had her name "AMBER" written beautifully at the front.

Ashton got it especially for her. She hugged the shirt tightly and sat on the bed.

She could remember how he gave her the shirt. She gave out a short laugh embodied with tears. She laid back on the bed still hugging the shirt.

Still reminiscing,she didn't know when she drifted off to sleep. Everything became dark as her eyelids kissed each other. Soon,She was in dream land.
