Amber's P.O.V[The Next Day] "Wake up!" Nina says as she lightly shakes me awake. I stir in my sleep before slowly opening my eyes to meet her gaze. "What?" I groan out, still feeling tired. "We're going to another waterpark today so get ready." She says, pulling me out of bed while speaking. "Okay calm down, I'm up. Leave, so that I can get ready." I somewhat joke, even though I was still half asleep. She lets out a small laugh before strolling out of my room and leaving me to be alone. Once the door closed, I then lay my head down against my pillow as I try to drift back off to sleep. Just as I was at the point to where I could fall back asleep, my phone begins to ring, disturbing me from my peaceful state. "Hello?" I croak into the phone, forgetting to check the caller ID. "Don't go out today." I hear Jack state in
Amber's P.O.V "What do you mean break up with Madeline?" He asks as he furrows his eyebrows at me. "Break up with her. You say you want me? If you really do than this shouldn't be that big of a challenge for you." I say, crossing my arms over my chest while speaking. "Babe-" he sighs before I go to interrupt him. "No Jack, don't babe me. Do it or I can't keep doing this." I said as I pointed between me and him. "Doing what?" He asks in confusion. Is he serious right now? "Doing this, doing whatever it is that me and you have." I express, using hand gestures to emphasize my point. "Okay." He shrugs as he goes to sit down on the pullout couch in the living room area. "Okay? So you'll do it." I ask, walking over to him. "If that's what makes you happy." He says as he pulls me onto his lap.
Amber's P.O.V "What does this mean for us?" I ask, pulling away from our heated moment as I snuggle into his chest. "I guess that means we can start something real." He says, smiling down at me. "So, you're breaking up with Madeline right?" I question, anticipating his answer. "Yes. Amber. I'm breaking up with Madeline." He says, speaking to me with a small sense of annoyance at the question. Not wanting to ruin this so far perfect day, I brush it off my shoulders and listen to the patterns of his heart beating against his chest instead. "You know, I never actually had feelings for Madeline." He blurts out, taking me by surprise. "Then why did you date her?" I ask in a soft mellow tone, not really wanting to know the truth to his answer. It's probably some stupid reason like he needed someone to fuck or something. "Because s
Jack's P.O.V Fuck it. I have to go and get her.Amber's P.O.V "Amber, wait!" I hear a deep voice call from behind me. I wipe away the tear that had escaped my eye as I continue my journey down the hallway, not wanting to speak to him any further. "Babe, I love you! I swear I wasn't lying." He says as he places himself in front of me and holds onto my forearms, preventing me from walking away. "Jack, you just said that you've told five girls that you loved them, me being one and that you didn't even mean it." I say, feeling my bottom lip begin to quiver as my eyes start to water again. "You're putting words into my mouth. I never got to answer. Me, Jack Gilins is in love with you, Amber Elstastine." He says as he looks deeply into my eyes. "How do I know you're not just fucking with my emotions." I say as I wipe away the many tears that had fallen. "Because I'm putting my
Amber's P.O.V As I run down the hallway, I feel Jack's presence behind me making me feel safer. Just as I was about to knock on the door Jack grabs me by my waist and slams my back into his chest. "You're not telling Jovana anything." He whispers lowly in my ear. "And, why not?” I ask as goosebumps start to form on the back of my neck. "Because, babygirl." He pauses as he sneaks his hand inside my pants before rubbing my heat in an agonizingly slow motion, allowing soft moans to escape my lips. "This stays between me and you" he smirks as he slips a finger inside of me. He's literally fingering me in a hallway, right outside the door where his girlfriend is. The doorknob starts to twist and he immediately takes his hands out before placing them at his sides, just before the door opens. "How long have you guys been waiting out here?" Arden laughs, looking over at us
Amber's P.O.V "Love her like a sisterrrrr? Right, Jack?" Madeline questions, looking baffled and confused as she looks over at us, trying to make sense of what was happening "N-" he starts before I cut him off. "He doesn't love me, Madeline. He's just pulling a sick prank on me because I threatened to snitch to his dad about something that he did so now he's just trying to get me in trouble with my mom, right Jack?" I rush, forcing an anxious smile as I internally cringe at the sound of that word. The room grows incredibly silent and I could tell that Jack was contemplating on telling her the truth or not. I cough awkwardly and kick him in the sien, urging him to speak. He lets out a deep sigh before slowly nodding his head at her in response. "Okay, cool. Annoying stepbrother situation I see. " Madeline smiles, causing me to cringe even more so. Being reminded that Jack is my stepbrother mak
Amber's P.O.V[Next Day] "Is everyone packed and ready to go?" Dave asks. I'm just now realizing how distant he and my mom have been towards each other. I don't know why I didn't notice this before but it's upsetting that they haven't told me what's going on in their relationship but they decided to tell Jack. They're literally acting like none of their problems exist and that everything is filled with rainbows and lollipops. I can't even bring myself to feel any pity or sorrow for my mother because she didn't tell me. Instead, she's chooses to be sneaky and conniving about it like she always is. But honestly, I'm so done with their whole marriage, in fact I wish it never even started.I just need to focus on me and Jack's future right now, and nothing else. I grab all my bags and belongings, forcefully giving them to Dave before climbing into the truck. "Hey." Jack says as he takes his seat down next to him. I nod my
Amber's P.O.V We all exit the car and make our way into the house. The feeling of relief and comfort washes over me just as I step into the living room. It was currently 3:00 am so I assume Jo and everyone will leave tomorrow, along with his family. I wish everyone a good night before trudging up to my room, having Jo, Nina, and Mia follow. I mentally roll my eyes seeing as though we just got home and I want to lay in my bed...alone. But, I was too tired to bitch about it so I just decide to brush it off. "Um, I'm going to sleep in my bed but one of you can sleep on the other side. Or if you want, you guys could make a pallet." I suggest. "Yeah okay, I call the bedside." Jo says as she lays her body down and instantly drifts herself off to sleep. I desperately wanted to do the same but I knew I couldn't, I had to help everyone find their sleeping arrangements. "Sooooooo, pallets?" I ask as
