Amber's P.O.V "No! I-I didn't lie to you." I somewhat lie to Jack as I look between the two of them frantically. "Why do you think it's okay to talk to her like that?" Gianna yells to Jack as she grows irritated from his initial tone with me. "I'll talk to her however the fuck I wanna talk to her." He mumbles lowly, allowing for only me to hear. "What was that?" Gianna pushes, having Jack completely ignore her words as he continues to stare down at me intensely. "What the fuck is she talking about? Huh?! What does she mean that she had to 'break you out' of my apartment?!" He pushes harshly I feel anxiety slowly start to set into my chest as I try to quickly come up with something good to say to him in response. But before I'm even able to speak, I'm interrupted by Gianna's loud and overly upset voice. "I. Called. The fucking police. Because your girlfriend that you claim to 'love so dearly' called me afraid for her life inside y
Amber's P.O.V Gianna sends me a knowing smirk as she continues to lead me towards the courtyard. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you two have a little crush on each other." She gleams "Shhh! Don't say that!!" I say eagerly as I hit her softly on the arm. "What?! I mean anything is better than Jack at this point." She laughs, causing me to break eye contact with her as my mind begins to bring me back to Luca.He is really sweetAnd smartAnd gentleAnd he does make me smile a lot. But he needs to understand that I'm in a relationship and that we can literally never talk outside of this project. "Jack is trying to get better." I say in response as I shake away all of my intrusive thoughts.Honestly, I don't know who I'm trying to convince more. Her? Or myself? "It didn't look like that last night. But keep telling yourself that." She says in a dry tone before going to change the conversation
Amber's P.O.V Anxiety slowly starts to increase within my bloodstream as I stare out into the space around me, causing my body to begin to involuntarily tremble.Actually, now that I think about it. Maybe I shouldn't let Luca come over.Even though I know Jack is busy with class right now; I still don't want to risk him somehow finding out. I quickly pull out my phone in order to text Luca and cancel our plans; but the moment that I do, my screen lights up with his contact on display.From Linda- project partner: I think I'm outside already. Should I wait out here for you or just walk in? As soon as I read Lucas message I immediately throw my head back in regret.Fuck Why did I do this?Would it be rude to tell him to leave now that he's already here?No- it's fine, everything will be fine.Jack won't find out It's all going to be okay. I hesitantly unlock my phone before going into Luca and I's messages in order to reply to his text. To Linda- project partner:
‘I am yours’Jack's P.O.V As I walk into Amber's dorm building, I notice Violet making her way through the lobby with a few of her friends. I immediately focus my attention elsewhere, seeing as I'm not really in the mood to talk to her. But, the moment that her eyes land on me, she immediately begins her approach. "Hey Jack!" Violet says excitedly as she is now standing directly in-front of me. "What's up Vi?" I say in efforts to greet her. "What are you doing here?" She asks somewhat seductively as she places her hand lightly on my forearm. My eyes drop down to her hand placement, having me immediately move my arm away from her. I'll never understand why Violet continues to try with me.Yeah she's hot, but she knows how I feel about Amber- everyone does. And on top of that she basically belongs to Zac. It's just hard to tell if she's actually being serious, or
Amber's P.O.V I'm awoken from my sleep by the sound of my phone ringing on the nightstand. My eyes adjust to the darkness in the room, causing confusion to take over me.How long have I been out for ? I look over at Jack, seeing him still sound asleep next to me as the loud ringing doesn't seem to bother him. Slowly, I remove Jack's possessive arm from around my frame as I reach over his body in order to grab ahold of my phone. Once I finally reach the device, I quickly turn it over, allowing me to see Giannas contact on display. "Hello?" I whisper quietly into the phone in efforts to not wake Jack up. "Hey." She says as I slowly sit my body upright before climbing out of the bed and into the restroom. As I bring myself into the secluded area, I make sure to close the door behind me in order to finish our conversation privately. "What's up?" I say, now speaking with a normal volume. My eyes begin to roam around my body as I st
Amber's P.O.V As soon as we reach Jack's apartment he immediately pulls out his key from his back pocket in order to unlock the door and grant us access to the space. Jack slowly pushes the door open, revealing both Zac and Violet standing in the kitchen. "Amber?! Hey!" Violet chirps upon our entrance as she acts excited to see me.She's so fakeI see right through her bullshit and I always have. "I didn't know you were coming out with us tonight?" She smiles while slightly furrowing her eyebrows together as she looks over at Jack, almost as if she were talking to him instead of me. "Yeah it's gonna be a fun time." Jack says to her briefly, having Zac quickly chime in. "Fuck yeah!! Amber's first frat partyyy!!!" He cheers as he smiles widely while lifting his glass in celebration. Jack and Violet remain silent, leaving me to awkwardly laugh alongside him. "Do you want to take a celebratory shot?" Zac a
Amber's P.O.V As we walk into the massive party I immediately turn my phone off and place it back into my pocket, completely disregarding Gianna's message. Jack's hand reaches for mine, having him hold onto me rather firmly as he leads me through the crowd of dancing people. I walk a little bit behind him, allowing him to lead the way as my vision becomes slightly impaired by all the flashing lights and thick clouds of smoke. The further we walk into the house the more prominent the smell of weed becomes, making me feel as though I'd get high just from being here. We all eventually make our way into the kitchen, seeing the multiple bottles and packs of seltzer's filling the countertop as a small crowd of drunken people fill the space. I notice Zac glaring over at one of the guys across from us, having his whole entire demeanor shift as he begins to approach him. He places an intimidating hand on his shoulder, pulling him in close as if they were friends. "
Amber's P.O.V I feel a sense of adrenaline rush throughout my entire body, making me feel alive. "Jack, I can literally hear my heart beating in my chest." I say as he pulls my body closer to his now that we were standing in the middle of the dance floor. "I know, but it makes you feel amazing doesn't it?" He asks as he runs his fingers through my hair. I nod my head at him honestly, feeling all the energy in my body pulsate throughout my veins.I never want this feeling to end. "Dance with me because this high isn't going to last long." He says before turning my body around so that my backside was now pressed against him. I lean my head back, allowing it to rest against his shoulder as I begin to move my body to the rhythm of the music. Jack's hands slide down my frame, having them stop at my hips as I start to grind them into him, knowing that that's what he wanted me to do. The song 'Electric Soul' begins to play throughout the speakers
