Thoughts on this chapter? How do you feel about Jack finally opening up to her?
Amber's P.O.V I'm awoken from my sleep as the feeling of someone's lips against the skin of my neck causes me to become alert. My eyes shoot open, only to be met with Jack as he leans his entire body over mine. "You're awake!" Jack says in satisfaction as he smiles down at me. I awkwardly smile back up at him in response as I cautiously sit my body upright. "Are you hungry? I made you some breakfast." He asks enthusiastically. I hesitantly nod my head at him in response, allowing him to grab onto my hand before bringing me with him into the living room. The smell of freshly cooked food fills the open air, causing my stomach to growl as I take in the aroma. I sit myself down at one of the barstools in the kitchen, watching Jack as he makes my plate for me. As Jack begins to pile my plate with a variety of different foods, my mind begins to take me back to our conversation from last night.I want to learn more about Jack's disorders and how they affec
Amber's P.O.V I look over at Violet, watching as she begins to bring herself over to the living room area.Since it's just us now, maybe I can find out more about the type of "business" that Jack had to go handle. A small breath of air escapes my lips as I force myself to go over to where Violet was now standing. I watch as she stretches her body into a relaxing position on the couch before changing the show that Jack was previously watching. I bring myself over to the chair stationed next to her before taking a seat and focusing my attention on the big screen. We both remain silent for a few moments as Violet continues to flip through the Netflix selections in search for something good to watch. "So..." I start in order to break the silence. Violet flickers her eyes over to me briefly as she continues to flip through the variety of different shows to watch. "Yeah...?" She asks, somewhat mocking my tone. I roll my eyes to mys
Amber's P.O.V Anxiety strikes my body as my eyes immediately fixate upon the large assault rifle sitting on top of a metal chest beside Zac's bed. I furrow my eyebrows together in fear as I can only imagine what other type of horrible things could be filling up his chest.Why the fuck would anyone need a gun this big?And who just leaves something like this laying out? My eyes begin to frantically scan the room, stopping as I notice a series of surveillance footage being displayed across three of his computer screens. Slowly, I walk further into the room, having my curiosity for what was being filmed take over me. I bring myself over to his desktop, having confusion flood my body as I try to make out what I was watching. On one screen there's an older woman standing in a very expensive looking kitchen as she prepares herself something to eat. The entire dining, kitchen and living space can be seen on the footage, allowing me to see who I assume to be her husband in t
Amber's P.O.V The vision of Violets almost lifeless body continues to play in my head as I can't help but dwell upon everything that I just witnessed. I should've never went inside of Zac's room. I wish they never would've left me here alone with her, because then maybe I wouldn't have been put in that situation. My eyes close shut, forcing more tears to fall as I continue to let my emotions get the best of me. I don't understand anything that I saw on those security cameras either. What were in those boxes? What was happening inside of that building? Why was there footage of a random couple inside of their home? What type of shit are the boys really involved in? My thoughts continue to wrack my brain, causing me to grow physically sick from all of my worrying. I hold my head in my hands, trying to push away all of the negativity that was now starting to consume me. Warm tears continue to trail down my face, causing me to lay my body down againstJjac
Amber's P.O.V My head begins to throb from all of the intense emotions that I have been feeling today as I force myself to face my terrifying reality. I'm living with two criminalsTwo drug addictsTwo possible killersTwo absolute strangersI'd like to think that I used to know Jack but I've realized that I never have and it seems like I never will. I don't know how I ended up here but I want out. Out of this apartment and out of this fucking relationship.I can't stand being here for a second longer. I bring my hands up to my face before slowly wiping away all of my tears while taking a deep breath. I need to figure out a way to get out of this apartment. My thoughts begin to wrack my brain as I try to think of ways to help cope with my current emotions. Maybe Jovana can help me come up with a good excuse to leave, or at least help me get my mind off of things. I miss her and I haven't talked to her in a while, I just know hearing her voice will make me feel b
Amber's P.O.V I bring myself away from the front door before slowly going over to Zac's bedroom area. I stand in front of the wooden door for several moments, just staring out at the painted wood as I try to find the confidence to go back into the space. My eyes slowly close shut and my breathing starts to hitch as I begin to prepare myself for what I may see or what may happen to me if I were to get caught. Everything is going to be okay, Jack left and Zac won't be back here for a while. Slowly, I wrap my hand around the silver door knob before taking a deep breath and pulling down on the handle. But the moment that I do I'm met with some sort of resistance, preventing me from gaining access to the space. Fuck, is his door always locked?! I throw my head back in annoyance as I allow a low groan to escape my lips. My hands pull onto the door handle a few more times before eventually relenting as I accept my fate. There has to be a key around here somewhere.
Amber's P.O.V I feel my palms shake anxiously as I focus my attention back down to Jack's door knob. My shaky hands twist the door open in order to grant me access to the space having me close the door shut immediately after. I can't believe Zac caught me while I was in his room. What if he finds out about me going through his files? What would he do if he were to know about all of the things I saw while being in there? I rub my fingers over my temples in order to relieve some stress as I begin to think about all of the possible scenarios in which could happen. Zac would surely kill me. It's obvious that he doesn't have a problem with violence and I've clearly seen too much. Maybe this is what Jack was saying that he wanted to protect me from. I still don't know the depth of the situation but from what I have seen it's clear that they are involved with something extremely dangerous. Something that I just can't understand right now. All I know is that I
Amber's P.O.V I sit on Jack's mattress with my body facing his door as I await for him to make an entrance. My leg bounces against the wooden floor in anticipation as I think about everything in which I am going to say to him. The obnoxiously loud sound of the two boys laughing from the opposite side of the wall causes me to grow even more annoyed than I already was.I wish Jack would take me more seriously.I've been trying to talk to him about this since before we ate dinner and he still hasn't even come in here. It's already worse that he's going to be high on coke during this conversation, I wish we could just get this over with . My eyes flicker down to my phone in order to check the time, seeing that it was already eight o'clock pm. I immediately go to unlock my phone before going into Jack and I's conversation in efforts to rush him and prioritize me for once.To Mine🖤: It's kind of important. A few moments after pressing send on the message the sound of the
