The Guy Next Door

My Day Can't Get Worse

Amber's POV
"Let it all out," my mom says calmly as she holds my hair away from my face. My head is inside a trash can throwing up the breakfast I ate just a few hours ago. This day can't get any worse. " I'll get you some water". My mom smiles leaving me alone besides the small trash can full of puke. I told her I was pregnant about a week after Jason left because I felt so alone. She cursed and threw a few things but besides that the conversation went pretty ok. Things have definitely been getting better between us since. Everything is starting to lighten up after weeks of crying about Jason just leaving me. I hate him. No. Well I wish I could because then this would all be so much easier. But the obvious truth is that I love him so much until it hurts and he doesn't give a shit about me. As the hormones start to take over and I'm about to go into a deep cry, I hear a familiar voice. " Thank you so much dear, is your daughter Amber here?" I know I've heard the voice before but I can't seem to trace it back to anyone so I slowly get up from the trash and go downstairs. As I approach the front door I see someone unexpected. Jason's mother. What could she possibly be doing here? Why was she looking for me? Was this Jason's cowardly way of saying we're done? God I hate him. "Hello Amber. It's been so long since the last time I saw you", she says with a fake smile. I can feel the hormones trying to take control which makes me just want to snap at her and tell her to cut the crap because this nice act was definitely bullshit. When I was younger and Jason would come over to family barbecues with his mom and she would always pull me aside and tell me that I would never be worthy of her son so "to not try it". However as much as I hate her I can't stop wondering why she is even here. "Yes it has been a long time. What brings you around?" She scrambles into her purse looking for something, exactly what it is she's looking for I honestly don't know. But then she takes out a little envelope and hands it to me. "Jason wanted me to invite you to our family gala coming up this weekend in Boston. It'll be at the catering hall written there." She says pointing at the small address at the top of the corner. "Oh and you can bring a plus one of course.. well it's actually highly recommended", she winks. God take me now. "Sure, I'll see if I can make time". I don't want to go though. I can't face Jason, I haven't even told him that I'm pregnant. " It's not like you have anything better to do," she says letting out a little laugh as she makes her way off my porch. And I actually thought that my day couldn't get worse. Lol.

Ok so I am going to start writing little notes at the bottom of each chapter from now on. & oh you guys have probably been wondering what Amber and Jason look like so I imagine Jason as Dean Greyer and Amber as Mila Kunis. SOO HOTT, I KNOWW! But yea , Amber and Jason are clearly meant to be but they're young and stupid. Also I'm getting tired of how things are right now on the book so I'll definitely be adding a special someone for Amber. Wink Wink ;)
