Troublemaker

31. SELF-RECRIMINATION

They say love can drive you mad. But is it love or obsession? Loving someone is when you want the best for them, even if it hurts you, but obsessing over someone is when you want them for the best of you.

Amber continued to make sure the scene looked as if Jayce and Ashton were both there. She had taken Ashton's lighter as well, when she and Jaxon were sitting under the tree.

Her murders were not stopping there.

She bent down and took some soil, applying it on Jayce's hoodie, which she was wearing. She put it at the back and at the front of the cloth, making sure they were rubbed in entirely.

Amber had committed a crime, and it was all for Jayce to be responsible for.

She turned around and walked past through the tree when she accidentally hit one of the twigs with her head and tripped. She groaned in annoyance while looking back at the hanging twig that had broken, still on the branch.

"Stupid twig crap," she stood up, and fixed herself before going back to the school

She ran towards the back wall, and from the distance, she saw firefighters already going to the cell tower, and trying to extinguish it.

She gave off a small scowl before going inside the school, and heading to the dorm buildings, hoping Jayce and Ashton wouldn't see her just entering the dorm by that time.

~~~

"I'll check on Amber first," Jayce said, stepping out of the car, "If she still needs time, is it fine if I stay at your place?"

Ashton flustered at first, then nodded, "Yeah sure, but why don't we just go to my house?"

"If Amber needs anything, it would be hard if we're far away," she replied, then proceeded to go inside the dorm building, going upstairs.

Amber, on the other hand, had gone up quickly as well, into the dorm, and putting the hoodie in Jayce's cabinet. She then continued to go under the covers of her bed and face the wall.

A knock was then heard on the dorm door. Jayce stepped in the dorm, seeing Amber under the covers, while Ashton waited outside.

"You good?" she asked.

The younger twin gave out a whimper, "Just please leave me be,"

"You want to eat something? Drink something? Need anything?" she asked back.

"No,"

Jayce pursed her lips, "Okay, if you need anything-"

"Just leave!" Amber spoke louder, sadness heard in her voice.

"Okay," she replied, nodding, "I'll be in Ash's dorm if you need anything,"

The older twin walked out of the dorm and saw Ashton there, with a thin smile planted on him.

"Let's get to your dorm,"

~~~

"Do you need anything?" Ashton asked, as he entered the dorm.

"No," Jayce replied, taking off his coat and lending it to him, "Thanks for your coat, by the way,"

"Yep, anytime," he noticed Jaxon's room that was still open.

He walked over and closed the room.

"Like you said, president," he replied, stepping away from the door, "Hands off the case,"

She gave a thin smile. Another door was also seen near Jaxon's room. Eric's. It was closed off completely.

"Hands off the case," she replied.
