it wasn't often did amber have a bad episode. it was most certainly rare, and she only had them when she was severely stressed and sleep deprived. that was when the voices loved to come out and mess with her.

she didn't exactly know what she had, as her parents have hidden that from her her whole life, but she knew it wasn't normal. they went as far as taking off the labels from her medication all so she wouldn't know, and it was torture. every single day she has to deal with these horrible hallucinations and voices, and she doesn't know how to help herself other than taking her meds.

now when she was younger and she had a bad episode, her parents would tie her arms and legs together and throw her in a closet till she calmed down, but as she got older, and they left more frequently, she dealt with them all alone. in which, oftentimes left her in the hospital.

sometimes they convince her to do the most horrible things and she can't stop it. she hates it.

they convince her not to take her meds, they convince her that her friends are out to get her, and they convince her to even hurt herself sometimes.

her only rock through all of this has been tara.

her sweet, lovely girlfriend, tara.

tara was the most beautiful girl amber has ever laid eyes on, and is lucky enough to call her's. she's quite literally one of the kindest people amber's ever met, and she's so understanding of everything. amber was absolutely in love with her.

amber was very- very- skeptical of starting a relationship with her, especially with whatever she has, but somehow tara convinced her.

tara seemed to always do that, but amber loved it. she loved her.

she was the only person amber's ever told everything to, and the only person who knows about amber's problem.

"is it like... schizophrenia or something?" tara asked.

"i don't know." amber shrugged. "my parents don't want me to know."

"why? that's so dumb."

"yeah... i think they don't want to accept the fact that they don't have a perfect daughter, but whatever. it doesn't matter."

since amber began dating tara, her bad episodes have decreased a lot, but of course, they still happen.

like today.

amber had never hosted anything at her house, and she never wanted to. her house was only filled with horrors and sadness, and definitely couldn't be a place to host a get together but here she is.

setting up for a small get together.

tara, chad, and mindy ganged up on her until she agreed to host it because they had nowhere else, and her parents were gone anyways so it didn't matter.

the only problem was, amber definitely didn't sleep last night, and she hadn't taken any meds since yesterday morning...she hopes she will be okay.

she didn't know why she continuously let them mess with her, and make her think someone poisoned her meds but it's fine. she'll be fine.

hopefully.

after everything was set up, mindy, chad, and liv arrived first. they brought some snacks and board games which was good because amber was worried they would be bored.

"hey, freeman." chad greeted, "what's up?"

"hi." amber responded.

"ever a woman of a few words. i like that." mindy looked amber up and down.
