You weren't just a star to me. You were my whole damn sky.

Chapter 9 (who in the hell are you?)

   

                           Ambers POV

"Hello? who are you?" I aim the knife towards the unknown man.

"Woah, woah, ok. Calm down, can you tell me why you're in my daughters house?" Fuck.

"Your one of the girls father?"

"Yeah, I'm Natalie's father." I sigh in relief and lower the knife.

"I'm Amber."

"Nice to meet you Amber. Why are you in my daughters house?" I hear the front door open and the smell of my mates makes me relax a bit.

"I-

"Amber we're home!" I hear Nat yell closing the door

"Im in here Nat!"

Natalie walks in through the kitchen, Rose following closely behind her. I see their eyes scan over the kitchen then Roses eyes meet mine. She sees Nat's father and taps Nat's shoulder to get her attention.

"Natalie, why's you father here?" Nat's head snaps towards me and she freezes. She looks down to the knife in my hands then back to me.

"Baby, I'm going to need you to put down the knife. You're ok, we're here." Nat says slowly walking towards me. Once she reaches me she reaches down grabbing onto the handle of the knife but keeping her eyes on mine the whole time.

"That's it, you're ok, I know it must have been scary but we're here now and we would never let anything happen to you." She says leaning down to my level and looking me directly in the eyes. I nod agreeing. She places her hand in mine and the sparks come back making my whole body un clench.

"Im so very confused?" Nat's dad says and only now am I realizing the heavy Italian accent.

"Dad, this is Amber, my light, this is my dad." She introduces keeping her eyes on mine but moving a little bit so that i could see him.

"Natalie, che diavolo sta succedendo?" Nat's dad says in Italian. I mean I would like to know the answer to that question as well.

(Natalie, what in the hell's going on?)

"Dad id like for you to meet me second mate." Natalie says trying to gage his reaction. I don't like this.

"Hey, I'm sorry for interrupting but I'm just going to take Amber for a little bit while you guys talk this out ok?" Before even getting their answer, Roses pulling me out the room.

"Come on let's go to our room." I nod and we both start walking up the stairs. I don't think I realized how tense I was while in there.

"Come here, let's just lay down and relax for a bit yeah?" I nod and she pulls me to the bed and I lay myself down right next to her with my head on her chest.

"That was scary." I say after a few moments of silence.

"I know it was my love, are you ok now though?" She asks stroking my hair and down my back.

"I think so?" She nods and it goes back to being quiet.

"Do you think we should go check if he left?" I ask sitting up.

"Yeah, then we can eat all the delicious food you made." She said kissing my shoulder and making me blush.

We walk back downstairs in time for the front door to slam open again and an older women to come barging in. I jump and Rosalie comes and pulls me close to her chest while tucking my head right into her boobs. She's got nice boobs.

"NATALIE!!!!!" I start shaking, I really hate yelling.

"R-rose, I don't want to be here anymore." I say and feel tears gathering in my eyes.

"Ok, ok let go back up to the room."

She leads us back up to the room and then tells me she has to leave again. After a little bit of me arguing I finally let her go. At this point I'm now balling.

I get up and go to the closet. It smells like them. I hear all the people start yelling at each other until Rose finally yells louder than all of them.

"ENOUGH, MY MATE IS UPSTAIRS, SXARED OUT OF GER MIND BECAUSE OF YOUR YELLING!!! All her wanted to do was make us a good dinner and get to know us, now she's damn well near having a panic attack! Either sort this out in a civil way or take it somewhere else!" Then I hear stomping coming up the stairs, she's mad. This isn't good.

"Amber, baby?" Rose calls out in a soft tone.

"I-in h-he-here." Rose walks in and sees me on the floor. She comes and sits next to me then pulls me close.

"I-I don't l-like ye-yelling." I tell her while sobbing.

"I know and it won't happen again I promise." She reassures kissing my head. I hear another pair of footsteps coming up the stairs. Nat.

"Amber, Rosalie?"

"In here Natalie." Rose calls out trying not to yell. Nat walks in and sees us cuddled up on the ground.

"My parents are here but I think you already know that. Do you mind if they eat here with us? If not then I'll just send them home it's not that big of a deal." I don't like this. I really don't like this.

"Ca-can I use y-our phone pl-please?" Nat reaches into her pocket and pulls out her iPhone. She puts in the password and hands it to me.

I dial the phone number that I have, over the years memorized. After 3 rings I hear the voice I've been wanting to hear for a while.

"Hello?"

"Lexi?"

"Amber. How are you? How's it like being with your mates?"

"I-it's good. T-they want to know if I'm ok with eating with one of their parents. I, I don't know." He always knows what to do in these situations. He's good at these types of things.

"Stone, I can't tell you what to do but I can tell you, they're you mates, they won't let anyone hurt you, they physically can't. If you think you can, then at least try. I've known you since we were babies, you already have the answer to the question you're asking me you just need reassurance. Follow you gut Amber, that's always what you've done and look at you now." I rest my case.

"Thanks Lexi, I'll call you soon?"

"I'll be counting on it." With that we hand up. I hand the phone back to Nat and get up.

"If we're going to do this then let's do it before I loose this wave of courage I have." They both chuckle and walk with me down.

"If it becomes to much, you say the word and they're outta here ok?" I nod and we walk into the dinning room where Nat's father and I'm assuming mother are sitting. This should be interesting.

"I'm going to go get the food." I whisper to Rose and walk to the kitchen. I start bringing food in from the kitchen into the dinning room while the rest sit around and talk.

"What can I do to help?" Nat asks coming up behind me. I don't answer I just turn around and hug her. I think that's answer enough.

Nat doesn't comment or anything on this. She just lets me hug her and she pulls me as close as she possibly can. We stay like this for a few minutes until I reluctantly pull away because people are waiting for dinner.

"Can you grab that and bring it in please?" Nat nods and grabs the Greek salad.

After bringing everything in I finally sit down. I keep my head down so that I'm not looking at Nat's parents. We all start piling food  onto our plates.

"So, Amber tell us about yourself." The women with a strong Spanish accent says more than asks.
