unexpected love [ TAMBER STORY ]

all i wanted was you

AMBERS POV;

I woke up. my hair was tangled, my eyes stung, and my pillow was damp.

I forgot what happened for a good minute until it came to me. what happened with Tara? after everything we've been through, she just leaves. how would I ever come to see her again? I was so selfish just because I was jealous of a boy who has a crush on her.

why?

we weren't even dating. and I was jealous.

my mind kept racing with the possible things that could've happened, did they kiss? or did they just talk? they could've done so much more than just kiss. I didn't understand why this happened.

I shake my head, trying to get all the thoughts out of my brain. as I calmed down, I grabbed my very cracked phone on my nightstand, looking at my lock screen. I had seventeen notifications, all of which were from Tara. As I swiped through the texts she's given me, I exhale. I knew she was upset at me. my eyes flickered over our messages until I got to a certain one. it caught me off, guard.

T💜;

Ambs, please answer.

are you okay? you haven't answered me.

Ambs, I have to tell you something today at school.

I'm sorry if I made you upset.

I was terrified.

she had to tell me something today at school, what did that mean?

was she dropping me? was she about to confront me about what we did? Was she going to embarrass me in front of all of my friends about me liking girls? what the fuck was this girl going to do to me.

I arrived at school and held onto my cracked phone tightly as I walked inside, where the friends normally sat. once I arrived; I saw Wes and Tara cuddling, I froze, my stomach dropping.

I noticed Tara's eyes avert from the ground to me, closing her eyes as she shook her head. it was almost like she couldn't make eye contact with me. it hurt. I inhaled deeply and continued walking to the table.

everyone's eyes averted toward me. I waved awkwardly.

''amber, hey! '' Mindy smiled at me.

nobody else greeted me. everybody just looked at me.

I sat on the bench, putting my elbow on the table and resting my face on my hand. I look up at Tara, who was on the other side of the table, she looked uncomfortable.

''Tara. can we talk? ''I fully lifted my head, nodding at Tara as I give her a half smile.

as soon as Tara nodded, I stood up, waiting for her to stand before I walked off to a more private area.

We made it to the back of the building, I stopped and looked down at her, raising a brow. ''what'd you want to talk to me about? '' I asked her, tapping my foot. ''I and Wes are...a thing. '' she looked down at the floor. ''I guess. '' she added on. ''I know. I figured. '' I rake my hands through my hair, still looking down at Tara. ''I don't like him like that. I just didn't want to ruin our friendship. '' she gulps as she waited for my response. ''I understand.'' I turned around, starting to head back to the main table. I flinched as I felt arms wrap around my waist. I knew it was Tara, who else could it be? ''I'm sorry,'' Tara muttered very, very softly into my ear. I closed my eyes and didn't say a word, looking down at my feet. Tara let her arms leave my waist before I turned around and met eyes with her. ''it's fine. I know why you did it.'' I shrugged, continuing to walk back to the benches.

once I arrived, I sat back down in my original spot, this time I laid both of my arms on the table, laying my head on them. my arms were like a pillow.

I began to drift into slumber until I heard Tara's adorable giggling. Before I perked my head up to look at them, I heard Wes laugh obnoxiously, in my opinion. I lifted my head, letting my eyes adjust to the bright sunlight before looking at the two laughing. I looked directly at Tara and her pupils fluttered over to meet my eyes.

Tara gave me a half smile, tilting her head as she did so. god damnit, I hate how pretty she was. my eyes seemed to get lost in hers, again, for what seemed to be seventeen centuries. until Mindy, My best friend, snapped her fingers in front of my face. I flinched as she did so, looking at her fingers.

I grunted and stood up, my knees were wobbly, and I felt like I was going to collapse, right there and then. But I ignored it and turned. I started to walk away, but every now and then I turned my head to look at the group on the bench, everybody but Tara paying g attention to me leaving.

I looked over once again, just to see Wes kissing Tara.

once they broke apart, Wes looked over at me and smirked. I hissed between my teeth and turned back around. I continued to walk to my car.

I made it to my car. as soon as I was inside and situated, my head fell on the steering wheel. tears streamed down my face almost immediately.

why was this happening to me?

what the fuck did I do to deserve this?

Didn't she JUST confess about loving me? Didn't we kiss? And she just acted like it was nothing.

as I drove, my eyes blurred out almost completely. I leaned back in my seat and my leg stepped harder on the gas pedal. tears were now like a waterfall as they fell from my eyes. It's gotten to the point where I couldn't see anything but blobs and blurs. my foot kept pressing down on the gas pedal harder and harder.

my eye twitched as I continued driving. I didn't care what happened to me right now. I just wanted to be happy.

I was driving as fast as my car could go. My phone rang, but I didn't even glance at it. I kept my blurred eyes on the road.

I wiped my tears, clearing my vision; doing this revealed a car speeding across from me, if I didn't stop, I would hit it.

I inhale sharply.
