Whats Your Favorite Scary Movie [TAMBER] Scream 5-6

Chapter 15 (arguments)

>Amber's POV<

We had one more night at our original camp spot before heading home. My parents wanted me back and I had to say bye to Tara.

I missed our little group vacation already. The amount of freedom we had, it was like nobody in this world except for the 5 of us existed, and when I would lay down with Tara in my arms I felt like I could stay there forever.

I made it to my house and greeted my parents.

"So, did you have fun?" They my mom said.

"Yeah." I said in a low tone, still sad about having to come back.

My dad left after saying hello. He wasn't happy about how long I was gone and how my stay extended beyond what I asked for.

At 7 p.m., dinner was ready, and I sat at the table with my parents. My father sat at the head of the table while my mom and I were on either side, and we dug in silently.

"So, um, what did you do on the trip?" My mom said, attempting to break the silence.

"Surfed, watched movies, slept, hiked-"

"So anything but a phone call." My dad said, giving me a hard glare.

"I'm... sorry, I was having so much fun. I was barely on my phone -"

"It takes two seconds to call." He said.

"Michael-"

"Well, you don't have to be a dick about it!" I yelled.

"Amber!" My mom said.

"What did you just say to me?" My dad asked.

"You heard exactly what I said."

"Amber, apologize to your father."

"No! Okay, no!" I yelled.

They stared at me in awe.

"God, for the past few days, I've been the happiest ever in my life. Then I come back here to this prison cell to be interrogated over a phone call." I said.

"Do you realize what happened to you, Amber?" My dad said, slamming his utensil.

"Yeah, because it happened to all my girlfriend and all my friends too! So maybe I just wanna be around people who GET IT so we can cope instead of holing me up in this house!" I said.

"Amber, I think your father -"

"I think I'm done here. Goodnight." I said, getting up from the table.

"Amber, honey." My mom pleaded.

"The food was delicious, mama, thank you."

I walked upstairs and went into my room. I didn't wanna be here. At all.

I could hear my parents having a slightly heated discussion downstairs. I'm not blaming myself. I'm blaming my dad.

Just then, I got a text from Tara.

{Tara: Hey Betty Boop🤗🌹❤️❤️}

I smiled at my phone and texted back.

{Me: Hey baby🥹}

{Tara: I know it's only been a few hours, but I miss you🥺wyd🥰}

{Me: I miss you too💙I'm juss laying in bed, finished dinner}

{Tara: How was dinner?}

{Me: food 10/10. Dad tho<<<<😑}

{Tara: awwe he gave you a hard time☹️☹️}

{Me: Yeah, I'll be ok, tho🙃}

{Tara: im sorry babes, you don't deserve that😐}

{Me: Don't be sorry, we had a great time camping}

>Mindy messaged the group chat<

{Mindy: anybody else extremely depressed about being home☠️}

{Liv: I thought it was just me}

{Me: Nope, not just you guys🌚}

{Chad: it's the lack of freedom🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️}

{Me: exactly}

{Tara: Sam is barely letting breathe air past the doorstep alone😑}

{Me: smh}

{Mindy: Like, I get what they're tryna do but like... just doing too much}

{Liv: right🙄}

{Me: Honestly, if anything were to happen again, it's not like they're stopping anything. We just have to know how to defend ourselves}

{Liv: we should go to the gym together LMAOO😂😂😂}

{Mindy: LOL right, I need to💀💀}

{Me: Chad's the only one who's ripped🌚}

{Chad:🤣🤣🤣}

{Mindy: That's because he's blessed, plus the gym a little-👩‍💻}

{Chad: Mhm lil hater😒😆}

{Mindy:😂😂😂😂}

There was a knock at my room door. "It's dad."

"Come in." I said, still angry.

I sat at the foot of my bed, and he sat next to me.

"I'm sorry." He said.

"What?" I replied.

The apology caught me off guard.

"I'm sorry for how I've been with you. I've been hovering and rude, and I know it's annoying. I'm just trying to protect you." He said.

"I know, dad." I said.

He nodded.

"I'm sorry for calling you a dick." I added.

"Yeah, how often do you use that word?" He asked.

"That's not important, don't make me retract my apology." I smirked.

He put his hands up. "Fine, fine, fine."

He hugged me and then kissed my head before looking at me.

"I know Tara makes you happy." He said. "If you really don't want to be here all the time then, if Tara is OK with it, you can stay with her a while."

"Really!?" I asked excitedly.

"Really." He said with a smile.

"Thank you!" I exclaimed before hugging him.

I packed a bag and made it over to Tara's in no time. I wanted to surprise her. I went to ring the doorbell.

"Who is it?" I heard Tara ask.

"Pizza delivery." I replied.

She opened the door and hugged me immediately?

"You're back!!" She said.

"I'm back." I smirked.

"You have no pizza." She squinted and frowned.

I laughed and said, "I have the money to order some."

"Yesss." She said.

I settled in the house after ordering the pizza, and we ate at the table and cleaned our mess.

After dinner, I went upstairs to Tara's room with her, and we laid down together talking about our trip.

"I literally can't wait to do that again." Tara gushed.

"Right, we have a great group of friends."

"Yeah, we do." She said.

We laid down under a few covers and switched on some cartoons, we watched for at least an hour before falling asleep. I was back in my happy place. Next to my person.
