The Unthinkable: Amber Returns

The talk and walk away

Logan's point of view

It was 11:00am. Abby was still asleep on my bed. She already told her parents she was staying over. They seemed to be okay with it. My mum on the other hand doesn't like me and Abby sleeping in the same room. She thinks we're going to have sex because she knows what I'm like. Well I told her millions of times that I won't touch her, she doesn't believe me though. I guess she's still stuck in the past a little. I don't blame her. I guess I would be too if I knew my son was a player since 13 years old.

I look at Abby's sleeping face. She looks so peaceful. I smile at her. I love her so much. She's the best thing that's ever happened to me. I don't know what I would do if I lost her. My smile disappears when I get out my phone. I'm going to sort things out. I go to my contacts looking for Amber. She's had her number the same since year 9 up to year 11. I'm very sure she's still got the same number. I know, your wondering why I have her number? Well to be honest I forgot to delete it awhile ago. It's definitely came in handy.
I walked out of my room and press the call button waiting for it to answer.

"Hello?" She's answered on the 4th ring.

"Hi, is this Amber?"

"Speaking. Who may this be" she must of deleted my number. But she seemed different. Her voice was calm and sweet. It wasn't squeaky and annoying. not like before.

"It's Logan" there was a silence for a few minutes.

"....oh Logan! It's good to hear from you"

"Are you free today?"

"Yes, why?"

" meet me at the expresso espresso in half an hour"

"Alright. I'll see you there"

I hung up. I looked at my contacts one more time. I pressed the call button.

"Hey Logan"

"Hey Luke. I need your help"

"What's up?"

"Meet me at my place now. I'll tell you everything In the car"

"....I'll see you in 15 minutes"

I hung up putting my phone back in my pocket. I opened my room door, peaking in to see Abby was still asleep. I kissed her head before walking out. "See you later Abby"

I was just about to open the front door until my mum stopped me. "Where you off too?" My mum called out from the kitchen. " I'm going out with Luke" it was the truth but not the whole story. Mum raised her eyebrow. "To see Amber?" My mouth dropped nearly to the ground. How the hell did she know? "Mother's always know" I smile shaking my head. "I'll be careful. I just want to sort out a few things" she nodded her head giving me permission to go. I open the door and closed it.

It wasn't long until Luke came. He walked in my garden when I came out. "Oi, tell me what's going on?" I walked to my car unlocking it and getting in. Luke followed. "Amber" that was all I needed to say. "what's the problem this time?" He sounded fed up. Don't blame him. He doesn't trust Amber. "She's back. Abby and Amber already had a set two. I want to find out what she wants" Luke sighs in annoyance. I could tell he didn't want to get involve with her again. "Fine. Let's go" I started the car. I could tell he was very weary.

Amber's point of view

I waited inside the cafe. The walls were creamy, the floor were wooden, the chairs white and the tables were light brown. There were a few pictures on the wall. It Brings back memories with Luke, Logan, Jess, Jodie and Abby.
I sat down near the window. That way Logan can see me easy. I do wonder though, why would he want to talk to me? I mean I want to make it up to everyone but my main goal is Abby.

Logan's point of view

I looked at the cafe. It does bring back memories. "Logan" I looked round at Luke pointing at the window. Well that was easy finding her. Good thing she picked a table away from the window.
I opened the door. The door bell rang, telling the staff we were coming in.
Luke walked to Amber. I followed behind. "Logan, Luke it's nice to see you again" she smiled at both of us. Her eyes were glowing, her smile was wide. It was a true smile. Her smiles were always fake. Even her clothes are different. She use to wear clothes that showed everything. Now she's wearing a pink t-shirt and blue jeans.

She held her hand out to me. I just looked at it for a few minutes. I was confused to why she would hold her hand out. I kept looking at it until it clicked. She wanted to shake my hand. I slowly took her hand, shaking it. She held out her hand again to Luke but he just looked at it appalled. She hung her arm down when she realised Luke wasn't going to touch her. I thought she was going hug us both like she use too but she didn't. She's changed. Even I can see that.
"Ah, I should of guess you wouldn't forgive me that easy, Luke" she laughed nervously but sat down. We both followed her lead.

"May I help you with anything?" One of the staff asked us.
"I'll have 7 up"
"Coke please" we both didn't feel like drinking. This was serious business, we didn't want to be drunk as rats.
"I'll have coke too please" me and Luke glanced at each other with our eyebrows raised. This was weird. Amber always asked for WKD. Yes, she was 16 years old when she started drinking but because she wore make up everyone thought she was 18 years old. Now that I think about it she isn't wearing much make up. Which makes her look better looking. don't get me wrong but she looks stunning.
"So what did you want to meet for?" Amber asked curious when the staff member was gone. "You talked to Abby yesterday" I stated, she just nodded. "She told you" she wasn't asking as a question she was stating it. "Just cut to the point Logan. Why the hell are you back?" Luke's anger was building slowly. His face was angry and red. I knew he still cared for Abby, more than a friend, but we made a promise. Who ever Abby goes to will not stand in their way. Luke has kept his promise. Abby's still weary of him but I never told her that promise we made.

Amber smiled a little. She was still so calm. She would alway blow her top if Luke yelled at her. "To make it up to Abby and all of you. I feel so bad for Abby. It's all my fault on what happened to her" everything was quiet when the staff member came back. We all smiled. "How are you going to make it up to us? Abby won't even let you get close" Luke started the conversation again when the staff member was gone. "Luke that's enough" I wanted to hit his head so bad. He can be so rude at times. "Its fine. I don't mind Luke acting this way. I deserve it. But I do not know how yet" She looked so sad. She must really feel bad for what she did. "Amber, I'll help you only one time. If you truly want to make it up to Abby and all of us then come to mine and Abby's party. We been looking for a house. When we find one I'm going to ask Abby for a party. So come to it. I'll text you the times and where it is" She smiled big. She looked so great full. "Oh thank you Logan!" Luke didn't look happy. I think I'm going to be killed when we get out side those doors.

Luke's point of view

Logan is in deep trouble if Abby finds out.why the hell would he help her. I don't get it. I won't tell Abby. I'll let her find out herself but when she does know. She's going to think Logan is a betrayer.
