Amber's POV:

I lay in bed, staring up at the ceiling in my pajamas. Dropping Reid and Topaz off at my Dad's sister's house, Aunt Lydia's house, was so, so hard but there is no way I could take them on the tour to America.

Reid cried when we got there. Topaz was sleeping. I cried too. Aunty Lydia went on and on about how much fun Reid would have with her, her cocky husband and their ten year old, my cousin Martin, that I've never spoken to before- leaving them at Aunty Lydia's was Dad's idea, anyways.

Oh, yeah- Danielle let me come on the tour. I think she's almost gotten over it, or maybe Pel had something to do with it but I'll never know as after what happened between us that night, he just left the next morning. Back to his flat.

And I haven't talked to him since. I think it's the best thing for the both of us, though.

The door opens and Gina walks straight through and lies down next to me.

She's been staying with me for a week now. She's coming on the tour with me tomorrow morning and we're both not too excited for it.

"Don't worry about Reid and To. They'll be fine.." She sighs, holding her phone up in front of her face. "It's only two weeks."

"Thanks, G.....it's just being so far away from them....Topaz is only three months old." I say, touching her golden plait with my fingers. "You're so, so pretty-"

"No, I'm not, but thanks boo." Gina says, locking her phone before shoving it in the pocket of her jeans. "We should go out for dinner."

I sigh.

"You're so boring." Gina laughs, turning round to face me. "Maybe it's because I'm a model. I was just in France, jumping off boats and clubbing every night."

"You make me so jealous." I moan.

Gina laughs.

"And I've got a gorgeous French boyfriend now....Clement." She laughs.

"Do you even speak the same language?" I laugh, sitting up.

"Oui. Je parle francais.......un petit peu-"

"Shut up, Gina...." I say, playfully as my phone buzzes. I pick it up from the bedside table. "You've had like ten boyfriends in the last four months. And how often do you even go to....."

My voice trails off when I realize the text is from Pel.

"What?" Gina says, sitting up as well.

She puts her arms around my neck and peers over at the text.

"We need to talk. Will you answer my calls?" Gina reads. "He's such a f**king b-"

"Whatever..." I say, tossing my phone to the other side of the bed.

Every time I think about him and everything that has happened, I feel like I might cry.

"Amber..." Gina says, getting up and pulling me up. "Come on, sis....don't do this."

I sniff as my hands fly up to wipe my tears.

"You can call him if you want too." She whispers. "You don't have to pretend like you hate him."

"Gina, I'm going to kill myself, tomorrow..." I say, hyperventilating. Gina pulls me into a hug. "How am I supposed to do this? See him with her for two weeks?"

Gina rubs my back.

"You have to stop this, Amber..." Gina says, letting go of me then wiping my tears.
