(Amber's POV) 

In my whole life, I've never cried that much. 

It's like I vomited all of the toxics that I've kept for many years. 

It's painful... 

It's very painful... 

All of the memories flashed back on me. 

This is pathetic! 

I couldn't believe that I'm crying this hard. 

And what's more unbelievable is the fact that I am crying on someone's shoulder... 

And not just someone... 

But CYRUS. 

The guy that I never thought to be here with me at this moment.

"That was a big rain." He said as he kneels in front of me. 

He's looking at me and helps me wipe off my tears as I sit on a bench, 

"Know what? I want to punch you straight to your nose."I said as I demonstrate it. 

He chuckled. 

Wait... 

That smile... 

He... 

He... 

Smiled? 

I am shocked for a moment. 

"What?" he asked erasing his smile. 

I shook my head and he looked away. 

He sits beside me. 

Silence conquered the place, again. 

The sea breeze could be heard here. 

It's relaxing. 

"You've known so much about me; you must be so happy. You've got too much to announce." I said. 

"Of course! The Bulletin Board is always available." He said laughing. 

"Don't bother about it. I'm quitting school, anyway." I said. 

He stopped laughing and looked at me.  

"I'll be applying for some part-time jobs for Andy's medical expenses." I said. 

"Job?" 

"Yeah." 

"Don't quit. I'll give you job." He said. 

"Ha? What kind of job?" 

"You'll know soon. Just don't quit school." He said surly. 

What kind of job is this jerk talking about? 

*** 

"I'm sorry, Sir. I don't know." Joan answered as she combs her hair. 

Our nerdy instructor continued discussing though it's obvious that no one listens. 

It's just a boring school day again. 

Suddenly, an old man wearing a gray suit entered the room. 

His bodyguards followed him inside too.  

The whole class fell into silence. 

Okay, they've got everyone's attention. 

Even me... my attention, I mean. 

I took off my earphone. Then small music from it came out. 

The old man searched for someone in our room by looking. 

A gang lord?  

Suddenly, someone stood up, getting everyone's attention too. 

Dark-brown hair, blue eyes... 

"Where is she?" the old man asked.  

"Why are you here?" Cyrus asked annoyed. 

"I wanna meet her. Take her to the car." He replied and left with his guards.
