Twisted

Chapter 10:Damn Dinner

Daniel's POV

Wait?! What did I say again?
I was still stupidly standing in the middle of the deserted parking lot trying to trying to remember what I have said that made Amber angry.

Well you're being a stubborn bitch now. Blake was right you are insufferable!

Ugh! Now I remember! Can my mouth stop for once?! Saying words that didn't even process in my mind. How can I solve this problem now?

I've been pacing around the room back and forth just waiting to burn a hole underneath me and swallow me whole just to forget about all my stupidity. I've been thinking about different plans to make this all right.

"Daniel?" Mom shouted from downstairs.
"Yeah?" I asked reluctantly. Not finding the descent reason not to leave this room.
"Can you come down a second sweety?" Mom asked with her soft voice.
"Okay mom." I answered.

I went downstairs just to meet the pair of blue eyes I've been thinking all day. The pair of eyes that I've hurt. Amber.

Amber's POV

I was staring up the ceiling when my mom called out for me.

"Amber honey,we need you to be ready for our formal dinner with your father's colleague." Mom shouted from downstairs.
"Okay mom." I sighed rather loudly for her to hear.

For some odd reason my parents were home. But I knew they were home because of some extravagant party to attent to or some fancy dinner. And apparently my hunch was right. Nathan couldn't come to this nonsense because he haven't been home since yesterday,and I don't know the reason why. I'll just call him later. Nathan doesn't like me to know his personal business that's why we somehow drifted apart from each other.

Getting into my black and white knee-length dress with my black pumps. I worked on my make-up,since I wasn't fan of having caked-up face, I made my make-up simple with eyeliner,maskara,and lip gloss. Putting on my white pearl earrings,I strode towards my parents not bothering to bring my phone or my other necessities.

The ride through the unknown destination was filled with silence. It wasn't awkward neither it was comfortable so I don't know how to explain it. But after a long 30-minute silence,we were finally at our destination. Gosh I wish Nathan was here to endure this dinner with me. I want Nathan with me in times like these 'cause sometimes we're the only young adults at the event,there maybe some but they are too coped up with their own problems in life-social life to be exact.

I looked out through the window of the car as it parked in the curb of a fancy looking fountain in the middle. Why do I feel like these were the clichèd houses with a perfect looking family but in reality they're broken and filled with endless abyss? Eh?!

I got out off my personal train of thoughts as someone opened the door. A familiar looking fave of a middle aged woman,but for some unknown reason I can't put a finger onto it. Don't get too attached to the idea Amber,it's just a woman for God's sake!

But I was then cut off wuth my inner debate, when someone walked down the stairs. And it was none other than Daniel Collins. That's why the woman was so familiar by sight.

Well atleast this dinner will be different from the others I've attended,'cause I know this will be filled with intense silence,scorching hatred,and awkwardness.

Time to endure yet another drama in life.
Buckle up everyone this is going to be a long night.
