The next morning, Amber woke up to the sound of chirping birds. Amber quietly stood from her bed, and walked to the bathroom and took a warm shower and brushed her teeth. When she got out and dressed her self, she noticed that the 2 story house was silent. No sound of pans and plates moving, and no smell of breakfast. She went looking for Sandy, but she was m.i.a. Sandy usually left Amber a note when she left.
"Where did she go? Why she aint leave a note, or something?" Amber said to her self.
After 2 episodes of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta, Amber heard the door open and keys moving down stairs. Amber assumed it was Sandy. When she went down stairs, she found her aunt, Crystal come in.
"Hey Crys!" Amber said excitedly.
"Hey baby girl! Whats going on?" Crystal smiled.
She gave Amber a hug, and when she pulled away she saw something on Amber's face. Crystal lifted Amber's chin to reassure her self about what she saw. There was a thick, swollen mark on her face.
"Who the hell did that to yo face?!?!" Crystal yelled.
Amber stayed silent. "Answer me! Oooo if it was that crazy biatch... she gonna make me go ghetto on her ass!" Crystal put down her purse and sat Amber down.
"Don't lie to me. Who did this to you?"
"Sandy hit me with her belt." Amber answered.
"Why?" Crystal looked conserned.
"I aint do the dishes 'cuz i was doing my homework."
"How long she been doing this?" Crystal stood up.
"Two weeks ago since daddy died."
"Pack yo clothes you coming with me. Now."
Amber rushed to pack her things. Crystal waited in the house until Sandy came home. Amber became a little scared, and didnt know what was going to happen.
"Im done." Amber said.
"Did you pack everything?"
"As much stuff that can fit." Amber put her luggage down stairs.
"Well take garbage bags and pack everything then."
After Amber finished packing, Crystal loaded her car with Amber's belongings.
"What are you doing?" Amber asked.
"You coming to live with me. You think yo parents want u to live like this?"
"No." Amber said.
Everything was going so fast that Amber was confused. She didnt know what to do. She just had to trust her aunty.
"Let's go inside." Crystal said walking inside the house.
"What you doing?" Amber said in confusion.
"Umm... sweetheart.We're leaving here with a Bang!"
