The little crush

Chapter 2

Amber muttered, her palm cupped over her mouth, "No, it cannot be," still stunned by what had just happened. Following this, she was unsure how to respond: should she rush outside to call Krystal and pull her back, or should she simply leave the area and pretend nothing had happened?

Amber realizes she can not just walk away from this; she can not act as if nothing happened. She is well aware that if Krystal tells them she has a boyfriend, she will be unable to receive the injection. Amber could only turn around and leave, saying nothing more about it.

"I am home," Amber said, wiping away her tears and tossing her air Jordan aside.

"Oh, you have come back!" Victoria approached Amber's purse with a big smile on her face. "Come join us; I made a lot of food because I am afraid you and Krystal will still be hungry when you get back."

Amber entered her room with a nod. Sulli arched an eyebrow, sensing that something was off and that it had something to do with Krystal.

"Why did not Krystal come home with Amber if she went looking for her?" Sulli was thinking as she nibbled on her chopsticks.

"Sul? "You know your noodles are falling everywhere. Sulli came to after Luna screamed and cleared the mess from the table. She dashes inside the bedroom, dropping her chopsticks.

"Where are you going?" Luna inquired, frowning, but Sulli turned her away.

All she has to do now is find out what happened while Amber was gone and why Krystal did not follow her. Sulli approached Amber, who was lying on the bed, her covers covering her face, and realized she had not locked the bedroom door.

"I am not hungry," she explained, refusing to remove the blankets covering her face.

"Ber, that isn't the point. What precisely took place? Why didn't Krys accompany you home?" Sulli patted Amber's body, presumably her legs.

"Alright, nothing happened." She murmured, sensing that tears were about to spill, "Now go back to your dinner; I'm fine here; I won't die here alone."

With a sigh, Sulli took a seat on the floor beside the bed. "Ber, you know I'm always here, right?"

Sulli sensed Amber's movement and assumed she was nodding. 

"So tell me about it; don't leave me here doing wild guesses, please."

Amber moaned and sat up, pushing the blanket away from her face and rubbing it in annoyance. She had no idea why she felt the need to pull Krystal away from him and smack him where it hurt the most.

"She was hugging a guy," she explained coolly. She remarked, "I really wanted to hit him where it hurts, but I can not seem to." I know that if I did, Krys would get mad at me and either hate me or stop talking to me. Sul, it hurts so much."

With a sigh, Sulli pulled her into an embrace. "Ber, you can cry if you need to; I am here to support you."

Amber felt Sulli's back rub to help her let go of it.

Is this what you would call love? Isn't love sweet and pleasant? "Why am I hurting so badly right now?" Sulli let out a sigh and asked Amber.

"I am not sure, Ber. I am sorry. I have never experienced love. I would have told you if I had known." Amber gave her a tighter hug, which caused Sulli to smile.

"As long as she is letting it out and not hiding it, I am fine with it," Sulli scowled.

"Are you familiar with that man?"

Amber shook her head erratically.

"He has his cap pulled down, making it hard for me to recognise who he is." Amber jerked away from the hug, wiping away her tears.

"But do not worry, I am sure everything will be resolved shortly. It will take some time, but I will be alright." Grinning, she got off the bed.

"Let us go eat our dinner now, baby Sul. You have to eat to grow." With a laugh, she picked Sulli up off the floor.

"But your eyes, Ber!" Sulli shot back, stopping Amber's advance toward the door. Amber put her hands on Sulli's shoulder and shook her head.

It is alright. They will not notice, I promise if you just tell them that I was watching my drama when you came in."

Sulli sighed in agreement. "Alright," she complained, and Amber chuckled while pushing her into the living room.

"Now, without me, the party does not start!" Amber screamed.
