Chapter 12

I was jamming out to some oldies of The Drifters but that all went away when there was a knock on the door.

I turned the volume down then I opened the door and there stood a couple with surprised expressions on their faces.

"How may I help you?" I asked as I wondered what was going through their head. The lady's eyes began to tear up and her-seems-to-be husband held her tightly as his weak smile began to form into a sad frown.

"Amberly?" The lady asked as she began to sob. I still couldn't understand what was going on. "Yes?" I said as I stepped out of my house and closed the door behind me. "We found you!" They both said as they pulled me into a hug. Okay what the hell is going on?!

"You found me?" I said as I pulled away from them. "Honey, we've been looking for you for over sixteen years!" The lady said as she sobbed into her husbands chest. "Why have you been looking for me?" I said as I put my hand on her shoulder and began to rub, to make her feel comfortable and stop crying. "You're our daughter!" She said as she cried more. Daughter? What is she talking about? I think she took a pill in Ibiza cause I'm not her daughter.

"What?" I said as I felt a heavy weight on my chest as I heard the door swing open behind me and it was my mother.

"What are you doing here?!" My mom said as she grabbed my hand and pulled me inside. "We came for Amberly!" The man said as my mum's hands crunched into a fist. "After sixteen year?!" She yelled as their faces went into anger. "Yeah, I don't think so."

What? My mum knows them? Hold up what! So they have been looking for me, for sixteen years? Wait what?! I'm so confused. Who are these people??

"You took her from us!" The lady shouted as she pointed her fingers in my mum's face. She took me from them?

"I did not!" My mum shouted as she looked back at me. Her eyes were wide. Her arms were shaking. She looked nervous.

"Why do they say they're my parents?" I asked as I looked at the desperate couple. "Because we are." The man said as he put his hand on my shoulder. I stepped out my house once again.

"Mum?" I said as she looked down, her eyes began to tear up and her hand began to shake. So I knew ... they are my parents. But how?

"Are they my real parents-

"Ms Harris, wake up." Mrs. Ulloa said as she shook me awake. Sleeping again in art class. "Sorry." I yawned as I rubbed my eyes and looked up at the whiteboard.

"Sleepy there?" Said a voice behind me. It was Jeremih. "Yeah." I said as I turned around and smiled very weakly over at him. "I'll fuck you back to sleep." He whispered as he winked and bit his lip. I gasped. Oh this boy is real nasty. "I'm fine," I said as I turned my body around to face him. "It was just a nap."

He looked down at his paper with a grin across his face. He continued to shade around the face on his paper. "But," he said as he looked up at me. "I can fuck you all the time." He sang. "Okay Jeremih." I giggled as I ran my fingers across my soft brown hair. "Well it's Jeremih's song and my name is Jeremih." He said as he stood up when the bell rang for dismissal. "Oh." I said as I put my backpack over my shoulders.

• Alexander's POV •

I walked out of drama class and ran over to Art class, to meet up with Michael. When I reached the class, Jay Jay was walking out and Amberly behind him. I call Jeremih, Jay Jay.

"Wassup cutie." I said as I threw my arm over Amberly's shoulder. "Give me a break." She says as she throws my arm off her shoulder and rolls her eyes. "She wants me." I said as I grinned and tugged on my jacket. "Looks like it." Jay Jay teases as he looks over at her, walking away and laughs.

"You have a thing with her?" He asks as I looked back at Amberly as she runs over to Bethany and hugs her like her life depended on it. Damn, Amber and Beth are so close, I feel like they were born to be together...as in friends.

"No," I say as I shake my head and grin a little. "She used to be my girlfriend."

Jay Jay looks at me with a weird look on his face but it goes away when he smiles and pats me on the back. "She'll come around." He chuckles as he walks away and leaves me there waiting for Michael to come out.

; Bethany's POV ;

"Guess what?!" Amber yells as she walks into her mum's room and launches herself on her mother's bed.

"Listening." Her mum says as she sits up and smiles at Amber as she fixes her hair. "I had a dream that you weren't my real mum and my actual parents came for me." She said as she let out a deep breath. Her mother's lips formed a grin then she bursted out laughing.

"That's funny." Her mum says as she stands up and walks over to me. "How are you dear?" She asks as she pulls me into a tight, warm hug. "Good, what about yourself?" I ask as I smile over at her while she pulls away. "Good, good." She says as she walks over to her bed and scutes Amber off her bed.

"That's great news." I said as I stepped out of her room when I saw Amberly walking my direction.

"Let's go." She said as she grabbed my arm and pulled me over to her room.

"If you want it, come get it!" Amber shouted at Alex from his room as she held his soccer ball in her hands. "Going!" He shouted as he climbed out of his window. Dylan is right behind him. I swear he's so hot!

"Get out!" Amber shouted as she swung a pillow at him. "You told me if I wanted it, to come get it." Alex hissed as he sat on her windowsill, while Dylan climbed up.

"Fine." Amber sighed as she threw her pillow on her bed and walked over to the soccer ball that she kicked under her bed but ended up on the other side of the bed. Alex smiled in response, he hopped into the room as Dylan reached the windowsill and hopped in too.

"Hey." Dylan said as he waved at me with a smile. "Hi." I said as I waved back and returned the smile.

"Here." Amber said as she tossed the ball over to Alex. "Gracias." He said as he winked and walked over to the window. He leaned over and threw the ball straight into his room. He should be in Football.

"Good toss, bro." Dylan said as he patted his back. "Thanks." He said as he grinned and looked over at us.

"What are you guys doing later?" Alex asked as Dylan stood behind him with his arms crossed in front of his chest. "I was planning to go to the mall." I said as I looked over at Amber as she laid down on her bed. "What about you?" Alex asked Amber as she grabbed her phone. "Nothing." She responded, she didn't meet his eyes.

"So you're free?" Alex asked as Amber glared over at him. "Guess so." She replied as she turned off her phone and dropped it on her tummy. "Cool." He said as he winked and began to climb out of the window. Amber looked over at me and mouthed 'What?' I chuckled and looked over at Dylan as he began to climb out of the window behind Alex.

"Okay," I said as I walked over to the window and closed it. "Do you think he's going to take you out?"

"Doubt it." She said as she sat up and walked over to the door. "I'm getting something to drink."

"I'll go with you." I said as I walked behind her and out the room.

I really really hope her and Alex get back together! Yes, he made the worse mistake ever but he really likes her, I hope she hasn't lost feelings.
