14 // Insensitive Jerk

| Amberly's POV |

I busted in through the front door of my own home. I ran up the stairs as my mum shouted, "Amberly, are you okay?!"

"Yes, mum. I just really have to use the restroom." I said as I ran into the restroom and dropped myself to the floor. I sobbed. My head down on my knees and my arms wrapped around my legs. I felt the heavy sadness splattered in my heart. Why would Alex force me to kiss him? You might think it's not a big deal...but it is.

I began to take deep breaths until I had the dignity to leave the restroom, when my little sister Mary knocked on the door. "Lily, are you okay?" Her soft baby voice said as she wiggled the doorknob. "Yes, baby." I said as I turned on the sink water and wet my face. I tied my hair in a basic ponytail and left the restroom.

She followed me to my room, I pulled my scarf off my neck and threw it into my closet. I sat on my bed and took off my boots and kicked them under my bed.

"Baby, it's late," I said as I looked over at Mary as she stood by the door and stared at me as she covered her mouth with her little hands. "You should go to sleep."

"I didn't want to sleep until I knew you were home." She said softly as I slowly stood up from my bed and walked over to her. I kneeled down in front of her and wrapped my arms around her tiny body as her hands tightened around my neck and her head rested on my shoulder. "I love you." I whispered as I slowly stood up, carrying her in my arms.

I walked over to her room and laid her down on her bed. "Go to sleep." I whispered as I covered her up with her blanket. She yawned and closed her eyes. I waited until she was full asleep so I can leave. Before I stepped out, my mom stepped in and put her hand on my shoulder.

"You're a good, older sister." She whispered as she kissed my cheek and held me tight. "You're a good mom." I said as I slid my arm around her waist and kissed her cheek.

~ Alexander's POV ~

Today is a holiday so we don't have school, it's Friday.

Every morning I have to go out and get the mail, so I went out and to my surprise Amberly was out in her front yard, watering her mom's plants. I knew this was my chance to talk to her and apologize.

"Looks nice." I said as I stood behind her as she walked from plant to plant. "Okay." She said, she didn't meet my eye at all she just kept doing what she was doing. "I like the way the roses are growing." I said as I scratched the back of my neck. "Okay." She said again as she walked over to the end of the hoes and turned the water off. "Can you at least look at me as I speak to you?" I asked as I walked closer to her. "Alex, leave me alone." She snapped as she looked back at me and rolled her eyes. "Sorry." I said as I turned around and began to walk away to my house. All of a sudden I felt the cold hard water splash my back. Amberly is wetting me with the hoes. "I'm leaving!" I shouted as I raised my hands in surrender. "And don't come back!" She shouted back as she dropped the hoes and turned the water off again.

"So she's done with you?" Michael asked as he bounced his handball. "Done." I said as I laid down on his bed. We're currently at Michael's house which is right in back of my house.

"Try to get her back." Brandy said as she sat on Michael desk and did her homework. Oh right, Brandy is here too.

"I just want to hit a wall and a miracle to come out of the cracks." I said as I sat up and put my head on my knees and my arms around my legs. I think it's might be true what they say, guys are bigger babies than girls.

Monday

I ran to the cafeteria with Michael and Dylan so we can sit in our favorite table where you can see everything.

After like ten minutes of sitting there, Gigi came by and said, "Have you heard about Amberly?" I looked at her confused, I didn't have a clue what she was talking about. "What about her?" I asked as I turned my body around to face her. "She cuts herself at night because of you." She whispered in my ear. "You're not serious." I said as I glared at her and ran my fingers through my hair. My heart began to race, my legs felt weak, I didn't know what to do.

"I'll come right back." I said as I stood up and looked around in the cafeteria to spot Amberly, until I did. I walked over to where she was sitting, with Bethany.

"I need to speak to you." I said as I grabbed her wrist and pulled her next to me. "You're hurting my wrist!" She said as she moved her hand and held it with the other. "Because of your cuts." I said as I leaned in close to her so no one would here. "My what?!" She squealed as she pushed me. "Amberly, we can talk about this." I said as I grabbed her arm. Wrong move Alex...wrong move. Slap. Amberly, just slapped me.

"You're a jerk and I hate you and I wish I had never dated you! You're a waste of time! And all you ever do is just bug me, ruin everything! Leave me alone or else.." She hisses as she turns away. I watch her as she leaves and disappears. I turn on my heel and to my surprise Bethany is standing behind me.

"Leave her alone! All you do is make her feel bad, insensitive jerk." She says as she pushes me and runs right past me and to Amberly. All I tried to do was help...but all I did was make things worse.

I continued to walk over to where I was sitting before, until I got interrupted. I walked over to my seat with my head down but it instantly snaps up when a hand rests on my shoulder.

"Oh Alex, it was only a joke." Gigi says as she laughs with her friends and walks past me. It was just a joke?! How sick could she be?! Like Bethany would say: insensitive jerk, or in this case insensitive bitch.
