A Mystery

Chapter Eight

- Josh's POV -

It started to rain heavily; I grabbed my books and ran towards my house.

"See you tomorrow?" I heard behind me, I smiled and turned around.

"Yeah, see you tomorrow" I said back to her. I still have to remember that I seen something last night, something weird.. And it was with Amber. I can't be her friend, no! She's evil, well I think she is.

"Who's your new friend?" Mike said winking at me, I rolled my eyes.

"She's called Amber and we're not friends" I said while making a sandwich.

"Oh, you were fighting with her?"

"No, we were just talking it's nothing special" I left the kitchen and went up to my bedroom, setting the wet books on the floor.

- Amber's POV -

I quickly ran up to my room and locked the door, I felt really happy.. I've actually talked to someone that wasn't my mother, which was weird. She keeps me locked away, she doesn't want me socialising with others.

I jumped up to my window and looked out at the rain bouncing off the ground, I looked over at Josh's house..

"Amber?!" I heard from downstairs.

"I'm up here mum!" I shouted while still looking out the window.

"Why is your hair wet?.." She said while entering my room, I grabbed the ends of my hair and stuttered.

"Uh.. I had a shower?" I said turning to face her, she looked around the room.

"We don't have a shower" she whispered, I gulped. She charged towards me and grabbed my hair.

"I told you to not go outside ever!! Did you speak to anyone?! Look at anyone?!" She screamed in my ear.

"No no no! I just stood at the door I promise" I yelped as she tightened her grip around my hair.

"Good, never go out there again sweetie" she said throwing me to the ground and walking out, I looked up and screamed.

"Don't do that you'll hurt your throat!" She shouted from the corridor, oh no.. Why do you make me angry, it's happening again..

- Josh's POV -

Another comfy night reading in bed listening to the rain hit of my window..

"NEVER GRAB ME LIKE THAT AGAIN"

I heard scream from next door.. It sounded like Amber, she's in trouble. I jumped out of bed and put on my trainers.

"Where are you going?" Mike questioned.

"I'm not sure!" I shouted while slamming the front door behind me, I ran towards her house and knocked the door. I heard smashing and screaming then I seen a shadow walking towards the door.

"Yes?" The woman said, I'm guessing this is Ambers mother?

"Um hello, I heard noises coming from your house. I was just wandering if everything is ok?" I said as I heard screaming and crying from upstairs, I tried to look around Ambers mum but she blocked my view.

"Yes, everything is fine" She said as she slammed the door. I tried to look through the window on the door but it was no use. What the hells going on?
