Forbidden Love (Ulquiorra fanfic) [ON HOLD]

Chapter 40

"What the hell did you do that for?!" I heard Grimmjow yell and when I looked at him, he was standing up with his fists clenched. He then walked over to Mark and grabbed him by the collar.

"Grimmjow..." I stood up and pulled him off Mark. "Stop it." I said, quietly.

"He just slapped you and you're going to do nothing about it?!" He yelled at me.

"This has nothing to do with you so be quiet, Grimmjow." I snarled as he moved away from me and turned to sit down again.

"I'm sorry about that, Mark..." I sighed.

"You need to learn to control your friends actions, stupid bitch..." Mark mumbled under his breath so Beccy couldn't hear him.

"Beccy, can you go upstairs please?" My mum said and Beccy ran out of the room, all I could hear was the noise of her feet stomping up the stairs. "There was no need to swear, Mark."

"Do you understand how worried everyone was about you?! And how much crap we were given, thanks to you just leaving for God knows why!" He yelled at me.

"Yes. I know." I sighed.

"You stupid bitch!" He yelled and hit me again. "We've been questioned by the police and people have been thinking that we killed you! You don't know how much crap we've been through, thanks to you being an idiot!" He then punched me and I fell against the chair. As usual, my mum just sat there and let him do what he wanted. "What do you have to say for yourself?!" He yellled.

"You really think it was just my fault that I left without a word... You don't know what I've had to go through and this is the fucking thanks I get?!" I yelled at him. "You know what, that's it! I'm sick of your stupid actions and abuse!"

"How dare you, you little slut..." He then raised his hand but I knew what he was going to do so I just dodged him. "How did you-?!" He gasped as I grabbed him by the collar and pushed him against the wall.

"I'm sick of this! You're a bastard, I've always hated you too. Ever since my mum started dating you, I knew there was something off about you and then as soon as you got married, she's became a different woman. I don't know what happened for her to act so calm about all of this but you don't even deserve her, she can do so much better than you." I then let go of him and he fell to the floor. I turned to my mum and she looked shocked.

"Amber, you're bleeding again." She stated.

"Hmm." I then walked over to the mirror, which was hanging on the wall. My cheek was red and my nose was bleeding. "Nothing new then." I turned to Mark, he was just looking up at me with anger in his eyes. "I'm sorry about that mum. I didn't mean to say all of that in front of you." I looked at her and she didn't look happy.

"It's ok but I think you should leave now." She stood up and walked over to Mark. "Are you alright, Mark?" She asked him.

"I'm fine." He then stood up and they both turned to me. "You heard what she said. Leave." He smirked.

"If this is the last time I'm going to see you then I might as well tell you the truth, mother." She looked up at me, confused.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"I'll show you." I then walked towards her and placed my hand over her eyes. I showed her all of my memories about Mark. After a few minutes, I moved my hand and saw my mum crying. "I'm sorry that it had to be this way but at least you now know the truth. Goodbye, mother." I then opened the door to the living room and walked into the kitchen, I heard footsteps behind me and I turned to see Ulquiorra, Grimmjow and Lord Aizen walking towards me. "We're leaving now. I hope you got a good analysis of my family now, Lord Aizen." I then opened the back door to hear footsteps from upstairs. It was Beccy, she was running downstairs.

"Amber?" She muttered as she walked towards me.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Are you leaving again?" She asked with tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry Beccy but I have to. Mum and Mark don't want me here anymore and, even if they did want me to stay, I can't anyway. I have to go back to my new home." I smiled at her, to keep her reassured. "Don't worry though. I'll be back before you know it and, as soon as I am, I'll come straight to see you." I hugged her.

"I'll miss you." She wimpered.

"I'll miss you too." I then stood up and we left.

"Amber, are you alright?" Ulquiorra asked me as we walked into the garden.

"I'm fine." I said as I wiped away the blood from my nose. "Well, I've seen Fabian and my family. Now I just need to go see Esther and then we can go back." I sighed.

"Where does Esther live?" Grimmjow asked.

"If you don't mind, I'd prefer it if I went alone. Could I meet you back at Urahara's shop?" I asked.

"Of course." Lord Aizen said. "Be back for 11." He sighed.

"Alright. Thank you, Lord Aizen." We then went our seperate ways. Ulquiorra, Grimmjow and Lord Aizen went back to the shop and I went to Esthers. I didn't want to take up too much time so I just flashed to her house. I knocked on the door and Esther answered it.

"You're still here..." She smiled at me and then moved away from the door so I could walk in.

"Yeah. Now, what did you want to talk to me about?" I asked.

"Could we talk about it upstairs?" She murmered.

"Sure." I then followed her to her room and when I sat down, she closed the door and sat by me. "So, what's up?" I asked.

"I-I'm sorry, Amber..." She mumbled.

"Hmm? Sorry for what?" I asked.

"For not telling you sooner..."

"Hey, stop rambling and just tell me what's wrong." I sighed.

"Alright then." She then stood up and grabbed something from her desk. I then heard her swallow and, all of a sudden, her body dropped to the floor but when I looked up, I saw her standing up and she looked like a soul reaper.

"Y-you're a soul reaper?!" I was shocked.

"Yeah..." She looked really sad.

"Why didn't you tell me before?" I asked.

"Because when you were talking to Fabian, Aizen spoke to me. He knew I was a soul reaper and when we were talking about it, he told me not to tell you but I had to tell you sooner than later. I'm so sorry about keeping this from you." She knealt down and bowed in front of me.

"It's alright. Don't worry about it, Esther." She looked up at me, confused. "Even if you are a soul reaper, it doesn't change my opinion about you. You're still my best friend. Hell, you're practically my sister still." I smiled at her as she sat up properly.

"That makes me happy." She smiled at me.

"Good." I smiled again. "So, since this is my last day here, how about we just spend the rest of it together."

"Yeah! That sounds nice." She smiled and then got back in her gigai.

"Before that though, care to explain why you're here?" I asked.

"Oh. Well, my parents are both soul reapers and we've been stationed here to just watch over the town. We'll be here for another 10 years and then we're going back to the soul society." She sighed as she sat back down next to me.

"Alright." After that, we just spent the rest of the night watching films and having a laugh together.
