Dad Drama (Complete)

Chapter 10- Day After(Sophie's P.O.V.)

I wake up on Ambers coach and look up to see Amber putting a cool cloth on my head.
Amber: "Your awake." She says in her soft, calm voice.
Sophie: "Ugh, why are such a good friend? I'm supposed to be mad at you for not telling me your relationship with my brother." I sigh and she laughs a little.
Amber: "I'm sorry Sophie, we where going to tell you before the party but then your- umm, that guy and his wife showed up and Kyle was stressed. So we were saving it for another time."
Sophie: "Ok, I forgive you. Now give me all the deets!" I say excitedly. Amber laughs a little and tells me about them.
Amber: "We've had feelings for each other for like, 2 years but our relationship has been for 4 months." Then she smiles while looking down. Amber is a private person. I'm one of the only people that she opens up to, me, my brother, and her cousin Zoe are the only people so I guess I'm special! Then Amber continues,
Amber: "We kept it a secret because of what we thought you would think." She sits next to me while she looks down so I rub her back and she smiles. She hugs me and starts to cry. I hug her back startled.
Sophie: "Oh gosh what's wrong?!"
Amber cries on me shoulder for a few more minutes and then starts talking in a stuttering voice.
Amber: "Thank you for being my friend. Th-Thank you for forgiving me."
A tear rolls down her cheek as I nod at her.
Sophie: "Of course, is there something else that's bothering you?" I look at her while she looks down. Her long brown hair covering her face.
Sophie: "Amber, please tell me." She looks up and her eyes look almost stormy.

In a soft quiet voice she answers me.
Amber: "Ok." She takes a deep breath and looks me right in the eyes. It's so shocking to see her cry, she is always this happy, energetic, smiling, beautiful girl. But here she is, completely broken and defenseless.
Amber: "My parents, they... they hate me... they always yell at me and tell me how pathetic I am. I get straight A's but it's not good enough for them. I clean the house, do laundry, and babysit whenever my little cousins are here. I am more of a parent than them most of the time. On the quiz we had two days ago I got an -A, and they where yelling at me and... and enjoying it." I hear no anger in her voice, only sadness. A single tear rolls down her cheek. I had no idea.
Sophie: "That's emotional abuse Amber, we need to report them." She signs and looks at me.
Amber: "We have no evidence. What could we do? They act like they love me whenever people are around."
Sophie: "Let's go buy some cameras." She looks at me with a grateful smile while I look at her with a Mischievous smile. Then she frowns.
Amber: "My parents track my credit card and whatever buy."
Sophie: "I'll pay for it."
Amber: "What! No way-" I cut her off.
Sophie: "Amber if it means so much to you, you can pay me back later but right now we need to go and get those cameras ok. Your parents are coming tomorrow. She nods and we get dressed and go.
When we get into the car I buckle up and text Kyle.
