** AMBER'S POV **
I am just chilling on the couch with Ethan. Grayson went home to get ready for 'hiking' later. I swear it's more than hiking but oh well, not that I'm gonna be hiking at all. I look over at Ethan, texting in his phone.
"Can you take me to me room please?" I ask politely.
"Sure. You good?" He puts his phone down and picks me up.
Grayson always picks me up slowly, Ethan is a little faster than Grayson. I think Grayson's just being more careful to be honest.
"Yeah I'm fine."
He sits me down on the end of my bed, looks at me to make sure I'm not lying to him then says "Okay, scream at me if you wanna come out." before he walks out.
I got changed slowly into my black jeans and grey hoodie. I scream at Ethan and he takes me back to the couch. I sit watching netflix, it's quiet except Noah and Jai playing the Playstation and the sounds from the TV.
"So Amber.." Ethan looks up from his phone.
"So Ethan.?"
"You excited for later?"
"Grayson is carrying me up a hill.?"
"No he changed his mind, he's driving use up there."
"Oh that's cool. Yeah I guess why?"
"Just asking but can I tell you something?" He asks quietly.
"Yeah sure."
"I do love you, as a best friend. So don't worry about me I got Lilly. Who I plan on taking out soon."
"Oo like a date?"
"Yeah but I don't think her dad likes me.."
"My dad didn't like you to begin with, he thought you looked like a drug addict but then he sorta got to know you better. He'll get there. I did." I laugh a little.
"Thanks Amber. Thanks." He shakes his head laughing.
We keep laughing and talking for a few more minutes until we hear a loud knock on the door and then Grayson runs into the lounge room.
"Miss me?"
"Always!"
"Well you ready to go?" Grayson holds out his arm.
"Yep." I grab his arm and he pulls me off the couch.
"Remember what I said." Ethan wiggles his eyebrows.
Grayson carries me to his car and sits me in the passenger side. Mum should be home any minute so Ethan is waiting with the boys.
"So we're just hiking right?" I look over at Grayson.
"No we're getting pizza then I'm driving to the top. What do you think?"
"Sounds good."

"Grayson you're punishing me!" I laugh still sitting in the car.
"Haha just 5 more minutes!"
"But I've been sitting in this car for a good 20 minutes with the smell of pizza just, you know chillin in the air."
"Well we're here so calm down."
Grayson pulls up his car on the top of a hill. I've been running with both the boys up here before. Grayson bought me here when I was sad one day, it's so calming. It's getting late so the sun is setting, a light shade of orange swirling the sky with bits of dark purple and pink. I climb out of the car quickly before Grayson has the chance to lift me out.
"You are not walking." He steps over to me.
"Fine piggy-back me."
He turns around, crouching down and I jump onto his back. He starts walking to the edge of the cliff.
"Wow! Slowly, it has to be more special. Gotta live the moment!" I laugh and Grayson starts walking slowly.
When we make it to the edge of the cliff Grayson puts me down and I admire the sunset. The colours blending slightly, swirling through the sky. I don't watch the sunset often but when I do it's always so magical. So beautiful. Grayson walks back to the car and comes back with a blanket and the pizza. He puts the blanket down and we both sit down.
"Amber?"
"What's up?" I say taking a bite out of my pizza slice.
"Do- do you like me?"
"Yeah of course I do!" I say soon realizing that's not what he ment.
"No Amber like as in l-love me?"
"Oh uh yeah.."
** GRAYSON'S POV **
I could feel her go shy and nervous. She does that every now and then, like when Ethan or I try and talk about her personal life or when she's really sad. I am so nervous right now though, I spoke to Ethan before and he said that I should ask Amber to be my girlfriend and I don't know, I'm just scared she'll say no and then things will get awkward but I guess here goes nothing.
"Cool." I feel like an idiot. I freaked out why did I just say that? "Will-well-will you be my girlfriend?"
I watch her carefully, spinning her head to face me. She looks shocked.
"What!?" Is all she says.
"Will you be-"
"Gray.. I know what you said.."
"Well uh what do you say?"
She smiles slightly, "Yes!" She says trying not to smile too much.
I get stuck in the moment and reach and kiss her quickly. She starts to turn a dark shade of pink, looking away trying to hide it.
** AMBER'S POV **
What just happened!? I'm still not sure if I'm dreaming or not. He's like my best friend wait no my BOYFRIEND. Damn. I hear him giggle under his breath. Shit he saw me blush.
"You're cute when you blush!"
I laugh lightly trying not to hurt my stitches.
***
I am sitting in the passenger seat, we're driving back to my place. It's quiet, a comfortable quiet though until he speaks up.
"So next week on.. Thursday next week what you doing?" He asks, thinking slowly.
"Well nothing after 11 why?"
"I'm stuck going shopping and I wanted you to come."
"Cause you hate shopping! What's Ethan doing?"
"He said he's inviting Lilly over so I have to take a long time he recons."
"Ha! Sure I'll come.. After 11 though!"
"Hehe thanks, what you doing before 11?"
Oh no. I hate telling him when I have therapy, he just worries and tells Ethan then he worries and then they think something is wrong. Honestly, something is always wrong but I hate admitting it to anyone. Even myself. I hate lying though and maybe he won't freak out this time.
"I have therapy.." I sigh.
I feel his glare on me as I watch out the window.
