*Two weeks later*

** AMBER'S POV **

I wake up to my alarm ringing loudly, who even has alarms when they don't have school to go to? I jump out of bed realizing what day it is, it's Tuesday and I'm picking Erika up from the airport. I jump in the shower and get dressed. I put on my high waisted black, ripped jeans, a white tank top and my cropped, dark green bomber jacket. I run into the kitchen and greet Jai as I make myself some fruit loops.

"Sleep well Jai?" I say between mouthfuls.

"Yeah."

As I'm about to put another mouthful of fruit loops in my mouth my phone starts singing at me and I jump as I see Grayson's contact appear on the screen.

"Hey!" I scream into the phone.

"Well good morning then!" Grayson Laughs.

"What's up?"

"You ready to go yet?"

"Nearly! Don't rush me!"

I place my bowl on the sink and run to my room, still on the phone to my boyfriend. I put my sneakers on and run out the front door. I hang up the phone and jump in the car with Ethan and Grayson. Mum had to rush to work so the boys are taking me to pick Erika up, as for Jai and Noah? Noah is with Dad at his work, fitting screen doors and Jai is staying at home.

"Sorry, I slept in."

"You always sleep in though." Ethan laughs.

"Says the one who is sleeping in till 2 in the afternoon most days!"

"She got you there!" Grayson laughs.

We arrive at the airport, Grayson opens my car door and entwines his fingers in mine. He laughs at me as I'm pretty much jumping in excitement. Grayson, Ethan and I walk through the airport to the arrivals. Erika's flight hasn't landed yet so we're just standing here, Ethan trying to have a conversation with me and Grayson laughing at how excited I am. I stand here looking Grayson.

"You look out of breath Amber?" Grayson laughs.

"She was just jumping around like a wild cat!" Ethan chuckles.

"AMBER!" I hear the familiar voice from meters behind me.

"Erika?" I whisper turning around. "ERIKA!"

I run to Erika and jump into her arms. It's like in the movies when you see someone for the first time in forever and they run to each other and spin around. That's what it's like. I hear Ethan and Grayson walking up behind us laughing.

"Oh my god Erika!" I laugh turning to the boys. "This is Grayson and that's Ethan!" I point to each one.

** ETHAN'S POV **

Erika looks so down to earth, kind, friendly. Like Amber.

Lilly broke up with me about a week ago. She wasn't ready for a relationship and I understand she's been through alot. We agreed to still be friends just not in an intimate relationship.

**flashback**

Lilly said she wanted to meet up, I don't know why but I can only guess. She's been quiet lately. I pick her up and we drive to Starbucks, I order her a coffee and myself a latte. I walk back and sit opposite her, her face so scared and nervous.

"So what's up?" I ask.

"Ethan.."

I take a deep sigh, "Yeah."
