"What movie are we watching first Amber?" Eddie asked curiously. 

"We are going to watch The Outsiders!" I said excitedly. 

"But I have seen that already!" Richie whined. 

"Fine, it's either this or The Breakfast Club." I said. 

"I want to watch The Breakfast Club!" Georgie said happily. 

"Ok, Georgie we will watch The Breakfast Club." I say. 

The losers and I sit and watch The Breakfast Club, until the end in which by that point Georgie was asleep by my feet and Eddie was asleep, laying over my lap. I asked quietly what the remaining wanted to watch and they said BeetleJuice. So I put on the movie and got up the best I could without waking Eddie or Georgie and made some more popcorn. Then, I took Georgie to his room, kissed him on the head and told him goodnight. Next, I took Eddie up to my bed and told him goodnight. I went back downstairs and grabbed the popcorn. I went back and watched the rest of the movie with the losers which by that point were all asleep. "Goodnight guys I love you." I whispered before getting up. I needed to go to the store to get some tampons. The nearest store was about a block away but I really needed tampons and I couldn't wait. I put my shoes on and grabbed a jacket.

I walked down the silent street feeling a little bit nervous because normally I don't go out really late at night. It was my fault for not getting tampons earlier, I'm such an idiot. I finally got to the store and got what I needed and headed out. I wasn't paying attention and knocked into someone. 

"Hey! watch where your walking!" A familiar voice said. I got up and reached out my hand not realizing who I was trying to help up. I looked down and saw the one person I didn't want to see... Henry Bowers. 

"Amber, what the hell is wrong with you?" Henry asked slapping my hand away and getting up himself. 

"I'm sorry Henry, it's not like I meant to knock you over." I shrugged. Then, I realised that the box of tampons weren't in my hands.Shit. I finally saw them just a few steps away.  

"Why are you out here this late anyway?" Henry asked curiously.  

"I... I.. I umm needed to-" too late he picked up the box and handed them to me. I took them embarrassed. 

"I'll be right back." Henry breathed.

Great I have screwed up big time! I took this time to turn and bolt towards home. I ran as fast as I could and tripped. Just wonderful. I got up and looked behind me, nothing. So I got up and started walking, looking over my shoulder sometimes. It had been a while since I looked over my shoulder, so I looked and saw an angry Henry with a cigarette in his mouth. I shrieked but it was muffled by a hand. 

"Amber, shut the fuck up! I'm not going to hurt you!" Henry whisper-screamed. 

"Sorry, but you seriously scarred me." I confessed. 

"Whatever, but seriously I told you I would be right back.Why did you leave?" He scolded. 

"I was embarrassed..." I notified. 

"Why? I- was it because I saw that you had tampons?" Henry remembered. 

"Yea." I affirmed. 

Henry burst out into a fit of laughter. Real laughter. I stood there even more embarrassed than I was before. 

"Seriously Amber, I wouldn't have figured you would get embarrassed over that" Henry chuckled. 

"Yeah whatever..." I uttered. 

"Aww did I hurt little Amber's feelings?" Henry chuckled. 

"No Henry, you didn't!" I snapped at him. 

"Jesus you really are on your period aren't you." Henry blurted with his hands up. 

I walked a little faster to my house which was just a little bit ahead. I heard his footsteps get closer and I broke into a sprint. He was right behind me and I ran up onto my porch. 

"Amber what are you doing?" Henry questioned. 

"I'm going to bed" I wheezed opening up my door carefully and shut it. I peeked out the window and saw Henry shaking his head as he walked away. "What just happened?" I asked myself. I climbed onto the couch and went to sleep.
