My story

Chapter; 4

My heart was beating. My palms were sweating. I was having second thoughts. Everything seemed as though it was slow motion. Deb answered the door ‘Hello darling’ She smiled at Reece, then looked at me. Her smile dropped abit. ‘oh my. What happened to you, dirt on your face, blood on you.’ She said holding her cheeks in her palms ‘She fell over mum’ Reece said giggling; Deb slapped Reece on the arm playfully ‘Reece!’ She said starting to laugh herself, I joined in. ‘I’m Amber.’ I said smiling. ‘Yes dear, heard all about you.’ She smiled.

 I could tell were Reece got his teeth from. I've always had a liking to the gap teeth, I don't know why though. ‘Spare room in at the end of the hall way and to the right, and Reece can guide you there. And Reece, make sure you clean her wound please,’ she smiled grabbing Reece’s face and kissing it. ‘Okay mum’ Reece said pulling his face away for her reach . I could tell my the look on his face he didn’t like the sloppy kiss, Deb just laughed and walked away 'By the way Amber, welcome in to the nut house!' she said while walking in to the lounge' ‘Better get the first aid box out..’ Reece started to giggle. ‘Aid’ his giggle turned in to laughter, I couldn’t help but join in and giggle abit at his immaturity. He was immature, and so was I so we could tell we were going to get along really well.

 ‘Sit on the stool please’ said Reece pointing at the stool in all seriousness ‘Doctor Reece in the house aye?’ I said grinning, while sliding my bottom on the stool at the counter. He looked up smiling.’ Well, there wouldn't have to be a doctor Reece if someone didn't fall over!' we started to laugh again just thinking of it. At the time it wasn’t so funny, but what's the point of being a grump about something you couldn't help? ‘What’s all this laughter I hear?’ Said Olivia tedding down the hall way ‘Hey, I’m Amber, you must be Olivia’ I said smiling. ‘Please Amber; call me Liv.’ She said smiling.

She was so pretty, blond hair, blue eyes. Any guy would be lucky to have her.’ Oh, is this the Amber you’ve been talking about Reece?!’ Liv said trying to embarrass him, she started to smile at her self. ‘Olivia, Shh’ Reece said going red. I started to laugh. It was pretty cute that I had someone talking about me. But probably not in the way I was thinking. ‘The cut is pretty deep Amber’ he said as he was cleaning it ‘Oh well, I’m not dead yet, so I’m happy.’ I said smiling. Reece looked up at me and smiled. He whipped the wound with alcohol whips to disinfect anything inside there. It stung abit and my eyes started to water. I started to think to myself 'Come on Amber, don't cry, be tough' saying this bought back so much memories of dad

'GET UP'

'No dad, I don't want to get up!'

'Get up and put your top on.. NOW!'

'No, I don't like that-'

Slap

I held my cheek.

I was only 10.

'Put.It.On'

Slap.

Come on Amber, don't cry, be tough

Olivia stepped out of the kitchen and stepped in to the hall a bit ‘Philly, Georg!’ She called and waited for a response. I heard a little voice come from the distance 'What?' I'm not sure which one it was, because she had the cutest voice, I think it might have been Phil ‘Amber’s here!’ She said, then turning around and smiling at me. 'The Amber?' I turned around and looked at Reece, he was going bright red and he didn't dare look at me.

I heard foot steps come from down the fall. I looked around and saw to beautiful faces peeping around the corner, smiling there face off. But they seemed shy.
