Ámbar Smith

After that night, nothing was the same, I was never the same again.

Everything I heard was silence, everything I saw was contempt, all I felt was nothing.
Minutes turned into hours and hours into days... I tried to fight it, to be the cold, racional Ámbar I always was. But I couldn't, how can you fight loneliness with loneliness?

I am alone. I have no one to hear me. No one to hug me. No one to guide me. No one for anything.

Yes, it's true I am used to being alone, but this is something I have never felt before, it's the consequence of everything I have ever done.

I lost him.
I lost everything.
And worse, I lost myself in the process.

The thing is, I am never really alone, there are always people everywhere, there are people in my home, which I don't recognize as my own anymore. There are people on the streets, on the park, everywhere, but their looks, they kill me inside.

How did I go from la reina de la pista (the queen of the skating rink), the most loved girl in the Roller, in Blake, to this girl everyone hates and doesn't want to see even painted... That saying"attention is attention doesn't matter if it's good or bad" is so wrong. This kind of attention only brings damage...

I have already surrendered. I lost, Lunita won. She got everything. Not only my boyfriend, my pista (rink) but even my house and my grandfather.
It's almost like she was born to destroy me. And yet, no one seems to understand it, to see it. She is just so cute and perfect at the eyes of everyone.

She may have started all of this, but it was my fault that I didn't follow the plan, it's my fault I was discovered, that I fell in love, that I got my heart broken. All of this was my fault. Because I wasn't who I needed to be. Who I always was, who I had to be.
I gave in. And then I gave in again. And now I am waiting to find out the result of such failure.

It's so stupid doing this, the way I have been living my life lately of course I would be feeling as strange as I have felt.

It couldn't be true. I couldn't have failed that bad.

The alarm rings, letting me know the 3 minutes are gone.

I take a deep breath and take my eyes to the test in front of me.

This is it, Ámbar. The moment of truth...

Positive

I gasp for air, shocked with my lastest discoveries.

Positive?

Of course, Ámbar what were you expecting?

I turn to the mirror, placing a hand in stomach, still flat for now. Despite the craziness of this whole situation I cannot help but be relieved.

I am pregnant. I am having a baby.
There is a little creature growing inside of me.

I smile for the first time in what seems like forever. Tears of joy filling my eyes.

I am not alone.
Now it's not only me.
It's me and this baby.
Together.
Against the world.
I have him.
He has me.
I am not alone!
I won't be alone anymore.
