Regrets(book 1)

chapter 4

*after school*

Evan's P.O.V

Ok...It's true. I like Amber.

I-I dunno if I should tell anyone...Oh god...

"Evaaaaan?" Amber said, waving a hand in front of my face.

"S-sorry!" I was blushing, badly.

She giggled. "It's fine...fucking strawberry." She said, referring to my face.

I quickly covered my face.

"Why is your face red Ev?" She tilted her head.

Fuck...I can't take it...

"N-N-No reason!" I looked away.

She pulled my face back over. We were sitting down, so it was easy for her to end up on my lap, which is were she was now. Thank god we were in the park.

"Stop Lying Ev. What's wrong?" She said.

"Uhhh..." I mumbled something.

"What was that?" She asked.

"Y-You! You're why my face is red! Y-You're why I'm like this! I-I like you way too much..." I blurted out, blushing even more.

"O-Oh jeez...So I'm the reason why, huh?" She tilted her head smiling.

"Y-Yea you are. Y-You don't h-have to like me too I-I just....Couldn't take it anymore..." I said.

"Well, I do like you. I've seen you hang out with my brother, how you two get along so well, how you make him happy, because you're his friend. It makes me happy. I like you, as a friend and more... If you stick around, you might be able to make my family better....Hell, you might be abl to make me better...You are a saint Evan, you're the one that could save us.." She said, blushing and looking away.

I pulled her face back towards me, and kissed her.

She was obviously surprised, but kissed back.

"Ugh, Ew, gross no- stop." Jared's voice sounded behind her so she scrambled off of my lap and sat next to me.

"H-Hi Jared.." I said.

"One, what are you two doing, and two, if you're going to fu-"
"KLEINMAN!" Connor sounded from behind him, about a yard away with Evelyn running behind him.

"Oh joy. It's the school shooter." Jared said turning around. "And my bitch of a sister."

"Hey Kleinman have you seen- Oh. Amber there you are. I expected you to be home." Connor said to Amber.
"Well, I'm not. I don't want to go home and just sit there all night crying because of everyone's fighting." She said.

Connor huffed, getting angry. "Well too bad! You're coming home!" He grabbed her arm harshly.

"OW! No I'm not!" She said, pushing him away.
He landed on the ground. "You little bitch!"

"JUST LEAVE CONNOR!" I yelled.

He looked up at me in shock. He then glared at me, got up, grabbed his bag and stormed off with Evelyn following him.

"Holy shit Evan. That was..Woah." Jared said before walking off.

I turned to Amber only to see the empty grass where she had stood.

"Amber?" I asked no one in particular, looking around.

I started to look around, panicked. I was beginning to panic that she was taken.

"Amber? A-Amber! Amber?! Amber where are you?!" It was obvious that I was panicking,

I collapsed, my panic attack growing worse by the second.

I heard a shout, it sounded muffled...Footsteps running towards me.

Someone was in front of me. I can't see them..It's too dark. Everything's black.

I felt a hand on my shoulder, and one on my cheek. I leaned into them by reflex.

The person moved their hands and then moved me so I was lying on their lap. They started to play with my hair. It was soothing, and I never wanted it to stop. It went on for awhile the person played with my hair.

I must have fallen asleep while they did that...
