Chpt. 8 ~ You Can't Pick Your Neighbors

Amber's P.O.V. ~ 

  The past few days the only thing and or person I could think about was Jake. Why did he kiss me and then run off? Why has he been avoiding me? Was I a bad kisser?

  It has been completely impossible for me to even get answers out of him because, whenever he sees me in the hallway he turns around and walks the other direction like I am some kind of monster. Was it because he was scared or was he just your average everyday douche? 

"How did you guys even become to know each other?" Adaline asked he seems to be the hot topic at our lunch table since he was the only thing we have been talking about since school got back in. 

"We were neighbors for 8 years when we were little," I stated as I pretended to puke 

"Oh, 'cmon he isn't that bad," Luna states and then darts her eyes away from mine

"Oh, but he is. I guess you can't pick your neighbors," I sighed 

*Bell Rings*

"Later girls." I wave bye. 

"Later." They wave back and say in unison. 

  I see Jake walking out of the front entrance of the school. I decided to catch up and hopefully get some answers and just to make sure he is okay. 

"Jake," I called after him. He saw me, he picked up his pace. 

  "You can't keep doing this, it isn't fair," I said with pain coming through my voice. He stopped in his tracks. He turns around and now picks up his pace now towards me. 

"What isn't fair?" He basically shouts in my face

  "I tell you what isn't fair Miss Amber Jacobs, it isn't fair not being control. I feel like I am spiraling. Why you ask?" I inhale to answer.

  "Don't even answer, it's because you walked into my life again. Whenever I see you I am not in control. You have some fucking nerve. Walking in and out of my life, like your shit doesn't stink. Please. You're far from innocent, perfect, or sweet. If people think that, they are jackasses. I know I am because I bought it." He said now fuming. 

I stood there with my mouth open for a second. Then, I see him turn around to walk away.

No way in hell I'll let a boy talk to me like that.

"no," I said calmly. He stopped where he was again. 

  I marched over to him. "Where in the hell do you get off on telling me who and what I am? In what place are you to say I am the reason you have a fucked up life? Who said I walked into your life. Because last time I checked, you were the one who pulled me into the closet and asked me to go to your stupid fucking party." I paused. 

  "So, if anything and I mean anything!! You are the one to blame. And, do not think for a second you know me because people change just look how you turned out." I turned around to walk off while his mouth was now hanging open. 

  I stopped and turned back around. "One more thing, do me a favor and fuck off." I smiled. I turned around for the last time. 

He grabs, my heart drops. He turned me around. "You're coming with me." He said with some darkness lingering in his eyes. 

I tried to put up a fight and walk back into school but, he basically dragged me to his car. He has child safety locks. My luck, right? 

"Where are we going?" I asked 

"Sush. You'll see." He said a bit more calm than he was a few minutes ago.

I feel someone shaking me. So I tried shoving them off and I turn over.

"hey, Jacobs we are here." I hear a familiar voice say

I get up rubbing one of my eyes. "huh?" I yawned

I look over and see Jake smiling at me, which is a sight to see, it made my face heat up. But, I got myself under control. I forgot that we were going somewhere. I forgot I was with him.

"where are we?" I said softly and then I heard the waves crash.

I hop out of the car so fast. I love the beach so much. It's been forever since I been to the beach, it makes me so happy. I run up to the waves. I jump over and frolick in the water with excitement.

Jake's P.O.V. ~ 

  I smile at the fact she is so happy. Her smile could light up the whole room. I love it. I do hate that I blew up on her though. What I said it wasn't the truth, it was far from it. I guess that I am falling for her. No, 

I know I am falling for Amber Jacobs and it's scary.

"Hey, save some fun for me!" I called out running towards her 

After about 2 hours of wrestling in the water and we sat down in the wet sand. We were both winded. 

"Hey, Amber," I said starting my question 

"Yes?" She questioned winded

"What's your middle name?" I asked with curiosity 

"Riley." She said confused looking at me.

"well," I started 

"I love you, Amber Riley Jacobs," I said softly 

I started to lean into her to kiss. She took me by surprise, Amber climbed on my lap and softly pushed me backward until her lips made contact with mine. Her lips were salty from the ocean water splashing us. I guided my hands along the arch of her back trying to pull her closer to me. If that was even possible, at that moment I didn't need her to say 'I love you' back because her actions spoke louder than words. I knew she loved back, that or she really liked me. A man can only. A ring interrupted our lips from kissing any further. 

I grabbed my phone to see if it was mine. It wasn't.

Amber's P.O.V. ~ 

A phone ringing interrupted our kiss. 

I checked my phone. It was mine. It was an unknown number.

"Hello?" I questioned answering the call

"Hello, is this Miss Amber Jacobs?" The female voice said on the other side of the phone

"Yes," I said slowly still confused.

"This is Clintwood Memorial Hospital." My stomach dropped and so did my phone.
