Different // Why Don't We

Broken Hearts // Part 22

*Amber POV* 

"Amber? Can we talk for a moment?", my parents came home and immediately asked me to talk. "Yeah, sure", I said nervously. "You know how we had the idea of going back to the USA?" I nodded, my hands were shaking so I hid them under my legs. "We finally made the decision. We are moving to LA", my dad said with a huge smile. I started crying and hugged my parents: "Mom, dad, I love you so so much!" They told me we are moving next month and that I don't have school. "You better start packing today", my dad exclaimed from outside the room. I texted Alsace immediately. She read it, called me the second after and I heard her crying: "Bambi! I coming with you! My parents decided the same as yours!" We both cry of happiness and agreed on FaceTiming Hanna. She laughed: "My parents already told me, I am excited! I can't wait!" After 3 hours of talking we hung up and I started packing.

Corbyn texted me a few days ago. He said he misses me. He and I are really good friends. I didn't tell him about the whole moving thing, because Hanna is organizing a party. He called me only a day ago, begging me to come back. I told him I didn't know how and now we are FaceTiming: "Hey! Corb0ne! How are you?", I exclaimed. I can tell he is walking around. "I am great Bambi! Zach and Jack are hanging out with Hanna so you won't see them." I ask him what he is doing and suddenly, Daniel pops into sight. He recognizes me and smiles: "Amber! We miss you so so much!" I giggled as he begs me to bring Al back to him. I almost told them about the whole moving thing, but didn't. We were laughing with a joke when I heard Jonah: "Guys? Tatum is coming over!" All 3 of us stopped laughing and Corbyn yelled: "Fine! But come say hi to Amber!" I heard Jonah running down the steps and he popped into sight: "Amber! Come back! We all want you here! We need you, and I want to introduce you to Tatum, my girlfriend."

My heart shattered into a thousand pieces. I hold back my tears: "Guys, I have to go. Mum is taking me out." They laughed and said goodbye with air kisses. I ended the call and lock my bedroom door. Jonah has a girlfriend... I look in the mirror and started whispering: "You knew it was going to happen. You aren't good enough, you know that." I knew my mind was playing tricks with me when my reflected self started talking: "You are the worst person who ever existed on this planet. You really thought-", I threw the mirror on the floor and it broke. It reminds me of a song.

Where, only a second ago, was a house of Love, is now empty.

The future is over, thousands words say nothing, but the empty place you made, makes me, crazily enough, feel free.

And as that last sentence plays in my head, I realized I have to accept it. He is happy with her, so I should be happy for him too. I wiped my tears away, put my make-up on and went downstairs.
