Dead Like Me [COMPLETED] original

Too Late

~Clark~

I woke up peacefully on my bed and I yawned, stretching my arms in the process.

I got up and walked out of the bedroom and downstairs. It has been about three months since Amber was in the hospital and my feelings are growing stronger.

I should just tell her. I mean, she feels the same way. So, why not take the chance? I'm not sure what is holding me back.

Is it rejection? Is it the fear that I won't be good enough for her? I have to act fast. I know someone is going to come sooner or later and sweep her off her feet. And I'll just stay as her best friend forever.

"I have to tell her today." I said to myself.

I finally got ready and dressed. I walked out the door and went straight to Amber's house.

It's now or never.

~Amber~

I woke up from a peaceful slumber and I looked at the clock. It said that it was 9:00 and I smiled. I got to sleep in today. 

I got up from my bed and into the bathroom. I did my usual routine and I got dressed. I bounced down the stairs and skipped into the kitchen.

I have a feeling that something is going to happen today.

Something really good. I grabbed an apple and I took a bite out of it. It was just right of taste. I heard Sara yell and I dropped my apple and I bounded up the stairs.

I reached her room and kicked the door open. She was staring wide eyed at the Devil. He smiled kindly at her and she flinched.

"God, I thought somebody was getting murdered up here." I teased Sara.

Sara looked at me as if saying 'are you out of your mind'. I chuckled and went over to the devil.

"Hello Eric, nice to see you again." I smirked.

His name is Eric, but he only lets people who he is comfortable with use it.

"Hello Amber!" Eric greeted me with a hug.

I smiled and I tuned to Sara.

"Sara, this is Eric, the devil." I introduced and Sara nodded.

"Nice to meet you sir." Sara muttered a little scared.

Eric chuckled and went towards her.

I'm not going to hurt you Sara." Eric reassured and I nodded my head in agreement.

"Eric is a nice person, he won't hurt you. And if he even tried, you have me to protect you." I teased Eric and he stuck his tongue out at me.

"It's the truth." I commented and we all laughed.

"So, Eric, why are you here?" I asked politely.

"Oh yeah. I came here to say something." Eric turned to me.

"Is it something important?" I asked.

"Yes it is." He said.

"Why don't we speak in private." Eric guided me downstairs.

He brought me to the kitchen and he turned to me.

"Amber, you see, I am so lonely in hell. I have been for quite sometime now. When I first saw you, I knew that you were special. What I'm trying to say is that I like you.

And I would like to have a chance with you." Eric smiled.

I was going to say yes, but I thought about Clark? I still have feelings for him. Then again I am gaining feelings for Eric.

I have to act on one now I guess.

"Yes, I will give you a chance Eric." I smiled and he embraced me in a hug.

I heard the door open and Jimmy and Clark. I didn't care really saw. I heard gasps.

~Clark~

Jimmy let me in and we were walking to the kitchen.

"I'm going to ask her out." I said to Jimmy.

"Finally." Jimmy and I laughed.

We went into the kitchen and saw the Devil and Amber hugging. I felt a pang of hurt in my chest.

I was too late.
