Ambers POV
I wake up and I'm in someone else's room. I look over and see Grayson laying down next to me. I then start to remember what happened last night. Oh my god I yelled at Ethan... I need to get out of here. Why would I yell at him? He doesn't like to be talked back to. God I'm a fucking idiot. Maybe if I climb out the window. It's only a two story drop. It can't be that bad...right?

I get up carefully and walk to the window. I open it and climb out. I then jump when I hear someone moving and I landed on my ankle. I scream in pain a little but start to run so I'm not caught. Bad idea.

"Clumsy ass" I say to myself and slow down when I see Hayes' house. I then slowly limp into the house. Here goes nothing

"Oh my god Amber! You're alive" Nash said hugging me.
"Yea I'm okay" I say. I then see Hayes run down the stairs and he looks terrible.
"Amber..." he says and runs to me. Don't flinch. Don't flinch. Don't flinch. But guess what, I flinch. I just start to cry. I can't help it
"Amber whatever I did, I'm so sorry." He said
"Hayes..." I say
"Look Hayes would you give me and her a minute please." Jack says. Hayes nods and goes outside. I then run to Jack and hug him hard.
"Hey there" he says and hugs me back.
"I've missed you so much Jack." I say
"I've missed you too Amber." He says
"So let's talk about this dream of yours" he said. I then pull away and look at Nash.
"I'm sorry but I had to tell him, you left and no one knew where you went or when you would be back or if you were going to hurt yourself ." He said
"Yea I understand" I smiled softly.
"So what happened" Jack said
"Well Hayes was hitting me and calling me stuff. He was yelling at me to get up so I did, then he started to touch me and then he raped me." I said looking down.
"Amber he won't do that. It was only just a dream. A really sucky one." Jack said rubbing my back.
"Yea I know but now when I look at him, I get this feeling of fear." I shrugged.
"Why did you leave?" Nash asked.
"Because I heard what Hayes said and I didn't want him to see me as the slut who kissed his brother. I couldn't take all the thoughts so I ran." I said sitting down

"Amber he doesn't see you as that. He likes you a lot." Nash says
"I know, it's just the feeling, I get it when I see the twins or when I think about my parents."
"Talk to him about it. Let him know what's going on." Jack said.
"I will but can you guys please be there when I do? I can't be alone" I said looking at them.
"Of course" they say. I nod and walk out to get Hayes. I tell him to come in and sit. He does so and then looks at me.
"The reason that I have been gone Hayes is because I had a dream."
"Oh" He said
"In the dream, you were hitting me like my parents use to and you...uhh...raped me." He looked so sad when I said that.

Hayes POV
When she said I was hitting her, it hurt me, but then she said I raped her. That's what killed me. I would never do that to her.
"Amber I would never do that." I say
"I k-know Hayes, it's just I got scared. It all felt so real that I couldn't be near you." She says
"Amber I am so sorry that I did that in your dream but I would never lay a hand on you if it made you uncomfortable."
"Hayes I know. It was just a dream and I know I shouldn't be acting like this but it just felt real." She said looking down. I get up and walk to her. I then touch her face a little.
"It's okay, I'm just sorry you dreamed me doing that." I hope this doesn't affect our relationship
"Your fine don't be sorry." She smiled.
"So is that why you ran away?" I asked
"That and something else, but it doesn't matter anymore." She says smiling softly
"If it's because of what I said about you and Nash, I'm sorry."
"It's fine." She looked down. Who's clothes is she wearing? Those aren't mine.
"Where did you stay at?" I ask
"Grayson's..." after she said that everyone tensed up.
"What were you doing there?" Jack asked
"Well when I ran away I was in shorts and a t-shirt with no phone so I was freezing cold. I bumped into Grayson and he took me to his place and gave me some clothes." She said
"What about Ethan? Was he there?" Nash said
"Yes he was. He didn't do anything..."
"I don't believe you." I say and she looks up
"Why not?" She said
"Because I know him. He did something and your just not saying it." I say
"All he was trying to do was talk, but I couldn't handle it all. I cried and cut, then Grayson took me to his room where we fell asleep. Then I jumped out of the window because I yelled at Ethan and I know he hates it when I back talk and I landed on my ankle and hurt it." She said
"Wait you cut?" Nash said.
"Yea but she is doing the best she can to stop" I say rubbing her hands a little.
"I thought you were over that Amber" Jack said with a disappointing look.
"I'm sorry but that's how I have dealt with all my stress and pain the past few years. So it's practically all I know how to do along with cry." She said walking upstairs.
"Jack..." I say upset
"What? I didn't do anything" he says
"But you did. You gave her a look. She is broken and you know this so cut her some slack here. It takes time to heal from stuff this bad." I say
