Saved my life... Maybe

Chapter 4

Zach's POV

After washing plates and cleaning up I look over to see Amber running her fingers along her scars muttering "You deserved this you piece of shit. No one wants you. Not even your own parents."

I walk towards her and she quickly pulls her sleeves back down.

"You okay?" I ask

"Just fine" she said flashing a smile that I could see right through. I lay my hand on her shoulder and she flinches. I slowly back away.

"Sorry." I say looking down at my hands.

"No, I'm sorry." She says. "Can I go for a walk?" she adds on.

"I guess. I would like it if you were back in an hour or so, if not I'm calling 911 and looking for you."

"Fine." she mumbles under her breath, grabs her black converse and heads out the door.

Amber's POV

I walk out the door and look up at the sky. Cloudy, looks like rain...perfect.

[To graser ]

If it starts to rain, don't expect me back for another hour or two.

I hit send and put my phone in my back pocket. I begin to walk to my secret spot. I hear my phone go off.

[From graser ]

Why? Do you like the rain?

I begin to type.

[To graser ]

Yes. I'll be back around 4.

I walk a little further and noticed my shoe was untied, I bend down and begin to tie it. Next thing I know some guy is on top of me.

"Woah, are you okay??!! Sorry! I didn't see you there" He said. He was cute. A piercing on his nose, brown eyes, an arm tattoo and long light brown hair.

"I'm fine." I said. He started to get up and off of me.

"I'm Ryan."

"Amber."

"Nice to meet you Amber" He said and smiled at me. "Hey do you like math?" he continued.

"No"

"Me neither..in fact the only number I care about is yours." He said and winked. Handing me his phone.

I give him a fakeish smile and put my number in his phone.

"There. Text me later. I gotta go." I said walking away.

I get to my secret place and sit there watching nature.

Sometimes I wish I was a leaf in the fall. Tan. Beautiful. But all leaves fall. That's the only thing I have in common with the leaves. We're both gonna fall one day. Everyone will forget I was even here..
