Cut

Amber's POV

I was walking home from school but frowned as a car pulled up at the side of me .

I looked out of the corner of my eye to see Henry and his gang . Great! This is the last thing I need .

I heard there car door shut and heard them jeering at me from behind .

I continued to walk towards my house until I felt myself been pushed against the nearby wall .

"What are you doing ?"
I shouted slightly .

"Teaching you a lesson"
Henry replied .

I watched as Henry got out a switchblade . Is he crazy ?

"What the fuck . Let me go"
I shouted whilst kicking and screaming .

"You will remember never to embarrass me in front of the school and my dad ever again"

So the police officer must've been his dad .

"Well maybe if you was nice to people I wouldn't have to state facts"

"That's it"

I felt Henry lift my shirt up slightly so I showed my stomach .

The two boys holding onto me looked unsure where as the forth one with longish black hair was looking at the whole ordeal with a bloodthirsty look on his face .

I felt Henry began carving into my stomach . I kicked and screamed not knowing what else to do .

I realised he was carving a H . Was he going to spell out his whole name ?

He then stopped half way through the H and made eye contact with me .

His face showed a mixture of emotions but the ones that stood out to me was regret .

"Come on let's go"
He said to his gang .

Before they drove off .

***************

I finally arrived home which took longer than i presume it usually would because I was walking slower because of the pain of the cut .

I walked in the house and could hear my mom speaking to someone in the kitchen in hushed whispers .

The other person had a masculine voice but sort of high pitched in some aspects . It was eerie that's for sure .

"Mom?"
I said whilst walking in the kitchen.

Only to see my mom was just standing there speaking to nobody . Weird .

"I think it's time you met your new neighbors"
My mom replied .

"Sure but who was you talking too ?"

"What do you mean ? I wasn't talking too anybody"

She was..

I hope I could clean this cut soon but first I had to meet our neighbors .

I recognised our neighbor as the police officer which I presume is Henry's dad .

"Amber this is Butch Bowers . Oh and Butch don't you have son ?"
My mom stated .

I felt a pit in my stomach at the thought that Henry of all people was going to be my neighbor .

"Yes I do . Ah here he is right now"

I was shocked to see Henry cower from dads glare . He looked scared like earlier after school . Why was he scared ?

"This is Henry"
Butch said with somewhat gritted teeth .

I winced at the pain from my stomach which luckily my mom nor Butch noticed but Henry did and he didn't look proud of himself either . Good.

"This is Amber"
My mom introduced.

"We've already met I think I'm going to go back inside now"
I muttered.

"Amber why don't you speak to Henry for a bit"

It was like my mom didn't want me in the house for a certain amount of time for some reason and I bet anything it's because of that voice I heard her talking too but either way I wasn't willing to speak to Henry for a bit .

"No I'm hungry"
I lied .

"Great well Henry can go and get food with you"
Butch said .

I didn't like the look he was giving though and I could swear I heard him mutter under his breath how it would get Henry out of his sight for a bit .

However my mom had already gone back inside and I looked to see Butch's retreating figure making its way back into his house leaving me and Henry alone .

Don't worry Henry won't always be so horrible to Amber . Also who do you think Ambers mom (Marian) was talking too ?
