Darkness was something Ambrosia knew far too well. From childhood bullying to the loss of her parents, it seemed she couldn't escape it. She hid her outgoing personality from the world. Her only real happiness came from...

I hate them. I hate both of them. They were both so damn scared. Daniel was scared of his got damn image and Eric was scared of losing him. But what about me? What about what I wanted? Did they even think for one second how this would affect me? Of course not. If they did they would have asked. But they were so damn selfish.
I hated them, but I loved them so damn much. Things were strained between us again. Eric kept his word and acted like we were all still just friends. Acted like he hadn't just swallowed his best friend and then broken our hearts.
I was done with all of it. They wanted to act like nothing happened, but it did and now we had to face it. I regretted telling Danny it was all his fault, but it kinda was. His fear was breaking us apart and it pissed me off that he didn't realize that the three of us were stronger together. Fuck that! Even if they were gonna give up I wasn't.
It had been a week and Kasey was finally having her party. The four of us had visited Justin in the hospital until he was released. He was surprised 'cause he didn't really know us, but that changed quickly. He had gotten home on Thursday but was confined to his home until his injuries were good enough to go back to school. Which sucked because finals were coming up. We all brought him his work and made our own little study group in his room. His parents told him he should've just finished out the year online when they moved, but he really wanted to play basketball so he decided to enroll here. Now though I think he should've listened to his parents.
It was Saturday and Kasey was determined to throw the best "before finals" party. Come hell or high water I was going with my boys. Together. So here I was now at Daniel's house waiting for Eric. Usually we would go to Eric's but I missed being in Daniel's space, even though I didn't like him at the moment.
"Do you think he's coming?" He asked.
"Yes. Because he can't stay away from us."
"I know the feeling."
"Then what the fuck is your problem?"
"I was scared, Ambrosia. And unprepared for these feelings. I know they're not wrong, but other people might not see it that way. What the three of us have is unconventional and I just wanted to stay in this bubble with you guys."
"It is unconventional, but not unheard of. I've done some research on it and found plenty of people in the exact same situation or something similar. Hell, some of them are even married."
His only response was a grunt. He was thinking about it and that's all I wanted him to do for now. The front door shut and we heard footsteps headed towards us. Eric walked in with a smile on his face. I tried not to drool, but seeing him in those hot pink swim trunks and flip flops did something to a girl...and to Daniel.
"You guys ready?"
We were ready all right. Daniel was in a pair of navy blue trunks with sail boats on them and I was in my maroon two-piece, ripped shorts and my handy dandy fanny pack. Yes, she was throwing a pool party and I was so excited to finally test out her pool. I was also able to see Danny and Eric soaking wet again. The heated look in Eric's eyes as he looked at us had me soaking wet.
