She Taught Me How to LOVE

Chapter 4

Amber's POV

The week went by quick and I have been trying to ignore Arson even though it wasn't easy to do so. I think he finally got the hint on because on Thursday he was also trying to avoid me. When the final bell on Friday went off everyone stood up in a rush and made there way out. The past couple of day's I have been feeling sick and everyone who knew me would ask if I'm okay. I was coughing really bad when I felt hands rubbing my back. Matt was smiling at me but his eyes held worry. "You okay?"

"Ya just a little cold." I wheezed out he knew I was lying but didn't say more he was about to talk when his phone went on and he told me he had to go. I was left alone in the hallway and remembered Jake was staying at a friends house. He always does that when I get sick he's such a germaphobe he tells me. When I turn the corner I see two people standing super close to each other and I want to just walk by them when I see the light brown hair that stands out. Arson was being pressed against a wall while Cleo had him trapped her trying to suck the life out of him. His hands were on her waist while she ran them through his hair as soon as she started going through his hair he pulled her hands down. Something in me was suffering and my chest hurt but I knew it wasn't from the coughing. I felt tears gather in the corner of my eyes and it felt weird I mean I barley knew him. Taking a deep breath like my counselors always taught me I walked forwards. I felt eyes on my head as I walked by and when I reached the door I looked back to be met with light brown eyes. Arson's brown eyes they held the emotion of guilt he was still kissing Cleo but he didn't focus on her but me. I nodded at him and turn to leave when I heard my name being shouted but I kept walking forward into my car. I glance at my rear view mirror and saw Arson standing there looking at me with eyes that begged me to stay. With one last glance I took off heading home with nothing to do during the weekend.

Arson's POV

I stood at the entrance of the high school watching as Amber leaves in her car. When I see that she is gone I turn to go back inside and get my shit. Cleo is still in the same spot I left her still gaping at the wall. When I felt like someone was watching us I looked and saw it was Amber the look in her eye held Jealousy but I only got to see it for a moment. I didn't want the image of me as a man whore even though I am one stuck in her brain. I know I needed to find her and tell her the kiss was just to get Cleo to back off. Passing Cleo she snapped out of her trance and looked at me in the eye. She glared at me with her snake like eyes.

"What in the hell was that!!!!" Her screeching hurt my ears and I flinched a little due to her high pitch.

"What did you think that was I mean you saw it didn't you." She just narrowed her eyes even more and brought a hand up to slap me. I grabbed her arm before it made contact with my skin and looked at her coldly.

"Don't you fucking dare try to smack me." I replied my voice sounding really cold. She flinched as the words left my mouth but she quickly regained her composure.

"Well it looks like you were making out with me when the frumpy whore walked by then you just ditched me and ran after her." When she called Amber a frumpy whore I got defensive.

"Don't call her that your the only whore here not her so leave her out of it got it."

"NO I will not let you kiss me then ditch me because you want to talk to her I mean you don't even like her." I stayed quite while we continued to glare. "Do you?"

I didn't like Amber that way did I no impossible I mean I only talked to her once and she has been ignoring me the past week. I did not like her she was just a girl I wanted to fuck then duck ya that's what she was. "No I don't like her." Cleo smiled instantly as I said that which made me hate myself for thinking of Amber as another fuck buddy. "I don't like anyone so don't get ideas in your head."

"Trust me Arson you will fall in love with me." I cringed at the word love. It wasn't a real word for me not anywhere in my vocabulary usage. Love was just a thing guy's said to girls to sleep with them. I had never told anyone I loved them I would never say it.

"I don't believe in love Cleo never had never will." With that I turn away before she could say anymore. Love that's a stupid word for stupid fiction lover's. I get inside my car and drive to pick up Em when I turn my side to change the sing that is playing I feel pain shoot up my side. Last night my mom decided it would be fun to throw a crack party. Someone tried throwing a table at Em when she went down to get water. I stepped in front of her to block the impact on her. The passenger seat door opens and Em get's in throwing her stuff in the back seat of the car. I stare at her she never gets in next to me.

"What" she asks clearly irritated.

"Sorry munchkin your not old enough for the front seat to the back you go."

"What you sometimes pick me up on your motorcycle do you not think that is not more dangerous." She gladly states I sigh and allow her to get into the seat making our way home I dread it. We used to be a happy family you could say until my dad got cancer and died. Mom drowned her sorrows in alcohol and drugs. The only reason were okay is because my dad was rich so grandma send's me and Em money. She knows about mom and refuses to help her or notice her at all.

I pull up to the driveway and see that the other car is not here meaning she is not here. I step before Em to get inside and open the door revealing a messy house by the looks of it mom only went to the store to buy more liquor. I knew this was not a good weekend for Em to stay here.

"Hey Em do you mind spending the weekend with a friend I don't think it's good idea for you to stay here." She looks at me like she wants to cry and I wrap my arms around her whispering promises I know I can't keep. She dosen't say anything as she pulls away and packs her bag. When she is ready I take her to her friends house talking to the parents to make sure it's okay. No one knows about my mom they just think she went crazy. I go straight to my room and locking my door shutting the world out. I get a couple of texts about going to a party but today I don't want to go anywhere. I shut my eyes planning on sleeping for a while.

I wake up to loud music and people shouting looking at the alarm clock it show's it's 5:00 am. I groan and climb off my bed. Grabbing a pair of shoes I throw them on and make my way out of my window I run to my bike getting on and driving to the clearing to watch the sun rise. I stop at a liquor store to buy a bottle of vodka with a fake I.D. Making my way up the trail on to the clearing I see a figure of a women standing in my concentrating spot. Just from seeing her gives me a weird feeling but I can't make out who she is. I step on a twig and she snaps her head back that beautiful face of her's and I knew it was her. Amber. Amber Jensen
