Ethan's POV
It's been about a week since Jack came over. We all talked and decided it was best for Amber to just stay here. Her and Grayson have been getting closer which is fine but she's mine. She's also getting a lot better. She's not as scared and we can touch her and all. But the bruises still hurt so we do have to be careful. But yea, everything seems to be getting back to normal.

"Hey Ethan!" Gray yells.
"What?" I yell back.
"Come down here!" He says so I get up and walk downstairs. I see Amber and Gray sitting down on the couch.
"Yea?" I ask sitting next to Amber.
"I wanted to talk to you guys for a second." She says. I smile and nod.
"So as we all know, we haven't been to school in a while." Oh god I know where this is going.
"And you guys are popular and have a reputation. I just want to know if you guys plan on going back to school and acting as if nothing happened." She said worried.
Me and Grayson both look down. She gets worried and moves to a different couch.
"Okay, well I guess that answers my question." She says hurt.
"No Amber of course we aren't going to hit you again. Why would you even think that?" Gray asks

"I don't know. I've been thinking about it for a while. I just don't know if you guys would or not." She shrugs. I get up and kneel down in front of her.
"Don't you ever think that we would hit you again. You don't ever have to worry about us hitting you or bulling you ever again." I say softly.
"Okay. I was just scared to ask because I didn't want to know the answer." She says
"Amber we love you to much to ever even think about hitting you again. Please don't ever be scared that we might." Gray sighs.
"Okay I'm sorry for worrying about it." She smiles.
"Do you plan on going back to school soon?" I ask.
"Well yea, I think it's time we get back to normal. I called and I'm going to start next week since it's Friday."
"Are you sure you are strong enough for that?" Gray asks
"Yea I think I am." She smiles.
"Well I'm glad. I can't wait." I say kissing her cheek. I turn around and see Gray staring at me. Jealous much.

Ambers POV
Well I'm glad I got that out of the way. I haven't cut in a while and I haven't even thought about it so that's good. I'm stronger and feeling better from the incident at the park. I miss the guys though. I wish we could move in with them.

"Hey guys? What if we go over to the boys' new house?" I ask
"I don't see a problem in that." Gray says.
"Yay! I'll go get ready." I say getting up and going to Ethan's room. I grab some ripped skinny jeans and a baby blue crop top. I change and fix my hair (pictures above). I put on some light mascara with deodorant and perfume. I look at myself in the mirror and for once I like what I see. I'm happy. I walk out of the bathroom and get my white baby blue vans and put them on. I walk down the stairs and grab a bottle of water.

"Ready when you guys are." I smile. They both just stare at me.
"It's rude to stare you know." I laugh. Grayson looks down blushing but Ethan just smirks.
"I want food, you guys want food?" I ask.
"Hell yea." Grayson screams.
"Let's go!" I say getting up. We all get up and go into Grayson's car.
"Amber rides up front with me." Grayson winks. Ethan just scoffs. We get in and make our way to KFC. We all got chicken strips and fries. Then we went to sonic and got strawberry lemonade.
"Hey guys?" I say
"Yes princess?" Gray says.
"Can we stop at the Apple store please?" I ask sweetly.
"Yea of course." Gray says. We drive to the Apple store and I tell them I'll only be a minute. I come out with the iPhone XR in yellow. Ethan pulls his out and smiles big.
"Look we have the same one." He says. We laugh and drive to the boys house.

We pull up and it's huuuuuge. Like holy cow Jack wasn't playing when he said it was like a mansion. I step out of the car and Nash runs over to me.

"Amber!!" He says twirling me.
"Nashie!!" I giggle.
"God how have you been? I've missed you so much." He says
"I'm good. I've missed you too!" I say hugging him. We walking inside and he shows me around.
"Where's Hayes?" I ask excited.
"In his room. I'll take you up there." He smiles. We walk up to his room and he's sleeping. Nash runs over and jumps on him. I stand in the door way laughing. Hayes eventually wakes up and pushes Nash down on the floor. I burst out laughing even harder causing Hayes to look my way.
