HIS

CHAPTER 6

AMBER

Unlike other days, I woke up with a heavy headache and a bad stomach that sent me running to the toilet and letting everything I consumed last night out.

Washing my mouth when I was done, I took a good look at myself in the mirror before I dragged myself back to bed again.

Slipping myself back into the sheets, i lazily layed on my side and allowed myself to close my eyes, but that was soon ruined once I heard a few knocks from the door.

Groaning in exhaustion and in no mood for anything, I got off the bed and opened the door to see who in the world wanted me to cuss them out for not letting me be.

Taking a step back, I closed my eyes and then opened my eyes again to properly see who was in front of me, and to my surprise it was JJ.

He allowed himself in as he walked in with a glass of water followed with some pills and a sandwich. Nothing was clicking to me until I took a good look at my surroundings and realized that I wasn't in my room, nor at Ty's house.

"Close the door" JJ said as he put the plate on the bed drawer followed by the glass of water and the pills.

Without question, I did what he asked me to before he sat on the bed and looked at me with a soft gaze.

"Should I be worried that I'm here?" I asked starting to wake up a little more.

"Nah" he responded softly. I could tell something was bothering him and I was pretty curious but I didn't want to push at it because we were not on that kind of level with each other...

We stayed in silence for a few seconds before I finished contemplating with myself about asking him.

"You don't seem here, mentally. Everything okay?" I found myself asking.

"Cute" he let out laughing to himself.

"Did I say something wrong?" I asked in confusion.

"Your health is not at a hundred and your worried about what's going on with me?" JJ responded standing up.

"There's a billion things wrong with me and you being so kind to care and check on me, it's gonna get you hurt" he added as he walked towards me.

I stood in silence not knowing what to say. I was feeling a mix of emotions as he came closer to me and finally, looked down at me.

"Don't let these streets hurt you Amber" was his final words before he left the bedroom...

Once he left, I leaned my back against the door and exhaled a little bit before I inhaled again. My eyes then slowly wondered to the food and pills he left in my room and that's where I found myself going.

I found it really cute that he took his time to actually bring me something, although I didn't want to think much of it because at the end of the day, I was still gonna find myself eating something and taking something to down the headache that I was having.

After finishing up my food and taking the pills, I took everything back to the kitchen and washed my plate. In the process I tried to remember events from yesterday but I took a big L on that one.

Drying my hands off, I figured that I should just start my day considering that I was already up and out the room. Walking back to the room, I headed over to the bathroom to brush my teeth, but I soon realized that I didn't even have a toothbrush nor a wash cloth here.

I let out a big sigh before taking myself back out the room, and upstairs to go look for JJ. This house was pretty big, and it did have quite the number of rooms...
