Amber point of view ~
"Why are you crying Amber? Tell me what happened." She said looking at me. I just started at her with tears in my eye. Then her eyes widen, she lets go of me and started shaking her head.
"No. NO. NO. Tell me nothing happened to Aria. Tell me she's ok. Please. Please tell me nothing happened..." She said. I didn't answer. Instead more tears came out.
"WHAT HAPPENED?!" She yelled shaking me.
Then the guys came rushing out.
"Oh my god what happened Amber?" Michael asked. I didn't answer. It just made me cry even more. I walked away then I felt someone tugging my arm. I looked up, it was Luke.
"Come with me." He pulled me to the back of the restaurant.
"Why did you pull me back here?" I sobbed.
"Shhh." He said. Then he hugged me. Tight. I couldn't resist so I hugged back. Tears started rolling down my cheek. Then I found myself holding onto Luke crying.
"Shhh. Its ok." He comforted me. Then we pulled apart.
"Tell me. What happened." He looked at me. I looked into his eyes. They were so beautiful.
I can't tell him what happened. But I don't want to lie either.
"Luke. I -I" I sigh not knowing what to say.
"I can't tell you."
"Why not?" He asked.
"Because. I just can't. I'll just hurt you. Just. Just stay away from me." I walked away.
I walked back to where everyone was. Audrey was crying and Ashton was comforting her.
"Audrey I want to go home."
Then she looked at me. She stood up and wiped her tears away.
"Guys we're gonna go, we'll catch up with you guys some other time." Audrey said bye to them, then we went home.
When we got back to the dorm I threw my things on the ground then went to sleep. I don't want to think about what happened. I want to sleep and wake up not knowing anything. I wish none of this never happened. I wish I didn't know anything about the situation. I wish I never called that number in the first place. But the other thing on my mind right now was Luke. Why did he hug me? Why would he care? Why was he so nice all of the sudden? I found myself thinking more about it, then I slowly drifted off to sleep.

I woke up and heard noises. I looked at Audrey's bed and she wasn't there. It was dark already. I heard talking in the kitchen. So I got up and went to the kitchen.
Everyone was there. Audrey was there. The guys were there. What the heck are they doing here. Everyone was talking.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Oh um the guys came over to see if you were ok." Audey told me.
"Well I'm alive aren't I?" I walked to the bathroom. I heard Audrey sigh then grabbed my arm. She dragged me into the bathroom then closed the door.
"What happened today." She asked.
"What do you think happened?"
"Amber why are you so difficult. Just tell me what happened." She said. I stared at her for a while then spoke up.
"I got a call from...Aria." That's when tears started coming out. "I answered and all I can hear was her screams. She was screaming for help. what I don't get is, is why was she calling. Why does she have her phone?" I was balling my eyes out. Then Audrey started crying. I hugged her.
"Audrey. You can't tell them what's going on. You can't tell anyone what's happening in our life. We're not supposed to tell anyone." I said. Then she nodded.
"What do we do? About Aria. What do we do about the person that's calling us and he's following us. He knows where we live. He knows what we're doing. He's watching us every move...What are we gonna do Amber? I'm scared..."She cried on my shoulder.
"I don't know. We just have to wait for the next call." I stated. Then she nodded again.
She was about to leave but then turned back.
" The guys want to go out for dinner." She said.
"Sure let me um fix myself."
I looked at myself in the mirror. I look like a mess. Mascara running down my face. My dark circles are ugly. My puffy red eyes. Ew. I'm a hiddeous monster.
I reapplied my makeup. I decided to wear the same thing I was already wearing.
I walked out of the bathroom and walked into the kitchen. Audrey was talking to Ashton. Michael and Calum were talking to each other. And Luke. He was talking to the girl that lives next door. I guess she's going to dinner with us too. Then Audrey saw me and smiled.
"Amber ready to go?" She asked grabbed her things. I just nodded. I grabbed my phone that was on the counter and we left.
"Guys let's go get pizza." Michael said and everyone agree. So we walked to the pizza place. While we were walking I noticed everyone in their own conversation so I was left out. Whatever. Then I started thinking about this afternoon. When Luke talked to me and hugged me. Why did he do that? Why would he want to comfort me? It just makes me wonder.
I pushed that thought aside cause we were at the pizza place.
"Hi! How many?" The waitress asked.
"Uh table for 7."
She then lead us to a large booth. I was the last one in, which made me sit next to Luke.
We just ordered a large pizza and I guess we'll all share it. Everyone was talking I was just in my own little world. I kept thinking about Aria. Why did she call. What made her yell for help. Then it got me thinking what did they do to her. Oh my god. What if she's...
But my thoughts got interrupted.
"You ok Amber?" Michael asked. I looked at him and smiled.
"Of course why would you ask that?" I tried my best to hide the fact that I'm scared to death.
"You seem out of it. Plus what happened today?"
"Um I don't really wanna talk about it." I stated. Then I started to look around.
I noticed this guy looking at me from a distance. He looked old. I gave him a confused look then he smiled.
what?
He quickly got u and left...
That's when my phone went off.
Everytime my phone rings I jump a little because I know who's calling.
I looked at it unknown number
I looked at Audrey and she was pale.
I scooted over a bit so I wasn't so close to everyone. Then I answered the call.
"Hello Amber."
"What do you want." I asked in a whisper tone.
"Well Aria did give you that message this afternoon right?"
"What did you do to her?" I was scared. I looked at Audrey and she widen her eyes.
"I didn't do anything...yet. Something will happen...soon.
I called to tell you and Audrey that you have a job tonight."
"Just wait for my next call..."
Before I could reply the call ended.
I sighed then put my phone away in my pocket. I looked at everyone and all the attention is on me. What is happening?
