"You're so cute you know that?"
My breath hitched and I felt my brain melt at the compliment.
"I-I," my face became red as I continuously stuttered and I cursed myself as I knew there was nothing but innocence in the statement but my heart wanted to believe otherwise.
Amber Haze. Everything but nothing. That encompassed her. Blanketed her with happiness, stained her tongue with lies. The truth was sealed. It couldn't be admitted no matter the circumstances. Until she came. She came like a brush of fresh air, a wave of water that wanted to hug you into its clear embrace. Adrianna Vasquez chipped at her locks, grasping the clamps that held her together until they shook and threatened to break. Her pandora box was breaking, and she didnt know if she was ready for it all to spill like black pool that was sure to swallow her up.
Amber doesn't know if she can control the dam that been waiting to release, but she knows all her heart wants is to run into Adriannas arms if it does, no matter how much her mind screams at her not to.

INSIGHT ON MAI DIARY
The "Please..." I hear her whimper and I go into full panic mode. "Calm down, okay? Deep breaths. Don't hang up. I'll be with you soon. Where are you?" I rush as I grab the car key sitting on the glass table. I run into the garage with my dad behind me. "What do you need?" Dad asks "A room. A big one." He runs back inside as I hear her voice again. "Basement...blood...Elle..." I hear sounds of movement in the background and connect the dots. Elle's bleeding, or something... "Deep breaths baby, deep breaths. It's okay, you're okay" I murmur reassuring words to her, thankful that there's no traffic. Several thoughts run through my mind as I drove to her house. The last time we spoke, she could barely stand me, but now she's calling me. I feel kinda used, but now's not the time to think about that. I reach her house in a matter of minutes and shove the door open. The house is quiet, save for my heavy breathing and footsteps. I reach the basement and take in the sight in front of me.
