@Invisibleky3 HI!! I'm so happy you liked my silly little story. So, I've been dying to talk about this, but i was originally going to write five stories in what i was going to call the 'new love' series: texting with sloane and parker, poetry with andy and vincent, letters with clara and mark, records with bea and carmen, and books with anya and levi. that way i could do full back stories for everyone and it would be nicely wrapped up. alas, lost the writing spark but i do still have such a big spot in my heart for bea.
so, here it is: bea, as i'm sure everyone could pick up, is gay. she, however, had a very disapproving mother which gave her a lot of doubt about herself. but still, she was pretty open about it around people and eventually found out that amber was in the closet and had a thing for her (i think the idea was that they had a project together and there was a lot of lingering glances, soft touches, etc). they eventually started too 'date' - but that's where it went downhill. Amber was extremely insecure about Bea's confidence, and was possessive to a dangerous point - but the moment they were in public, bea didn't exist. and if she did, amber's friends would be mocking her for being a lesbian and amber's excuse for being a part of it all would be that she was scared of coming out and bea never wanted to force her to come out so she stayed silent. she lost a part of herself in amber. Sloane didn't know all the details, but she did know a woman had taken advantage of bea's feelings and caused her to crumble in on herself. a lot more awful stuff was supposed to go down but that was the most of it. eventually though, bea meets a tattoo artist called carmen in a record store, and sweet carmen helps bea peace herself back together and live how she always wanted to.
i hope that clears up why everyone dislikes amber (as just a genuinely mean person) and why sloane hates amber more!
lots of love my dear!
