In the hustle and bustle of a small town there was a girl named Amber. She had red velvet cupcake hair. The biggest brown eyes you've even on someone. She also had secrets that she never told anyone. To everyone Amber was a normal city girl. She grew up in a big house, and big money. She's never once had a problem in her whole life. She has three of the best friends you could ask for, James, Carlos, and Logan. They've known each other since they were about 5 years old. She had everything you could ask for. And no, she was never ungrateful. In fact she was the most grateful person you've ever would meet in your whole life. She was also the sweetest, and might I say even most beautiful girl you would ever meet in your whole life too. She was a happy young lady; everything in her life was perfect, well for now anyways.

Across town there was young man sleeping on a bus bench at the bus station. He had dirty blonde hair, and striking green eyes that you could easily get lost in. His name was Kendall. He was probably the exact opposite of Amber. He never knew his parents. Throughout his life he's lived in about every single state in America, because of the foster homes. Kendall always has had it rough. He never got along with any of his foster parents. In fact he hated about every single one. He was always getting into trouble about everything. Since he was 18 he was now on his own, no more foster homes, and no more roof over his head. To be honest, he wasn't happy. He needed something in his life, but what?

June 29th

Today was Amber's 18th birthday. She woke up with a smile on her face. Every single one of birthdays everyone always made such a big deal about it. She knew since it was a special, everything was going to be magical.

As she walked down stairs, she heard whispers and she couldn't help but smile at the thought of what her lovely friends and family were doing. Once she reached the end of the stair case balloons were hung everywhere. Streamers were hung from the ceiling in about every color you could imagine and more. The room was over whelmed with the smell of pancakes and homemade syrup. The little red head couldn't help but smile at the site of what her friends and family did.

"Happy Birthday!" Shouted all her closest friends from all different corners of the room. She squealed and ran to hug everyone. The first one to hug her was her mom. She kissed her on her forehead then went to go finish breakfast.

"Happy Birthday." She mom said to Amber with a grin on her face as she squeezed her arm. Amber smiled at her mom.

"Thank you." She said with a smile on her face. Then she turned to James, Carlos and Logan and squealed. She ran and jumped into James arms and he spinned her around.

"Happy birthday Amber!" He said with a smile on his face, then put her back on the ground. Then she ran up and hugged both Logan and Carlos. They smiled and hugged back, kissing both her cheeks.

"Thank you guys, honestly. How can I repay you guys?" Amber asked as they all sat down at the dinner table eating the amazing pancakes her mom made. They all chuckled and shook their heads at her predictable attitude. She was always wanting to give back.

"Amber it's your birthday. You don't repay us, period." Logan said to her with a smile on his face, pointing at her his fork to her. She smiled and nodded.

Her mom soon got up from the table and then came back with a box in her hand. "This is for you." She said to Amber.

The little red head carefully took the box and opened it up. Inside the box was the most beautiful necklace Amber has ever seen in her whole life. Her mouth dropped open.

"Oh my goodness, mother. You really shouldn't have done this." Amber said towards her mother and her mom shook her head.

"Today's a special day. You deserved this." Her mother said as she held her daughter's hand. Amber carefully took the necklace out of the box and smiled. It was simple gold chain necklace, with a single gold heart with the letter A on it increased with diamonds.

Amber looked up at James, "Can you help me out this on?" She asked. James smiled at her and nodded. He got up from his chair and carefully took the necklace and wrapped it around Ambers neck softly and clipped it in the back. She smiled at James and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you James." She said with a smile on her face, and she held the necklace close to her.

For the rest of the morning everyone around the table kept up the small talk, remembering the most insane memories. Laughter rose from the table and it seemed as if everything was perfect. For Amber it was, but for Kendall. Well, that's a whole different story.

Across town there were police sirens, and who else would be running from them other than Kendall? He pushed people away while running across car tops and until he was chased into an alley. Kendall sighed and turned around to see the police coming out of the cars. The dirty blonde put his hands in the air and dropped the sack of coins he stole from the market with a smug look on his face.

"Why hello officers, long time no see. How are you on this fine day?" He asked as the police got closer. Kendall was never nervous, he always kept his cool. Even when he was begin chased by the police. That was his thing, he was known as well for never getting caught by the police.

They didn't answer his question, instead one officer bent down and grabbed the bag of coins and held it in his hands. Before they could do anything, Kendall took off running without them even noticing. He jumped over the fence and booked it.

He was out of breath and he was starving. He hasn't eaten for about two days. But, he didn't mind that much. When he was really hungry he would go to Joey's place out in the city. He walked in the back of Joey's which was in another alley, and gave a quick knock on the back door.

"Well hello! Kendall!" Joey answered the door, and Kendall couldn't help but chuckle.

"Hello Joey." Kendall said with a smile on his face, as they gave each other a quick hug. The two have known each other for about three years once Kendall's foster home moved him here.

"Would you like the usual?" Ask Joey with a smile on his face. Kendall nodded his head. Joey knew that Kendall didn't have a job, and that Kendall was homeless. So every time Kendall came here Joey would cook him a nice sandwich for free.

After about ten minutes Kendall got his sandwich thanked Joey then went off. Normally Kendall would have stayed and talk to Joey, but today Kendall needed to find a new place to sleep for a couple days. As Kendall started searching, Amber was at home starting to get ready for her date tonight.

There was a knock on the door and Amber to turn around to see it was none other than her three best friends.

"Hey guys" She said with a smile. She had her beautiful red velvet hair down to her shoulders curled. She wasn't wearing that much make-up, mostly because she didn't need to. For her date tonight she thought she would wear a tight black strapless dress that showed off her curves and more. On top of it all she was wearing black pumps which seemed to make the whole outfit complete.

James walked in the room and whistled. "You look hot tonight." He said with a chuckle and a wink. Amber rolled her eyes and chuckled.

"Shut up." She said playfully to the tall brunette, and turned her back to Logan. "Hey could you help me zip up?" She asked. Logan nodded gracefully and zipped up her dress. Once he finished she turned to all of them.

"How do I look?" She asked as she did a little twirl, giggling.

"You look amazing."
You look like a million bucks."

"You're so beautiful." They all said. She smiled at them. They were always known to shower her in compliments.

"So who's the lucky guy that's taking you out tonight?" Ask Carlos as he sat down on her bed. She smiled as she slipped on her new necklace.

"Jet." She said with a smile.

The boys all shook their heads and frowned.

"Jet? That jackass." Logan said as he sat down next to Carlos. James nodded sitting down in a chair by her bed.

"That dude is bad news Amber. And you know that." James said as he looked at a book on her nightstand by her bed.

"He can be nice." Amber said defending Jet.

"Well if he gives you any trouble tonight, you call us and we'll come right over to beat up that dick head." Said Carlos with a nod.

Amber chuckled at how these boys have always been so protective of her. "Okay I will, but for now I must go or else I'll be late." She said to them with a smile.

She headed down towards to the movies. As she was walking down the sidewalk with her purse in her hand, she saw someone walking towards her. He had dirty blonde hair and by the looks of it, he hasn't showered in days. He looked up from his feet and met her eyes. To both of them the world suddenly had become slow. No one else was in the world but them. They were lost in each other eyes. Kendall memorized all her curves and felt himself start to grow in his pants. Amber memorized his jaw line that was just begging to be kissed.

Amber first broke the eye contact by running into a pole. She heard the handsome mystery man chuckle to himself. Before she could turn around to look at him one more time, he was gone. Amber suddenly felt a bit of embarrassment by running into a pole but she shook it off. She didn't want to be late for her date tonight.

Once she got to the movies, she waited outside for Jet to show up. She realized that he was 20 minutes late. Soon 20 minutes late turned into 40 minutes late. That soon turned to be an hour late. She sat down at the bench when she realized that he wasn't coming. She picked up her phone and called James.

"James..?" She said into the phone.

"Amber? What happened?" James asked into the phone with concern in his voice.

"You guys were right. Jet's a total… ass." She saud with her voice cracking a bit.

"Okay, I'll be right there." James said then hung up. Amber threw her phone into her purse as she ran her fingers in her hair.

Ten minutes later and James, Logan, and Carlos were there. They ran up to Amber and gave her a big group hug. As they were hugging, Kendall was walking around the corner then, peeked his head and saw that, it was her. The most beautiful women he's ever seen.

They all pulled away from the hug. "I'm such an idiot. You guys were right, I knew he was an ass." Said Amber with a sad look on her face.

James nodded. "It's okay, you'll find someone soon." Amber nodded when Kendall soon butted into their conversation.

"If I were you baby, I wouldn't get my hopes up." Kendall said as her walked up next to Amber nodding his head. Amber looked up at him with disbelief.

"What's that suppose to mean?" She asked him.

"It means honey, that every girl in the whole world wants a Nicholas Sparks romance. And in reality that'll probably never happen." Kendall continued as he circled around Amber. James shoved Kendall away from her.

"Leave her alone." James said to Kendall.

Kendall only chuckled and nodded. As he started to walk away, he turned around and looked Amber in the eyes and said, "The world's a cruel and lonely place." then he turned and walked away.

Amber stared at him in disbelief as he walked away. Part of her wanted to scream at him. The other part of her knew he was right. As Logan, James, and Carlos started to walk away, she walked with them. As she did all she could think about was the mystery man with the amazing green eyes.
