When Amber gets to the bus station she gets onto the bus heading for Fresno and sits in the very back in the last seat with just her duffle bag and takes out her ipod and puts her headphones in her ears and closes her eyes holding into her bag tightly. When she gets to Fresno she takes out her directions but asks a perfect stranger anyways then find herself a cab and gets in and gives him the directions to her dad's house. When the cab pulls up in front of Seth's house the drive turns around.

"here we are." he tells her

Amber just nods and looks at the run down house.

"oh, okay." she says

"Thank you here you go." she tells him pulling out some money from wallet and gets out with her duffle and goes up to the door and knocks and hears music and it stops and hears someone walk over to the door and opens it

"Hi Dad." she says
