Hey guys! Sorry for the wait! I got grounded yesterday. Here's chpt. 2! Hope you like it!

Amber and Nina made their way back to their stateroom. They had seen that April had already unpacked for them.

"April," Amber started, "Make me some tea." April nodded a solid 'yes' and headed for the kitchen.

Amber sat down on the couch and twirled a piece of her hair, looking deep in thought.

"Are you alright, Miss?" April asked, looking at the clearly depressed girl.

"No, I saw a boy today,"

"Oh, did he catch your eye, Miss?" April interrupted.

"A little, but the thing is, I'm getting married in a month."

"That's not lucky," April started, "If you need anything, I'll be in my room."

"Thank you, April." Amber said, taking a sip of her tea.

Amber didn't know what to do. She decided to take a walk around the ship. She quickly wrote Nina, who was in the bath, a note saying where she would be and walked to the front of the boat. She took the pins out of her hair and combed it out with her fingers. She liked the feeling of her hair blowing in the wind, for some reason, she's always liked it.

The eighteen-year-old stood motionless on the bow of the ship, the wind blowing her blonde hair to the back, there was silence. She felt so free, but she knew she wasn't. Nina treated her more like a daughter rather than a best friend. She loved Nina, though. She also didn't want to marry Mick. She hated him. He would call her 'worthless' and 'stupid' and no one would even care. All everyone cared about was how rich he was. This was the first time she had silence for more than five minutes. Her silence then ended when one of the boys she ran into earlier came up behind her.

"Miss, are you OK?" the boy asked. Amber turned around.

"No. I'm not OK. Now, get lost!" Amber shouted at him.

"Still as bitchy as earlier. What's wrong?"

"My Lord, haven't I told you to go away?" she scowled.

"I'm not leaving this spot until you tell me what's wrong!" the boy demanded.

"MY BEST FRIEND TREATS ME LIKE A SIX YEAR OLD AND I'M GETTING MARRIED TO A MAN I DON'T LOVE! IS THAT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?"

"Yes, thank you. By the way, I'm Alfie Lewis." he said, holding out his hand.

"Amber Isamara Millington." Amber said, accepting his hand. A small smile appeared on her face. A smile appeared on his face, too.

"Can I show you something?" Alfie asked her.

"What? We just met five minutes ago!"

"So?" Alfie said, taking Amber's hand and walking to the back of the boat.

"This is crazy!" Amber squealed as Alfie picked her up.

"You see that? Look how gorgeous that sunset is!" Alfie said.

"My Gosh. It's quite breathtaking!"

After some conversing with Alfie about who knows what Amber's expression turned from a huge smile, to a worried look. In her note, she had told Nina she would be back before nightfall. Nightfall was an hour ago.

"I best get going," she said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Lewis." she scurried off.

"Amber! Wait..." Alfie shouted after her. It was too late, she was already gone.

Voila! How was it? More Amfie in the next chapter! And maybe some... Jerina?! Please review, in my book reviews are hugs!

Love,
