Chapter 2: Pushing Everyone Away

A/N: I will admit the first chapter doesn't stand-alone well. I won't update this fast in the future (a couple of reviews could speed it up), but I wanted to get readers interested. Please review. Please please please review.

Disclaimer: I don't own Ember McLain.

"I need to make her think I'm a perfect gentleman," Andrew told the salesman. "Do you have anything good for a first date?'

"Yes, right this way. We carry a cute, but plain, bear. All men who buy this come back asking for advice on a good second date present," the salesmen persuaded.

"Sold," grinned Andrew.

"Mom, Andrew's a perfect gentleman," Ember defended.

"But what if he wasn't. Next time, at least tell me when you're on a date. I don't even need to meet him," Mom pleaded. "It's for your safety. Since your father left us, I don't think I could loose another member of my family."

Ember decided to leave, before her mom broke down. "Bye Mom, I have too go to school!" she yelled behind her as she slammed the door.

By the end of the week, Ember had fully cut herself from her mom and Nicole. The only person she had left Andrew, and they continued to get closer as he showered her with gift and she bathed him in flirty compliments.

A/N: Review please! I need to know whether or not to start something else. I have more ideas!
