Accusations
Ameril had hurried home from her encounter with Chase. The rain dripped down her face. She was hoping that her anger with the boy Faerie wouldn't get the better of her, but it seemed that all of his trust in her was nothing anymore. He didn't believe that she would still be her friend and doubted now if she ever had been her friend.
She arrived home and grabbed the ornamented doorknob and opened the door. It answered to her touch, recognizing her as a member of the family that lived there. She spun the knob so that the door would open and walked into the home. The lights were dim, so she figured that everyone was already asleep.
Suddenly the light clicked on and Ameril saw her mother sitting near the counter, her arms crossed. Her lips were pursed and she was livid. "Ameril, where were you?"
"I told you that I went to help a friend." Ameril stated, not wanting to look her mother in the eyes.
"Your sister followed you. You went to meet that boy. She said that you hugged him, but that you had an argument. She mumbled something incoherent about him breaking up with you." Ameril's mother's voice was filled with some concern.
"I told you that he is not my boyfriend. He is just my friend." Ameril stated, suddenly glaring at her mother. "We had an argument because something happened that has upset him."
"Ameril, your not to be fraternizing with humans." Her mother spit out.
"Why? Tell me why? What is the reason that you don't want me around humans, particularly boys who would just happen to be my age maturity wise. I have a feeling that there is a reason for it?"
"I have my reasons and I can't tell them to you. I can't believe that you would lie to me about the boy."
"I am not lieing. My honor, he's not my boyfriend." Ameril stated, again looking away from her mother.
"Ameril, if he isn't your boyfriend, then what are you keeping from me?" Ameril's mother asked, taking her hand and making Ameril look at her.
"Mom, have you ever had a friend who had something that was bothering him, and it wasn't something that you could talk to others about. That's what going on." Ameril then pulled away. "I am going to bed. I am going to go and see how he is doing in the morning. Hopefully I can reason with him. Please, don't try to stop me."
Ameril then went and hurried up the staircase to her bedroom, which she hadn't seen in a long time. Her mother just shook her head after her.

The next morning Ameril got up. She noted that her mother was no where to be found. She went into the kitchen and scribbled a note telling her mother that she was going to go and see Chase and that if she couldn't talk to him, she would be doing something with Nixi. She finished writing it when she heard footsteps on the stairway.
She suddenly felt herself pushed aside by her sister, who was still dressed in a nightgown. She glanced at her sister's letter, then pushed it away with disgust. Ameril placed it in the center of the counter. "Why is it that you followed me last night. Why did you tell mother what you did tell her?"
"Because it isn't fare that you get to have a secret boyfriend." Her sister stated muttering under her breath. She pushed her finger in a circle on the counter. She then glared at Ameril.
"Chase is not my boyfriend. I don't know where you got that idea from." Ameril stated, walking away from her sister.
"He is cute though. Just clutzy," Her sister stated.
This caused Ameril to turn and stare at her sister. "I can't believe that you're going guy crazy. I mean, you acting crazy."
"You don't admit that he's cute though?"
This statement from her sister caused Ameril to let out a gagging sound. As she left, she snapped back at her sister. "Whether you believe me or not, he's just my friend."
