BBSK 2G4E's A\N: Okay, so this is MaximumRideFangLover97's chapter. Hope you guys like it. I did.
Chapter 5
Ami's POV
"Amber, what's wrong?" I gasped. When we had gotten off the bus, Amber had hidden her face from everyone else, but I had noticed her shoulders shaking as we walked down the path towards the cabins, so I had waved everyone away, telling them that we would find our cabins on our own, and we had dropped to the back of the group. When we got away, she looked me straight in the face. I was right; she had been crying.
She shook her head and kept walking, mumbling something about catching up with the others. I grabbed her shoulder and spun her around to face me.
"It's Blu, isn't it?" I asked her. She nodded.
Blu Jay was Amber's best friend when we were little. They had been inseparable. Then, one day on the way home from school when we were eight, the bus they were riding rolled over onto its side. Blu had had the window seat, and had been laying her head up against the window. Her window hit a huge rock and it cracked her skull.
We had visited her in the hospital once. She wasn't doing well. The doctor's said that her skull would never fully heal, but that she would live. They were wrong. She died a week later, on January 19th. It was the worst day of Amber's life. And mine, too. I hated to see my sister so sad. She cried on and off for a week. We didn't go back to school until February because she was too depressed.
Amber and I hadn't been on a bus since. Until now.
"Ami?" Amber asked. I looked up and realized I had been crying. Amber and I both seemed destined to lose someone we were close to. Aaron had been my friend, sort of, before he went missing.
"You know, the group kinda left us behind," she told me.
"Aw, sh-" I started, only to be cut off by Amber.
"Ami! What do I keep telling you? Watch your mouth!" Amber snapped at me. I smiled sheepishly, remembering too late that she hated it when I swore.
"Oops," I muttered, running to catch up with the rest of the group. "Where'd they go?" I cried when I came to a fork in the path. I heard footsteps behind me as Amber caught up, then heard some down the right-hand path. "This way!" I said, not waiting for Amber to catch up with me.
"So that's where you guys went!" I heard Ashley yell as we got farther down the path. "They sent me to come find you."
"Yup," I said, winded.
"Oh, and one more thing, Jo keeps calling that evil-looking counselor, Arnold, a wolf-man," she added.
BBSK 2G4E's A\N: So, the person Blu is based off of didn't actually die. She just moved, but either way, this is an understatement on how I felt when she moved... \3 R&R? Please?
