Merry Christmas Eve!(:
I don't own House of Anubis.
Amber's P.O.V.
After I left Mick as the hospital I drove immediately to my photo shoot. Apparently I had to meet up with the new photographer and the new designer. I walked into the building and saw a guy standing near the lighting booth adjusting his camera. I figured that was him. I walked over to him and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around to face me and I saw a guy that looked my age with brown hair that he flipped to the side like Justin Bieber.
"Hi I'm Amber, I'm one of the models and Marco suggested that I get to know you or something because I'll in most of the shoots."
"Amber?"
"Yes Amber I just told you that. And you are?"
"Amber it's me, Fabian!"
"Fabian? As in Fabian Rutte?. As in the Fabian Rutter that broke my best friend's heart and stepped on it til it crashed and shattered into a million pieces?"
"Well when you put it like that it doesn't sound very positive."
"Oh right...sorry. Fabian!"
I gave him a hug and asked, "So you're the new photographer? What happened to you becoming a chemist or scientist or something?"
"Well I've always been good with technology so me being a photographer I get to work with expensive cameras and help out in lighting booths. So...who have you kept in touch with? Obviously Nina right?"
"Yeah? And Mick, Patricia, and I ran into Alfie yesterday who kept in touch with Jerome. What about you?"
"Well...Joy is actually...Joy is actually..."
"Please do not tell me Joy's your girlfriend and she's the one making the clothes!"
Before we could answer we heard someone shout, "Fabes!"
Then a petite brunette ran over and clung to Fabian's arm.
"Joy?"
"Amber?"
We gave each other glares. Even before Joy disappeared we never really that close. When she came back she literally stopped at nothing to get Fabian back! It broke Nina's heart when Fabian broke up with her because he knew he had some feelings for Joy and he didn't want to feel like he was cheating on Nina. Then they got back together but after graduation Nina saw he still felt it so when she went to college in America she broke up with him with that 'long distance' move.
Fabian looked uncomfortable and said, "Why don't I leave you two to chat?"
He was about to walk away but I pulled him back by his collar.
"So, do you guys have tickets to Mason Sheffield's benefit tonight?" I know it was a crappy way of changing the subject but it worked!
"Actually we do. Fabes got 2 tickets from his boss and he gave 1 to me. We're going out."
I rolled my eyes and mumbled, "No shit Sherlock."
"What was that?"
"Nothing Joy. So are we going to have a photo shoot or what? Joy, you're making my clothes right?"
"Yes she is so Joy why don't you help Amber with that?"
"Sure Fabes."
She looked at me then kissed him for about a minute. They would've gone longer that if I hadn't coughed on purpose. I rolled my eyes and led Joy to my dressing room.
"So Joy, who have you kept in touch with?"
"Just Fabes. You know we're totally in love so. And I ran into Mara like a year ago but I haven't heard from her since. What about you?"
"Patricia, Mick, and I ran into Alfie yesterday who kept in touch with Jerome and they're all going to the benefit. Oh and Nina too."
She tightened the measuring tape around my waist. "Really? How interesting."
After we got done with the photo shoot I told Mick about Fabian and Joy and he said to invite them to the diner because Patricia and Nina were there, Alfie and Jerome were on their way there, and apparently Mick was inviting Mara. I took them there and when I walked into the diner I could tell it was Fabian and Joy's first time here. I walked over to the corner table where everyone was sitting. Then I could tell it was Mara's first time here too. I sat in between Mick and Patricia. Then Nina walked up to us with her notepad in one hand and a bucket in the other.
"How would you like to donate to the Salvation Army?"
Patricia got out her wallet and took out £5 and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Zak's making me go around asking for donations."
Mick took out a quarter from him pocket. Nina took the £5 from Patricia.. When she grabbed Mick's share she mumbled, "Cheap ass."
"Oh come on Nina that's all I can give."
"Uh huh, okay. I'm sure that can buy a little girl hoping for a doll a pack of gum."
I saw Jerome and Alfie laugh. Then a man came over and instead of putting in money he put out his cigarette in the bucket and walked away. The bucket began to smoke from inside. I panicked and grabbed a cup from an old man who was getting up from his seat behind me and poured it into the bucket. But that just made it worst! A fire started inside the bucket!
Nina grabbed the cup and asked, "What the hell is this?"
She smelt the cup and turned to the man. "It is 9 in the morning."
He took the cup and scurried away. I saw Mara pick up a plate and place it on top of the bucket, putting out the fire. Well at least Nina hadn't put the money in it yet. She gave the bucket to one of her coworkers and she pretended to look like she was taking our orders.
"What are we having an Anubis reunion?" She asked looking at the table.
I answered, "Yes! So what is everyone doing? I'm a model."
One by one they said their jobs. "Receptionist." Patricia.
"I'm a nurse." Mara.
"Mechanic." Jerome.
"Um..I'm a photographer." Fabian.
"Designer/actress." Joy. Actress my ass!
"Well I've made it very clear I'm a waitress." Nina.
"I'm kind of...unemployed." Alfie.
Then Mick finished, "I work at a store... a sporting gear store."
Then Nina left to take some orders and our conversation shifted to Ben.
"Wait so how exactly are you going to know who's the father?"
"You could always take a DNA test."
"On all the guys I've slept with senior year? That would cost a fortune."
Then Nina came back over. I asked, "Hey Neens, don't you know someone that works in a lab or something?"
"Yeah? A buddy of mine's dad works in a crime lab. Why?"
"Well you could ask him to I don't know test Ben's DNA with the guys we find."
"I'll ask. I guess. But don't you think it'd be weird to just ask him 'hey can you have your dad run a DNA test on my best friend's kid and a bunch of other guys to test if any of them are the dad?"
"No now go make a call."
She rolled her eyes and walked away with her phone.
