CHAPTER SEVEN: (There's Gotta Be) More to Life

"Amber!"
Amber awoke to the sound of her sister's voice. It was the next day, she had gotten home from Ashley's late and wished that she could have slept a little bit longer.
"What?" Amber asked, sitting up.
"Oh my gosh!"
"What, Riley?" Amber asked her sister. "What's wrong?"
"Nice shiner." Riley pointed to her sister's eye. "Who did you get in a fight with?"
"I fell." Amber lied. "Now go away."
"Whoa," Riley said. "Calm yourself. It's time for school!"
"I'm... sick." Amber said, pulling the covers over her head.
"Right." Riley said. "You better be ready in an hour!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And she was. Amber went to school and hung out with her friends, mostly Spinner. It was the same drill for a long time until a problem arose. A problem that she let pain her for the longest time, until she decided to tell everyone. Before it was too late.
3 Months later...

"Hey girls!" Amber said, sitting down at the lunch table with her tray.
"Hey," Paige responded. "Nice lunch."
Amber looked down at the one apple on her tray.
"Not hungry I'm guessing?" Hazel asked.
"Actually, no." Amber replied. "I have to talk to."
"About?" asked Paige.
"I'm moving." Amber blurted out.
"What?" Paige asked. "Your leaving? Where to?"
"California," Amber explained. "Riles auditioned for the lead role in an upcoming t.v. show and got it. We have to move to L.A."
"No," Paige complained. "You can't leave, your too cool."
"Thanks, I guess." Amber said. "But I have no choice. Don't worry I'm finishing off the school year."
"There's only three weeks left!" Hazel exclaimed.
"That's true." Paige said, stubbornly. "You might as well leave today."
"Hey!" Spinner said, putting his hands on Amber's shoulders. "What are you girls talking about?"
"About how Amber..." Paige started.
"Nothing!" Amber interupted. She gave Paige a look as if saying 'shut up!'.
"Okay," Spinner said. "See you later then."
After Spinner walked away, Paige looked at Amber with a confused expression.
"I'll tell him later." Amber explained. "I will."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was the end of the day, Amber was looking for a book in her locker, which made no sense since her locker was extremely neat.
"Hey." Spinner said, walking up to her.
Amber closed her locker and looked at him. "Hey." She faked a smile.
"What's wrong?" Spinner said. "You've been acting weird all day."
"Nothing," Amber lied. "I just lost my text book for science."
"You can borrow mine." Spinner suggested.
"Okay," Amber said. She took his hand and they walked out of the school together. Amber and Spinner walked home everyday together. Finally when they reached Amber's house, Spinner kissed Amber.
"See you tomorrow." He said.
"Wait." Amber stopped him. "Come inside, I wanna talk to you."
"O...kay." Spinner said nervously. "That can't be good." He followed her into her house and into her bedroom.
Amber closed her bedroom door, she walked over to Spinner who was laying on her bed.
"Spin..." Amber said. "I..." She looked down.
"Amber?" Spinner said. "I love you."
Amber looked at him. She crawled on top of him and smiled. "I love you too."
Amber kissed him passionatley on the lips. She pulled off his shirt and continued kissing him. He started unbuttoning her shirt. They lost themselves in the moment...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Amber?"
Amber opened her eyes. She wasn't sleeping, just relaxing. She was laying in her bed, under the covers. Spinner was next to her.
"Yeah Spin?" She asked.
"I don't know about you." He said. "But that was the best conversation I've ever had."
Amber laughed slightly. Then she remember what the converation was supposed to be.
"Spinner..." She said in a serious tone. "I'm moving to Los Angelos."
"What?" Spinner sat up and looked at her. "Your kidding right?"
"No," Amber said. "In about a month I'm moving."
"How long have you known?" He asked.
"Three months." She admitted.
"What?" Spinner exclaimed. "I can't believe this." He stood up and put his clothes on.
"Riles got a job there." Amber pleaded. "I have no choice."
"You don't pull people close to you," Spinner said. "Just to push them away!" He stormed out of her room and left.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~**~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that night, Amber was still lying in her bed. She changed into her pajamas and got up. She walked out of the house and sat on the swinging chair on the porch.

Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
And why can't I let it go

Amber sat there, thinking about her life...

There's gotta be more to life...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me
Cause the more that I'm...
Trippin' out thinkin' there must be more to life
Well it's life, but I'm sure... There's gotta be more
(Than wanting more)
