Your Life Goes On Without Me…
"Dean's been avoiding me ever since he came back from visiting his grandmother. I've tried asking him what's wrong, but he dodges my questions, and every time we go on dates, it feels… forced. I just want him to tell me what's wrong, is that too much to ask?" I semi-ranted to Kitty at lunch; Laurie was sick with a cold, and we were forbidden from seeing her by our parents, lest her aunt and uncle would do heaps of tests on us to see if we were "ghosts", which we're not.So, I was having lunch with just Kitty and Johnny, the latter seeming to be more unlucky than normal(I could swear I saw a shadow following him, a shadow with glowing green eyes).
"I dunno, Amber. Maybe try finding out why he's avoiding you?" Kitty suggested.
"Kitty, I don't want to lose Dean's trust completely. If he finds out that I'm trying to find out why he's avoiding me instead of directly asking him, he might become more distant," I told her.
"Amber, I'm sorry to say this, but I think you're denying to yourself that Dean might be doing something behind your back. So please, think about taking up my suggestion."
I sighed. I didn't want to betray Dean's trust, but if he won't answer my questions… I guess that it was my duty as a concerned girlfriend to find out was wrong with my distant boyfriend.
"Alright, I'll take up on your suggestion; I'll do it after school."
Little did I know that just a few hours later, my heart was going to be completely crushed.
…
Few Hours Later
After school, I called my mom to tell her I was going to Dean's, so that she didn't freak out. I also said goodbye to Kitty; she and Johnny were going on a weekend-long road trip on his bike, without either of their parents knowing. I was worried, but they had gone on trips like this before, and they had come back home alright.
I mean, what could happen to them, right? Right?
Anyway, I was walking down the street that Dean's house was, a mental battle going on in my head. On one hand, I was desperate to find out why Dean was avoiding me, and this was a pretty logical way to do that, but on the other hand, I felt like I was betraying Dean's trust by what I was about to do. But didn't he betray my trust before this moment, by avoiding me?
I shook my head, clearing it of my mental war, and continued walking.
"What if it's nothing bad? What if I go to Dean's house, only to find there is absolutely-" I started to ask myself, before I stopped myself as I froze.
"Nothing?" I finished, my heart breaking into a million pieces at what I saw.
Because, on the porch, was Dean… kissing another girl.
"Dean…" I whispered, tears threatening to surface to my eyes, "how could you?"
A sob tore its way out of my throat, the tears starting to pour down my face as I began to cry. Dean must have heard me crying, and he looked in my direction…
… But I was already running from the guy who had forever broken my heart.
…
Later
A couple of hours later, I was back home, running past my mother and straight to my room. I collapsed onto my bed and cried my heart out, the heartbreak I had experienced in that horrible moment an ache in my chest.
Dean had cheated on me. He had cheated on me. And that girl… she was obviously from Los Angeles. She was the reason Dean hadn't called me while he was away, because… because Dean was cheating on me with her.
"Laurie was right; Dean was cheating on me," I whispered, my mascara running down in black streams on my face as I continued to cry from the sheer betrayal I was feeling.
He cheated on me. Laurie was right after all.
Eventually, I had cried myself to sleep, thinking, Could my life get any worse?
However, with just one phone call, it could.
Well, a short chapter, but I hoped you liked it!
Yes, Dean's cheating on Amber. Turns out, Laurie was right on that remark and that he was suspicious after all. Now it's only a matter of time till Amber's fateful death and her rebirth as the ghost rockstar we know, love, and definitely remember, Ember McLain.
REPLIES TO MY AWESOME REVIEWERS:
AstroGravityPhan:… Thanks? I think. And yeah, poor Ember. As in this chapter, this was the moment when her life got even worser. And don't worry, Ember won't kill you for giving her a nickname; she's been sued for doing that before.*grins.*
EleahBlue: I know! Considering how Jack sometimes acts like a little kid when he's an adult, he'll act even more like one when he's a teenager. I love complicated family trees too; who doesn't?
Thank you! I'm hoping you like "Frostbitten" so far! And yeah, caravanning is awesome; except that where we were, there were lots of birds, and they were really noisy. We went to a caravan park. I know I wasn't clear on that remark, but we just went to a caravan park when we were caravanning.
Aurora Marie Williams: Thank you! And yeah, family trees are awesome. One of the OCs in one of my stories has a really complicated family tree; she has a stepfather, three half-siblings, and after her mother and stepfather died in a fire, she and her half-siblings were adopted by the Fentons… I think I have an obsession with complicated family trees. Well, you found out the answer to that question in this chapter.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and the next one is going to be updated a lot faster, I swear! And, you'll find out the reason for the phone call that Amber mentioned in the next chapter…
