Chapter 6
Amber hardly ever cried. Sure she pouted and whined sometimes but she never cried until now. Her mother had just slapped her hard but she was already crying before she did that. Her mother had been yelling and calling her names ever since she kicked Penny out, and it really hurts when your own mother is calling you a bitch and a tramp like hers was doing. It was like catching her with Penny was making her crazy, or crazier then she already was. Her mother who once looked at her with hope and love was now looking at her with hate and disgust.
"I can't believe this! You could have at least had the decency to be with a guy, but no! Do you know how bad it makes me look if people knew my daughter likes girls?" Velma cried. Amber couldn't believe her mother was thinking of herself right now, but she guessed she shouldn't have been surprised. She was sure everything her mom did for her was to satisfy her own ego. "Is this why you got over Link so fast? How long have you been messing around with girls? How many have there been? You and Tammy are really close are you and her messing around, too?"
Amber turned around and closed her eyes. She couldn't face her mother anymore. She was so upset she didn't know what else to do. "You look at me Amber Elizabeth Von Tussle!" Velma screamed at her. Amber turned around and faced her mother looking into her cold blue eyes. "Now, you tell me the truth! Have there been other girls?"
"No, Penny is the first. I like guys but I just like her, too."
"Great, that girl has turned you!" Velma said shaking her head. Amber wanted to defend Penny and admit that it was mostly her fault but her mom was angry enough. If only she hadn't of convinced Penny to lie on the bed with her, she wouldn't be in this mess right now.
"You can't enter the pageant anymore. No one wants a gay Miss Teen Baltimore! And you can forget about that modeling contest, too!" Velma said as if that was a punishment. Amber held back a smile, if she had of known that all she had to do was make out with a girl to get out of all of those dumb pageants she would have done it a long time ago.
"You are grounded until I can figure out what to do about you. Don't leave this room and no calls either!" Velma said and grabbed Amber's pink phone. "I'm going to call that girl's parents to and give them a piece of my mind! How dare she try to seduce you! What kind of parent raises their child to do something like that?"
Amber thought about how crazy Penny said her own mother was and then cried "Mom, please don't call Penny's mom! She'll kill her!"
"Shut up Amber! Don't you say anything else to me!" Velma said and left the room slamming the door behind her. Amber sat down on her bed and cried for Penny and for herself.
She had been sitting in her room for a couple of hours before her mom opened the door again. Amber sat up on the bed expectedly. "I've called that girl's mom." She said sternly. Poor Penny! What was going to happen to her? "What did she say?" Amber asked.
"It doesn't matter. It's not like you are ever going to see her again. Now, pack your things." What was her mom talking about? Why did she have to pack her bags? She wasn't going anywhere!
"What?" Amber asked
"You heard me. Pack your things. You are moving away." Amber got off the bed and asked "Moving where?"
"For now, you are going to South Carolina to live with your grandparents to finish up the semester at the school in their area and then next semester you are going to boarding school in Switzerland." She started crying again. She was sending her away! How could her mother do this to her?! She loved Baltimore she lived here whole life. She didn't want to go to South Carolina and she sure as hell didn't want to go to Switzerland! "Mom, what about the show and my friends?"
"You should have thought about that before you were with that girl! Now, pack your things. You leave tomorrow afternoon." Velma said and left the room. Amber sat on the floor for a minute. She couldn't believe her mom was going so far. She was taking this too hard. She grabbed her small suitcase. She packed a couple of her favorite dresses, some of her make up, her night gown, and a doll, she had ever since she was a child. Yes, she was packing but she wasn't moving away. She was leaving this house and hopefully she will never see it or her mother again.
