Chapter Selector

When you woke up you saw that Derek was still sleeping beside you and you were still in his arms. You yawned a little and pried yourself from his grasp. You stood on the cold floor and stretched.
"Morning."
You turned around and saw Derek sitting up and stretching his arms. He smiled and you saw his bare chest again. You turned away and tried to occupy yourself with finding an outfit in your closet.
"Should I be flattered?" Derek asked, walking up behind you and gathering you into his arms. You just shrugged and he seemed to recoil.
"What?" you asked turning to him.
"Don't."
"Don't what?" you persisted.
"Don't put distance between us again. Emotionally, I mean. I slept beside you all night. I did nothing to throw trust back into your face."
You sighed and he stepped past you and into the closet. He pulled out a short black skirt and a striped black and white T-shirt.
"Will I ever get to wear pants?" you asked.
"No. You are expected to look nice around my family."
You sighed and went into the bathroom. You took a shower quickly and changed just as fast.
Soon after you walked out and Derek lead you out by the waist.
You saw everyone who lived there in the living room watching TV. Blake smiled at you and you smiled slightly.
"Now then, since everyone's up, let's go do something."
"Like what?" Raychel asked, looking at you.
"Maybe the mall or something? A movie?" you said.
"Well, I for one hate movies. Let's just go to the mall." Val said.
"I don't care." you said, looking away from her. She was so disgusting to look at. Why pretend to be someone's friend?
"Okay...Shall we go?" Derek asked. Everyone nodded.
Val and Mack went in Mack's car and you went in Derek's car with Derek, Raychel, and Blake.
When you got there you stayed separate from Val and Mack. You talked mostly to Raychel as Blake and Derek talked.
"Come on! Let's go to Hot Topic!"
You loved that store the most. You had met on of your best friends from your old school there. But you'd never see her again. She was dead. She had always been unstable, but she committed suicide soon after you had moved. Lisa had always been a bright person though, which had never made any sense to you... But she was finally gone. You had both talked about it frequently, but she had been the one to go through with it. But you had no doubt that if you had to live this life, you'd probably end up like her. It was a bit ironic the dream you had. You had been put in the wrong place. Lisa had killed herself, not you...
When you walked into the store you remembered exactly where you met her: by the AFI posters. You could see her then, staring up at them and thinking which one was best.
"Which one do you think is best?" she had asked you.
"Well, personally I like the one right in front of you" you had honestly answered.
"Yeah! I like that one, too. But I think their symbol is really cool. They should make it transparent on top of one of their group pictures. That'd be awesome."
"I know!"
From then on you'd had a whole conversation and had learned that you both went to the same school, but had never paid attention to each other. You had been friends ever since, well, until then.

"Amber? Are you okay? You're crying." Raychel observed.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. I just remembered...nothing." You wiped your eyes and walked to the posters.
"Which one do you like?"
"Same ones as you..." you whispered. "I miss you. I'm sorry."
You walked over to the Green Day posters.
"Hey! Which one do you think is the best?" a girl in a Good Charlotte shirt asked.
"Hmm? Oh... I like the Rolling Stones one. I think Mike looks the least freaky."

She laughed.
"Yeah, but he's great anyway, am I right?"
"Oh, yes. But Billie's better.

She smiled.
"Hey, I'm Elissa. What's your name?" she asked.
"Amber. So where do you live?"
"Oh, um...you wouldn't know it...I live really far away. You wouldn't believe me. What about you?"
"Oh...I have no idea."
You really didn't. Where did Derek live? Transylvania?
"Well, who are you here with?"
"Hmm? Oh, I'm here with Derek, Blake, and Raychel. Val and Mack are out somewhere else."
"Wait, Derek? Derek Kasumi?" she asked.
"Yeah...Do you know him?"
"Know him? He's my cousin! And besides that... Everyone knows him!"
"I hadn't known about him until I met him..."
"Well, that's because you...your aura...you're a human...?"
"Oh god. You're a vampire aren't you?"
"Well, actually half."
Am I the only human left? Did everyone else die? you thought to yourself. You let out a sigh.
"Oh..I see...So do you live with him and his family?"


"I visit. But do you?"


You sighed.


"Yes..."
"Oh, so you're Amber?"
"Yeah."
"Well, Amber, I was planning on coming over later, but maybe I could hang out with you guys and go when you go back?"
"I guess."
Just then everyone came up.
"Hey, Elissa!" Raychel hugged her and she hugged back.
"Hi, Darry Queen!!"
"Why does everyone call me that?" he asked with a sigh. Elissa only smiled. "God, you must be Satan." She smiled innocently.
****
Before you knew it, it was noon and you were heading back. It had been eight when you left. Elissa followed in her car. When you got there everyone started talking.
"So this is THE Amber, right?" Elissa asked.
"Yes" Derek answered.
"What do you mean 'THE Amber'?" you asked.
"So when's it happening?" she asked, ignoring you.
"A few months."
"WHAT?!"
Derek looked to you.
"The wedding."
