Practice
I pulled out my knife, and started walking towards Blake. I just need to get him out of the picture then August can be my prince.
This... this doesn't feel right. Should I kill him? I don't know. August needs to be the prince.... but not like this.
He looked back and saw me. I managed to put the knife away just in time.
"Hey Amber!" He looked back and waved.
"Hey."
"Are you following me?"
"Of course not."
"Ok. Well I got to get home soon, have a good night. Oh and congratulations on getting the part in the play you wanted." He said.
"Thanks, you too..."
"Eh, I knew I was going to get it. I mean, I am perfect at everything I do." He said jokingly and flipped his hair.
We both let out a small laugh then went home.
The next day at school Blaze came in with a sad look on his face. He's usually all laughs and smiles, I've never seen him upset like this.
"Hey guy's." He sat down and said.
"Something wrong?" I asked.
"Yeah actually.... I have to go to my cousins graduation party."
"What's so bad about that?"
"The party is the same day as the play. I tried to convince my parents to let me do the play instead, but they said no. I'm so upset about that. I'm almost an adult but my parents still treat me like a baby."
"That means August can be the prince!!!" I yelled.
"Yeah I guess he probably could." He said.
"Oh, sorry Blake I know you wanted to be in the play. But life can be a bitch sometimes."
"Yeah, tell me about it."
I was so happy to hear that August could be the prince. I'm so exited for the play! It's going to be so romantic! I can't wait to tell August that he can be the prince.
I snuck up behind August at lunch and gave him a hug from behind.
"August!!!" I yelled.
"AHH!!" He yelled even louder than me.
"August guess what!"
"What?!"
"You can be the prince in the play!"
"O-Oh, that's great..."
"Something wrong?"
"Um.. no it's nothing! Don't worry about it."
"Ok. Well you can come to my place tonight so we can practice our lines if you want."
"Sure that sounds like fun."
School is done for the day and August is coming over. We held hands as we walked to my house.
"Ok we're here, make yourself comfy. I'm going to go change into some comfy clothes."
August's Point of View
I sat down on the couch and waited for Amber to come back.
"Hey August." Bella walked in and said.
"Oh, hey Bella."
"How you doing?"
"It's doing alright, Amber invited me here so that we can memorize the lines in a play that we're in."
"Oh yeah? Well I'm going to go shopping. You two don't get too crazy while I'm gone."
"No promises." We both laughed then Bella went shopping.
Then Amber walked in wearing a black tanktop and pajama pants. It reminded me of that week we lived together.
"Ok you ready?" She asked.
"Yeah let's get started."
My part didn't have many lines. I just walk up on stage at the end, say a few lines, then kiss her while she's laying there.
We've been practicing lines for about an hour now and I just remembered something. Who are Amber's parents? She just lives with Bella. I don't know if I should ask her. Does she even remember her parents?
"Hey Amber?"
"Yeah what's up?"
"Do you remember your parents?"
"..." she didn't say anything.
"Amber?"
"Don't worry about them..."
"Amber where are your parents?"
"AGHHH!" she put her hands on her head and screamed as if she was in terrible pain.
"AMBER?!" I pulled her close to my chest and held on to her tightly. "Calm down Amber!"
We sat there for about 30 minutes while she cried onto my chest. That's the last time I'll bring up her parents.
"I'm sorry..." I said.
"It's ok..."
"Do you want me to leave?"
"No.." she grabbed onto my shirt. "Don't leave me... stay the night."
"Ok."
Not that long after that we fell asleep on the couch together.
