Her side of the room was terribly plain now that all of her stuff was taken down, packed, and shipped home. All that was left was a couple bags that sat by the door. Amber twisted up her lips and plopped on her bed. It was finally time to go and she thought she was rather okay with that. At least she kept telling herself she was okay. She didn't ( Read more... )

Keeping to herself over the last few days has probably been the best thing for Amber considering the sex crazed island. But it did nothing for her. She was frustrated beyond belief and she knew Liir had to be too. So why weren't they hooking up? Sure Wednesday had been handwavily great but oh my god it was now Saturday and she was more than a touch ( Read more... )

Sitting on the floor in front of her bed, Amber was drinking. A little something in her tea. Or a little tea with her something. Whatever. She was sitting there, a medium sized box between her legs that she was packing stuff in. Personal stuff. She was getting a head start and figured sending a few things on ahead might be a good idea.

If her ma ( Read more... )

"Amber you're not gonna believe it!"

"You're pregnant?" she asked her ma, feeling snarky.

"Oh, yah, Amber, that's real funny. You know my priv--"

"No, god, ma, I don't want to hear that. What can't I believe?"

( Oh, lord. )

So while today had been fun, and she knew there was a slumber party going on tonight, she was worried about Triela.

And of course her roommate wouldn't be here, would she?

With a soft sigh, Amber went about packing a small bag for her trip this weekend. She shoved in a pair of jeans, a couple tee's, and other essentials. She was surprised that her ( Read more... )

Her family was gone which truth to tell, she was glad for. They were never going to change and only confirmed to Amber that she did not want to see herself in another ten years being just like them. Content to live in a trailer park, drinking beer, and cutting hair. It was depressing to even think about. Not that she didn't love them. She just didn ( Read more... )

Gah. No more drinking ever. It was her birthday today and she felt like shit. Not to mention the fact that her ma and Loretta were due in this afternoon. Great.

Grumbling, she headed for the showers and took a long hot one, downing some aspirin while she was at it.

Back in her room she dressed and hoped to hell she felt better real damn quick. She ( Read more... )

There was tons of stuff piled on Amber's bed. Tons. And she was standing there, hands on her hips, trying to figure out how she was supposed to carry all of it with her to take on her camping trip with Liir.

Maybe she had too much junk food. Maybe.

But they needed the flashlights and kerosene lamp. And the frying pan. They would need to cook ( Read more... )

"...I don't know, ma, really," Amber told her ma for the hundreth time now.

"Oh, come on now, Amber, I know you're wantin' somethin'. And I figure I can just give it to you when I see you for graduation," her ma said.

"Is Loretta coming too?" Amber asked.

"Yah, you betcha she is. I couldn't keep her from comin' if I tied her ass to a goddamn lawn ( Read more... )
