6: Unbelievable

Chapter Six
"Unbelievable"
-----------

I huffed as i threw myself onto my bed with a thud. I honestly hated when people decided they could tell me what i can and cannot do.. like who gave you that right?

I stripped out of my jeans and slid into my gray sweats then tied my hair into a loose pony. I slid on my bunny slippers then skipped over to my bed, climbing in and grabbing my silver laptop.

I scrolled through tumblr, liking and reposting posts as i went. I was low key obsessed with one direction currently so my feed basically consisted of Louis and Harry and their bromance.

"Ambrosia?" I heard a voice croak from my door. I snapped my head up to see Luke peeking from around the corner. I rolled my eyes then returned my gaze to my screen.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't of went off on you." Luke said as he slowly stepped into my room his ocean eyes meeting my gray ones.

"But you did, and for no reason." I huffed as i sat up leaning against my bedframe.

"I had a reason." Luke said quietly as he turned his gaze to his black socks like they were the most interesting thing in the world.

"What? You dont want me to make friends?" I asked him shooting him a cold glare.

"No I want you to make friends, just not with him.." Luke mumbled as he crossed his arms over his chest like a 5 year old.

"Hes a nice guy. You don't even know him Luke." I yelled my voice beginning to pick up volume as I threw a pillow at Luke's head. All of the sudden Luke stomped over to my bed and lifted me up to my feet. He pulled me close, close enough that I could feel his hot breath on my neck. I froze as my heart beat out of my chest.

"I've been here a lot longer than you Amber, I know things.." Luke whispered into my ear, his voice raspy and cool. I shuddered as the words left his mouth. Suddenly Luke pulled away and walked out of my room, leaving me confused and stunned. What had just happend?

***

"I'm so happy we get to eat as a family." My mom said as she sat down at the dining table with the last tray of homemade food. Tonight we were having chicken, corn and frenchfries. My favourite combo.

Luke was sat next to me, which was pretty awkward being the situation that had happened earlier. But the weird things is, he didn't seem fazed by it... at all. He still cracked his jokes and pretended to hate me. While I was jumpy and nervous around him.

"Made any new friends yet Ambrosia?" Andrew asked me from across the table as he scooped a piece of chicken onto his white plate. I could feel lukes stare burning into the side of my face.

"Yes, i actually have." i smirked as i grabbed a piece of chicken. I dont know where the sudden burst of confidence and need to piss off luke came from, but i was enjoying it.

"Who would that be dear?" my mother asked me, her mouth full of chicken. I could practically feel holes being burned into the side of my face from Lukes intense staring.

"His name is Calum, he works at the mall." i said smiling as i took a bite from my chicken. I could hear a low grunt being made from luke, which only made me smile more.

"A boy?" my mom asked as she looked up to my hazel eyes with an eyebrow cocked.

"Yeah, a boy." i said as a blush approached my cheeks.

"Is he nice?" my mom asked, suddenly intrested in my life for the first time since we moved here.

"Very." i said, causing luke to scoff ever so loudly. All eyes at the table turned to him.

"Do you know this boy?" my mom asked him here eyes full of curiosity.

"Yeah luke, do you know him?" i asked as i turned to face him and furrowed my eyebrows.

"Actually yes i do know him, hes not a good rolmodel." luke said with a huff as he took a bite of his chicken. I sat there completely shocked with my mouth agape.

"Well then i dont think you should be hanging out with this boy, Amber." my mother said calmly as she turned to me.

"You're gonna take his word over mine?" i asked in shock pointing from me to luke, she just simply nodded.

"Really?" i asked again, shock evident in my voice. She simply nodded again. I felt anger bubbling inside me begging to come out.

"You cant tell me who i can and cant be friends with." i gasped at her with wide eyes. This cant be happening again.

"Yes i can darling, im your mother." my mom chuckled as she chowed on her food contently. It annoyed me how calm she was being about this.

"You tell me to make friends.. And then when i do you tell me i cant be friends them, because a random kid told you hes a bad rolmodel whatever thats supposed to mean?" i said standing up from my seat glaring at my mother.

"Yes."she simply stated. "So andrew i think i decided on a fall theme."

"Unbelievable." i huffed before stomping out of the dining room and out of the white house, leaving a shocked andrew, luke and mom behind.

I dont know where i was planning to go, or i didnt know until i spotted the ocean. The beautiful waves called me over to the sandy cove. So thats where i am now sat atop a damp rock staring at the waves that crashed against the shore.

"Amber?" i heard a male voice crack from behind me. I turned around half expecting to see luke, but it was Calum.

"What are you doing here?" he asked as he climbed onto the damp rock and sat next to me.

"Hiding from the world."i replied as his chocolate eyes met mine. "What about you?"

"I got in a fight with my sister, so i came here." he said, his face dropping slightly at the mention of his sister.

"Do you know Luke?" i asked the boy, breaking the silence that came over us. Calum looked shocked at my question, and he didnt reply.

"Do you Calum?" i asked him once more turning to face him.

" yeah i do. " calum replied,looking down at his dangling feet.

" how do you know him? " i asked as i placed my hand on his arm to tell him it was okay.

" we go to the same school, we used to be best friends. " calum said,his eyes meeting mine once again. They were full of sorrow, the happy glint i always see him them gone.

"What happend?" i asked him, looking up at him with sincere eyes.

" we got in a fight... I slept with his girlfriend.." he mumbled. I opened my eyes wide and stared at the boy in shock.

"Please dont be mad.." calum added again sadness laced in his words, i couldnt be mad at him.. Not when he was in a mood like this one.

" im not, we all make mistakes its only human." i said my eyes falling apon the sunset in front of us.

" thank you. " calum said as he rested his head on my shoulder.

" for what? " i asked him looking down at his plump lips.

" for understanding. " he replied lifting his head off my shoulder, glancing from my lips to my eyes.

We slowly leaned in until his chapped lips met mine. I felt sparks through my whole body as we moved in sync. Before i knew it he pulled away. We only kissed for a few seconds but it felt like hours.

"Im glad i ran out tonight." calum said as a stupid smile approached his lips, causing me to giggle.

" me too. " i replied as i rested my head on his warm shoulder and watched the sun set.
