10: I'm Just Tired

((TRIGGERish WARNING))
Chapter Ten
"Im just tired."
-----

"I had a great time, thanks Calum." i said to the boy infront of me with the ruffled hair and swollen lips from our previous actions, we were now back at my house on my doorstep.

"Its no problem, i just felt i needed to take you on a proper date." the boy smiled at me before leaning in and placing a delicate kiss onto my cheek before he turned around and skipped back to his car.

I smiled to myself before turning around and entering the grand white house, that i still couldnt seem to call home.

"Where have you been young lady?" my mother stormed as soon as i closed the door behind me. Behind her i could see a nervous Andrew and a smirking Luke. I shot Luke a glare then returned my gaze to my mother. "Well?"

"I was out with a friend." i mumbled staring down at my worn converse, that have been through so much.

"What friend?" she asked me sternly as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Ambrosia Mae i said What Friend?"

"Nobody you know." i said as i looked up to her my hazel eyes scanning over her angry features, she wouldnt get this mad at Luke if he missed dinner. "Why does it matter? Luke misses dinner sometimes."

"I dont care what Luke does." My mother screamed at me as she took a threatening step towards me.

"Sharon..." andrew started in a soft voice only to be cut off by my mothers stern words.

"Andrew, why dont you and Luke head to the family room for a movie. I need to talk to my daughter real quick."she said turning around and giving the two boys a calm smile before turning back to me and shooting me a look that could kill. I looked over to Luke before he left, he was smirking. That bastard wanted this to happen.

"Whose a bastard?" my mom spit at me as she cocked her eyebrow. I need to stop thinking out loud...

"No one." i mumbled looking down to the tiled floor of the mud room.

"Now, who were you out with?" she asked me once again eyeing me from head to toe.

"Calum." i whispered to the ground as i felt my eyes become hot and wattery.

"I didnt hear you, Ambrosia." my mom told me, her voice showing zero mercy.

"Calum. Calum Hood. I was out with Calum Hood!" i yelled as tears ran down my face, my mothers face still remaining ice cold as she glared at me.

"You disobeyed me? You wouldve never done this if we still lived in the other neighborhood. I think this Calum kid is turning you bad Amber." my mother told me a judgemental look plastered on her face.

"You dont even know him.." i whispered to her as tears dripped onto the floor.

"I dont need to. This girl you're becoming, i dont recognize her. You are not my daughter." she told me her words hard as stone as they slapped me in the face.

I felt my heart stop right then and there. Where was my mother? The one who loved me and cared about me no matter what? Who was thing girl who was telling me i wasnt her daughter?

"Now go to your room i cant stand to look at you." she spat out before turning around and leaving me in the mud room all alone, tears running down my face.

I ran into my room, my vision all a blur as tears ran down my face. I had never even thought about harming myself until this moment. Harming myself was all i could think about. How i could easily jump out the window infront of me and lift a burden off my mothers shoulders. How i could take my razor and slice thin lines into my wrist with ease. My suicidal thoughts were interrupted by a shaky voice.

"Amber?" the voice squeaked out. I turned around to see Luke, a shocked look on his face. "I didnt know she'd go off like that.."

"Of course you didnt." i mumbled before dropping down onto my knees as fresh tears rolled down my cheeks.

"No no no, please dont cry." luke pleaded before he ran over to me and engulfed me in a hug. I cried into his shoulder, most likely staining his shirt with make-up.

"This is all my fault." luke mumbled into my hair as he rubbed circles into my back. I leaned out of his chest and whiped my cheeks.

"No its not, i chose to go." i whispered as i stared down at my converse, they always looked worn to me but now they just seemed bruised and torn.

"Amber?" luke breathed out as he looked into my eyes, trying to read them.

"What?" i whispered back, staring into his blue eyes that were full of worry and regret,i kind of felt bad for him.

"Promise you wont hurt yourself.." he said. I didnt reply i just stared down at my cold boney hands before he spoke up again. "Promise me Amber."

"I promise." i whispered, looking back up into his eyes that seemed to be flooded with relief.

"Is there anything you want me to do?" he asked me as he grabbed my hand a rubbed circles on my thumb. Why Luke was suddenly being nice to me..? i assume it was only out of pity..

"No...i think im going to go to sleep, Im just tired.. Really tired." i told luke as i got off my hard floor and made my way over to my comfy bed.

"Okay, i'll tuck you in." luke whispered as he followed me over to the bed. I could tell he'd rather not 'tuck me in' but he felt guilty as if he felt he owed me this, which he didnt. This was all my fault.

I crawled under the white blankets and layed my head on the white pillow. I closed my tear stained eyes and whispered a thank you to luke, who was piling blankets onto my fragile body. I felt him leave a tender kiss on my cheek before I drifted into darkness, not a scary darkness but a happy one.
