Ariana's POV
I woke up on the couch in the lounge. My head pounding, when suddenly I saw Amber coming down. She was holding two Advil pills and a glass water.
Her eyes seemed red..
Has she been crying...?
"Here." She says, handing me the pills and water. I sit up and take them.
"T-Thanks." I stuttered, since when do I do that?
"Do you remember what happened last night?" She asked.
Did I? I don't think so. Well I can't remember anything to be honest.
"Um...no." I replied.
"Okay." She says, relief clearly shown on her face.
Why?
Did something happen?
I get off the couch but when my head turned down, just from the corner of my eye I see a massive red slash on Amber's foot.
What.
The.
Fuck.
Happened?
"Amber, what happened to your foot!?" I gasped, quickly taking hold of her foot, but she quickly pulled away.
"N-Nothing...I was um...well when you were out last night, I accidently broke a plate and some glass got in my foot, but don't worry I took it out." She says.
I couldn't tell if she was lying or not. But this time I'll let it slip.
"Well..um I'm going upstairs to wash my face and stuff, I'll be down in a minute to make you breakfast." I say.
"Okay." She replied. She's being very quiet today...
Amber's POV
What I told Ariana about the plate incident was an absolute lie. It was actually when she was drunk yesterday and she dropped the alcohol bottle, she didn't know but it dropped right next to my foot, making cuts. I didn't want to tell her though. I just couldn't...
what is she doing to me?!

I went to Ariana's music room Be said I feel like whenever I sing I calm down a bit. I've had these lyrics stuck in my head for quite a while. Basically a whole song I made up. (Pretend Mercy is by Amber in this.)
I went over to the drum set and started playing the tune.
Ariana's POV
As I was coming down the stairs I hear the drums being played from the music room. I quietly see what's happening when I saw,Amber playing then. Wow, she is actually amazing..
Then she started singing. I hid behind the wall so she won't see me, and I listened to what she was singing.

You've got a hold of me
Don't even know your power
I stand a hundred feet
But I fall when I'm around you

Show me an open door
Then you go and slam it on me
I can't take anymore
I'm saying baby

Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart

I'd drive through the night
Just to be near you, baby
Heart old and testified
Tell me that I'm not crazy

I'm not asking for a lot
Just that you're honest with me
My pride is all I got
I'm saying baby

Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me
I'm a puppet on your string
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart
Would you please have mercy, mercy on my heart

Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice
Consuming all the air inside my lungs
Ripping all the skin from off my bones
I'm prepared to sacrifice my life
I would gladly do it twice

Please have mercy on me
Take it easy on my heart
Even though you don't mean to hurt me
You keep tearing me apart
Would you please have mercy on me
I'm a puppet on your string
And even though you got good intentions
I need you to set me free

I'm begging you for mercy, mercy
Begging you, begging you, please, baby
I'm begging you for mercy, mercy
Ooh, I'm begging you, I'm begging you
Suddenly I see break down. I couldn't help it, I just knew that song was about me, I had to go and comfort me.
"Amber!" I rushed to her side trying to hold her but she wouldn't let me. I grabbed onto her tightly from her shoulders making her look at me.
I pulled her into the biggest bear hug of all time.
I knew from then, I couldn't take care of her, I have to take her back to the orphanage, I just can't do it.

I'm sorry Amber, but we are gonna have to say goodbye...
