"Amber!" muffled shouting vibrating through my bedroom door. It was mom, i groaned as i squinted letting the light peek through. i sat down slowly collecting my consiousness slowly.
"Amber! Get your Lazy butt off the bed and get ready." Another muffled shout vibrate through my door.
I groan an "okay" and finally opened my eyes entirely.
i stood up slowly with still sleepy eyes and a yawn, i walked into my bathroom and took a look at the mirror, "can i ever look any more hideous?" i ask myself with a scoff regaining some energy.
I looked at the mirror with a big smile seeing how my beautiful brown wavy locks turn to an afro of a mess.
I put the palms of hands above my eyes and shook my head awake.
i went ahead and took a nice warm shower for just 5minutes to not waste too much time. I looked straight at the mirror again and took my hair comb from the counter to slowly comb my hair. After 2 whole minutes of combing, i opened the 2nd left drawer to pull out a hair dryer.
i dried my hair for 10minutes straight as my thick hair decided it wanted to take longer than needed to dry.
My hair's ends is still a bit cold, but i just pulled out a curling iron and curled my hair.
After a few i prepared my white and red uniform for school, i wore the white buttoned shirt with my school logo and a red knee length skirt, with high white socks and some black shoes.
i wore a red flower headband and my heavy dark blue floral back pack. I finally came down stairs, "Took you long enough" My mother stated after taking a sip of her coffee.
"sorry mom, my hair took longer than expected to dry.." i responded with an innocent smile. "Here is your Lunch by the way, and some pancakes for breakfast.
"Thanks mom!" i sat down excitedly. "So, how was hunting?" my mother asked to cut the silence.
"It was pretty great mom, we hunted deers" i responded after swallowing.
"since you're 122 years old now, i decided i should find you a man, a perfect mate." my mother stated with a quirky smile. I practicaly choked on my pancake. i grabbed a glass of water and chugged it all at once, as i almost too harshly placed my glass at the table.
mom flinched, "WHAT!?" I shouted. "Dont shout at your mom." she said angrily. "im sorry but, what? You know i dont believe in such thing as love. It is so manipulative to people's minds, it makes you do crazy things for such person ugh." i argued.
"too bad a set you up on a date with 6 wolves, if you dont like them, then we wil fine someone else" she responded with a smirk. "Mom! oh come on. Cant i just stay as a lone wolf?" i asked bored.
"no, i dont want my baby all alone." she said while filling my glass with some water. "Well i have you." i tried to prove a point. "Im not gonna be with you forever darling. Your mother is 250 darling, i had you at 128 what do u expect?.. I will only live for 1000years baby, you and your love will live longer together." She explained sweetly, but i didnt budge.
"Oh cmon mom.." i groaned. "Please for your mommy" she begged like a child. i groaned "Fine, but if these dates dont go well i dont want another one" i finally gave in.
It has been officially 3days since the arranged date announcment and it is the day for my first date. Not the first one i had my entire life but the first person on the list. My first date is for another time, anyways i was dressed in a beautiful purple dress with some flower prints.
And my locks in beautiful curls, i honestly felt over dressed and uncomfortable since i barley- Im sorry i mean i DON'T know the guy im set up a date with.
so i arrived at the location he sent mom and it was a big luxurious restaurant and i was shocked. "Is this guy rich or what?" i thought in my head. I wasnt really pleased considering he spent so much money for just an hour date.
You see, luxurious big and expensive restaurants, beaches or private plane rides for a date isnt really my thing. Yeah sure it will be nice once in a while, but i would go for a more simple and wholesome bonding for a first date. Might be weird or odd for some people but i perfer it and so what.
i enter the restaurant and surprised that it was empty and there were a bunch of candles and rose petals on the floor like a proposal or honeymoon thing.. "You would make a perfect bride" a male voice cut the silence.
"Yeah.. No" i responded. i pulled out my phone and rang mom, "have you arrived yet sweetie" she asked, "Cancel this date immediently" i said immediently.
The blonde male in a suit said "What why? We didnt even have a date yet", "Listen dude, someone else is out there for you but not me. I mean marriage immediently? That is the first thing you say? I mean "beautiful" , "you look gorgeous" , "Wow" would be more flattering than "you would make a perfect bride" we havent talked yet, havent known each other yet, dont even know if we're gonna work out and u talk about marriage and next is why is this empty, and why is there rose petals and candles? This is not our honeymoon and you are not gonna propose it is a first date. if you need tips to move a girl text me, cuz you need it" i said straight away.
Completely forgetting mom is still on the line she reaponded, "Honey, you would make a perfect bride is just another way of saying beautiful.", "honestly mom, i dont need this" i groaned. My date tried to speak but i signaled him to keep quiet.
"Honey, eversince the incident with your so-thought-mate, it is blinding you about what love truly means." my mother tried to explain her reason.
"don't even remind me mom" i responded as a flood of pain erupted in my chest. I hung up, "im sorry" i said to my date as tears filled my eyes and i ran outside. "dang it" i heard my date groan.
I ran as fast as i could to the car and bawled my eyes out. I saw my date running towards my car, he knocked ln my window and i kept hearing his muffled voice saying "Can we please talk first? What did i do wrong" i ignored him and played my favorite music on full volume inside my car.
I locked my car door and looked away from him, i knew i cant drive at this state.. So i hopped to the back of my car and slept the night.
- - Next Morning - -
i squinted my eyes as i felt my body heating up from the heat of the sun light through my window. I sat down in the back of my car and i decided to finally come home, i checked my camera on my phone and saw that my mascara was a little messed up from crying myself to sleep..
Now you may wonder.. Why did i cry? Well...

*2years ago*
"So.. Uhm.." A male voice stuttered. "What is it Jaxon?" i asked, "I hope this won't ruin our friendship but i like you Amber.." Jaxon confessed in a low voice.
I felt blood rise from my neck to the apples of my cheeks. "i feel the same" i mumble, "C-can you repeat that??" Jaxon requests, "i feel.." i said shyly. "you feel??" he asks.. "i like u too Jax" i blurted out loud, some people looked at us weirdly. "Sorry people" i said as i pulled Jaxon away from the crowd.
"im glad you feel the same.." he whispered holding both my hands..
- - 1 year of dating (Anniversary)- -
"Babe" i called quirkily, "Baby" i called again flirtaciously. "What!?" Jaxon shouted, i flinched, "I- i just wanted to say what date is it" i responded with a big smile.
"are you dumb or is your brain broke" he responded rudely. I felt a pang of pain my chest as i saw his serious angry face.. "W-what?" i asked, "Now you're deaf? You have a phone Amber" he said pissed.
Tears filled my eyes and i decided to try and stay positive, i was just thinking maybe he is just having a bad day, and probably forgot.
- - night time - -
I opened my phone and checked the time, its 9pm. I usually go home at twelve because of work but i decided to ask for an early leave, luckily my boss allowed me to take a leave today.
I heard the door open up and i grabbed my gift immediently waiting for him to come to our room. But then i heard a female voice giggling, that.. is when it clicked, he opened the bedroom door while his buttoned shirt is being unbottoned by a jet black haired girl who is wearing some short skirt and a tank top.
I bursted into tears and threw my gift at them, it hit the girls head and she shouted, "OW, you crazy woman." , "What is wrong with you!" Jaxon shouted.
i bursted to tears, "You promised me im the only girl you will love, you promised me you will marry me, you promised to have my children and i catch you with a sl*t!?" i shouted my voice cracking.
"Well f* you because we are done!" i yelled and packed my bags. He let go of the girl and went to stop me but i heard a hard slap, i took a glance and saw she slapped him in the face. He pushes her to the bed and was about to lay hands on her face but i bolted forward and took the slap for myself.
I took his laptop and threw it at his face. I slapped him, "This, is for cheating" i slapped him again, "this, is for hurting me both mentally and physically" i punched him, "This, is for all the bs you made me believe" i gave him one hard punch, " for cheating on me, and for keeping me a secret from her."
I threw his empty luggage at his face and he fell on his back, i threw all his clothes and shoes, he stood up and called me "Crazy woman", i did not care," if you dont leave this house, i am BURNING all your belongings." i emphasized the word burning threatening him.
"you wouldnt dare" he gave me that face when you say "you're bluffing" , "test me" is all i answered while holding a lighter.
he took as much as he can and ran out, "are you okay?" i asked the girl, "yeah, im really sorry.. But are you okay in all means? Does it hurt?" She asked me in a genuine tone.
"Im okay, take care i am so sorry for the drama" i responded. "No, im sorry" she said sincerely. "Thank you" is all i responded with.
