at first sight
chapter six; part two
“She’s pretty.” I smile. “Her eyes match yours.”
“Ha, everyone says that.” He smiles.
“It’s true.” I look back to Chace. I see him stand up, and walk over to his mom. She walks over, and I stand up.
“You must be Ember,” Her scratchy voice says. “You’re gorgeous, hun.”
“Thank you,” I laugh. “It’s nice to meet you.”
“Nice to meet you too! Chace has said a lot about you.” She nudges my arm sarcastically. I laugh, and I feel my face burning. “It was nice meeting you, but I have to get to work. See you tonight Chace.” She smiles, and walks into the kitchen. The young waitress walks out with our food. After we’re done eating, we go for a short walk back to the beach. W
We meet up with Jake and Britt. “Hey,” Jake says. “I was just leaving to get ready for training. You going tonight?”
“I totally forgot.” He turns to me. I shrug my shoulders. “Yeah, let’s go.” He kisses my cheek and walks away with Jake, talking about football. Britt sighs, and tells me she can’t stay. She walk along the edge of the beach to grass, and onto the road. I decide to walk home. I open the door, revealing my mom on the couch, with Nicholas.
“Mom!” I holler. She jumps, and looks up from Nicholas.
“What?” She snarls.
“Seriously?” I run upstairs, and slam my door. I lay down on my bed, with my face shoved into my pillow crying. I want my dad. I want to leave. I want to take Britt, Jake, and Chace, and leave. I pull out my phone, and call my dad.
“Hello?” A low voice picks up.
“Dad?” I smile.
“Ember?”
“Dad! I miss you so much. Come get me, please. I want to see you. I don’t want to be here. Mom met this guy, and I don’t want her to be with him. I want her to be with you, and me, and we can be a family again, please.” I cry into the phone.
“Ember.” He starts. I sigh, knowing this isn’t going to be good. “I’ll never stop loving you, or your mom. I just want you to know that we just have our differences, and we’ll never be together. I’m sorry.” I can hear his voice shake, and I don’t want anything but to be with him.
“Dad, can I come visit you?”
“Hun,” I brace myself for his lecture. “It’s against the agreement, but trust me, if it was my choice, then I’d have you live with me.” I drop the phone onto my bed, until I hear the dial-tone again. He doesn’t even want me, does he? I shut my phone off, and lay back in bed.
“Ember...” My mom opens the door a crack. “We really need to talk.” She sits on the edge of my bed, her hands shaky.
“About what?” I sigh.
“Nicholas.” She reaches into her pocket, and pulls out a tiny ring.
“No...” I look at her. “Listen mom. I told you once, and I’ll tell you it again. I should be more important than some guy. I don’t want to accept him, and I never will. I’ll find a way to move in with dad. I don’t like where he’s leading you. You never drink, and now the fridge is filled with different alcohols. I’m scared for you mom. I know you can do better.” I stop talking, and walk out to the roof.
“I love him Ember.”
“You said you loved dad too!”
