I am sure as hell, Kevin is gonna do something to Travis for hurting Amber like this. I just hope, that stupid doesn't do something disastrous and loose her before getting her !
I sat beside her and she was crying. I couldn't see her cry.
" Amber, I know me saying don't cry won't help you reducing your pain or anything but darling trust me, it's not gonna make you feel better either. Please, don't cry. I can't watch you cry. I am sure Kevin will do something and... "
I said trying to calm her down.
" I don't want anyone to do anything. Just leave me alone and I'll be alright ! But none of you is ready to leave me alone. Why ? "
Amber yelled frustrated.
" Whether or not you think of us but we think of you as our friend. And friends don't leave friends alone when they are sad !
We want you to smile. I know it's the last you wanna do right now; but darling, it is not gonna earn anything ! "
I said softly.
" Don't you think I know that ? But right now I WANT to feel the pain it is causing me ! Is it so much to ask for ? I know you guys wanna help me out of it but... I... I really think I should be... "
Amber was so hurt and frustrated she couldn't even speak properly.
" Look, I know how it feels to loose something really precious to us. I've lost so many precious things, trust me I have !
But holding on to them never works. You have to let it go and move on. That's how life works ! But if you'll say, you are gonna hold on to it like forever; it is just gonna bring hopelessness and sadness and grief nothing else ! "
I said remembering the pain it caused me whenever I lost someone precious to me with the time.
" Ethan I am just a normal human ! I am not a vampire not an original nor am I a hybrid. I can't process the way you guys process what happens in your life.
My way of seeing things and handling emotions is way different and... "
Amber said defending holding on to the grief.
" It is not about being a human or vampire or an original or a hybrid, it's about being a person with clear opinions about things !
I had my clear opinions about everything in my life. And I had them even before I was turned into a vampire ! For a moment, just think about it from my point of view. Forget I am a vampire.
I have always looked at the situations differently. Do you think in my existence of 3 thousand years, I haven't lost my loved ones ? I haven't grieved ? I don't miss my friends or my lovers or my relatives ? "
I asked her.
" 3 Thous... 3 thousand years ? "
Amber said super shocked at my age.
" Yes ! I have lost many of my friends and loved ones and my family members. I do miss them. But missing them and doing nothing but grieving for them are completely different things !
Imagine they'd be looking at us and watching us sad, won't it hurt their souls ? And imagine them watching us missing them; but us being happy, won't they be less miserable ?
It's on us what do we want them to feel watching us ? If we can't make them happy, at least we could try not to make them sad or even worse, miserable seeing us doing nothing but grieving for them !
Think about it like if, they were here with us, would they have wanted us to be sad or happy and moving on with life ?
I know it is hard, very hard to keep ourselves together and move on. But darling we can't be in present holding on to our past and never letting it go ! Am I right ? "
I asked caressing her head.
" I guess, you are right. I should... "
She stopped talking as we heard a loud noise of breaking something.
" What was that ? "
Amber asked confused.
" Wait right here, I'll see what's wrong. "
I said.
" Don't leave me alone, I am scared to be alone. Please. "
Amber said holding my arm.
" What if there is danger out there ? "
I asked.
" I don't care, just don't leave me behind. "
Amber said gripping me harder.
" Ok. Stay behind me. "
I said.
I slowly opened the door. There was more sound of breaking stuff from the living room. We slowly went there and found Kevin breaking the stuff there.
" Kevin ? "
I called him but he didn't listened and continued to break the table and chairs.
" Kevin ! What are you doing ? "
I yelled at him.
He still didn't responded. I rushed to him and caught his hand before he broke anything else.
" Kevin ! What's wrong ? Why are you doing this ? What happened ? "
I asked shaking him vigorously.
" That bastard escaped ! "
Kevin spat.
" Who ? "
Amber asked confused.
" Travis ! "
Kevin said clenching his teeth.
