Two Worlds Collide (part 2)

The girls turned onto Amber’s street, still hand in hand, side by side. Amber led Hanna through the doors of a two story apartment building, and up the stairs to the second floor. They walked to the left, coming to a halt in front of apartment 2B. Hanna started to let go of Amber’s hand.”It’s okay, my Dad doesn’t care. He’s most likely drunk anyway.” Amber said as she grabbed Hanna’s hand, holding it again, tighter than she had been holding it.Hanna didn’t know what to say. Amber unlocked the door and the two girls walked into the small apartment. Amber pointed Hanna in the direction of her room and told her she would be there in a few seconds. Hanna walked into Amber’s room. The walls were barely visible, but what could be seen beyond the endless amounts of posters, was painted bright red, just like Amber’s motorcycle. There were posters of everything from motorcycles, to cartoons, to girls in bikinis, and some music posters including a Beatles poster, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Katy Perry, Aguilera, and Glee. Hanna had thought her and Amber were completely different, but they both liked the same music, and as they would find out later by talking, the same television shows, as well as other things they had in common. There was also one wall covered with overlapping drawings, that looked similar to the sketches Hanna had seen in Amber’s notebooks during class. Hanna sat down on the low bed, and waited for Amber.”I’m going to Hanna’s house tonight, so I’m just here to grab some Yakacık escort things.” Amber yelled into the kitchen while walking towards her room.”Please don’t go anywhere baby girl. I can’t lose you. If I did I don’t know what I would do anymore.” Said Amber’s dad, his speech slightly slurred due to alcohol. Amber shut her bedroom door, ignoring what her dad said. “He does this all the time. He has never been the same since my mom died. All he does anymore is drink.” Despite how tough Amber looked, Hanna could see right through her, and could tell she was in pain, and on the verge of crying. Hanna walked up to Amber, and lifted her head up, kissing her softly on the lips. “It will be okay.” Hanna whispered into Amber’s ear, hugging her tightly. The door swung open, causing them to jump, and Amber’s dad stumbled into the room. “Where are you going Ambie? You’re going with this girl? Who the hell is she? How far is her house, it better not be on the moon. I’ll drive you so your safe.””Yes I’m going with this girl, her name is Hanna, I met her in school. She only lives a few blocks away, so we can walk back, we will be fine Dad.””Okay, be careful, don’t get in an accident. Come home soon, you know how I get when I’m alone.” Amber’s dad said as he turned, walking on wobbly legs back into the kitchen.”Sorry, he gets pretty bad sometimes, he has good days and bad days, and unfortunately today is not a good one for him.” Amber said, while throwing Atalar escort bayan clothes into a bag.”It’s okay, I understand. My brother died a few years ago. So if you ever wanna talk… or not talk, I’m here.” Hanna said, softly gazing into Amber’s watery eyes. At that moment, Amber wanted to say “I love you” to Hanna, but she didn’t want to scare her. It was too soon to say it. Little did she know, Hanna was thinking the exact same thing, as they stared into each others eyes. Amber broke the eye contact. “We should go before my dad gets worse. I’ll call my aunt to come check on him later.””Okay.” Hanna followed Amber out of the room. They walked past Amber’s dad, out of the apartment, without a word, all the way back to Hanna’s house.————————-The sun was beginning to set, as Amber and Hanna sat in Hanna’s back yard, staring out into the sky. Hanna was leaning her head on Amber’s shoulder, her arms wrapped around Amber, connecting on the other side, holding her tightly. They were not really talking much, both of them thinking about all the events of the day. Amber was the first to break the silence. “She died in a car accident. She was in the hospital for three years in a coma, before we finally pulled the plug.”Hanna squeezed Amber a little tighter. She looked up at her face and noticed a single tear, illuminated by the glow of the sun. She gently wiped it away, her hand lingering on Amber’s left cheek, before slowly Escort Kadıköy pulling away. Hanna leaned her head back down on Amber’s shoulder, tears beginning to pour like waterfalls from her sparkling blue eyes. “He was only ten years old. He had cancer.” Hanna said in a shaky voice. “Shh baby, it will be okay.” Amber replied, rocking Hanna back and forth, as tears were steadily falling from both sets of beautiful eyes. After a few minutes of crying, both girls calmed down. “You know, I blame myself for my mom getting into the accident. It was the day that I came out to her. I told her I was a lesbian, and she left the house without a word. I will never forget the look of disgrace she gave me before she shut the door to the apartment.” Amber continued; fighting back more tears. “It’s not your fault. Just like I couldn’t know my brother had cancer, you couldn’t have known. You didn’t do anything wrong.” Said Hanna, in the strongest voice she could find through her sobs. The two girls held each other, cuddling until the sun disappeared, as darkness began settling across the sky, the stars and moon growing brighter, as the colorful pinkish purple sky turned darker and darker.—————–The girls walked, arms still around each other, into Hanna’s house. Since it was hot outside, Hanna suggested they should sleep on the pull out bed on the couch, because the air conditioner in her living room made the room a lot more comfortable than Hanna’s stuffy bedroom. Both girls changed into long t-shirts and short shorts, ready for bed. Amber helped Hanna pull out the bed and put sheets on it. They both got into the bed, but neither of them was tired. They stayed up talking, laughing like they had been best friends forever, sharing stories, and secrets about themselves.
