~Amber's POV~
"You're worthless. You're nothing. No one loves you. You're alone." A voice in my head whispered.
"Zac could have killed you, you saw the knife glitter in his pocket, Amber." My conscience hissed.
I scream and sit up, drenched in sweat and tears.
It wasn't a dream.
This is real.
No, it's not real.
Dammit!
What the hell is wrong with me?
I yelp when the door handle twists.
"Angel, what's wrong?" Mark asks gently.
He called me Angel, his nickname for me when we were kids.
I shake my head, if I speak I know I'll just burst into tears.
"Alright, don't speak." He says softly, reaching out to touch me.
I flinch away automatically.
"Angel, it's just me, you know I won't hurt you."
I watch him reach out again, this time I let him touch me. He sits beside me and wraps his arm around me. I lay my head on his shoulder and cry silently.
"Amber, you're my best friend. I love you like a sister and I'm telling you this because of that. Zac loves you, yes he's an idiot, yes he has to grow up, yes he's a douchebag and yes he doesn't deserve you, but he does love you. He doesn't have anyone but me and you."
"And Avalon and Caden and this baby." I choke out.
"Maybe not, if he loses you, he loses them too, they'll go back to that orphanage. If you leave, you take his baby too." Mark says sadly. "
