Cold Hearted//Jack Johnson

Chapter 5.

Johnson's POV>>

The party was still going, I've had one beer.
Amber's still in her room right now, I want to be up there with her, cuddling, talking about our lives, but I can't.
"Hey, Johnson! Time for truth or dare!" Jack called me over to a group of people sitting in a circle, at least 3/4 of the group were drunk or high.
The game went until someone said my name.
"Truth or dare?" The drunk, giggling girl said.
"Um dare." I can't have them calling me a wimp if I choose truth.
"Um," she stops to giggle then continues, "tell the person you like how you feel about them."
My heart sinks.
I stand up and run upstairs.
"Amber! Amber! Open your door please!" I shout.
I have to get away, Jack will kill me.
I run out the door and into the woods.
I slow down a little so I don't run into a branch.
What is that?
It looks like a flashlight?
It's Amber.
Here I go.
"Amber..I-I-I think I like you, a lot." I say.
"J-Jack?" Her voice is so quiet it's almost a whisper.
"I-I had to tell you. I was dared." I half lie. I was dared, but to tell my real feelings, I just told her those weren't my real feelings.
Will she hate me now?
She pushed past me running through the woods, like she's been out here before.
"I'm sorry." I whisper.

Amber's POV>>

"I-I had to tell you. I was dared."
My heart rate increased, how could he do that to me.
I needed to run, so I did.
I climbed up to my window and got inside. I couldn't breath, at least it felt like I couldn't. I put my hands over my face and felt the hot tears. Am I really crying?
How could he say that? I would've liked it more knowing it was a lie.
I hate him.
I really do.
Time to be someone different.
Moving the chair and unlocking the door I walked out of my room.
Good, Johnson's not down here. I wouldn't be able to see him.
"Jack! Jack!" I shout for my brother.
"Amber! You never usually come down here!" He smiles and hugs me.
"Well, things change."
I don't exactly know why I'm down here, but I can't be alone.
I wrap my arms around my brother again and sob into his shoulder.
"Amber? Are you crying? What's wrong?" He questions me.
"I want to tell you, but privately, can we go to the place?" I ask him.
He nods and we walk outside. The air feels good against my hot face.
Once we get there I immediately start to talk.
"Who dared him?" I ask.
"What are you talking about?" Jack asks.
"Who dared Johnson to say that?" I ask, a little more clearer.
"Say what?" He keeps looking confused.
"Come on, Jack! Who dared him to say he had feelings for me?" I say louder.
"Wh-what? No, no, no, he was dared to tell the girl he had feelings for the way he felt, so, he-he likes you?"
I don't know how to feel, scared for Johnson, or happy for myself.
