Amber's POV:
Sam and I was about to turn away when Shane spoke.
"It's just a dare Amber! Did you honestly think that Sam was head over heels with you.. She can get any guys that she want.. Do you think she'll settled with a lesbian like you?"
I didn't know what to do. Sam's at my back holding my hand firmly. I wanted to look at her and silently beg that what Shane blurted out is not true. But I didn't. I can't. I'm afraid to find out the truth from her. Then I thought, If Shane is not telling the truth, Sam should have immediately defended herself. She should have stop Shane from speaking nonsense things. She didn't. I felt my hand slipping away from hers. Why? Why me? What did I do to her to deserved this? I understand Shane's hate for me but Sam's? I loved her. I still do. I then felt every strength in my body slipping away. The crushing pain in my heart is also not helping. I'm afraid that any minute my heart would stop beating because of this unbearable pain. Then I heard Mandy.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU SAY!!?"
"TELL ME THIS FUCKIN' MORON IS TELLING LIES SAM!!! TELL ME!!
Mandy asked Sam what I wanted to know. Then I heard Sam whispered my name. I felt how she wanted for me to look at her. I just clenched my fist feeling my fingernails dig inside my palm. My vision started to get blurry and I'm trying everything to control my tears.
"I SAID, TELL. ME. THAT. THIS FUCKIN' MORON IS TELLING LIES SAM!!!" Mandy shouted again.
"I.. I'm sorry.. I'm sorry.. Amber.. I.. Please look at me.. God please." Sam pleaded.
It's true. It was just a dare. Then Shane started talking again.
"I was pissed and Sam was curious. We made a good team yeah?"
"GO FUCK YOURSELF!!" I heard Mandy shouted back.
I can't fight the tears anymore. I just let it go. I blink once, twice, thrice but it didn't stop. I wanted to say something because if I didn't I might break down.
"You're heartless." I whispered with a trembling voice. Not sure for who I am telling this. But one thing's for sure I'll leave this party with a broken heart. I then walked away.
--------------------
"Amber! Wait! Please wait for me! I'm a bit tipsy.. Fuc- Will you just stop!!! Hey!!! Wait!!!" I heard Mandy running to get me to stop. I felt her tugged my jacket.
"Hey.. come on.. look at me.." Mandy pleaded. I'm still crying my heart out when I felt her hugged me.
"It's okay. You're okay. It's her lost not yours." Mandy was trying everything to comfort me. I held her close and just cried hard on her shoulder.
"How could she.. how.." I asked Mandy defeatedly.
"Ssshhhh.. Don't worry about her.. You deserved better.. She's a bi- she's not worth it." I just cried and tried to empty my tears. I can't believe Sam did that. It felt real. Every laugh, hugs and kisses that we shared.. everything felt real. I was blinded by love.
"You.. Know.. I wanted to drive you home because well.. Of your current state.. But I think I'll get us both killed if I do. Mandy started to talk again trying to make me laugh. I sniffled and smiled a bit.
"You're unbelievable. Come on. I can drive." I answered as I regain my composure.
"You sure?" Mandy asked worriedly.
"Why? Want to drive? I'm heartbroken but I still wanna live you know.." I chuckled trying to look okay for my drunk best friend. I wiped my tears and walk towards my car."
"Good. Let's go." Mandy answered.

Sam's POV
"Sofi.. Can you call Mandy and asked if they're already home and asked how's Amber?" We've just arrived home and Sofi decided to stay for a bit to talk.
"Okay.. Wait.. I'll call her." I sat on the end of my bed and looked at Sofi.
"Babe, where are you?"
"Good. Yeah.. I'm at Sam's."
"How's Amber?"
"Oh.. I don't know.. But I'll talk to her."
"Okay. Drink a lot of water before going to bed okay?"
"Yes I did.. Gosh.. I hope you liked it. Goodnight. I'll see you tomorrow."
I heard Sofi ended the call blushing profusely. Now I'm feeling jealous. Amber and I should be talking right now exchanging sweet talks and goodnights. I'm also sure that Mandy's pretty much pissed at me right now.
"So.. Is she alright?" I asked worriedly.
"No. Of course no Sam. What happened? I thought you love her? You're my best friend but what you did is not right. You broke her heart." Sofi answered truthfully. I can't blame her. Hell I blame myself for everything. But I don't think I can go through this alone. So I decided to tell everything to Sofi. I told her the truth.
"Please don't tell this to Mandy, please Sofi?"
"I won't.. but Amber deserves to know the truth Sam.. You should have included her to this decision."
"She can't.. everybody will look at her differently. She isn't like that Sofi."
"Exactly. She's not the type of person who will wreck relationships. Why do you think people will think about her like that? The people that really knows her will not believe Shane."
"You haven't seen the picture.. It's very intimate.. We're like a couple.. and.. I'm still with Clark when it happened and it hasn't been 2 weeks since we broke up - officially."
"Still. That's not enough reason for you to hurt her like that." Sofi added as she hold my hand.
"I know." I whispered. I felt like crying again. The thought of Amber hating me hurts a lot.
"Hey.. Just give her some space then talk to her. Tell her the truth. I'll get a plan to get that picture out off Shane's hands."
"Okay. Okay. But.. Do you think she'll hear me out? Will she give me another chance?" I asked Sofi as I started to sobbed again.
"I don't know Sam. Only Amber can answer that for you."

Amber's POV
Baby.. Answer your phone.. Puh-pleaseeee.. Come on baby.. Answer it now..
I heard Sofi's voice as Mandy's ringtone rang. If I'm not feeling shit right now I should've tease the hell out of Mandy.
"Hey.. I'm at Amber's.. I'll stay here for tonight.
"Are you home?"
"Oh. Okay."
"Not that good but better."
"Your best friend is my least favorite person now.. Do you know why she did this? Aaa never mind. Let me know once your home okay?
"I will."
"You changed my ringtone again huh?"
"I did. I loved it actually."
"Alright. Goodnight. You too."
"It's Sofi.." Mandy started.
"Obviously.." I countered. She rolled her eyes and blushed again.
"So.. Wanna talk about it?" Mandy asked worriedly as she sat down with me on our front porch.
"It was a dare Mands. A fucking dare." I started crying again. I wanted to cry it all out tonight hoping that the tears will lessen until there's nothing more for me to shed.
"Go on.. Just cry it out Ambs. Just let it out." I heard Mandy while she caress my back. I don't understand why.. But I remembered Shane's words.
"I was pissed and Sam was curious. We made a good team yeah?"
She's curious. That's all there is. An experiment. A dare to satisfy her curiosity.
"You know Mands.. nothing hurts more than being disappointed .. by the person you thought would never hurt you.. and it fucking hurts.. really hurts.." I blurted out in between sobs.
"It's my fault." Mandy stated looking at the stars.
"Huh? (Sniff) why? Of course not.." I countered.
"Partly it is. I pushed you to get to know her. I shipped you out with her. What if Sofi is doing the same thing? What if they've planned this?"
"JEEZ! MANDS! Don't think like that about Sofi! Her feelings for you is genuine. Don't ever doubt that."
"Same thing with Sam. She looked pretty much head over heels with you.. Now what?"
"Remember.. You're the one who asked Sofi to go on a date. Not the other way around." I tried to explain.
"Yeah.. Point taken. I like her a lot Ambs.. But now I'm afraid to tell her that. Well.. Because of what happened tonight.." Great. Now Mands is doubting Sofi because of Sam and I's situation.
"I thought this night is about me? Are you the one who needs a comfort?" I asked jokingly to lighten up the mood. I don't want her to doubt Sofi because of my situation.
"Oh crap! Sorry. It was just a thought. I know Sofi wouldn't do that."
"Good. Because she wouldn't. Okay?" I asked Mandy looking straight in her eyes.
"Yeah. She wouldn't." She smiled at that.
"Do you still love her Ambs?" Mandy asked looking with so much concern.
I do. I still do. I thought.
"You can fall in love overnight.. but you can't just fall out of love like that.. It's unfair isn't it?"
"Oh.. But.. Um.. Do you wan't to talk to her?" Mandy added.
"No. I don't think so. You already asked her what I wanted to asked and she was sorry wasn't she? Let's leave it like that."
"Amber.. What if she's really in love wi-"
"She is or she isn't.. it doesn't matter.. Now it's just about trust.. I don't think I can give her that anytime soon Mands. I love her still that's for sure. But to be with her and look at her straight in her eyes would never be the same again. Doubt changes the game."
