Trapped in Darkness

"Hello Gorgeous," Said the Stranger, and when Amber looked up she saw him with a smile on his face.

"IT'S YOU, HANDSOME!" Amber blurted out her words when she saw who it was. She internally released a sigh of release when she saw it was a familiar face.

What Amber said made him chuckle, and look at her with a questioning gaze asking her,

"Gorgeous, Why are you at the hospital?"

"I wanted to see how your condition was and you are perfectly fine just some bruises"

The Handsome stranger looked surprised that she cared enough to remember him. Then they both walked back to his room so they could talk more, and on the way, The Handsome stranger's brows furrowed when he saw Amber walking with a limp.

He was curious about how she was limping but had shown no trace of pain on her face.

The Handsome stranger then grabbed Amber by the wrist stopping her. When Amber saw this she looked at him quizzically.

'Why did he stop me? It looks serious. I hope he isn't in pain and needs a break. He should have fought back if only I got there sooner.'

Amber thought blaming herself for not being able to get their quicker to save him from being injured by those people.

"Wha-" Before she could finish her sentence or even get a word out she was picked up being carried like a princess in The Handsome stranger's arms.

"I can walk on my own, Why did you pick me up, you're hurt?" Amber said trying not to struggle since she was afraid of hurting him.

"You're Hurt" Surprise flashed across Amber's face then she said.

"No."

"Then why are you limping?" The Handsome stranger said, raising one of his thick brows with curiosity.

"No, I am not! You have a lot of bad bruises. What if I accidentally touch it and you're in even more pain." Amber said with a hint of worry on her face.

'He shouldn't even think about this little limp I have been through worse. This is nothing I can hardly even feel it.'

Amber thought, thinking it's useless for anyone to worry about her especially when they are more injured than her.

"I am fine, but we should go get your leg checked out." The Handsome stranger said then walked to the examination room getting a doctor to examine Amber. The Doctor asked,

"Miss, How did you get this injury?"

"Hehe.." Amber laughed nervously remembering how she hurt herself, feeling a little embarrassed about it.

The doctor saw her expression and explained how he won't judge her, and that this is a safe place also if he doesn't get the fully story of how it happened he might do more harm than good.

"Okay.." Amber took in a deep breath then continued "It happened when I first met him" Amber said poking the Handsome stranger on the chest indicating him.

"When we were fighting a few thugs to save him they sort of kicked my knee hard making it fall on the ground, bruising it and doing something else.."

Amber was going to say more when she saw the Handsome man's face darken and shoot her a glare, then she said defending herself.

"I have been too busy, but after I got done here I planned to go get it checked," Amber said at the end, pouting.

When the Doctor lifted up the skirt revealing her knee it looked swollen and really bruised.

When The Handsome stranger saw it he looked very guilty and thought 'I didn't know she got hurt. I should have just made her leave back then.

It's my fault if only I could protect her she shouldn't have helped me at all.'

"I wouldn't have left no matter what!" Amber said. The Stranger was about to ask how she knew when Amber said

"I'm that good, My face and body are just so stunning you can't help but reveal what you're thinking on your face because you're distracted by my perfection.."

Amber paused for a little bit before looking at both the Doctor and Stranger when she added "I'm not a Narcissist" The Doctor shivered at how she knew exactly what he was thinking.

While The Handsome stranger just smiled at Amber his obsidian eyes sparkling with mirth and thought 'She is really amusing, and adorable when she gets mad.

I hope when she leaves I will see her sometime in the future.' With that thought he remembered something and asked Amber,

"Gorgeous, What's your name?" Amber looked at him and said,

"My name is Am-" Amber was interrupted by her phone ringing, but she ignored it and was about to tell him when it rang again interrupting her.

"Let me take this call first, Okay?" The Handsome stranger nodded, then Amber took the call and walked away to get some privacy.

"Hello?" Amber said not knowing who called her since she didn't look at the Caller ID. Then a low husky voice said,

"Amber, It's Shawn I want to ta-"

Before Shawn could say anything else Amber hung up on him and put her phone on silent still peeved off at Shawn for disregarding her pride as just something petty.

Amber walked back to The Handsome stranger and told him she needed to go home. He agreed to say goodbye. The Handsome stranger decided not to ask for her name since she looked like she was in a bad mood,

He still looked sad but he thought he only felt this way because she is the first person to show him true kindness since he has always been alone. Or people would seek him out for money, status, and of course his handsomeness.

"I wonder why whenever I look at her I never see any greed for money or power in her eyes, only a hint of loneliness and pain. I want to discover what it is that made her like that" He mumbled to himself.

In his dark obsidian eyes curiosity for the girl with midnight black hair could be found in his eyes.

To him when she was around everything else disappeared except her.

He was like the sky loving the light the moon shined on him brightening him up but there was always a point she would disappear and it make him feel dark and lonely again.

Amber went home and got on her bed. "He is persistent that little Shit Head! Fine, he wants to talk with me well I don't want to even see his face!" Amber said to herself deciding to skip school for the rest of the week.

For the rest of the week Amber read, she also did all the homework her teacher sent her to do. She also got many calls from Shawn but ignored them all.

Amber got out of the shower when her phone started ringing and she went to answer. "Oh it's Devon, I wonder what he needs?" Amber said before answering the phone.

"Hello?"

"Amber!" I rolled my eyes in annoyance and said.

"No! Don't use my fucking phone number like this!" I said hanging up. I then turned my phone off going on a run because of what Devon did.

'I can't believe he let Shawn call me using his phone more than once. It's stupid my number is personal!

I thought he was my friend but I guess he chose to side with a person that made me feel like what I need is useless.

Like my dreams are useless. Like my second chance to be free is useless like my pride that I can't let go no matter what.'

I thought, becoming sad at someone who knew me and knows what I truly can't live without but still used it to stab me with the sharpest edge.

Still trapped in my thought's that kept burrowing into my heart stabbing me at the core I didn't notice where I was running.

But suddenly I saw headlights but It was too late. I knew I would die but at least I still had my pride, but I wished I could have spent more time with my family.

The next thing I knew I was on the ground and then everything went black. I was only surrounded in darkness, losing consciousness.

Before I succumbed to the dark I heard an ambulance and someone's telling me to hang in.

I tried, but I couldn't hold on any longer, scared to be lost in the darkness again.

'Please, don't take away my life again.' I thought as I realized I can't die yet I was too scared but I was stuck in the darkness curled up crying silently, alone again.

This time it was different I felt the darkness consuming me whole. I was Trapped in Darkness again, but this time there may be no way out.

No light just trapped here forever with my own dangerous thoughts a place I never wanted to visit again.

"HURRY UP WE'RE LOSING HER!" Yelled the paramedic when they got in the Ambulance, Then suddenly Amber's heart stopped beating.

"GODDAMMIT! DRIVE FASTER! WE CAN'T LOSE HER!" Yelled the paramedic.

The paramedic then used the AED to restart her heart. He plugged it in then started gathering electricity. "FUCK! RESPOND IF YOU WANT TO LIVE! PLEASE!"
