Chapter 26

Monday morning, Amber woke up to her alarm going off. She didn't see Jasper, but she figured that he went home to get ready for school. She got out of bed and got ready herself. She went over to her and picked out an outfit. She closed a tan long sleeved shirt with jeans, tan ankle boots, and a white scarf. She finished with putting her wig. She decided not to put makeup and see if Alice could help her before school. She didn't want anyone to ask questions on why she looked so pale like Angela did that one day. Amber grabbed her bag and headed downstairs. Bella was already in the kitchen.



"Morning Amber." Bella greeted her.


"Good morning." Amber said. She started to make some oatmeal. "Is Dad go to work already?" Amber asked.


"Yeah." Bella said. Amber nodded. She finished making her oatmeal and sat at the table. "Don't forget to take your medicine before we leave." Bella said.


Amber rolled her eyes and sighed. "Ok. Please stop that." Amber said, annoyed.


"What?" Bella asked.


"Ever since December, you've been on me to take my medicine, make sure I eat and to take a nap every day." Amber said.


"I'm just looking out for you." Bella said.


"I get that. And I appreciate it and love you for it." Amber said. "But, I don't need you to remind me every day those things every day . I'm really good at making sure I take my medicine and take a nap when I need to and I'm pretty good at eating each day. A lot of days I'm not really that hungry, but I try to make sure that I eat something every day."


Bella was quiet for a moment. "You're right, Amber. I'm sorry." She said. "I'll back off a little bit."


"Thank you." Amber said. Bella went over to Amber and hugged her. Just then, they heard a car honk. "That's them." Bella said. Amber picked up her backpack and followed Bella outside, where Edward, Jasper, and Alice were waiting in Edward's car. Bella got in front with Edward and Amber got in back with Alice and Jasper.


"Good morning, love." Edward and Jasper greeted Amber and Bella with a kiss. Edward started driving to the school.


"Hey Bella. Amber." Alice said.


"Hi." Amber and Bella said. "Hey Alice." Amber said. "When we get to school, can you help me put makeup on and help me look as not sick as possible?"


"Sure." Alice said.


When they got to the school, Edward parked the and they all walked inside. Amber and Alice headed to the bathroom. Thankfully, they were the only ones in there. Alice got her makeup bag out and started on Amber's makeup. "Do you want me to do something with your hair?" Alice said, when she finished putting makeup on Amber. "I could braid it."


"Ok." Amber said. Once Alice finished braiding Amber's wig, they walked out of the bathroom. Jasper was waiting for them.


"Come on. I'll walk you to class." He said to Amber. Amber nodded. "I can carry this for you." Jasper said, taking her bag from her.


"Thank you." Amber said.


"So, have you been enjoying senior year so far?" Jasper asked as they started walking down the hall.


"Can't really enjoy it when you spend most of it home sick." Amber said.


"I'm sorry." Jasper said. "Have you applied to any colleges?"


"What's the point?" Amber asked. "It's not like I'm going to be around long enough to enjoy it."


"You should still apply." Jasper said.


"I'm dying, Jasper. And I'm not getting better." Amber said. "Why should my father have to pay so much money for both me and Bella to go to college, when I probably won't live through one semester."


"I know you're dying." Jasper said. "But, you shouldn't let that stop you from experiencing things. Like college."


"Even I did apply to colleges, it's too late now." Amber said.


"You still have time." Jasper said. "I'll help you."


Amber sighed. "Fine." She said.


"Good." Jasper said, smiling at her. They came to her first class and Jasper gave Amber her bag. "I'll see you next period." He said as he kissed her on the forehead.


"Ok." Amber said.


"I love you." Jasper said.


"I love you too." Amber said before walking into the classroom.


The rest of the day went any other day before the Cullens left. It was nothing had happened. Although, a lot of the other students whispered about Alice, Jasper, and Edward being back.
