FOURTEEN

The next morning Amber woke up feverish and with a slight ringing in her ears. She didn’t have to open her eyes to know Drake had left. They had talked for hours. He’d probably left the moment her eyes drooped.

She took a look at the clock and groaned when she saw she’d overslept. Once again the alarm on her phone hadn’t worked. She pushed the screen, but apparently the battery had died on her. The thing didn’t even last a whole day anymore.

She rolled out of bed and hopped into the shower. Ten minutes later she strolled down the stairs, grabbed her coat and hurried to the bus stand. The morning light was unusually bright and hurt her eyes, which was odd since it was a clouded day. There was a throbbing behind her eyelids as if someone was holding a drum session inside her corneas. A cold sweat formed on the small of her back, leaving a cold spot, and her hands started to shake.

Something was wrong. Very, very wrong. Her heart was in her throat when suddenly a horrible thought formed in her mind.

She got in the bus, her head filled with questions. Too agitated to even grab a sandwich for breakfast from the cafeteria, or greet Ian who was talking to the football coach, she rushed to the nurse’s office, closing the door behind her.

Nurse Croft stood behind her desk and looked up when she heard Amber enter. “My note is on the corner of my desk,” she greeted her.

Amber got the note and put it in her pocket. After that last disastrous basketball game she hadn’t partaken in gym class again. Bull, however, insisted on a weekly note from the nurse.

“You look worn out,” Croft remarked. “That doesn’t surprise me, especially not after the events of last night. I doubt whether you’ve had a decent night of sleep for a while now.”

“It’s been a rough few weeks,” Amber admitted.

She went to the couch placed against the wall. The leather cracked under her weight when she sat on it.

It hadn’t been too long ago since Drake had dropped her on the same spot. She was having another migraine attack back then, pain invading her mind. A pain that had disappeared when he’d held her close to him. She’d been so grateful for the moment of respite his dragon’s skin had given her, subduing her pain. His body’s comfort she had used quite often lately, forming a pattern at nights. Snuggling against him. An innocent hug growing into something more. First a peck on the cheek, initiated by her, then Drake turning that into a feverish kiss. Her first kiss. This had continued a few times, until a few nights ago when things had really started to heat up and his hands had slid under her shirt and he’d gotten on top of her. When his fingers had slid over her breast she’d moaned, and he’d jumped off the bed, cursing at himself for losing control. They didn’t talk about what had happened, pretending it never did.
