Ten Years Ago

When I got Amber’s SOS text asking me to meet her at her father’s club I was confused, she never wanted me anywhere near those places. She was worried her father would find out about us, about our plans to leave, so she kept our relationship a secret. We never went on dates to the movies or hung out at the beach with kids our age. We met in the shadows late at night. From the day she showed up on our doorstep, I knew she would become my everything. When we were fifteen, I told her I was in love with her and that one day she would be my wife and meant every word.

Late one night I heard a tap on my window. It was Amber standing outside, soaked in rain, but it was the blood that caught my eye. Even the summer storm couldn’t wash it away. I pulled her into my window, and started looking her over for where the blood was coming from, but I couldn’t find the source.

There was so much blood.

“I’m fine Dylan. It’s... it’s not mine,” she whispered.

I snapped my head up to look at her face, and saw nothing but pain and guilt. So, this was the job she had to do tonight. Her father made her kill someone, or clean up the body. She never shared her work with me, but it wasn’t hard to understand the type of things she had to see. Before that night she never wanted me to know this side of her. She didn’t understand that I would love her no matter what.

That night, she let me strip her out of her blood-soaked clothes, wash away the evidence in the shower, and kiss away the memories of whatever she had done before she came to me. I gave Amber every part of my soul, and in return she gave me her heart to keep safe. I just wish I had done a better job.

When I arrived at the club and parked, I didn’t see Amber's car in the parking lot, but I made my way through the back door anyway. Denny was waiting for me. He grabbed my shoulder and forcefully pushed me down the back hallway and into the main office where Andrew Kane was sitting behind his desk.

“Mr. Kane,” I greet.

“Ahh, Dylan, please come in and have a seat, Amber will be here shortly, but I thought you and I should have a little chat before she gets here, man to man.”

“Yes, Sir. What would you like to talk about?” I was trying my best to sound like I was completely unfazed by this meeting, but the truth is, this man terrified me.

“Why, Amber of course. Tell me, Dylan, what are your intentions with my daughter?” he asks with an easy smile.

“Uh, my intentions? Sir, we’re just friends, neighbors, we hardly even talk,” I say, attempting to convince him of something I knew he saw right through.

“Cut the shit, Bennet.
