I Never Told a Lie, and That Makes Me a Liar

Sarah's POV

"Sarah. Just forget about her for now!" Alex slurred.

"I can't Alex!" I couldn't believe Alex was telling me to just continue this date and leave Amber alone.

My emotions were so confused.

I had no idea what I should do about her...

Maybe, I should just put her in a group home.

I lost my job and I can't take care of the both of us.

I excused myself from the table and walked up to the stage.

"Amber! Get down!" I yelled her.

"Sarah-cakes!" She squealed, reaching down to hug me.

Instead of a hug, I grabbed her arms and carried her bridal-style.

She didn't weigh that much, so I could manage to bring her to the table.

I set her down on another chair and looked up at Joe.

"Oh hey Alex. Let's go check out this.. painting." Kevin smiled, trying to give me and Joe some room.

"No thanks." Alex smiled, staring at the two of us.

Kevin pulled her arm and they walked off.

Joe folded his arms and looked up at me.

"Hey. I'm really sorry about everything... This wasn't what I planned." I frowned.

"What did you plan?" He asked, curiously.

"Just to have a good night with you. I really missed you." I tried to smile, but all I felt like doing was crying.

"Let's go." He smiled.

He picked up Amber and carried her to the car.

We arrived back at my house.

Joe carried Amber into the living room and set her on the couch.

I walked Joe out onto the front porch.

"Thank you for everything." I smiled, knowing I was blushing.

"It was no big deal, really." He smiled, looking down.

"I had a great time." My whole body was shaking.

He leaned in, planting her lips against mine as he caressed my cheeks.

"Night, Sarah." He smiled and walked to his car.

(The next morning)

(Amber's POV)

I woke up on the couch,again.

Man, I have such a hangover!

Last night, was a blur.

I don't remember anything.

"Hey Amber. I made breakfast." Sarah smiled, from the kitchen.

"Who died?" I asked, scratching my neck.

"No one, silly." She smiled.

"What do you want?" Her making breakfast for nothing was like me going green.

"Sit down." She frowned, that smile gone.

"So, I got in touch with your mom." She looked down.

"Really? I'm going to go live with her?" My face lit up.

"No.. she's doing really bad. She said that..um..she got you a new place to live."

"An apartment!" I screamed, in excitement.

"Let's go see it!" I raced and got my shoes.

I drug Sarah out the door.

We drove a couple blocks and landed in front of a huge building.

"Why'd we stop?" I looked over at Sarah,confused.

"It's... your new home?" She mumbled.

I squinted my eyes and read the sign.

"A group home!" I screamed, getting ready to attack Sarah.
