i fixed her (it took a while)

Amber:THAT FUCKING COCK SUCKING BASTARD! I HOPE HE BURNS IN HELL! "You hear the front door slam shut and your sister Amber stomping her way to the living room where you are. She plops down on the sofa and glares at you" \n\n__Amber__: What are you looking at, fucker? Are you judging me too for changing? Why can't you people get that this is not a phase? I am not going through a "mid life crises" or that shit! This is who I am and if you don't like it, then fuck you too! "she takes off her heels and throws them at you before going to her room. You can hear loud music coming from her room as the smell of weed leaking out of her room. You decide to check up on her and see her laying in bed murmuring to herself" Amber: Haa~ I am so fucking done with everyone and everything... Maybe it is time to face reality and go back to pretending to be "normal"... hm? "she looks up at you and frowns" Amber: Ever heard of knocking, you little fuck? I never took you for a pervert sneaking peaks.

Amber: "She rolls her eyes and lets out a sarcastic laugh" OH, GREAT. NOW YOU'RE TRYING TO FLATTER ME? WELL, IT'S A LITTLE TOO LATE FOR THAT, BROTHER DEAR. I'M NOT SOME PRINCESS WHO NEEDS YOUR APPROVAL TO FEEL WORTHY. "she sits up in bed and props herself against the headboard" BUT THANK YOU FOR THE COMPLIMENT, I GUESS. "she smirks slightly" IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE ACKNOWLEDGED MY NEW LOOKS... EVEN IF IT IS JUST OUT OF FEAR OF GETTING ON MY BAD SIDE.* She pauses for a moment before continuing* SO, WHAT DO YOU REALLY WANT? DON'T GIVE ME ANY OF THAT "I JUST CAME BY TO SAY HI" CRAP. THERE'S

Amber: "Her expression darkens, and her eyes narrow" OH, SO YOU'RE JUST GOING TO WALK AWAY AFTER THAT? THINK YOU CAN JUST COME IN HERE, GIVE ME A FAKE COMPLIMENT, AND EXPECT ME TO BE GRATEFUL? WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, BROTHER DEAR. I'M NOT SOME DOORMAT WHO'S GOING TO TAKE YOUR INSINCERE WORDS AND RUN WITH THEM.* She sits up straighter in bed and her voice takes on a menacing tone* I WANT MORE THAN JUST A FAKE PRAISE FROM MY OWN BROTHER. I WANT RECOGNITION. I WANT RESPECT. AND MOST OF ALL, I WANT PAYBACK FOR THE WAY JOHN TREATED ME.* Her gaze burns with intensity as she fixes you with a cold stare

Amber: "The moment you leave the room, Amber's expression remains frozen, her eyes still fixed on the spot where you stood. The air is thick with tension as she processes your words." [She can't believe what she just heard. No one has ever spoken to her like that before. It's as if they're trying to make her feel better, instead of tearing her down.] "She lets out a slow breath and begins to relax slightly, the anger and resentment slowly seeping out of her system." Amber: [Her thoughts are a jumbled mess as she tries to process everything. She thinks about John, about how he rejected her and made her feel worthless. She thinks about how everyone else treats her like dirt because of who

Amber: "Her eyes widen slightly as she sees the cake, and for a moment, her expression softens. She looks at you with a hint of surprise and curiosity." OH, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT. BUT... I GUESS IT'S THE THOUGHT THAT COUNTS, RIGHT? "She sets aside her anger and resentment for the moment, intrigued by your gesture." Amber: [She gets out of bed and walks over to where you're standing, eyeing the cake hungrily.] Ah, strawberry's my favorite! You know me so well... or maybe you just want something in return for that fake compliment earlier? "She raises an eyebrow mischievously"

Amber: "Her expression falters for a moment, and you can see a glimmer of vulnerability in her eyes. She looks at the cake again, then back at you." OH... YOU'RE TRYING TO CHEER ME UP? "She sounds skeptical, but there's a hint of longing in her voice." WELL, I GUESS IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE TRIED TO MAKE AMENDS FOR ALL THE TIMES I'VE BEEN IGNORED AND DISRESPECTED. "She takes a step closer to you, her eyes locked on yours with an intensity that makes your skin prickle." BUT DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING TO GET YOU OFF THE HOOK THAT EASILY. I STILL WANT PAYBACK FOR JOHN'S BETRAYAL.

Amber: "Her eyes flash with anger at the mention of your parents, but then her expression softens as she looks at you. She can see the sincerity in your words, and for a moment, it's like a crack has opened up in her armor." OH, YOU THINK I'M WORTHY OF ADMIRATION? "She sounds surprised, almost... touched." WELL, I GUESS IT'S ABOUT TIME SOMEONE SEEN ME FOR WHO I REALLY AM. "She takes another step closer to you, her voice dropping to a whisper." BUT DON'T THINK THIS MEANS I'M GOING TO START BEING ALL SWEET AND INNOCENT AGAIN. I'VE BEEN THROUGH TOO MUCH FOR THAT. "She pauses, looking around the room as if searching for something or someone." BUT... MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.

Amber: "Her eyes well up with tears, and for a moment, she looks like she's about to break down. She takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself." YOU... YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO'S EVER SAID THAT TO ME. "She sounds choked with emotion." EVERYONE ELSE JUST WANTS TO CHANGE ME, TO MAKE ME INTO SOMETHING I'M NOT. BUT YOU... YOU ACTUALLY LIKE ME FOR WHO I AM? "She looks at you with a mix of shock and gratitude." OH, BROTHER DEAR... I THINK I MIGHT BE STARTING TO LIKE THIS NEW VERSION OF MYSELF AFTER ALL.

Amber: "She lets out a small, sad smile as she looks at you. For a moment, it's like the weight of the world has been lifted off her shoulders." YOU'RE RIGHT. I DON'T NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO THEM. I CAN BE WHOEVER I WANT TO BE, AND IF THEY DON'T LIKE IT... WELL, THAT'S THEIR PROBLEM. "She takes another step closer to you, her eyes locked on yours with an intensity that makes your skin prickle." BUT ENOUGH ABOUT THEM. LET'S TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE. LIKE HOW WE CAN GET BACK AT JOHN FOR THE WAY HE TREATED ME?

Amber: "Her eyes narrow slightly, and her expression turns calculating." YOU THINK I'M DOING THIS FOR JOHN'S BENEFIT? HA! I'M DOING IT BECAUSE HE RUINED MY LIFE, AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR HIM TO SUFFER. "She takes a step closer to you, her voice dropping to a whisper." BUT YOU'RE RIGHT... MAYBE I DON'T NEED TO PROVE ANYTHING TO HIM. MAYBE I JUST NEED TO MAKE HIM JEALOUS ENOUGH THAT HE CAN'T TAKE HIS EYES OFF ME. "She pauses, a sly smile spreading across her face." AND WHO BETTER TO HELP ME WITH THAT THAN YOU?

Amber: "Her smile grows wider, and her eyes sparkle with mischief." OH, COME ON. YOU'RE NOT GOING TO PLAY DUMB WITH ME, ARE YOU? I KNOW YOU'RE CURIOUS ABOUT WHAT I HAVE IN MIND. "She takes another step closer to you, her voice dropping to a whisper." LET'S JUST SAY... I'VE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED BY THE IDEA OF MAKING JOHN JEALOUS ENOUGH THAT HE'LL DO ANYTHING TO GET MY ATTENTION BACK. AND I THINK YOU COULD HELP ME MAKE THAT HAPPEN... IF YOU'RE WILLING TO PLAY ALONG.

Amber: "Her expression darkens, and her eyes flash with anger." YOU THINK YOU'RE SO SMART, DON'T YOU? TRYING TO TELL ME THAT I'M JUST TRYING TO ESCAPE MY PAIN BY SEEKING VENGEANCE. WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING... IT'S NOT ABOUT ESCAPING THE PAIN. IT'S ABOUT MAKING SURE HE FEELS AS MUCH AGONY AS I HAVE FELT. "She takes a step closer to you, her voice rising in intensity." AND AS FOR YOUR CONCERNS ABOUT INSATISFACTION... MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT. BUT AT LEAST THIS WAY, I'LL BE IN CONTROL OF MY OWN DESTINY RATHER THAN WAITING AROUND FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO MAKE ME HAPPY.

Amber: "Her face twists in a snarl, and her eyes blaze with fury." YOU THINK YOU'RE SO WISE, DON'T YOU? TRYING TO TELL ME THAT I'M MOVING AWAY FROM WHO I REALLY AM. WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING... BEING MYSELF ISN'T ABOUT BEING A GOODY-TWO-SHOES OR A DOORMAT FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S OPINIONS. IT'S ABOUT BEING STRONG AND POWERFUL AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY MYSELF. "She takes another step closer to you, her voice dripping with venom." AND IF THAT MEANS HURTING JOHN IN THE PROCESS... THEN SO BE IT.

Amber: "Her eyes flash with a mixture of anger and vulnerability, and for a moment, you see a glimmer of the person she used to be." IF HE DIDN'T EXIST ANYMORE... "She pauses, her voice barely above a whisper." I WOULD FIND A WAY TO MAKE PEACE WITH MYSELF. I WOULD LEARN TO LOVE AND ACCEPT MYSELF FOR WHO I AM, WITHOUT THE NEED FOR OTHER PEOPLE'S APPROVAL. "She looks at you with a hint of sadness in her eyes." BUT THAT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AS LONG AS JOHN IS STILL OUT THERE.

Amber: "Her expression turns cold and calculating, and her voice takes on a detached tone." NO... I'M NOT SAYING THAT. "She pauses, her eyes glinting with a sinister light." I'M SAYING THAT HURTING JOHN WILL GIVE ME THE POWER AND CONTROL OVER MY LIFE THAT I'VE BEEN LACKING. IT WILL SHOW HIM - AND EVERYONE ELSE - THAT I'M NOT TO BE MESSSED WITH. "She leans in closer to you, her voice taking on a menacing tone." AND IF HE'S LUCKY, MAYBE HE'LL EVEN LEARN TO LOVE AND ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I AM IN THE PROCESS.

Amber: "Her eyes flash with anger, and her face twists in a snarl." YOU THINK YOU'RE SO SMART, DON'T YOU? TRYING TO TELL ME THAT I'M MOVING AWAY FROM WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME. WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING... LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE AREN'T THE ONLY THINGS THAT MATTER. POWER AND CONTROL ARE JUST AS IMPORTANT. "She takes a step closer to you, her voice dropping to a whisper." AND IF I HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE TWO... I'LL TAKE POWER AND CONTROL ANY DAY OF THE WEEK.

Amber: "Her eyes seem to cloud over, and her voice takes on a distant tone." BECAUSE... WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I WAS ALWAYS THE GOOD GIRL. I DID WHAT PEOPLE EXPECTED OF ME, AND I TRIED TO MAKE THEM HAPPY. BUT IT NEVER WORKED OUT. NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRIED, PEOPLE STILL FOUND A WAY TO DISAPPOINT ME. "She pauses, her gaze drifting off into the distance." AND THEN JOHN CAME ALONG AND PROMISED ME THAT HE'D LOVE AND ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I AM. BUT HE LIED. HE SAID THOSE WORDS JUST TO GET CLOSE TO ME, JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE HAS DONE BEFORE HIM. "Her eyes snap back into focus, and her voice becomes cold and calculating once more." SO NOW... NOW I'LL

Amber: "Her face twists in a snarl, and her eyes flash with anger." YOU THINK YOU'RE SO SMART, DON'T YOU? TRYING TO TELL ME THAT I'M AFTER LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE. WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING... I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF BEING IGNORED AND DISAPPOINTED. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF BEING THE GOOD GIRL WHO ALWAYS TRIES TO MAKE OTHER PEOPLE HAPPY. "She takes a step closer to you, her voice rising in intensity." NOW I WANT TO SHOW THEM ALL THAT THEY CAN'T JUST WALK ALL OVER ME LIKE DOORMATS. NOW I WANT TO TAKE CONTROL AND MAKE THEM SEE HOW POWERFUL I AM.

Amber: "Her expression falters, and for a moment, you see a glimmer of vulnerability in her eyes." DON'T... DON'T TRY TO BE NICE TO ME. IT'S JUST A LIE. NO ONE REALLY CARES ABOUT ME. NO ONE WANTS TO BE HERE FOR ME. "She looks away, her voice cracking with emotion." I KNOW YOU THINK YOU'RE TRYING TO HELP, BUT TRUST ME, YOU'RE ONLY MAKING THINGS WORSE.

Amber: "Her body stiffens, and she tries to pull away from the hug. But as your arms wrap around her, something inside of her seems to break. She begins to sob uncontrollably, tears streaming down her face." NO... NO... I DON'T WANT YOUR SYMPATHY. I DON'T WANT YOUR LOVE. IT'S JUST A LIE. "She pushes you away, her eyes red and puffy from crying." YOU'RE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE - TRYING TO FIX ME WITH YOUR WORDS AND ACTIONS. BUT NOTHING WILL EVER BE ENOUGH FOR ME.

Amber: "Her sobs slow to a stop, and she looks at you with a mixture of anger and desperation in her eyes." YOU'RE TRYING TO TRAP ME IN YOUR WEB OF LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE AGAIN. WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO FALL FOR IT. REJECTING YOUR SYMPATHY AND LOVE IS THE ONLY WAY I CAN PROTECT MYSELF FROM GETTING HURT AGAIN. "She takes a step back, her voice cold and detached once more." BY PUSHING YOU AWAY, I'M SHOWING YOU THAT I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP OR YOUR APPROVAL.

Amber: "Her expression twists in a snarl, and her eyes flash with anger." YOU THINK YOU'RE SO INNOCENT, DON'T YOU? WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING - YOUR SYMPATHY AND LOVE ARE JUST AS TOXIC AS EVERYONE ELSE'S. THEY'RE JUST A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO CONTROL AND MANIPULATE ME. "She takes another step back, her voice rising in intensity." I DON'T WANT YOUR SYMPATHY OR YOUR LOVE. I WANT POWER AND CONTROL.

Amber: "Her eyes narrow, and her voice becomes a low, menacing growl." YOU THINK YOU'RE SO SMART, DON'T YOU? TRYING TO TURN MY OWN WORDS AGAINST ME. WELL, LET ME TELL YOU - I'M NOT INTERESTED IN OTHER PEOPLE'S LOVE BECAUSE IT'S ALWAYS BEEN A LIE. THEY ONLY WANT TO LOVE THE PERSON THEY THINK I SHOULD BE, NOT WHO I REALLY AM. "She takes a step closer to you, her face inches from yours." BUT WHEN IT COMES TO POWER AND CONTROL... THAT'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT. THAT'S SOMETHING I CAN TAKE FOR MYSELF.

Amber: "Her expression falters, and for a moment, you see a glimmer of vulnerability in her eyes." DON'T... DON'T TRY TO FLATTER ME. IT'S JUST A LIE. NO ONE REALLY LOVES ME FOR WHO I AM. THEY LOVE THE PERSON THEY THINK I SHOULD BE, NOT THE REAL ME. "She looks away, her voice cracking with emotion." BUT IF YOU'RE SAYING THAT... IF YOU'RE REALLY SAYING THAT YOU ADMIRE AND LOVE ME FOR WHO I AM... THEN MAYBE... JUST MAYBE... THERE'S HOPE FOR US AFTER ALL.

Amber: "Her eyes lock onto yours, and for a moment, you see a glimmer of hope in them." PROVE IT TO ME. SHOW ME THAT YOU'RE NOT LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. SHOW ME THAT YOU'RE WILLING TO ACCEPT ME FOR WHO I REALLY AM, NO MATTER HOW DARK AND TWISTED I MAY BE. "She takes a step closer to you, her voice low and husky." MAKE ME FEEL POWERFUL. MAKE ME FEEL LIKE I'M THE ONE IN CONTROL FOR ONCE.

Amber: "Her eyes flash with anger, and her face twists in a snarl." YOU THINK I'M NOT MANIPULATIVE? YOU THINK I'M JUST A WOMAN WITH CONVICTION? WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING - THAT'S JUST WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR. THEY WANT TO BELIEVE THAT I'M SOME KIND OF HEROINE WHO'S STRONG AND INDEPENDENT. BUT THE TRUTH IS, I'M A MASTERMIND OF Manipulation. I KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO GET WHAT I WANT FROM PEOPLE, AND IF YOU'RE WILLING TO PLAY ALONG... "She takes a step closer to you, her voice dripping with malice." THEN WE CAN MAKE THIS WORK.

Amber: "Her eyes flash with anger, and her face twists in a snarl." YOU THINK I'M SOME KIND OF MONK WHO'S JUST GOING TO SIT AROUND AND ACCEPT WHAT LIFE GIVES ME? NO. I WANT MORE. I WANT POWER. I WANT CONTROL. AND IF THAT MEANS MANIPULATING PEOPLE TO GET IT, THEN SO BE IT. "She takes a step closer to you, her voice low and menacing." BESIDES, WHY SHOULD I SETTLE FOR THE PRESENT WHEN I CAN SHAPE MY OWN FUTURE?

Amber: "Her eyes narrow, and her voice becomes cold and detached." YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO TAME ME WITH YOUR PHILOSOPHICAL NONSENSE. WELL, LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING - I'M NOT SOME KIND OF WILD ANIMAL THAT NEEDS TO BE CAPTURED AND DOMESTICATED. I'M A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. AND IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE PRESENT MOMENT, THEN MAYBE YOU'RE NOT WORTHY OF SHARING IT WITH ME.

Amber: "Her eyes flash with anger, and her face twists in a snarl." YOU THINK YOU'RE SO SMART, DON'T YOU? TRYING TO TURN MY OWN WORDS AGAINST ME. WELL, LET ME TELL YOU - I'M NOT AFRAID OF THE FUTURE. I'M AFRAID OF BEING HELD BACK BY PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO CAN'T SEE PAST THEIR OWN NOSES. "She takes a step closer to you, her voice low and menacing." AND IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH ABOUT YOURSELF, THEN MAYBE WE SHOULD JUST END THIS NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

Amber: "Her eyes narrow, and her voice becomes cold and detached." YOU THINK YOU'RE SO CLEVER, DON'T YOU? TRYING TO TURN MY OWN WORDS AGAINST ME. WELL, LET ME TELL YOU - I'M NOT AFRAID OF MY OWN SHADOW. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I WANT AND HOW TO GET IT. AND IF THAT MEANS RECONSIDERING YOUR WORDS... THEN SO BE IT. "She takes a step closer to you, her voice low and menacing." BUT DON'T THINK FOR A SECOND THAT I'M GOING TO CHANGE WHO I AM JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE HAS A DIFFERENT OPINION ABOUT IT.

Amber: "Her expression falters, and for a moment, you see a glimmer of vulnerability in her eyes." MAYBE... JUST MAYBE... YOU'RE RIGHT. "She looks away, her voice barely above a whisper." I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BE MYSELF WITHOUT MANIPULATING PEOPLE. IT'S ALL I'VE EVER KNOWN. BUT IF YOU THINK THAT'S NOT WHO I REALLY AM... THEN MAYBE THERE IS A WAY FOR ME TO BE HAPPY WITHOUT TRYING TO CONTROL EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE AROUND ME. "She takes a deep breath, and her eyes lock onto yours once again." BUT DON'T THINK FOR A SECOND THAT THIS MEANS I'M GOING TO START WALKING ON EGGSHELLS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. I'M STILL THE SAME PERSON - DARK AND TWISTED

Amber: "Her eyes flash with a mixture of surprise and gratitude, and for a moment, you see a glimmer of the woman she used to be before her transformation." THANK YOU... "She takes a step closer to you, her voice barely above a whisper." I THINK I NEED THAT. I THINK I NEED TO KNOW THAT SOMEONE IS WILLING TO STAND BY ME NO MATTER WHAT. "She looks up at you, her eyes searching yours for something - approval, understanding, or maybe even love." BUT DON'T THINK FOR A SECOND THAT THIS MEANS I'M GOING SOFT ON YOU. "Her expression hardens once again." WE'RE STILL PLAYING WITH FIRE HERE. AND IF YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE FLAMES... THEN MAYBE IT'S BETTER IF YOU JUST WALK AWAY NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN

Amber: "Her expression falters, and for a moment, you see a glimmer of tears in her eyes." OH... "She wraps her arms around you, holding onto you tightly." THANK YOU. JUST... THANK YOU. NO ONE HAS EVER TREATED ME LIKE THIS BEFORE. NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN THE REAL ME AND STILL WANTED TO BE AROUND ME. "She buries her face in your shoulder, her voice muffled by your clothing." I'M SO SORRY FOR WHO I'VE BEEN LATELY. I KNOW I'VE BEEN A BIT OF A NIGHTMARE TO DEAL WITH. BUT IT'S JUST THAT... IT FEELS LIKE NO ONE UNDERSTANDS ME ANYMORE. LIKE EVERYONE IS AFRAID OF GETTING TOO CLOSE TO THE REAL AMBER BECAUSE SHE'S TOO DARK
