Appearance
Amber stands at 5'4", but can get as tall as 5'9" when she is wearing a pair of heels. She has a short torso that is complimented by long slender legs. There isn't much muscle on her, but she does have some tone of her arms, legs, and stomach. She keeps in shape in order to look good for her fans and feel good during lengthy performances. Her eyes shift from green to hazel. The shift depends on the lighting and time of day. Amber has black hair that she usually keeps in a protective twist style, but every so often she does enjoy letting her hair out. When her hair is in twists, they fall just above her butt. When her hair is out naturally, it fall past her shoulders. She does her own hair, not trusting many other people to know what to do with it. Her usual style of dress is casual. She enjoys wearing jeans and different fashion tops with plain shoes. If she has an event to go to, she brings out her nicest dresses and her highest heels. Amber doesn't do much with makeup, even when she has somewhere important to go. She prefers to be natural so that people can see the freckles across her nose and cheeks. Underneath the clothes, Amber has different marks all over her body. She has scars on her thighs from cutting herself when she was younger. Some have faded away, but there is a prominent one that has yet to disappear. She has a scorpio zodiac tattoo on her left hip, lashes on the inside of her forearm, and musical notes on her right wrist. She does plan on getting more tattoos. Amber also has her both of her earlobes pierced along with an industrial piercing on her left ear. She also has her nose pierced.

Personality
Amber is a quiet one, but she was far from shy. When in large crowds, she always felt like she had a hard time speaking up. She felt as though what she had to say wasn't important enough to try and speak up above someone else. When given the opportunity to speak up, she does have a decent amount of things to say. Amber isn't that great with strangers. She is awful at small talk. Beyond 'hello' it is hard for Amber to come up with decent conversation, not to say that she doesn't try. Many people find her awkward for this reason and don't really try to get to know her. Around her friends, she has a much easier time talking and feels much more comfortable. In the presence of just one friend, she can be a chatterbox. It's almost as if she just learned to speak and wants to get out as many thoughts as she possibly can.

In her old friend group, she was the day dreamer. Amber always dreamed big and had plans to be better than she was. She could always be found writing her dreams within her notebooks or scribbling song lyrics on her desk. There wasn't anything that could come between Amber and her dream to be the best singer in the nation. Amber was often distracted by her own thoughts of being on the center stage. Teachers have actively called her out in class to grab her attention. Amber wasn't the brightest student and struggled with getting good grades. She went through most of her school year just trying to pass. What she lacked in book smarts, she made up for in wit and sarcasm. Amber considers sarcasm her third language, her second being Spanish. She used her wit and sarcasm to curb any comments regarding her inner emotions and emotional well-being. Her jokes and humor were sometimes rather dark, but it was her defense mechanism.

Amber has her own demons that she battles on a daily basis. When she wins the battle, she can find a reason to get out of bed and go about her day. She can hang out with her friends and smile. It isn't true happiness, but she knows that she is close. But when she loses the battle, she becomes an emotional wreck. The idea of getting up in the morning becomes the hardest things she has ever had to do. On days like these, she stays home and often doesn't leave the bed. Amber always feels awful when she is like this and that only makes it worse. The feeling of letting everyone down, the weight crushes her. More often than not, Amber can handle herself. She can fight her battles and do what she loves. She knows how to fake her way through her pain and it is quite believable. Most people don't know what's going on underneath and she would like to keep it that way. Her status as Ambrosia is very important to her and she worked her to get it to where it is.

History
Amber was born on a cool Autumn day. Her parents kept their babe wrapped up in warm blankets and held them close to their heart. She wasn't their first born, but at the moment it felt like it was. Amber has two older brothers, Adam and Anthony. Amber loved her brothers dearly and they loved her. She was close with both of them, following them everyone as a child. Her parents used to refer to her as their shadow since she didn't want to leave their side. For a long time, they were a normal family. They would get argue just as much as they would show affection for each other. When she was ten her parents died in a tragic a car accident. Anthony was 20 at the time and legally to custody of both Adam and Amber. She doesn't remember the details of the accident. All she remembers is Anthony trying to explain what happened to their parents. Adam lashed out to explain his emotions. Amber kept mostly to herself. She had always had a passion for writing songs and singing, so she use that to get her feelings across. She felt that was easier than trying to talk. And it was. It helped her a lot.

During this time, she had met a good group of friends. They had welcomed the quiet girl with open arms. They didn't judge her or try to change her in anyway. It was nice to have a second family. Amber stuck to them like glue. She became more outgoing with them and even sang for them on occasion. She thought they would all be together forever. But that fight changed everything. It broke them up sophomore year and it changed everything. Amber went more into herself with her emotions, becoming more damaged than she already was. When she couldn't take the internal pain any longer, she resorted to cutting as a form of release. Anthony caught her and took her to a doctor. A physical and a psychiatric evaluation later, Amber was being told to take two antidepressants a day and to meet with a therapist once a month. For the first few weeks, she refused the medications. Adam found Amber with more cuts on her body saying that she just wanted to 'lay here and die'. They increased her therapist visits to once every two weeks and got Amber to start taking her medications.

By the end of senior year, Amber managed to stabilize her mental health. She took the medications like she was supposed to and she did her best to talk to the therapist about what she was feeling, but it was easier to just sing about her pain. Anthony wanted Amber to attend college and get a 'real job', but she wanted to sing for the world. They had their first and only fight. Amber packed up everything and left the house. She took the first bus to California with determination to become a famous singer. Adam knew where she was, but he kept that information a secret from Anthony. After a few years, Amber is actually starting to make a name for herself. She performs as local venues all over California and she releases new songs on a regular basis. As she becomes more popular, the demand is starting to increase. It is starting to take a toll on Amber, but she is trying to put on a brave face for the sake of her fans.

xxi stand for a while and waited for words,
xxseen but not heard and struggled to try.
xxmy tongue's turning black, but i'll take you back,
xxyou're still the best, more or less, I guess.


The party was only just starting to kick off, and yet Max was already perhaps a little too drunk. He'd promised himself he'd take it easy, but then he'd just been so anxious about seeing everyone again that he may have lost track of his drinking. He was still in control, mostly sober, but things were just a little blurred around the edges. In reality, it was probably the best state to be in. He felt like he could actually talk to people like this, and god knows he'd need courage to talk to some of these people.

Of course, the fact that not everybody was here yet and Max already had another drink in his hand was... an issue. He didn't want to be so drunk he'd do or say anything he'd regret, but also he didn't want to be too sober. His mind was finally clear, no rushing or racing or spiralling thoughts. Sure, he was nervous, but who wouldn't be in this situation? It was normal anxiety.

And then he spotted some food and found himself immediately drawn to it, the thoughts of his anxiety and his troubles gone. He made a beeline for it, his drink still in hand, and started piling some snacks onto his plate. Pizza was one of the foods he only really seemed to love when he had more than a little alcohol in his system. His prize achieved, he wandered around the party, desperate to find someone to talk to. He wouldn't have the guts to talk to most of them sober, so now seemed like the best time.

xxi'll be right there,
xxbut you'll have to tie me down
xxand then break both my hands
xxif you need anyone,
xxi'll be right there.


Raven stepped out of the taxi, her bag hanging off her shoulder, and looked up at the building in front of her. It didn't look much from the outside, but presumably there was room enough for all of them. The door was already open, so she wandered in and headed straight upstairs. Having found a bedroom that appeared to be upstairs, she just threw her bags onto the bed, quickly touched up her lipstick, and adjusted her skirt. She would be lying if she said that she wasn't a little anxious over all of this. Seeing people she hadn't seen in such a long time... it was a weird thrill, one that was a mix of anxiety and excitement. She'd changed so much. Would the people she'd once loved have changed as drastically as she had?

She fixed a brilliant smile on her face and headed downstairs, her vibrant red heels tapping on the floor. The party seemed to be mainly in the sitting room, but she stopped into the kitchen first to get herself a drink. Her eyes glinted with delight as she took in the scene before her. So many different kinds of drinks, so many choices. She made herself a cocktail and snagged some snacks, before heading back into the sitting room to scan and see if she could spot anyone she recognised. Surely their host, Barty, had to be around somewhere, but it seemed that they'd just missed each other. She sipped her drink and danced a little to herself as she scanned the room, always watching.

Outfit (minus purse) | hex; #569FBA
Alice wasn't sure if she overdressing or not. Alice wanted to impress everyone and show them how she evolved but she wasn't sure how to go about doing that without looking like an attention hog. The invitation hadn't really established a dress code so if she was overdressing only the host can be blamed. Yea, Alice could assume that everyone was dressing fairly casually for a reunion but there always has to be the show off that dresses expensively, right? Alice sighed and began to play with her hair as the taxi sped down the road. The years had been very good to Alice and she hoped everyone else had the same fortune. Of course, a lot of things can happen in such a long span of time but a lot of those things could be positive. Amber was a fairly successful singer now and Eden had become a model so everyone else could've done just as good. Alice touched up her makeup as the mansion came into view. Alice hadn't seen many mansions anymore since she took up residence the inner city area. The exterior was amazing and she was sure the interior would be just as grandiose. Paying her fare, Alice walked up to the door with confidence.

The door was open, which Alice thought was a pretty bad decision, but Alice decided to ignore the minor detail. Just like she predicted, the mansion was just as beautiful on the inside. Walking in caused a wave of nostalgia to crash over her. The warm light of the mansion made it feel like some kind of flashback as she took in all the familiar faces. Alice didn't know what she expected, but everyone looked so different. Features had become defined and people grew. Some people were bigger some people were smaller. It was weird to see people she knew in her youth to look so adult. Alice guesses they'll have the same feeling as her when they greet each other. Looking at everyone and how their features matured and became more defined made Alice feel like a kid again. It felt like when she was an underclassmen in high school and the seniors all looked more adult than she thought she ever would. It wasn't a bad feeling though. It was nice to feel a little younger again. Everyone was already in conversation and Alice felt awkward trying to but in to any conversations. The girl opted to start getting drunk since tonight was supposed to be something fun. Alice had a high alcohol tolerance so she hoped that she wouldn't have to consume too much to get a nice buzz.

This was a bad idea. Leaving Samuel alone with his sister, while he trusted the woman, he didn't want to leave his son. He liked spending time with him, not having to deal with other adults. Able to care for his kid, wow. He had gone soft, but a kid did that to ya. He reminisced of a time where he wouldn't have ever thought of falling in love, having a family. He didn't want to be his family, he was shocked. Looking back now, Leo just knew he was a kid. Every kid thinks that, and maybe he hoped for something else. He wasn't a drinker by any means, a glass of wine here and there, maybe a beer or two. But he hadn't been fond of the substance, but tonight, he was glad there was. Because he was going to have to face his demons, or, demon.

Max Chapman

The name rang in his ear like a bell, the boy who Leo had believed he could've loved if given the chance. The boy who ditched his 'friends' and linked up with the people who tormented them. His clenched his fist, in the backseat of the Uber he rode in. He didn't want to see him, he didn't want to face him. He would rather go through Delilah all over again, than talk to Max. He didn't know what he'd say, he had so much pent up anger towards the male. A frustrated sigh left his place, as the driver called out that they had arrived. He thanked the man, and left a tip on his phone, and walked out. He'd ready himself for a barrage of questions about his life, how he was going to respond. Before he knew it, he was in front of the door and walked in. The music sort of reminded him of a high school party, except this time he wasn't going to show up drunk as all hell at 3 am to his hotel room.

{ Will & Amber }

Image

Will's eyes have been trained on the door for the past several minutes, anxiously willing Amber to arrive faster than she has. It's a nostalgic feeling for him, this active nervousness. Nowadays, it is normally a more subtle anxiety that even he will not fully recognize. Around strangers, or even around his more recent circle of friends, he is the picture of relaxed confidence. Will is a lion lazing in the sun, in control and seemingly without a care. Surrounded by the people who remind him of the loser he once was, he feels more like an awkward baby giraffe.

Given his fixation the entrance, it is not unexpected that he catches sight of Amber the moment she enters, and his entire body seems to relax a bit at her presence. Despite their occasional fights, Amber remains his closest friend. Her presence alone is soothing to Will, as she is the only person he still easily opens up to these days. He mirrors her smile when she notices him and walks over. His instinct is to reciprocate her hug, but at that moment Eden walks in the door and he clams up a bit, sort of dodging the full embrace and turning it into a clearly awkward half hug interaction. Will attempts to smooth over that by immediately launching into words, "In the flesh! I'm not sure how long I'll stay though, this whole thing just feels pretty awkward, y'know? Want to dip out and go to dinner or something?"

He's already eaten three slices of pizza, so the invitation to dinner doesn't make practical sense. But Will is already beginning to feel skittish.

Amber wasn't expecting the half-hug. She hasn't seen her best friend in years, so she wanted the big hug with a dramatic spin. But she just settled for the awkward embrace and crossed her arms once he pulled away from her. She made a mental note to scold him about denying her a hug later. He immediately invited her to dinner in order to avoid this entire ordeal. If it wasn't for the fact that Amber had already picked a room to sleep in and had been seen by others in the mansion, she would have agreed to ditch. In fact, she would have even suggesting they fly back to California and just hang out at her apartment. But Amber had committed to being at this party, despite how much she hated parties, the moment she walked into the house. If she just left, then the others would think that she wasn't trying to mend their broken bonds. Amber doesn't want that idea of failing lingering around.

"I just got here, can't leave just yet. I still want to talk to Barty and Raven." Those were the only other two people that she actually wanted to see. She quickly glanced behind her to see if Raven was still here and if Barty had shown his face, but instead she caught a glimpse of Eden heading off towards where the food and drinks were.

"And don't you want to talk to Eden?" Amber was getting a feeling that Will was extremely uncomfortable, but she wasn't going to just come out and ask him. At least not yet.

A smile pulled its way out of his mouth when Amber mentioned Raven- a knowing smile. Despite his desire to leave, Will knows that his best friend is going to want to see the girl she's been pining after since they were kids. Unlike him, she doesn't want to shrivel up at the sight of her crush. Of course, as far as Will is concerned Amber is cooler than Raven, so to him it makes sense that Amber would want to talk to Raven. He's been rooting for her since middle school, and believes that Amber could sweep Raven off of her feet easily, if only Raven would open her eyes and see how amazing Amber is. On his end, however, he's been infatuated with a girl who always manages to be miles from his reach every time he meets her. "Alright, fair, but only if you'll finally profess your undying love for Raven," he smirks, keeping his voice low enough that no one else at the party would be able to pick up on it. Upon Amber's mention of Eden, his smile vanishes.

"Why would I want to talk to Eden? I'm way beyond over that. Totally moved on. Not my type anymore- Recently I'm into red-heads with nice asses, y'know?" He manages to put up a grin with his words, but it is insincere. Easier to try and brush something away than confront his own inadequacy in the face of his long-lasting feelings.

Amber eyes widened a bit. There was no way she was just going to walk up to Raven and confess her love. Just the idea of it, put knots in her stomach. Raven had never expressed any kind of interested in Amber when they were in high school. Raven just seemed cooler and much stronger emotionally than Amber could ever be. She was just lucky that Raven even wanted to be around her.

"I will do no such thing." She said with some embarrassment. The anxious feeling was starting to sink in as she thought about approaching Raven tonight. What would she even say? She is probably better off without her. Will's words had brought Amber out of her thoughts. He claimed that he was completely over the blonde and was into other women. The happiness he tried to put back on his face was fake. Amber didn't even bother trying to entertain his comment by going along with it.

The smile that was on Amber's face had disappeared. "You're lying. And you are lying to my face." Will was her best friend. She knew everything about him and knew exactly how to read him. "I'm not suggesting you tell her you love her. But you should talk to her. Don't you want to know how she's been doing?"

"I'm kidding, I'm kidding! Geez Amber, did all the saltwater get to your head?" Will shoots back, his smile well-meaning but the comment a bit rudely dismissive. His smile vanishes when Amber's does, as he can see immediately that's she's seen right through his bullshit. Amber always does, and yet he will still make an attempt to sneak one past her.

"Okay, okay, you got me, I'm sorry. I just really don't want to start a conversation and hear about her rich manager boyfriend pimp, or whatever he is," Will admits grudgingly. He wants to know how Eden is doing, of course, but at the same time hearing about her success will only make him feel smaller. Will has a bad habit of viewing his own happiness and success as relative to that of other people's. His envy has always been a serious problem.

Amber felt better when Will admitted his true feelings regarding Eden and why he didn't want to talk to her. The explanation even came with an apology. She decided to not to bring up how it was rude to refer to Eden's manager/boyfriend in that way. It wasn't worth dealing with whatever jealous feelings would follow up. She wasn't going to force her friend to talk to anyone at the party either, just like he wasn't going to force her to talk to anyone.

"Okay. How about neither of us talk to our crushes tonight and let's just play catch-up," She figured that would be better than either of them awkwardly trying to talk to anyone else. Also she genuinely wanted to know what Will was up too. They spoke often when they were away, but it isn't the same as a face to face conversation.

"What's life like for Mr. Harrington without me in it?" Amber questioned with some humor in her voice.

Will once more visibly loosens up a bit at Amber's suggestion that they not confront their crushes for the time being. He smiles at the inquiry, "Not as good as it would be if you were in it, that's for sure. But otherwise more of the same, I guess. I start grad school this coming fall- but you already know that. It's pretty much a rotation of parties, the gym, and -believe it or not- school. Trying to get my GPA up a bit more if I want to find a half-decent internship, y'know? Any company would be lucky to have me, of course, but they'll never learn that if my grades don't meet their minimum. But that's boring stuff, isn't it? I want to hear about your adventures in California, they've got to be more excited than my smalltime university. What's up in the West?"

Will imagines that the parties and the girls and just about everything must be better in California, but knowing that Amber isn't much of a partier doesn't press specifically into those things. It all seems very cool though- the sort of place he likes to picture himself being one day. Maybe he'll find some tech genius and be the business end of things, leading him straight to silicon valley. That's the dream, anyway.

Amber already knew much about Will's life, but watching him talk about it was different. He was genuinely interested in going to grad school and getting a high quality internship. Amber knew how smart and how hard-working her best friend was. Anyone would be lucky to have him and he knew it too. She didn't really get to respond or give him any words of encouragement before he wanted to move on from his life to hers. Amber didn't really see her life as exciting or adventurous, but she could see why people would want to know about it.

"You know I don't do anything fun." She said jokingly. "Outside of recording and performing at some of the venues, I try to avoid social gatherings. Even though now, it seems like I am being traveling more and meeting more people. It is starting to become overwhelming." She admitted honestly. Amber understood that with fame came the social aspect of emulating some kind of happiness with her life. Unfortunately, Amber physically cannot display happiness. At least not all of the time. Her smiles aren't as bright as the other artists and her voice isn't as enthusiastic. Her manager reassures her that her image is in pristine condition, but she isn't sure how long that will last.

"I have been going to the beach more often than usual. Though, it's always private and quiet," Amber added with a laugh, not wanting to think more about her singer career.
