Capítulo 45: Best friend's

Amber tossed and turned on the bed, still struggling to shake off the anxious feeling. Her mind was still reeling from the events of the night, and the image of De-Martin loomed in her mind. She could still remember the cold, intense look in his eyes as he advised her to be careful. She felt vulnerable and exposed, like a mouse caught in a trap. Despite her exhaustion, her mind was still racing, thoughts and worries swirled through her mind. She closed her eyes, trying to ignore the feeling of being watched.

Amber's mind was in turmoil as she lay on the bed, her thoughts racing with worry and desperation. She knew she had failed to get De-Martin's attention tonight, and time was running out. The Mayor had made it clear that there were no more second chances. Amber could feel the pressure bearing down on her, the weight of her mission weighing heavily on her shoulders. She knew she had to do something tomorrow to catch De-Martin's attention, but she had no idea how. She tossed and turned in bed, her mind desperately trying to come up with a plan.

Amber continued to toss and turn on the bed, her mind racing with thoughts and plans. The clock on the wall ticked noisily, marking the minutes that slipped through her fingers. She was desperate, scared, and felt a sense of helplessness creeping in. She had to think of something to get De-Martin's attention. But the more she thought, the more unsure she became. Her mind felt like a labyrinth, her thoughts becoming more confused and tangled. She took a deep breath, trying to steady herself.

Amber's phone vibrated on the bedside table, the screen illuminating the dim light of the room. She saw the name "Mia" flashing across the screen, and in a flash, she had sprung out of bed and answered the call. Her eyes filled with joy and relief as she saw her best friend Mia's face on the screen.

"Hey Iris... I missed you so much."

Amber's phone suddenly vibrated on the bedside table, the soft jingle of the ringtone breaking through the silence of the room. As she picked up the phone, she saw the name "Mia" displayed on the screen, and a wave of happiness washed over her. She quickly answered the video call, feeling relieved to see the familiar face of her close friend.

Amber felt a rush of happiness as she saw Mia's face on the screen. She smiled softly, feeling the tension leaving her shoulders. Seeing her friend's face made her feel less alone, like she had an anchor in the sea of uncertainty. She felt safer with Mia's presence, even if it was only through a video call.

Mia spoke softly on the screen, a warm smile on her face. "I missed you so much," she said, her eyes sparkling. Amber felt a warmth spread through her chest. Hearing Mia's voice, seeing her familiar face was like a comfort in the midst of the chaos and fear that had consumed her. She couldn't help but feel a rush of affection and nostalgia, knowing that Mia was the one person she could always rely on.

Amber felt her heart soften as she heard Mia's words. The sight and sound of her friend was a balm to her weary soul. Mia's words of "I missed you so much" echoed through Amber's mind, bringing a sense of comfort and belonging. The simple phrase seemed to carry layers of meaning, a testament to the deep bond between the two friends. Amber couldn't help but replay the words in her mind, her heart and mind finding solace in their simplicity and sincerity.

Mia's sharp instincts picked up on the fact that something was off with Amber. She noticed the hint of fatigue in her friend's eyes and the tension in her shoulders. Concerned for Amber, she asked, "Is everything okay? You look tired. What's going on?" Mia's voice was gentle but tinged with worry. She knew Amber well enough to know something was bothering her, and she was eager to find out what it was.

Amber was taken aback by Mia's perceptive question. She had hoped to hide her exhaustion and worry from her friend, but Mia had always been good at reading her. Amber let out a heavy sigh, feeling the weight of everything that had happened pressing down on her. She knew she couldn't keep secrets from her closest friend, so she decided to come clean.

Amber took a deep breath, feeling a sense of relief at being able to share her worries with Mia. "I don't know where to start," she admitted, her voice laced with exhaustion and unease. "I'm caught up in this... complicated situation, and I don't know what to do. I feel like I'm in over my head." She fidgeted nervously with the hem of her shirt, her mind filled with swirling thoughts.

Mia's expression softened as she took in her friend's words. She could tell how overwhelmed and worried Amber was. She wanted to comfort her friend, to offer her support and understanding. "It's okay," Mia said gently. "You can tell me everything. I'm here for you, no matter what." She leaned in closer to the screen, her eyes full of concern and affection.

Amber spent a few minutes gathering her thoughts, then she began to tell Mia everything about the Mayor, De-Martin, and her job at the Velvet Lounge. She shared every detail, every worry and fear, knowing that she could rely on Mia to understand and support her. Mia listened intently, her expression shifting from surprise to confusion to horror as Amber laid bare the secrets of her life.

Mia's face was a mixture of fright, shock, and worry. She had never imagined that her friend could be stuck in such a dangerous and precarious situation. The thought of Amber being in danger sent her heart racing with fear. "Oh Iris, no," she whispered, her voice shaking with concern. "You're in a terrible situation. This is so dangerous. That Mayor and De- Martin sound like the absolute worst." Mia's mind was racing, trying to come up with solutions and ways to help her friend.

Tears streamed down Amber's face as she confessed to Mia that she was scared. The weight of her worries and fears was too much to bear. "I'm so scared," she said, her voice shaking. "It feels like I'm walking on a tightrope, and if I make one wrong move, I'll fall." She felt a mixture of fear, helplessness, and desperation.

Mia's heart broke seeing her friend crying and expressing her fears. She wanted to reach through the screen and just give her a tight hug. "It's going to okay. I won't let anything bad happen to you," she said firmly. "I'll do whatever I can to help you." She tried to think of solutions, her mind racing to find a way to get Amber out of her dangerous predicament.

Mia spoke with conviction, her voice firm. "Don't worry, I'll be there first thing tomorrow morning," she said.

"It's only a one-hour drive, and I won't let you go through this alone. I promise I'll be there for you, no matter what." Her determination and unwavering support filled Amber with a sense of relief and gratitude. She knew she could count on Mia, and that fact alone brought her a small measure of comfort.

Amber shook her head, her eyes filled with worry. "No, you can't come here," she said, her voice filled with concern.

"It's too dangerous. If you come here, you'll put yourself in danger as well. I can't bear the thought of something happening to you because of me." Amber's voice trembled as she tried to dissuade Mia from coming, even as her heart longed for the comfort of her friend.

Mia could see the worry etched on Amber's face, but she was determined to be there for her friend. "I know it's dangerous, but I don't care," she said firmly.

"You're my best friend, and I'd rather face danger by your side than sit here and do nothing while you're going through all this alone." Mia pleaded, her eyes full of determination.
