## Plot

### Season 1

Amber is starting a new school with her protective younger brother. She's always moved because of being bullied. As she explains to Ford, she thought a friend was trustworthy and told her all of her secrets, but when Amber was "ill" she started spreading rumours about Amber, much to her horror. Therefore, Amber trusts no one.

But Amber does meet Luis, who has lost his memory. She's quite confused about it, but accepts it, and wants to meet Madison, which she does, but Madison seems annoyed and rattled.

She and Luis are also bullied by Cara and Michaela, the school's worst nightmares. Cara has plans, plans that will break Amber. Amber ends up having a conversation with Johnny, finding out he's Cara's brother but hates her. She wants Ford and Johnny to become friends, which they do, but Ford runs to Amber for help when he gets slightly mad at Johnny, because he's hiding things about Cara.

In S1E5, Amber and Luis find Michaela crying in the showers. Cara scared her, but they're pleased Michaela is supporting them all the way now.

In S1E7, Amber refuses to go into school, much to Ford's surprise. She doesn't want to face Cara. When Luis calls her to say that Ford, Johnny, Michaela, and Cara have all disappeared, she rushes immediately to meet him, then meeting up with Madison and Kelly. The four of them search for the rest of the kids, eventually finding Ford and Michaela at the bottom of the staircase. Amber feels so guilty for not going into school. Johnny and Cara are arguing at the top of the staircase, eventually Johnny runs off. Amber later runs off to find him and talk to him.

When Amber finds Johnny, he explains, but eventually she starts to believe that maybe Johnny's actually working with Cara, and she starts getting mad at him, though later Madison settles that it isn't Johnny. Cara appears in front of Johnny and Amber. Johnny soon runs off, leaving Amber alone with her. Madison and Kelly appear not soon after. Cara forces them into a shed, knocking it down and running out. Madison and Amber manage to make it out. Amber is shocked when it lands on Kelly, killing her.

Amber takes Madison to the hospital whilst she's crying to see the others. Both of them despise breaking the news to Ford and Johnny.

### Season 2

Amber tries to talk to Ford but he won't listen, and he also refuses to go into school. She says he can't avoid it forever. She tries to get Johnny to talk to him, but Ford won't listen to even his best friend.

Amber is later fuming when she finds that Ford let Eliana in, because Eliana broke her necklace so many years ago. She is also shocked when she learns that her mum collapsed and Ford wouldn't tell her. The two of them break into an argument which ends on Amber saying she hates Ford and that she never wants to see him ever again, and that he shouldn't have let Eliana in. She knows she's bad news. Amber turns to leave but Eliana smashes her prized snowglobe and Amber runs off, stunned. She knows that time it wasn't an accident, but Ford doesn't.

She then talks to Cara about her problems, as well as Luis who questions as to why she said what she said. She later apologises to Ford and then tells him to keep away from Eliana, something which he won't listen to.

Later, Amber finds Eliana with a notepad, scribbling down many things about Ford, which are personal to him. She knows Eliana is up to something and tries to warn Ford. He eventually catches on.

In S2E11 Ford and Amber get burgled. Amber blames it on Ford and then legs it with a suitcase, running away. She does suddenly return to Ford's astonishment, but she doesn't stay for long because she knows Eliana has more plans and when Ford and Amber are at a market, Amber suddenly leaves to run after her. Ford tells her not to go. She keeps Eliana hostage in an alleyway, because she cares about Ford. But in theory, Eliana was only leading her on a wild goose chase.

Amber also has to help Ford because he keeps asking for advice on how to apologise to Johnny. The two of them plan to talk to Johnny on a Sunday. Ford hopes Amber is back by then.

Amber is shocked when Johnny runs off and says he needs to go. Ford starts going crazy and yelling at Amber, making her very angry and then running off. She's shocked when she learns of the accident.

Amber is also angry when she learns Ford also told Eliana personal things about her and not just him.

She appears on Livie's doorstep to see Ford just as the family talk starts. She joins the group.

In S2E28, she enters the hall whilst Eliana is spilling Ford and her secrets. She starts crying, willing Eliana to stop. Luis also tells her to stop. Eliana also makes Ford realise that Amber was being selfish and never really cared about Ford, causing Ford to be pretty distraught.

In the car on the way home she's very silent because she's thinking about what happened, she's still slightly mad at Ford, and she won't focus on anything. The two of them do talk at the party though. Their relationship is never fully repaired though. She also dances with Luis.

### Season 3

Luis and her finally start dating in season 3. But she does have a really bad attitude at times - even with Luis. And she doesn't seem to care too much about Ford. The tension at home is high and Ford is never around so she can never really say much. She gets angry at everyone. She does want to know the truth about her dad, but not as badly as Ford does. Amber isn't that fussed about her mum's new relationship. She doesn't like Rayalynn that much, but does still speak to her. Rayalynn is on Ford's side which annoys Amber.

When Ford gets kidnapped she tells Johnny she needs to sleep, like she doesn't even care. When Ford is brought back by Lilliana though, she thanks her. Ford doesn't think she really cares though.

Later on Ford starts yelling at her when she tries to apologise. He ends in saying he regrets helping her, even though he vowed before he'd never say that. Amber is shocked and hurt but knows he's right.

After Lilliana falls off the bridge, Ford, Johnny, and Nico return home and demand for the full story from Rose. Ford yells at his mum in the end because he's annoyed she never told him Nate was murdered by Yvonne. As soon as he blurts this out, Amber is fuming, yells at Ford for not telling her but telling Johnny and Nico (even though Lilliana told Johnny - not Ford). Then she yells at Johnny saying he's not family and it's a family matter when he tries to defend Ford. And then yells at Nico when he does the same. She then runs off, her relationships completely broken. No one knows if she'll come back.

### Season 4

She meets Kayla, Chantelle, Ellaia, and Ethan, who welcome her and agree to help her. She eventually puts her trust in them hoping they can help her safely get rid of Cara, due to the fact Cara blackmailed Amber that she'd hurt Ford if Amber didn't run away. Her new friends allow her to sleep over, and buy her groceries for her, as well as lend her wigs and garments so that she can return to her town without anyone knowing and speak to Nico without anyone seeing her. Amber is shocked to here about Kayla's sister's disappearance and how much Kayla cares about repairing broken families. Amber is disgusted at Scarlett's behaviour towards Kayla.

❝ Why, what have you got to do? And yes, Eliana, I did feel guilty, but I didn't tell Ford because I thought it would hurt him seeing as he'd helped me for so long and that I'd almost be...'rejecting' his help. ❞ (Season 2 Episode 28)

### Season 3

❝ My brother practically lives at his best friends house, my mother is more interested in staring at Nico's lips than giving me any attention. You seem too busy for me because of family situations. How do you expect me to behave?! ❞ (Season 3 Episode 4) To Luis.

❝ Mum and Ford's arguments make everything tense. And it's terrifying by how silent the house is sometimes. and in terms of being horrible, well when you wake up to your mum and Nico doing "stuff" in the kitchen- ❞ (Season 3 Episode 7) To Luis.

❝ Don't mention Eliana to ANYONE, except Luis, he'll be fine. And don't say that you're my cousin - assumptions will be made fairly quickly. People like Ford - they don't like me. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 11) To Rayalynn.

❝ I was being bullied and relied on him to help me, so much so that he never told me that he was being bullied and I put a massive burden on him - I trusted him and he didn't want to break my heart by dealing with his own problems instead of mine. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 13) To Rayalynn.

❝ Ford was outside - he cried for me - when I went outside all I saw were skid marks and this pen cap, oh my gosh… ❞ (Season 3 Episode 15) To Rose and Nico.

❝ I really miss when us two used to be close - like best friends. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 24) To Ford.

❝ So what? and, I remember our first day at the new school; we were so close then. Ford risked everything for me to face Cara, and now he regrets it… ❞ (Season 3 Episode 24) To Rayalynn.

❝ Maybe Ford does hate me, maybe he meant everything he said, but I totally understand why he isn't on good terms with mum and I feel for him. He's 11, not 5, he deserves the truth and no one is going to give it to him. Maybe, I'm not so bothered about the truth myself - depends what it is - but if he wants to know he should - I'm 14 and people won't even tell me. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 25) To Nico and Rayalynn.

❝ Why wouldn't I? I don't even blame him for what he said because he was right. And maybe he said it in the wrong way, maybe not, but he's a broken boy. He lost his dad at 3 years old, he's been bullied and no one - not even his family - knew about it. He kept it hidden. He got thrown down a staircase by his best friend's sister, and he got his heart shattered by his cousin...no one, except Johnny, even knows what it's like for him. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 25) To Nico.

❝ Ford told me he regretted helping me and the truth is...I don't blame him. I get why he said it and maybe I was hurt, but it's only the truth that hurts. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 25) To Luis.

❝ Lied to my brother who deserves to know the truth! He's so desperate to know the truth, he just wants to know, mum! And you won't even give him that! ❞ (Season 3 Episode 26) To Rose.

❝ I just...want this party to be awesome, for him and everyone else. Dad would've loved this, and he would've wanted Ford to be happy. If only he could see Ford now… ❞ (Season 3 Episode 27) To Luis.

❝ This is a family ONLY matter, Johnny! ❞ (Season 3 Episode 34)

❝ The one person who he used to really look up to thought he set her car on fire and she got very angry when he mentioned his own dad. She was also extremely horrible to his best friend. That’s what you did. If that doesn’t destroy his mental health even more… you didn’t even seem to care about the bullying, and you didn’t care when he got kidnapped. You didn’t even try to help him when Eliana was manipulating him, which ended up in Johnny getting hit by a car. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 36) To Rose.

❝ You’re jealous, aren’t you? You’re possessive. You liked it when Ford helped me and you liked it when he didn’t have any friends because he was always around. You don’t want to see him grow up, I know you want Ford to stay your “little boy” but the truth is he’s 12 now, he’s making friends, and it’s not your right to stop him from doing what he wants. He and his friends actually know what they’re dealing with. They would risk their lives for him. I know you want him to yourself again, but mum face it, he has his own life now, let him keep it. Maybe if you’d initially been nicer he’d be around more…but you ruined your relationship. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 36) To Rose.

❝ It's not me you should be apologising to. It’s Ford. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 36) To Rose.

❝ Yeah, I was angry he didn’t tell me at first, but actually I should’ve been angry at you more. You told neither of us! You refused to tell Ford, and at one point you even said “not in front of Amber” like I’m still a little girl. Well, I’m not. I uhhh almost have a boyfriend, I have friends, you  have to let us have our own lives, you can’t live your life through your children. You need a friend, but this isn’t how you make friends. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 36) To Rose.

❝ I just hope for everyone’s sake that he’s not seriously hurt. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 38) To Johnny.

❝ Spare me the guilt-tripping. You know full well how much he hurts from your actions. You’re not blameless in this whole ordeal. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 40) To Rose.

❝ No. I’m going to defend my brother, like he defended /me/. I owe him the world, so I want to give him the world. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 40) To Rose.

❝ And you couldn’t even tell your own son was being bullied! I’m his sister, not his mother, you have a duty of care. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 40) To Rose.

❝ If I decide to flee I’d say goodbye to my brother, but not you. And thinking about it, it’d be cruel to leave Ford with you alone. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 40) To Rose.

❝ The fact that I’ve made mistakes and it’s time to fix them…and now. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 40) To Rose.

❝ Luis I’m leaving town. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 42)

❝ If you loved me you’d respect my wishes. I’m going to say goodbye to Ford once he’s finished seeing Lilliana. He said he’ll text me when and where. I only said I need to talk. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 42) To Luis.

❝ I can’t answer that, please Luis trust me. Protect Ford for me, please. ❞ (Season 3 Episode 42)
