The day everything went downhill: chapter two

It was getting somewhat late and David was getting more nervous every time the minute hand went by on the clock in Amber's kitchen. He leaned on to the table and somehow fell asleep.........1

Him and Amber were walking through a field of fresh flowers and he picked one for her and gave it to her, telling her how much he loved her. Amber laughed the way she always did, and said, "I love you too David!" They kept walking together hand in hand until Amber slowly started walking away from him. She just turned and walked away. 2

.......The phone ringing brought David back to reality. He jumped up and answered it. It was the hospital asking to talk to Johnna. David told them she was sleeping and asked if he could take a message. The lady on the other end said very calmly, "Yes, Could you tell her to call us back ASAP, and let us know which funeral home she would like Amber's body to be taken to?" Dead silence. "Hello?" Nothing. "Sir? Are you still there?" David managed to squeak out an, "Yeah, I'll pass the message along." and hung up. 3

David attempted to call his mom, but couldn't remember his own number. He had to do something. This was too much to handle. He went to wake Johnna up. She was out. There was no waking her up. He wrote a quick note for her on a napkin to call the hospital and that if she needed him, his cell would be on, and took off. He didn't want to go home, so he drove around in the country for awhile. 4

After about twenty minutes driving, he was crying so bad that he couldn't really see, so he pulled over on the side of the gravel road. He sat there and tried to calm down. The love of his life was gone. The one who had gotten him to where he was in life today was gone. Taken from him. Right out from under his nose. He began to realize how different things would be and drifted off...................5

There he was standing in his kitchen, his cell phone ringing, but all he could think of was Amber. Her smell, her laugh, her smile, her voice, everything about her. Girls had been calling him none stop since Amber was gone and he didn't want to talk to any of them. He just wanted his Amber back. They had life all planned out. Kids, a big house, everything. He changed his answering machine message to, "I don't care what you want, and if you can't bring Amber back, don't bother leaving a message, because I WONT CALL YOU BACK!" His dad walked into the house with some other lady... not his mom. This wasn't right, but David just said hi to them and turned around and threw his cell phone in the garbage.6

..................His cell phone ringing brought him back to reality. It was his mom. She was worried about where he was. He told her what he had figured out from the phone call at Amber's house and that he'd just left Johnna there. His mom started crying and he couldn't take it so he told her he was going and would be home in a bit. 7

When he got home, he went directly upstairs. His mom had heard him come in and went to his room to just be there. She gave him a hug and just held him like he was just a young boy again. He just cried in her arms as she cried also. You see, Amber was the type of girl that Melissa had pictured her son with since he was a little boy. Everyone loved Amber also. David fell asleep in his mothers arms.8
