Broken Obsession - Part Two (25 page)

“Oh my God!”
Amber let out, loud and
unexpectedly.

It wasn’t a dream, it had all been real and Amber
swung her legs over the lounge chair and grabbed her head and after
that, her heart as she covered up her mouth with both her hands.
She was going to throw up…and then she did—and began to let loose
the malicious poison that was the root to all her horrific
hallucinations.

Out came the pain, out came the sorrow, out came her
selfish decisions and out came the end.

Still on all fours, Amber wiped off her brow first
before she reached out for her son. To affirm that she still wasn’t
dreaming, Amber yelled out, “Peyton?”

And she shut her eyes again, hoping that she was
really awake and commanded through sobs, “Peyton, baby? Is that
really you?” She watched in horror as Mrs. Lopez continued to
shelter him from her bizarre panic. Amber needed affirmation
now
and cried out, “Mommy needs you,
please
, please
come here baby…please come here.”

Peyton stood idle for a few short moments and then
ran to his mother instantly. With two wide open arms, Amber seized
her little boy…alive, well, and a little sun-burned on the tips of
his shoulders from his mommy forgetting to put sun-screen on his
body, but otherwise — OK.

Good Lord, Peyton was still alive!

Amber at that time buried her face in the side of his
neck and simultaneously released huge sobs of relief, clutching him
fierce from seeing him again and began to cry—no bawl—from the
realization of what brought her to that point.

It wasn’t a bad dream, it was
before
the
nightmare’s had began and in front of Peyton diving into the pool
to save the puppy before Patience had darted after the tennis
ball.

Amber continued to cry when she looked up to see
Dusty Denver, the pool man entering on the lawn from the back gate,
he was carrying chemicals in one hand while the other waved a
friendly hello.

Mrs. Lopez in turn took a quick look over at Amber
still holding Peyton within her arms and determined he was safe and
walked over to greet Dusty.

Amber still held onto Peyton and didn’t let him go
when she noticed Patience wet from head to paws with a squishy
yellow ball inside his mouth wagging his tail.

Amber then began to cry a little bit harder…

It was a scenario; a theory, if you want to give it a
name. If a person chooses
Plan A
then
Outcome A
will
be their ending, but if they choose
Plan B
, then
Outcome
B
will be their destiny. Amber chose Plan B which consisted of
all the wrong decisions.

Ever wished you could go back in time and do it all
over again? Have a do-over, erase all your poor decisions and make
the right or corrected ones? Have you ever asked yourself…why did I
get involved with that guy? Or why did I cheat on that test when I
knew all the answers? Or why did I move to that city or why did I
spend so much money at the mall? Why did I sleep with him/her? Why
did you stay out all night or why didn’t I go to the dentist months
ago?

Well, Amber prayed for it daily and although it
wasn’t really a miracle like one would assume; it did turn out to
be a result if she had maintained her path of self-destruction.

*****

Amber waited patiently in the living room with Peyton
still in her arms when Eduardo finally came through the door.

And when she sees him, Amber instantly darts toward
her husband and cried in his arms hysterically.

After several hours of trying to calm Amber down
Eduardo confessed to Amber that he did know Stacey back in high
school and they were once boyfriend and girlfriend, but he never
slept with her. In truth, he did find her still attractive, but no
one could ever hold a candle to his wife’s beauty nor could he ever
love another woman as much as he did Amber.

Eduardo told his wife that Stacey had been fired that
morning from the firm finding evidence that she had been inflating
contracts and embezzling money from their clientele, and Tony?
Anthony Rivera was once his business partner, but they soon
departed when he lost a substantial amount of money from one of
their ventures and they amicably parted ways, and Kristen Goldberg?
She was a former client of his, suing her ex-husband for
withdrawing their joint bank account and seizing all her assets and
flying off to Brazil. Amber must have read about her and her case
from his files or by the newspaper…and the dog?

Eduardo nodded his head in the path of a sleeping
Golden Retriever puppy and Amber closed her eyes and held her
little boy sleeping soundly within her confine. Peyton had his
thumb in his mouth while Amber kissed him constantly.

Later, the three of them walked together into
Peyton’s bedroom even as Eduardo gently let go of his wife. Amber
kissed her son’s head one last time and protectively leaned into
Peyton before laying him down on his bed to rest. He was only
asleep; she had to keep reminding herself…only sleeping and
not…
gone
.

Grabbing her husband’s hand, she turned into him as
Eduardo collectively gathered her body near and gave her a
reassuring hug. Amber then gazed down at their son sleeping soundly
and unaware of the horror his mother had went through. Tears then
began to fall again as Amber, after that, knelt down at the foot of
his bed, raised her head up to the ceiling and prayed to the Lord,
thanking Him for giving her a new start and for showing her what
could have been if she continued to be temperamental, impulsive and
emotional…and the road back to Plan A.

“Thank you Lord for continuing to make me feel
special by the man that I love and thank you Lord for giving me a
second chance with my son and showing me the true crossroad to
follow…Thank you Lord, thank you...”
