One in a Million
*Chapter One Hundred & Nine; Part One*
Amber's POV:
I
scooped Lilli up out of
bed and carried her
down the stairs. She
wasn't fully awake
yet, so she didn't
see the colorful tree
with all of her
presents hiding under
it. She rubbed her eyes
as I sat her on the
bottom step, slipping
on her jacket and
boots.
"Mommy, where are we going?" I lifted her into my arms again and carried her out the door. I forgot my parents had an alarm system; I disarmed it before I walked out. It was still the same password so I got out with no trouble.
"We just have to take a ride. Okay, Angel?" My mind was moving a mile a minute as I buckled her into her car seat and ran to scrape the ice off of the car. The winter wasn't real bad over here, but the chill in the air was cold enough to freeze everything.
Once the car was good to go, I hopped in and started to drive away. I just so happened to look up at my window, where Liam was peaking out of the shades. I shot him an apologetic smile and pulled out of the driveway. At first I drove around town, trying to figure out who would be open on Christmas morning, this early.
I pulled into the Shop Rite parking lot and carried Lilli in. I bought a dozen red roses then rushed back out to the car. Poor Lilli wasn't even awake yet and I was pulling her all over the place. She asked me where we were going again as I drove through the main road in town.
"We just have to visit someone, Lilli. It's fine." I reached back and rubbed her knee, keeping my eyes on the icy, road. I drove over the railroad tracks, passed the Wawa, passed Madison, made a left, and finally made the second right to turn into the cemetary.
I drove all the way around and parked right in front of the headstone that was in the same path as theirs. I unbuckled Lilli and set her down on the ground. "It's okay, Angel." I grabbed her hand and walked her back to their headstone; she looked a little scared.
I sat down in the frozen grass and patted my lap for Lilli to sit down in; the roses were laying on the ground next to my leg. She ran to me and fell into my arms. Lilli's head rested back on my shoulder as I hugged her as tight as I could. For her sake, I held back my emotions as much as I could.
"Who are we visiting, Mommy?" Her little hands played with the rose petals. I looked at her and a tear fell from my eyes; she might have looked like Niall, but she looked like me too; I saw my Mommom and Ryan in her so much, as well.
