The Lighthouse

Our Favorite Place

  Amber played with her golden locks of hair nervously as she ascended up the jagged rocks leading up to the Lighthouse. She heard a bird in the distance and trembled not with fright but with cold. It was December nearly January and she still wouldn't put a coat on. She didn't want to because she hated bulky coats but she loved sweaters. The sweater she had on right now was a creme colored sweater with a wolf paw on the right shoulder. She finally reached the top of the cliff where the Lighthouse was in time for the sun to start setting. That was not the reason she came, well at least not the most important one. Today was December 20th. Exactly 2 years since Amber's mother had died she lived by herself for 2 years and now she was about to turn 23.                                                                                                                                                         

 Amber had no one to celebrate with except her two friends her pet dog Al and her best friend Scarlet. So to say the least the only reason she was up there at the Lighthouse was because it was their favorite place. Hers and her mothers, they both had shared the love of that Lighthouse starting the day Amber's mom met her dad, at that time she was already born knowing nothing of her real dad or at least her biological dad. All she knew was his name, Jack. She knew him only until the age of 1, and then he left all she could remember was his eyes they were a light blue but that was it.                                

So the way Amber's mom and dad really met was a weird story, they were both invited to a party here at the top of the Lighthouse but unfortunately last minute when mom was already climbing up the rocks she got a text saying that the party was relocated right next to the Lighthouse in the lodge.            She replied with a okay thanks and kept going straight to the lodge. after a couple of minutes of walking mom tripped and a piece of glass got stuck to the thin layer of skin on the upper level of her knee.There was a picnic table nearby and she crawled to it and sat down to check her knee. Mom was a doctor so she knew how to handle this she took some tweaser's from her purse and took out the piece of glass and she but a band aid on it.                                                                                                                               

   Just when she was about to get up she heard a man calling saying " Anyone there?" She hollered back " yes just me" and long story short they ended up ditching the party going to the light house and making out. I always thought it was weird how they just knew each other for less then 30 minuets and they were already making out.                                                                                                                                                         Any way her father died a week before her mother of Cancer stage 4. Even though she only knew him for 18 years she still loved him like a girl would love their father and Amber mourned for him just as much as she mourned for Mom.                                                                                                                                                 After the sunset passed Amber headed to her apartment and thought about true love and miracles.
