ROBBIE'S POV
The first glass of ale I just had quickly became second and before my brain could process it turned into third,
Then forth
Next is sixth…
Wait, What? I can't seem to count anymore.
How many has it been, really?
I can't remember anymore they just kept on coming.
I could feel myself getting hotter and hotter by the moment, my head is spinning my throat burns and I had this urge to throw up the lunch I ate.
Wait did I had lunch?
"One…more" I croaked at the barkeeper, goodness not only that I feel horrible I also sounded horrible.
"No, enough kid. You should go home" the barkeeper said to me as he went over and tried to help me stand from the stool.
"I don't… no… I don't want to go home" I slurred
"No you've had enough" the innkeeper said firmly, what is he my mum? Can he even give birth, well chickens can, or was it the frogs. What? I can't understand myself.
I shook his hand away from my arm.
"F-fine… I'll go, how much is my bill?" I asked as I steadied myself using the bar counter.
"Two gold pieces" the barkeeper told me.
Reaching into my pocket I dug the two gold pieces I owe the keeper and handed it over.
"I'll go now, have a good night" I said as I tried to walk out of the tavern without tumbling.
Exiting the establishment I was greeted by the night sky, the stars shone brightly along with the moon. The warm summer breeze blew across my face it was taking way my dizziness. After trying to shake the drunkenness off of my head, I started to make my journey back home.
The warm breeze kept on coming while cricket noises emit everywhere.
It was a fine night if only my vision isn't wobbling and my feet could walk straight.
I could've enjoyed the scenery presented by the night sky and fireflies.
As I walk on, I noticed a faint glimmering figure on the side of the road.
It was a woman, floating in the air with all too familiar red hair.
"Robbie, what have you done? This isn't like you" she spoke gently.
"A-Amber" was the only thing I was able to say as I struggle to drag my feet towards her.
"Come on, I'll guide you home" she said as she flew right in front of me in order to lead the way.
As she promised she helped me find my way home, opening the door I entered our house then closed the door behind me as I entered but didn't bother locking it. The house is empty it was depressing when Kristy is not here, but it was fine. It would be in my best interest if she didn't see me in this state.
Struggling, I dragged myself towards the bedroom, and without any second thought I crashed down the bed.
Closing my eyes, my breathing started to even out and I could feel myself falling asleep.
Suddenly there was a bright light and out of nowhere, I was standing in the field. The weather is nice the sun shone brightly and the warm breeze swept across the vast field, in the distance I could see my parents laughing and smiling, they were so happy together.
As I watch my family from the distance, I felt a tap on my shoulder and as I turned around I saw a woman. She was very beautiful, her red hair flows as the wind blew and her eyes burned bright red like the embers of a fire.
She held a smile on her pink lips which is so bright it could put the sun in shame.
"What are you standing around for silly" she said with her soft voice.
Holding my hand she pulled me towards the direction of my parents.
As we walked further butterflies flew into the air which makes her looked like a fairy or maybe some kind of goddess.
"Robbie, stop staring at as if I'm going to disappear" she said jokingly.
"Hurry up silly or I'm going to leave you behind" she continued.
I wanted to…
I want to reach my parents with her beside me.
Holding her hand tighter, I walked faster matching her speed.
She stood by me, giving me a sweet smile.
Hand in hand we reached our destination.
My parents both looked up at us.
"Sit down you two" my father said with a smile on his face.
While my mother just looked at Amber and me, "A match made in heaven" she told us with a smile.
This made me happy, this scenario that happened a very long time ago.
Before misfortunes befall us, I wish I could turn back the hands of time and relive this moment over and over again.
But suddenly,
I'm standing in a different place.
The evening sky is dark yet it is lightened and beautified with a billion shining stars.
The moon up in the sky, dimly lighting my surroundings it was barely but enough to let me see the goddess standing before me.
The silver moonlight is illuminating her face, making it even more beautiful.
How could you not fall for such a wonderful and pure being?
"Robbie, I want to let you know that I love you. I love you very much" she said.
Ah yes, I remember this.
I was shocked and out of words that I struggled giving a reply.
But I was determined at that time. I did not sneak out of the house for nothing.
I still remember what I said that night and it still echoes in my mind after so many years.
With a trembling voice, I said.
"Amber Stone, I love you too more life itself."
I knelt down after that, took her hand, and kissed its back.
"I may not have a ring tonight but someday, I promise you. I will definitely marry you"
Amber pulled me up.
"Then I promise that no matter how many years it takes you, I will wait for you to ask my hand in marriage" she said chuckling.
We stayed still both looking into the others' eyes.
Deeply with love and joy, if only things ended up differently.
Standing back up, I inched closer and she did too.
Slowly our lips connected with one another.
With the moon as our witness and the stars as our light, we confessed our undying love.
After our kiss, I rested my forehead in hers with my eyes closed I could feel our noses are touching.
"I wish this moment could last forever" she said.
"Yes, I do too. If only things are different, no more hiding and no more sneaking around" I said longingly.
"Yes that sounds nice" she replied before giving me another peck on the lips.
I opened my eyes and looked at her, eyes filled with love.
This is our last happy memory... if only things were different…
if only.
