Ambre, Mon Coeur

Aimee's New Friend

AMBRE

Following behind them was a familiar-looking dark skin woman and a tall sharp Jawed man, whose eyes were so blue I could see them from where I was sitting. Which was pretty far. They held hands and looked at each other lovingly. As they got closer the women began to look even more familiar. She turned to the side and revealed her very curvaceous backside and that's when I recalled where I had seen her. Ebony! A happy bubble of happiness filled my chest. I tapped Ezra and pointed to her. "Ezra look, it's Ebony!" he looked over and confirmed with a nod. "I'm gonna go and say hi." I wadded my way through the blue water and exclaimed an excited "Hey!" When I got close. Ebony spun around with a big smile already plastered on her face. She was glowing, literally. Her braids were beautiful and glossy, her skin was clear and gorgeous. She was what I would call an example of a bad bitch. Her bathing suit didn't compliment her, she complimented the bathing suit, a literal goddess she was.

"Ambre girl hey! How is it going?" her voice was sweet and kind. "Everything is great I haven't seen you in a long while," I responded with the same energy. The little girl turned to give the baby back to Ebony. Her children were absolutely adorable, the little baby reached for Ebony's necklace and shouted in protest as Ebony took the necklace out of his hand. It was all so cute. Ebony handed the baby to the tall man. "Mason holds Oliver, he's going to break my necklace." Ebony laughed as she passed the energetic toddler to the man. Which I assume is Mason and Oliver is the little one. Mason had jet black hair, it was tousled making him look handsome and carefree. It was giving "I woke up like this" vibes. Ebony grabs my hand and interlocks her fingers with mine. " Mason this is the girl that ran over Ashely," Ebony said in a tone that wasn't serious at all. Mason chuckles and pats my shoulder as if saying "good job". Before I can say anything Ebony pulls me along. "Let's go get a drink!"

Authors note: See the world through Aimee's eyes.

AIMEE

The water saw cool on my skin and Everything was so perfect a bubbly laugh explodes from my chest. This was the best birthday, ever! I hear a loud shriek and then a wave of water crashes into me. A girl around my age with a big wet curly ponytail laughs as she splashes me. I splash her too. We laugh uncontrollably. "Hey what's your name? My name is Zena!" she voice was so kind and welcoming. "My name is Aimee with an I and 2 ee's!" I beamed at her. "Woah your name sounds so cool!" I thanked her and grabbed her hand. "Let's go check out the surf pool!" Zena nodded excitedly and let me pull her along.

ANAIS

I watched the sexiest man I had ever seen holding a little toddler with cute little curls and then I couldn't stop what was coming next. I couldn't ignore the scratching in my brain. I saw happiness and I immediately wanted to ruin it. Why is everyone else happy but me? What was wrong with me? I need help. I need help. With horrible Intentions, I swam over slowly to the edge of the pool where the man was standing. His back was to the pool tickling the baby whose little shrieks of happiness filled the air. I pushed the back of his knee forcefully without thinking. Not waiting for him to fall, I sink deeper into the pool and watch his back break the surface of the water, and the baby falls in with him. I watch him try to grab the baby but the waves from the people barreling down the slide pull the baby farther away from him. Bubbles escape his mouth as he tries to scream. Calling out to the baby?  His black hair floated around his head like a halo. His face held a terrified expression.

Happiness coursed through my veins as I assessed my mischief from under the pool. A dark body plunged into the water as well the man and the dark-skinned figure swim fast over to the baby. They pull the baby out of the water right as I begin to run out of breath. I swim to the surface and am met with loud screaming and horrified faces. People surround the pool as dark skinned lady probably the mom, gives the baby CPR. I don't feel bad at all. In fact, it takes everything in me not to bust out laughing. The baby begins to cough out little spurts of water and then begins to cry loudly. The crowd cheers happily as the mother scoops up her baby, tears rolling down her face as a small girl around Aimee's age rips through the crowd. Aimee comes right behind her. What?

Ambre follows behind as well, her face scared and worried. "Oh my gosh is he okay? What the hell? What happened." The man starts to explain and I immediately realize that I should have gotten out of the water when I had the chance. Everyone was out of the water and there I was, the only one sitting smugly in the pool. My hair was soaked and a guilty expression on my face. Ambre narrows her eyes at me and she doesn't look shocked at all, just angry and disappointed.

EBONY

I looked at Oliver as I gave him a bath he sniffled and cried because his nose burned from getting water in it in the pool. He had stopped crying some time ago and I was still crying. This could have all been an accident but my baby could have drowned and it scares me. I dry him off and hold him to my chest tightly. Zena tried to follow me upstairs but I reassured her that her brother was okay and that she should go have fun and not feel guilty. Mason felt so bad he broke down and began to cry right when we got into our hotel. I could still hear his sniffles and sobs. I walked into the room, Oliver sleeping soundly, nestled into my chest. "Baby stop crying. He's fine we are fine. I love you. Stop crying or I'm gonna cry."

Mason picked his face up from the pillow his face was splotchy and red from crying and his eyebrows and mouth were set in a grim expression. I had never seen Mason this upset and it made sense but it was over now. "Ebi, literally I was holding him something- someone pushed the back of my knee It gave out and I fell backward. And so many people were in the water and he kept drifting farther and farther away or I would have gotten him already I swear." Mason's voice breaks and cracks as he begins to tear up again. I pull him in and we smuggle up close holding Oliver between us tighlty. 

Whoever did this will pay.
