Amber was in hers and Michael's room, packing everything. He was at work, not being able to concentrate. She was crying and the kids just stayed in the room for the time being.
She sat down and got on the computer and Dakota came in and went over to the computer, when Amber wasn't looking and turned on a song.
Jonny helped her get their father on the computer and a song began to play. They both lifted their heads and just listened to the song.
It went like this: How will I start
Tomorrow without you here
Who's heart will guide me
When all the answers disappear
Is it too late
Are you too far gone to stay
This one's forever
Should never have to go away
What will I do
You know I'm only half without you
How will I make it through
If only tears could bring you back to me
If only love could find a way
What I would do, what I would give
If you returned to me someday
Somehow, someway
If my tears could bring you back to me
I'd cry you an ocean
If you'd sail on home again
Waves of emotion
Will carry you, I know they can
Just love will guide you
And your heart will chart the course
Soon you'll be drifting
Into the arms of your true north
Look in my eyes
And you will see a million tears have gone by
And still they're not dry
If only tears could bring you back to me
If only love could find a way
What I would do, what I would give
If you returned to me someday
Somehow, someway
If my tears could bring you back to me
I hold you close
And shout the words I only whispered before
For one more chance, for one last dance
There's not a thing I would not endure
If only tears could bring you back to me
If onlylovecould find a way
What I would do, what I would give
If you returned to me someday
Somehow, someway
If my tears could bring you back to me
Amber and Michael looked at the computer and they saw each other. Amber's eyeliner was running and Michael didn't look at all happy.
They put their hands on the screen and looked at each other.
"Michael…" she began to say.
"I know…I'm so sorry…I just…I couldn't stand him talking about you like that…" he said.
"I'm sorry…that he had to be the one…"
He nodded and looked at her. She recently told Michael that she was leaving and that she did not want him to come home.
She looked at him and sighed, she couldn't survive without him…at all. She took a deep breath and laughed a bit.
"I must be a sight huh?" she wiped her eyes, seeing the eyeliner on her hands.
He smiled, "You are always beautiful to me…"
She smiled and then asked, "Please come home?"
He smiled, that was all he really wanted to hear from her. He kissed the screen and she kissed back.
"I'll be home in thirty minutes…" he said.
She nodded and closed the computer, she held her kids and they smiled and sighed, they were happy and they waited for daddy to come home.
