Thirty-Two Bridge (Luke Bryan)

Capitol Records and Bad News

Today's the day. I am beyond excited and so very blessed I get this opportunity it's actually amazing. I woke up at five because I was thinking about it all night. I made me some breakfast and turned on my boom box and played some music. After doing all that i went Upstairs to get ready.

I took a shower, washed my face, combed and jelled my hair and brushed my teeth. I decided to wear my new khaki pants along with my new button up maroon red shirt. I grabbed my new boots and wove through my black belt. I went back downstairs and grabbed my newest guitar my older one and my keys and headed out the door.

On my way I got a call. It was Michael.
"Hello."
"Yeah hey Luke. Should I grab my guitar?"
"I grabbed mine just incase and you are a guitar player so I am gonna guess ya grab it."
"Shit you're on your way already?"
"Yeah. But it's all right he wants to meet with me and then both of us.
"Alright man that was my question ill let ya go. See ya there."
I chuckled. "Alright man bye."
He always gets antsy and his nerves kick in even more than I and it's actually kind of funny. I kept checking my gone to see if Caroline texted me and I kept checking it. And checkin it. But she hadn't. She's been very distance the past few days and its nerve wreaking but I gotta put that aside my head for today cause today's a big day.

I saw the big sign 'Capitol Records Nashville, TN. I pulled into the parking lot and parked. I put my hands on my knees, took a deep breath, grabbed my guitar and hopped out of my pick up. I entered the building strutting feeling like I had full confidence and hoping I look confident too. Immediately I saw the guy that had called me.

"Hello. Luke right?" He reached out and shook my hand.
"Hello yes. And you..?"
"Call me Edward or Ed. Well lets get started we have alot to talk about." I just smiled then my phone rang. Shit.

"Excuse me may I take this?" He nodded. I took my call. And when I hung up, I was completely breathless. I walked into the room like i have been just struck but lightning. I was trying to hide my feelings because i neededto do this. I cant ruin this chance. but i guess i couldn't hide it enough. He looked at me and immediately knew something was up by my change in expression.

"Luke umm is everything alright?"
"Ya... It's just that call.. I wasn't expecting it. I honestly don't know if I can do this meeting today. We might have to wait if I can get another." I knew I would regret saying that but it came out. And don't want to feel selfish. I shouldn't be selfish. I won't be.
"I am sure we can work something out. I don't wanna pass you up." He just smiled at me and I looked up at him. Knowing my eyes were glossy. "What happened?" He asked. I let a small tear slowly slip.
Great first meeting with this guy and I cry. Such a gentle soul my mamma would say.
