Thirty-Two Bridge (Luke Bryan)

Recap

It was 5days after Kelly passed. The funeral is tomorrow. Everyone is doing better, Caroline of course left the day after she came and she'll be back tomorrow for the funeral.

I just woke up. I grabbed a pair of jeans and a Leesburg georgia tee and got dressed. Brushed my teeth. And ran my hand through my hair. I splashed my face with water and looked in the mirror.

"Why did this happen?" I asked my reflection. It's confusing. It's hard to think it actually happened but it did. I went downstairs and my mamma was in the kitchen. She had eggs made for me. My dad sat at the table in his spot holding his coffee cup just staring in blank space. Pa has always been a hard ass. In a good way though. He never really showed his emotions unless it was drastic. He was always in a good mood but he wasn't. I don't know it's kind of hard to explain I guess it's just one of those things you won't understand unless you know the guy.

"Here are your eggs Luke."
"Thank you mamma." I hugged her. She needed me. I grabbed my eggs and sat on the 'L' shaped island and ate in silence. I thought about what I wanted to do today. I was gonna sing a song like how I did at Chris's funeral but I wasn't sure what. Maybe ill sing the same one.. I drank my orange juice put the dishes in the dish washer and went upstairs.

*ring ring*
"Hello?"
"Hey Luke."
I rolled my eyes. Caroline.
"Yes?"
"Luke, we need to talk. I know it's not a good time but we have to. This has been ridiculous."
"Caroline I can't. Not now. Bye."
And I hung up.

I know I am being kind of a jerk but my sister just passed away. I am emotionally lost right now. Adding more stress on that would just be worse. Maybe I'm just scared of what she is gonna say to me.. Would it be better to talk to her? Was mamma right do I need her by my side right now? No I can't. It sounds so bad but I just cant deal with anymore stress...

I sat on my bed. And just scrolled through news feeds on twitter and Instagram. Nothing to exciting on there. I decided I really wanted to work on that song so I grabbed my guitar and went out to the pier and drank a beer in honor of each us.

"Luke where have you been?"

"I went out to the pond."

"You smell of beer?"

"I had three on for me one for Chris and one for Kell."
She just smiled. "I am making chicken for dinner. Is Caroline going to be here tonight?"

"I don't know. Probably tomorrow."

"What's goin on Luke.?"

"She was distant from me ever since we left here a couple weeks ago. She hasn't really came over or talked to me. I don't know why. And now all of a sudden she is talkin to me. And mamma I don't wanna deal with it there will be extra stress and I can't handle that now..."

"You need to do something Luke. You are hurting her and a matter of fact yourself. And you need her through this."

"Mamma I can't. I think I might just be scared of what's gonna happen. I don't want to loose her. Not for anything. I know she's the one. And I do need her. I know it."

"I trust you. You know what you need to do." She said and she patted my shoulder as I let a small tear slip. Just so much stress.
