Ella's POV
I'm so heartbroken over Betsy, I really did love her. I say goodbye and walk back to the house.
Beau: You want company?
Ella: I would love some.
Beau: I'm sorry, Ella. I know how much you really liked her.
Ella: I really did. She still had so much life left in her. What are we going to do with baby Ella? She's going to miss her mom.
Beau: We will have to bottle feed her. She will miss her, but with you around I know she will be just fine.
He grabs my hand.
Beau: Life is beautiful, but you can't have beautiful without a little ugly. It gets hard and they will be sad times. Like this right now. We just have to roll with the punches and keep going.
Ella: You're right. It's just sometimes those punches hit you square in the gut and knock you down.
Beau: I've got an idea. I was going to wait, but seeing what just happened I think we need a little fun tonight.
Ella: What do you have in mind?
Beau: Let's go get those drinks.
Ella: I was suppose to talk to everyone tonight.
Beau: Well, I think you can do that tomorrow. Let's go have some fun tonight.
Ella: Ok, let's do it.
We get to the house. Blain and Jackson are sitting on the porch.
Blain: I'm sorry to hear about Betsy.
Ella: Thank you.
Jackson: I'm sorry too. I can't believe it.
Beau: You guys want to go to the watering hole tonight?
Jackson: Heck yea, I'm down.
Blain: Count me in. It's been awhile since we've been.
Ella: The watering hole?
Beau: Yea, it's the local bar.
Ella: It's really called the watering hole?
Beau: Hahah, yes it is.
Ella: I'm gonna take my shower and get ready. I'll see you boys in a little bit.
I take my shower and put on a little makeup. I pick my outfit out, get dressed then head downstairs.
Tommy: You look nice. Where are you off to?
Ella: I believe we are headed to the watering can, or something like that.
