Thirty-Two Bridge (Luke Bryan)

32 Bridge

I grabbed some beer and drove to the bridge. It was 9. I wanted to get there early so I could just relax and enjoy the flint by myself. I just sat there thinking about what it will be like to raise a baby alone. It'll be great. Things will be tough managing the baby and my career but I can do it. And my manager is pretty flexible about things so she shouldn't mind me laying back for tour for like a year.

I had two beers then in was 9:30. I don't usually drink a lot unless I'm stressed or overwhelmed about things. Otherwise I usually am responsible.
"Luke ya here?" A familiar voice asked.

"Ya underneath." I replied it was Seth.

"Hey bud. What's going on?" He asked me. And we bro hugged.

"A whole shit load of stuff."

"You alright? You Look horrible." He said.

"Well thanks. But I'm aright just confused and overwhelmed."

"Well tell me." He said as he cracked open a beer.

"There are a few things. But tomorrow it's been a year." I said. And took a sip.

"Year since what..?" Then he looked at me. "Oh."

"A year since she's been gone. It's a lot different with out her. I can't ask her for advice about girls anymore." I just chuckled. "And latley that's been a problem too. I just miss them. Both of them."

"Well I can help ya with the girl thing." He said and winked.

"You haven't been in a solid relationship for three years." We both laughed. "But anyway Mariah and I broke up a little bit ago. And I told you about how she was pregnant before and how she was gonna have an abortion and I talked to her about it. Well now she's going to put the baby up for adoption." I said and took another drink which was the last sip so I crushed it and grabbed another.
"I don't want that baby to be put up for adoption so I'm going to adopt him or her myself." I said.

"I think that's really cool Luke."

"Really? Everyone I've told told me I'm not ready or mature enough or it's a bad decision because of my career. And I don't think I should be selfish. I can handle a baby. I think anyway."

"You can. You are a great man Luke. You'll balance the baby and your career. Don't worry about what people say." He said. "And if you ever need help uncle Seth will be here to help."

"I just don't want people to think that it's my baby. Ya know?" I said.

"They won't." He said. And we talked more about Mariah and I and then he brought up Caroline.

"Yeah what about her?" I asked.

"I'll never forget what you said at the bar when you saw her."

"What did I say?" I asked.

"You said quote "I am going to talk to that girl." And when you grew the balls to actually go talk to her and you came back you said "that's the kinda girl I wanna marry. She's perfect." He told me. The words rang in my head.

"Who the hell are you to talk? Find yourself a girl and then come talk to me."

"Luke I was just saying."

"Well things change Seth. And a lot of things have changed. For bad and for better."

"I wasn't trying to pissed you off sorry." He said.

"Ya well. Just forget about it. It'll never happen. If it's meant to be then it is but I've seen no signs in it being "meant to be". You and my mamma won't stop talking about her." I said.

"Maybe cause we are right. You still like her. And you miss her you're just too much of a hard ass to realize that."

"Bullshit." I said as I stood up. "Bullshit. She broke my heart. I don't have time for that shit. I'm outta here." I started walking away. "Nice seein ya Seth." I got in my truck and drove away.
