And every long lost dream
Lead me to where you are
And others who broke my heart
They were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way
Into your loving arms
This much I know, is true
That God blessed the broken road
That lead me straight to you
Bless The Broken Road~Rascal Flatts
Jayden's POV
"How are you holding up?" Mrs. Waits asks.
"I'm good." I say into the phone. "What about you?"
"I'm good, just missing you. When are you coming back?"
"I don't know if I am. I just have to finish high school, then I'm off to college."
"But that's eight months away."
"I know, but I'll be fine."
"Well I have to go. I love you Jayden."
"I love you too." I hang up.
I order room service and wait fir it to come. A knock at the door brings me out of the show that I'm watching. I get my food and tip the man. After eating, I get in the shower and decide to go to Evangeline's house.
"Hey Jayden." Mrs. Willams opens the door.
"Hello, Mrs. Willams."
"Now what did I tell you to call me."
"Sorry, Savannah."
"That's ok."
"Can I speak to Evangeline?"
"Of course but she's not here."
"Oh, where is she?"
"She's at the cemetery. Today's her brother's birthday."
"Oh, I'm so sorry ma'am."
"It's fine, my husband and I already went to his grave. Evangeline just likes to go alone sometimes."
"I guess I'll see her later."
"No, go to her. I think she needs someone to be there for her."
I tell her bye before getting into my car. I drive to the cemetery and see the figure of someone kneeling in front of a tombstone. I walk closer and see that it's Evangeline. Her body is shaking softly and I know that she's crying. I kneel next to her and pull her into my arms.
"I miss him so much." she cries into my shirt.
"I know baby, I know."
I look at the tombstone and read it.

Here lies a loving son, brother, and friend. You will forever be loved.
"I wish you could've met him. He would've liked you."
"I wish I could've met him too." I hold her tighter.
She just lays in my arms and cries. We stay like that for about twenty minutes before we decide to get something to eat.
"Take me to IHOP. I want breakfast food." she dries her eyes.
"Ok." I drive.
I pull into IHOP and park the car. I open her door and we go inside. We both get an omelet and orange juice. We leave the restaurant and go to her house.
"Would you like to see some pictures of my brother?" Evangeline asks as we sit on the couch.
"If you want to."
