No,no,no,NO! How could this happen? When everything was alright for once in my life,shit crumbles away! He raised me, and I was his.... Dad why?
"Girl, what do you mean your dad died? Are you playing some sick joke on me?" Don gave a little chuckle, and it actually pissed me off!
"JOKING, ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME DON? YES! Yes Don, I am joking ya caught me. NO I'M NOT JOKING! You asshole! My father passed last night... mom said that he had a heart attack after the reception..." I was choked up! I couldn't come together to wrap around the idea.
"Okay girl! I'm sorry! I will say this till I die Meryl, you only get one chance to live, and we have to embrace getting older. We dont get another change girl, but it will be you and I till we die! Honey this sucks, but you'll get through this! Do you think you should call the set and take off some more time?" He was worried about my well being! Even after my two new movies, buying kleenex was a big deal. Everyone is always observing you. No peace. As I sat there crying , I wondered what mom was feeling? Or Dana and Henry!
"Don, I think we should go to mom's. I understand that we are supposed to leave tonight for the honeymoon, but I need her Don. I need mom!" I sounded pathetic, yet Don was empathetic!
"Meryl, of course honey! I already knew this was coming. I booked a night at the hotel by your parents, but you stay with your mom. There just isn't enough room at your parent's house. Unless I sleep with your mom? Too soon?! Im sorry girl!" He sounded apologetic,yet humored. "Don, I need you to call Inez, up at publications. I need the press minimal! Mom will not tolerate that press shit! Im not joking please!" Don looked at me and just smiled. He had such love in his heart, and he was mine.
Funeral Day
"MERYL! MERYL! How are yu feeling right now?!!?!" A incompetent fucktard resolved to my presence by the cathedral door.
I instantly thought to myself, didn't I tell Don to take care of this!?
"Hi,hi. I'm sorry, but I am not releasing any statements right now guys! Please leave?!" I sounded sincere enough maybe they would leave!
"Meryl! How is you family?"
I have had it! Where the fuck is my husband?
"YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW MY FAMILY IS DOING!?! ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS! THIS IS A STATE OF GRIEVING, AND YOU HAVE THE AUDACITY TO COME TO ASK ME ABOUT MY FAMILY! LISTEN HERE BUDDY! GO HOME TAKE CARE OF YOUR FAMILY AND THEN WE WILL TALK.... ASSHOLE!" I was in tears...
Just then the church doors burst open.
"Honey I'm sorry! I called Inez! I promise,and I didn't even hear you arrive... I knew that I should've been by you from the hotel,but Harry needed help setting up. Girl! I am so sorry..." Don had tears rolling down his soft cheeks.
"Now Don stop! Don't worry,or cry... that's my job right now! I smirked, but did my mom hear anything? Seriously!?!"
"Girl.. listen. Your mother already said something to the press... just letting you know!!!" Oh fuck! Great just what ma needs right now!
As I walked in, I saw her, mom. She was still l, and numb. Just staring at him! I could never ordeal the amount of pain she was in right now!
"Mom... I love you! And you dont have to... he is still with us! Okay?" I squeezed so tight... never wanting to lose another. My mother turned. "Honey,but you will!" I lost what was loved, but I could never lose the love of what was lost.
