Benny's Pov


What in the hell happened? Why is it so dark right now? What is going on? I looked down and saw I was in a hospital gown. What happened? Where is John at? I want to see my son? I can't be dead. No, I can't. I remember I was in the car with John meeting my family and---Oh no. We was in a car wreck. Looked around and I saw some one looking at me. I walked over to the person. When I got closer I saw who it was. Pop Pop. 

This can't be real. Pop Pop died when I was only 16 year's old. I remember that day like it was yesterday. Poor Patty was a mess that day. She spent 48 years with that man. He might have been a hard man, but he would have done anything for you if you needed it. When Robert died, Dean's older brothers came back home and wanted Patty to move in with one of them? If it wasn't for Dean and Lucy she might have been living in another state by now. I walked over to him. 

" Pop, what's going on? Am I dead?" I asked him. Robert looked at me and gave me his half smile he always gave us kids. 

" No." Robert told me. He was not much on talking, unless it was football, or farming? I was looking around. 

" Where Am I? What is going on? Where is my family? Where is John at? What about Tyler? I need to know what is going on?" I told him. Pop Pop looked at me. 

" Son, you need to calm down. Okay. I will have all of your answers, but I need you to come with me." Pop told me. Go where? Hello, I don't even know where I am at? I looked over at him. 

" Pop I think you have been on a drinking boat again? Hello where are we? Why should I come with you?" I said to him. Pop looked at me and walked away. 

" Pop! Pop! Where are you?" I yelled for him. I heard him again. 

" Are you ready my boy?" Pop asked me. I looked at him and sigh. What can I do? 

" Okay Pop let's go." I said to him. I looked right in his eyes and and was gone again. 

" Pop!" I yelled. The walls were shaking and everything went black. 

I was laying on the floor. God, my head hurts like I been on the band wagon for 4 days non stop. I got up and I saw Pop looking at me. 

" Before you say anything do you know where you are?" Pop asked me. I looked around and it was my house I just bought. 

" This is my house? Why are we here?" I asked him. Pop walked over to me and walked over to the window. 

" Come here?" Pop told me. I walked over to him and I looked at him. 

" Well.." Pop said to me. 

" Well what pop?" I asked him. 

" Look outside son?" Pop told me. I looked outside and I saw Shiloh and Tyler playing in the sand box. Tyler and I spent the whole day making it and painting it a bright orange and yellow. When I asked him why yellow, all he said was " For my baby sister's dad?" He knew one day he will get to become a big brother. 

" Come with me." Pop told me. We walked outside and I ran over to my son. 

" Tyler. Hey little man, how are you?" I asked him. Tyler was not even looking at me. I looked over at Pop. 

" Why can't he see me?" I asked him. Pop walked over to me. 

" This is what your life could be if you want to die." Pop told me. I looked at him. I don't want this? I want to live. I want to see my son grow up and become a man.
