Without you

Grieving at the Graveyard

                                                                            Emily's P.O.V.

                                                                           << 4 Days Later>>

 Today was my birthday. I didn't want Courtney or Luke to know. I got out of bed thinking about what was going on in my life. 4 days passed since I moved in with the Smallbones.  I hated being here. I didn't want to go downstairs but, the smell of French toast teased me. I through on my Wicked  T-shirt with my jeans. I opened my bedroom-door to see the empty room that is now full of baby things. Luke was in the room fixing a crib. he looked up to see me standing there. "Happy Birthday!" he shouted. I rolled my eyes and nodded. He must of saw the look on my curious because he responded.

"Courtney is 8 months pregnant, and I was ordered to fix the baby's room."

I was heartbroken, I was only there for 4 days and now they were going to send me away. I headed down the stairs when a knock was at the door.

"Luke could you get that please!" Courtney yelled from the kitchen.

"I can't! I am kinda busy! Emily can you get it please!" Luke Called.

I hesitated and reached for the doorknob. Then opened the door.

                                                   Joel's P.O.V

Moriah and I stood outside for what seemed hours. It was the coldest fall we had in ages. We came to see Luke and Courtney's new foster daughter. I could hear Courtney and Luke yelling at each other. I couldn't help to laugh. Moriah elbowed me in the ribs. A tall girl about 14 answered the door. 

"You must be Emily, right?" I said breaking the ice. She nodded. Luke came running down the stairs. 

"Oh.....Joel.......Moriah.....good it's.......just.......just you" he huffed out of breath. "come in"

We took off our coats and sat on the couch.

                                               Luke's P.O.V.  

I was relieved it was Joel and Moriah. Court and I have been getting disturbing phone calls from a Jason Davis, saying he would track us down. The two of them sat down and Emily ran to the kitchen.

"Luke you look worn out!" Joel picked.

"Well when you have a problem teen and a baby on the way..." I started.

"We understand." Moriah smiled.

                                                         Emily's P.O.V.

I ran into the kitchen.

"Who in God's great creation are they!" I practically yelled at Courtney.

She smiled at me and put my fly-aways behind my ears.

"That's Joel and Moriah. Luke's brother and brother's girlfriend." Courtney answered. " They are staying for breakfast and then Joel and Luke are going to leave to have a meeting for a band they are in called 'For King and Country' "

I huffed and busted out the back door. I made a run for it, being only smart to cram on my boots. I ran to my Mother's and little brother's graves. I plopped down sobbing.

                                                          Luke's P.O.V. 

Joel and I laughed at childish memories.

"Luke!" Courtney yelled sobbing.

"Court, what's going on? Why are you running? You know you shouldn't---"

"I don't care Emily has run away!" Courtney sobbed " I don't know what I did!"

I sat her down on the couch glancing at Joel who looked at Moriah practically saying 'stay here we'll look'.

"I am going to look for her." I said cramming on my boots. I grabbed a blanket for Em and rushed out the door with Joel behind me. We spilt ways looking for Emily.
