But He's My Best Friend...

Chapter 34

Kj

I laid there wide awake tossing and turning, I knew Luke was bound to show up anytime, even though it's late.. I was just hoping and praying he wasn't drunk and hopefully he at least took a shower and didn't smell of her..

My stomach clinched when I thought about him with another women.. it made me sad but angered me at the same time.. if a man was really in love he wouldn't just go find the first women he could and sleep with her..

I saw headlights turn in the driveway and I knew it had to be him. Great.

I got up fixed my hair, went and washed my face and threw on a sweatshirt I didn't care if I looked like crap but I just didn't want him to see that I have been crying none stop. This is going to be the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

I walked down the stairs and met him on the porch. He looked like living hell, obviously hungover and I could tell he was confused.

"Baby" he whispered

"No Luke" I put my hand up

He stopped walking and stood there.

"Luke, you really messed up this time, I can't deal with it anymore, once a cheater always a cheater and I can't deal with the stress right now with our child on the way." I sighed "I don't want to interfere with your music career Luke, you go to Nashville and you do you. I will give you updates on the baby as the months go by, and as for us we're over Luke" I stopped and swallowed. "Now I have nothing else to say to you right now, get in your truck and go home Luke or wherever you want because I'm not your problem anymore"

With that I turned around and walked in the house.

Luke

"She really means it this time" I told mama as I walked in the door.

"Luke baby what happened" she asked with worry in her voice

"I messed up She's pregnant mama"

"That's great news Luke! What's so bad about that!"

"I freaked about my career when I found out, blamed her for ruining my career, and then went out and.."

"THOMAS LUTHER BRYAN" she hollered and slapped me across my face.

I got up from the table and walked back out to my truck and took off to the local bar out of town.. I can't take it all anymore, nothing matters.

I pulled up to the local bar and sat in my truck for a while.. I looked up at the sky and it was a clear night.. I took a deep breath and as I was getting out of the truck something told me not too.. I felt the strong urge to resist the bar..

I started my truck and drove out to the old wooden dock were I first told Kj I loved her. Where I took her when she was sad, where we first skinny dipped, where I first kissed her. A lot of firsts were made here.

I got out and sat with my boots dangling over the water. I didn't know what I was going to do without her in my life. I didn't know whether to move to Nashville and try to make it big or quit that dream and work locally..

As soon as I closed the door on Luke I broke down crying. The man I wanted to start a family with, the man I wanted to marry, the man I wanted to grow old with broke my heart, cheated on me, and now is trying to act like nothing every happened and be sorry for it all.. I just can't do it anymore.

My phone buzzed and I looked at it, It was mama Bryan.. I knew what she wanted at this hour and I answered right away.

"Mama"

"Kay dear I'm so sorry for my sons actions I don't know what's gotten into him"

"Mama it ain't your fault don't be sorry for him, I'm sorry things couldn't of worked out between us.." I whispered

"Oh honey why don't you come on over here, I'll put a fresh batch of your favorite cookies and we'll talk about it"

A tear ran down my cheek and I tried to be quiet sobbing.

"I'll see you in a few minutes"

I walked In the kitchen and wrote momma a note telling her where I went just in case she came looking. I took a deep breath and walked out the door. I had my truck keys in my hand, I hadn't drove it in a few days and I missed it. I climbed up in it and drove over to mama Bryans.

The kitchen light was on and I saw her mixing the ingredients for the cookies. I shook my head and looked up at the stars. It was a beautiful night out tonight, I just wonder where Luke went off too.. probably some bar out of town.. but as I looked up at the stars I had a feeling he was doing the same wherever he was.

"You must be a wreck" she said as I walked in the door

I laughed a little "yeah but I'll be okay"

"How far along are you?"

"About 3 months" I smiled "due December 18th"

Her smile glowed she was excited and happy about this baby.. so was my mom.. I just wish it was different circumstances..

"When Luke told me what happened I couldn't help myself but slap him across the face.."

I gasped "what did he do?"

"Nothing just got up and walked out" she shook her head as she put the cookies in the oven.

We sat at the kitchen table drinking sweet tea and I told her everything. From the time we got to Nashville to the time I got back home without Luke. She was in disbelief just as much as I was.

"Lukes always wanted a family" she whispered

"I know mama"

"Has he gotten into drugs or something because he's not being the man I raised him to be"

"Not that I know of, I think he knows better than that" .. "the only thing I can think of is he freaked about this messing his career up and I would never do that to him.. I just didn't expect this at all" I said tears running down my cheek.
