Stoned

Introduction

"Hunter and Aubrey, Aubrey and Hunter. That's always what it was supposed to be," Hunter sighed staring at Aubreys grave.

"Why did it change daddy?" Baby Lucy asked sitting next to her Dad, holding his hand.

"Aubrey moved on sweetheart," he said putting a small painful smile on his face remembering all the times he called her sweetheart.

"You got a deal sweetheart,"
"My bad sweetheart,"
"Only with you sweetheart,"
"Got a point there sweetheart,"
"Come on sweetheart, one more kiss,"
"You to man, we found a real nice girl. Isn't that right sweetheart,"
"You're everything I need sweetheart,"
"Welcome back sweetheart,"
"Hey, don't make me have to save you again sweetheart,"

"We were made for each other, we felt important when we were together," Hunter said letting out a sigh.

"Well den wh-why did she leave?" Lucy asked bending over picking at the grass.

"Well sweetie, she got tired of all the bad things getting in the way of us, she figured it'd be best to leave."

Lucy sat quietly looking up at Hunter, like she knew he had more to say. He glanced down at her and continued.

"We come here to remember her, me, and Silas, and sometimes even Jake."

"That's sweet," Lucy smiled playing with her dress.

"Did you know daddy caught her before she tried leaving the first time?" Hunter asked.

"No!" Lucy squealed. "Daddy's a hero!" She said in a celebratory tone.

"I was Lucy, I wasn't the second time though. She just left, no warning," Hunter said standing up, placing the flowers they brought on her grave.

"I miss you sweetheart," he whispered as he touched the grave, that was the closest he'd ever be to her again. "I'm only six feet away," he said sadly, wiping away a tear.

"I bet she misses you daddy," Lucy said staring up at Hunter.

"I hope she does, because I certainly miss her," Hunter said holding Lucy's hand as they walked back to the car.
