To the Moon and Back

Second Opinion

The next day I was sitting there... I was up all night drinking.... I just wish kelly knew she meant the world to me. I'm a typical guy I look at other girls, I flirt. I can't help it... I wish she would know I would never cheat on her. My phone dinged. I looked it was an email.

Lewis___Cindy453@hotmail.com : Hi Mr. Bryan, we will be going on a vacation next week. I was just wondering if maybe we could get together within the week. I know you are very busy. Especially with Kelly's TBI. I look forward to hearing back from you. 
Thank you.
Cindy Lewis

I threw my phone.

"Whoa there!" I heard someone say. I turned to see Dierks.
"What are you doing here Dierks?"
"Kells needed clothes.... but I ain't touching this stuff." He said laughing showing me the text.
"ABSOLUTELY NOT! SHE NEEDS TO COME HOME DIERKS!"
"Then go get her Luke! You need to chase after her."
"Dierks I gave her the fucking ring. I have her this fucking house. I gave her everything!"
"Give her the satisfaction of having just you. She's 18 Luke. Take her out even on a private date on the lake or something do something to prove to her you love her and want only her!"
"Do I though Dierks?"

We were standing there. He came up and got in my face.
"You play with her heart Luke. I swear I will never fucking forgive you. She lost her dream of playing basketball!! She's in a bad place Luke! Knock it the fuck off."

I stood there in shock. I grabbed my phone and called jaylee as I walked out into the garage.

"Hey." She whispered.
"Are you in class?" I asked it was silent for a second
"Jaylee?"
"Sorry Luke I had to go into the hall. What's up?"
"I'm going to get kelly..."
"Took ya long enough. How kicked in the ass are you?"
"I'm fine...."
"Okay."
"I'm taking a trip with her so if she doesn't answer her phone don't worry."
"Where are you going?" She asked worried.
"Pennsylvania. Driving."
"Why?"
"I'm going to do this all right again."
"Okay please please please let me know when y'all get there."
"Yes ma'am"

I pulled up to Jaylees apartment. I ran up the inside steps and went to apartment C. I knocked. The door opened slowly.

"Luke...." she said. I pushed the door open.
"Kells...what's wrong?" I asked she was on the ground....
"Just weak..." she said leaving against the chair.
"Come on. We are going on a vacation."
"No go with Cindy." She said. I made her look up at me.

"I am going to show you every single place from day 1, where I fell in love with you more and more.  From the pavilion to the lake, to your old bedroom, to where prom was at and everything. Kelly I love you. More than words can describe. If I could I'd show you but you aren't aloud with any strenuous activity right now. But darling I love you to the Moon and Back. I will do anything you want for you to forgive me."
"Any number or email I tell you to delete you better delete it Luke."
"Here." I said handing her my phone.

****

"35 Luke!" She said upset when she was done after she asked me who every single girl was.
"Kelly I'm sorry babe I don't talk to them! Come on let's go." I said trying to get her to stand with me.
"No...."
"Kelly...."
"How can I trust you?"
"Drop out of school you can be by my side 24/7 or randomly kelly I love you. I will beg for you.... I need you in my life."
"Prove it." She said.
"I gave you a ring kelly. We aren't getting married until next fall! What else do you want."
"I want a baby."

I was frozen... she was staring st me.

"After you recover I promise I will give you s baby I'll give you 1000 babies." I said. She shook her head.
"Luke I want to make love to you I want to be back to normal. I'm fine."

"You aren't fine kelly you can't walk more than 20 feet without almost passing out or falling... let's go to PA and we will have your dads practice look at you okay please for me if not for me for the boys...."
"I'm not riding in a car...."
"Next flight we are on our way out okay I'll call your dad and if this means we have to move or whatever we will as long as you are healthy. "
"Okay...."

9pm we were landing. When we got off her dad was waiting with a wheel chair. We made it over.

"What's going on?" He whispered to me.
"Something major is wrong she isn't herself sir" I said.
"Kelly have you been having migraines again?" He asked her
"Yeah..."
"I told you to tell Luke." He said upset.
"It's just...." she stopped the chair by putting the breaks on.
"What?" Her dad asked kneeing in front of her.
"Listen it's bad enough I'm only 18.... he can't do half the stuff he wants I can't go to parties I can't do certain shows with him it sucks. So I wanted to be able to do what I can with him."

Her dad shook his head.

"Kelly, I know that your health is more important to him than anything else about you. He stopped his tour for you. He was on the first flight out to Arizona whenever he got the call you were in a coma. This guy loves you more than anything. I couldn't ask for a better man than him for you. Yes the age is a huge difference but he loves you and I know you love him. I'm sure you guys have the dumbest fights but in the end that's what makes you stronger. Now don't make me feel bad for encouraging him to marry you, he was nervous as hell asking me, he doubted the age thing and I told him, age is just a number you love her and she loves you you will work out. Now you tell me or him right now if you want him out of your life for good I'll make sure he gets a flight right back to Georgia." Her dad said I was very impressed. I was in shock.

She reached her hand back. I held it.

"Let's go..."she said to her dad.

Before we knew it we were in the car and off to the hospital. My palms were sweating so bad. I was so nervous. Hopefully we could get some answers.
