The Song Remembers When

(16) Amelia Smashes Her Guitar

About a month after they got back from Aspen Amelia was out in the guest house playing on her keyboard she kept getting frustrated with herself. She finally walked over to her guitar and smashed her guitar over her keyboard and it broke the keyboard in half and broke her acoustic then she took her electric guitar and smashed it too. 

Bryan came out and said "Baby baby hey hey look at me.. you can't do this baby." 

"I'm done with music I don't ever want to play again. Everyone heard her smashing and they all came out. Bradley and Bucky came through the gate with Becca. 

"Amelia.. what did you do?' Bucky said 

"I officially quit.." she said as she walked away.

Bucky walked over to the guest house and saw her smashed guitars and keyboard. "Amelia Joanna Grace.. why did you do this? " Bucky said 

"I told you that I was done.. I have no reason to sing with you again. You have moved on and have a new girl to sing to so the band is yours. Sing to Kaylee all you want now." she said 

He walked over to her and he said "I quit the band I'm not singing without you Amelia Grace..if you aren't singing then I'm not singing." 

"I didn't ask you to do that I told you to stay." she said 

"You are my singing partner if I don't have you to sing with then I'm out." he said 

She walked away and said "Well then I guess the band has broken up.." as she went into her house. 

She went into her room  and locked the door. 

Bryan went to Emma that was folding clothes and said "Call Dr Taylor.. this is bull shit.. our daughter is depressed Emma she needs to be on medication. She just smashed her guitars and key board."  

"Okay.." Emma said

Two days later Emma took Amelia to her therapist and he prescribed her anti anxiety and anti depressants after Emma told the therapist what she's been doing lately. Bryan and James were working at the hospital that day. 

"Hey Bryan we have a problem?' James said 

"What is it?' Bryan said 

"Um you remember when the kids did that show on new years eve?' James said 

"Yeah.." Bryan said

"I recorded the whole thing and you know how the town has that big fourth of July thing every year where they choose a hometown band to do the show." James said 

"Okay.. and yes I know we always tail gate at the thing what about it?' Bryan said 

"I sent in the tape when we got back.." James said

"And.." Bryan said 

"The kids got picked.." James said 

Bryan's mouth dropped open and said "Are you serious?'

"Yeah.. they want them to do the show this year." James said 

"Oh man we need to talk to them." Bryan said 

"Yeah we do.." James said as he went into his surgery. 

That night James and Bryan took their wives out for dinner and told them the good news. Emma said "But Amelia smashed her instruments' 

"Well her birthday is next month maybe we just surprise then tell them about the show." Bryan said. 

"Yeah that could work. We just have to get her and James to talk." Winnie said 

"Just gotta keep quiet till then." Bryan said 

"Yeah.. " Emma said as they continued to eat their dinner.
