I got this idea during my math class so I had to write it down. Hope you like it/
Van and Cheyenne were sitting on the couch with Elizabeth and Steve, waiting for Reba and Kyra to walk downstairs. Jake walked in from the kitchen with a bag of chips. He sat on the arm of the couch next to Van and started eating the chips. Van reached for the bag so he could get some chips too. Kyra walked down the stairs and shook her head.
"You'd better put those away before mom comes down. We're going out to eat guys." As if on cue Reba walked down the stairs.
"Guys, put those away. You're going to ruin your supper. Brock, Barbra Jean, and Henry are meeting us there so let's get going." They got into their cars and drove to the restaurant. They walked inside and saw Brock, Barbra Jean, and Henry already sitting down. It was a bar and grill, which concerned Reba about bringing little kids with them. She sat down in the only open seat, next to Brock. Brock heard her muttering about sitting next to him. They ordered their food and everyone was talking at the same time. They got their food and a man walked up to a microphone on a small stage in the corner.
"Well, it's karaoke night, so you know what that means. We need someone to come up here and sing first."
"Reba, you should go up there." Brock told her. She shook her head.
"Let me eat. I don't want to sing."
"But you're always happier when you sing, you love it. Barbra Jean told me about the time the two of you sang 9 to 5. You know you want to." The man walked up behind them.
"Do we have a taker?" Brock pointed to Reba.
"But I don't know what I'd sing." Elizabeth tugged at her sleeve.
"What about the song on the radio you were singing when you picked us up from school?" Reba stood up and walked to the stage. She stepped up to the microphone and waited for the music.
"I always knew this day would come
The world is just too small
To keep our paths from crossing
Here we are just look at us
I always wondered what I'd say
Would I tell you that life is great?
And getting better all the time
Really lookin' up
Would I be too proud
To show my heart?
Well, to tell the truth
It's not that hard
I'm still not over you
And still the only thing I wanna do
Is open up my arms and reach for you
And to hear you say, you want me, too
You're the one for me
And time doesn't seem to disagree
Baby, I'm still not
Over you getting over me
Guess I'll never be
Over you
So there it is, I've said it now
God I wish some way somehow
You'd look at me, with those big blue eyes
And say, you miss me too
But you moved on
I understand
Yeah, I tried that too
But here I am
I'm still not over you
And still the only thing I wanna do
Is open up my arms and reach for you
And to hear you say, you want me, too
You're the one for me
And time doesn't seem to disagree
Baby, I'm still not
Over you getting over me
Guess I'll never be
Strong enough to finally set you free
I know love will never let me be
Over you
I'm still not over you"
Reba had tears in the corners of her eyes when she finished, but you could only here the last line if you were right next to the speakers. Barbra Jean ran from the restaurant. Reba walked off stage and ran after her. Brock followed his ex-wife out the door. Barbra Jean pulled out of the parking lot when Reba tried crossing in front of her. Brock watched as his wife hit his ex-wife with her car. He went to Reba's side and called for help. He waited for the paramedics and held Reba in his lap.
"Stay with me Reba. You have three kids and two grandkids that need you. Reba, I need you. Don't leave me please."
