Wasting All These Tears
Luke had just got off stage when he heard his name "Hey Luke," Deacon shouted. "Hey, Bud what's up?" Luke answered as he approached Deacon. "I need you to break up with Rayna Right now?" Deacon commanded. "What? Who the hell do you think you are?" Luke yelled as he got in Deacons face. "Who do I think I am? I am Deacon Claybourne. Me and Ray have a whole lotta history, Maddie is my child, Daphne is as good as, yeah I know I fucked up, but I love her with all my heart she is my everything, and although I may not deserve her you sure in the hell don't!" Luke's face went blank "I think you should go before I call security!" Deacon turned around and left the arena.
Luke went back to his dressing room and picked up his phone to call Rayna and notice there was a text message from her saying"Hey Babe your show was great ill be right back I have to go grab a couple things room the store for tonight. See ya in a bit3!" Luke sat down on the couch and redialed Rayna's number. "Hey Babe I'm almost done..." Luke cut her off and said " You need to come back right now!" "Is everything alright?" Rayna said very unsure of what could have went wrong. "I'll explain when you get back or you will!" Luke said before he hung up the phone. Rayna quickly got what she needed and left.
Rayna reached the arena and made her way to the dressing room and knocked on the door. Luke opened it and Rayna asked "What's going on?" as she walked in the room. "Well deacon came up to me after the show and told me to leave you. That Maddie was his father not Teddy and that he deserved you more than I did. Oh and that he loved you with all his..." "STOP!" Rayna shouted. "Look Darlin' I think we should take a brake and ill give you some time to sort this stuff out with Deacon, Maddie and Teddy." Luke said calmly. "Babe i just need to go talk to Deacon, You don't have to leave," Rayna said trying to hold back the tears. "Ray look i wanna be with you. I just think that you should just go sort things out first before we go any farther in our relationship." Luke says softly as he places his hand on her hips and there lips touch. As a tear runs down Rayna's face he wipes it away with his thumb. "Okay I better go," Ray says as she turns towards the door. "I'll be here for you when you get everything together." Luke whisper's. Rayna turns around and smiles and walks out.
Rayna gets to her car and call's Deacon and it went to his voicemail. She hangs up and calls again, and he answered "Hey Ray. Whats up?" "God Damn it Deacon I need to talk to you right now in person where are you?" "I'm at my house." "Okay I'm almost there" Rayna replied and hung up the phone.
Rayna pulls in Deacon's driveway and goes up to the front door as she knocking she hears him yell "Coming." When he reached the door and opened it Rayna barged in."Sure, come right in." Deacon said with a smile. "How could you? You had no right!" Rayna yelled throwing her arms in the air. " Ray listen, I love you and it kills me seeing you with someone thats not me. I know I fucked up along time ago but we have a daughter together and I want to be a family, I want to be the dad I haven't been for the last 13 years. I just don't want to see you get hurt." Deacon said as he gazed into Rayna's eyes. "Deacon why haven't you told me this before?" "I've tried Ray but as stubborn as you are you didn't want to hear it!" " Deacon I love you I will always love you but I just don't know. When you found out about Maddie you almost killed both of us. What happens down the road if we don't end up staying together? I cant take that risk again, for Maddie and Daphne's sake."
