Chapter 1
Reba was struggling to stay awake as she stood in her kitchen sipping coffee. Last night had been too hard for Reba, Barbra Jean, her ex husbands mistress, and her ex husband Brock, had filed for divorce. About 10 minutes after they left the court house, Brock had burst through her front door, and told her what happened. She had spent the majority of the day talking to him, and right after he left, Barbra Jean came through the back door, and broke down in the very same spot Reba was standing now, sipping her coffee and remembering the events that took place, in what felt like, only mere moments ago, but actually happened 3 hours ago.
Foot steps could be heard coming down the stairs and once again the Hart/Montgomery house, was about to turn into chaos. "Mom! Jake Put bubble gum in my hair!" Kyra was the first one in the room, complete with a nice big wad of gum stuck just above her right ear.
"I did not, liar!" Jake stomped in right after. Followed by Cheyenne and van, the just over a year wed couple, marched in with there 3 month old baby Elizabeth.
"Mom, have you seen my white shirt with the blue beads, and Van's foot ball jersey? Oh, and Elizabeth spit up on the carpet and I'm not sure how to get the stain out, I was thinking that maybe you could have a look."
"Oh that's it! Y'all can get yourselves ready for school, I'm sick and tired of all the whining and complaining! Kyra, come with me, Cheyenne, look after your brother." Reba took off into the living room, followed by Kyra, close behind. Reba made her way up to her room and plopped down on her bed. Kyra stood in the doorway.
"Mom is everything okay? You seem stressed today." Kyra sat down beside her mom and took her hand.
"Kyra, your father and Barbra Jean are getting divorced." She turned her head away from her daughter; she was ashamed of what she had just slightly blurted out. "That's why I'm so tired today, I was talking with you're father all day and then right after he left Barbra Jean came over and we talked till about 6 this morning."
Kyra was now rubbing her moms back, trying to comfort her best she could. "Mom, why are they getting a divorce, what about Henry?" Henry was Barbra Jean and Brock's son. That was the only reason Brock left Reba, was because Barbra Jean was pregnant, at least that's what Reba told herself everyday. Reba felt the tears begin to well in her eyes and then flow down her cheeks.
"I don't know Kyra, I really don't." Kyra's eyes widened and she stood up and walked to the door.
"I'll be right back." Kyra ran down the stairs and into the kitchen, just in time to see everyone leaving for school and in Elizabeth's case, day care. She ran forward and grabbed her older sister's wrist. Cheyenne turned around abruptly and was very much prepared to freak, but she stopped when she saw it was Kyra, and she has tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Kyra what is it?" she had never seen her younger sister cry like this, except when she was a baby.
"It's mom, can you go see her, please?" she pointed to the stairs, Cheyenne nodded and made a dash to the bedroom that would make any quarterback drool. She knocked on the door frame and stuck her head inside.
"Uh, mom can I come in?" Reba nodded and Cheyenne took the spot beside her mom. She pulled her mom into a hug, allowing her to cry on her shoulder. "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Your father and Barbra Jean are getting a divorce." She spit out the words and started to sob again. This time, it was soaking Cheyenne's shoulder.
"But mom it's only been like a year and a half, and they have Henry." Cheyenne ran her hands through her mom's fiery red hair.
"I know, Henry is going to stay with Barbra Jean and Brock can see him on weekends. At least that was the arrangement." Cheyenne looked at her mom.
"Uh, mom how do you know all this?" Tears were now filling Cheyenne's eyes; this is going to shock just about everyone she knew. Her father was the foot ball coach at her school, and Barbra jean was known throughout the school.
"Well lets see, your father came over right after court, so that would be around noon, he told me what happened and we talked until about 10 or so, then Barbra Jean came over about 10:30 and we talked till 6 thing morning, I think I know pretty much all of it."
"So that's why dad was here last night." Cheyenne pulled her mom close to her. "Oh mom." That's now why Reba was crying, there were so many thing that were causing the tears. Lack of sleep, the fact that she told Brock he could stay at her house, the fact that they could still be together right now, and the fact that she was still in love with Brock. The horn honked from the driveway and Cheyenne gave her mom one last hug. "I gotta go to school. See you tonight."
Reba just looked down as Cheyenne left. She suddenly felt dizzy. Reba, being the smart cookie she was, laid down. After another hour of tears, Reba was sound asleep in her bed.
Standing at the back
door
She tried to make it fast
One tear hit the hard wood
It
fell like broken glass
She said sometimes love slips away
And
you just can't get it back
Let's face it
For one split
second
She almost turned around
But that would be like pouring
rain drops
Back into a cloud
So she took another step and
said
I see the way out and I'm gonna' take it
I don't wanna'
spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That
I've let all these years go by
Wasted
Another glass of whisky
but it still don't kill the pain
So he stumbles to the sink and
pours it down the drain
He says it's time to be a man and stop
living for yesterday
Gotta face it.
Cause' I don't wanna' spend
my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and find
That I've let
all these years go by
Wasted
Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing,
missing
The still of the morning, the color of the night
I
ain't spending no more time
Wasted
She kept drivin' along
Till
the moon and the sun were floating side-by-side
He looked in the
mirror and his eyes were clear
For the first time in a while
Hey,
yeah,
Oh, I don't wanna' spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up
one day and find
That I've let all these years go by
Wasted
Oh I don't
wanna' keep on wishing, missing
The still of the morning, the
color of the night
I ain't spending no more time
Wasted
Oh,
I don't wanna' spend my life jaded
Waiting to wake up one day and
find
That I've let all these years go by
Wasted
Yeah,
yeah
Oh I don't wanna' keep on wishing, missing
The still of
the morning, the color of the night
I ain't spending no more
time
Wasted
