Reba handed the driver a 50 dollar bill and got out of the car staring at her old house. She heard Van and Cheyenne with Elizabeth and Dakota inside crashing around looking for something as she walked up to the front door.
Reba sighed as she knocked on the door. "Van answer the door!" Cheyenne yelled. "Ok!" Van said. Van opened the door and dropped what he had in his hands.
"Hi Van." Reba said nervously. "Oh...my...God." Van said. "What is it Va..?" Cheyenne said as she saw her mother in the door way. "Hi Cheyenne." Reba said. "Hi Gamma!" Elizabeth said as she rushed to Reba's side and hugged her leg. "Hey sweetie." Reba said as she smiled down at the little girl.
"M-mom? Is that you?" Cheyenne asked. "Ahhhh!'' Van said as he pulled Reba into a hug. "Hi Van." Reba said through staggered breathing. "I'm so sappy to see you!" Van said wiping his eyes off with her hair. "Van, you're still using that word?" Reba asked still struggling to breathe and she was annoyed to because Van had wiped his eyes with her hair.
"Yes, it was a speacial occasion because you're home!" Van said hugging her tighter. "Van! Stop her face is turning blue!" Cheyenne said. Van let go and Reba let out a long sigh.
"Thanks Cheyenne." Reba said as she smoothed out here shirt and fixed it. "So mom, what are you doing back?" Cheyenne asked. "Well you heard right?" Reba asked. "About what? How you just up and left us?" Cheyenne asked. "Cheyenne, I'm sorry, but you all seem to be fine here without me." Reba said on the verge of tears.
"Well what happened Mrs. H, I mean Mrs. M." Van said with a smile. "It's gone back to Mrs. H Van, Jack was killed a week ago in a car accident." Reba said sadly. "Aww mom, I'm sorry I snapped at you, I had no idea." Cheyenne said covering her mouth.
"Mrs. H, I'm sorry." Van said hugging her again, but not so hard. "It's ok, but there is one more obstical I've got to over come." Reba said. "What would that be?" Cheyenne asked. "Brock and Barbra Jean." Reba shuddred and a smile spread across Cheyenne's face. "Don't worry, you'll be fine." Cheyenne said.
"Dad and Barbra Jean have changed while you were gone." Cheyenne reassured her. "Are you serious?" Reba asked a little unsure. "Ohh yeah, Barbra Jean finally started wearing darker colors and Mr. H, well I can't say he changed, ut still, just pretend he did k?" Van said.
Reba rolled her eyes and nodded. "OK I will, but please tell me he took that tannin' bed back!" Reba half screamed. "He did actually, it's surprising no?" Cheyenne asked. Reba's face glazed over. "You actually just used an intelligent sentence." Reba said still in shock.
"What does that big word that starts with an "E" mean?" Cheyenne asked confused. "You're still the same Cheyenne as you've always been." Reba laughed. "Ok well you ready to go see dad?" Cheyenne asked. "I think I'd better go alone if you guys don't mind." Reba replied.
"Yeah I believe you're right Mrs. H." Van said going back to his same routine of only calling Reba by her last name's first letter. "Yeah mom, go on over, I know they'd really like to see ya." Cheyenne said. "Ok I'll be back later." Reba answered opening the front door and walking out.
"Ugh how am I gonna do this? I haven't seen either of them in a year, oh gosh, what ever am I going to do?" Reba asked herself as she went up to Brock and Barbra Jean's front door. "OK here goes nothin'." Reba knocked on the door and to her surprise, Brock answered the door. "Hi." Reba muttered out of her mouth a little anxious to hear what he had to say.
"Wha..?" Was all Brock said. He could not believe that his best friend was back, and also he was also a little mad.
Hey baby, is that you?
Wow, your hair got so long
Yeah, yeah, I love it, I really do
'Norma Jean', ain't that the song
We'd sing in the car
Drivin' downtown, top down
Making the rounds
Checking out the bands on Doheny Avenue
Yeah, life throws you curves
But you learned to swerve
Me I swung and I missed
And the next thing ya know
I'm reminiscin' dreaming old dreams
Wishing old wishes
Like you would be back again
I wake up in tear drops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I head off to my job
Guess not much has changed
Punch the clock
Head for home
Check the phone, just incase
Go to bed
Dream of you
That's what I'm doing these days
Someone told me after college
You ran off to Vegas
You married a rodeo cowboy
Why, that ain't the girl I knew
Me I've been a few places
Mostly here and there once or twice
Still sortin' out life, but I'm doing alright
Yeah, it's good to see you too
Well hey girl, you're late
And those planes, they don't wait
But if you ever come back around
To this sleepy old town
Promise me you'll stop in
To see an old friend
And until then...
I wake up in tear drops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I head off to my job
Guess not much has changed
Punch the clock
Head for home
Check the phone, just incase
Go to bed
Dream of you
That's what I'm doing these
And baby,
I wake up in tear drops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I head off to my job
Guess not much has changed
Punch the clock
Head for home
Check the phone, just incase
Go to bed
Dream of you
That's what I'm doing these
Well,I wake up in tear drops
They fall down like rain
I put on that old song we danced to and then
I head off to my job
Guess not much has changed
No,no,no,no,no,no
Well,I wake up in tear drops
They fall down like rain
