Chapter 2
*Sorry for the short chapter guys but this is where I wanted to leave this one off because I have chapter 3 and 4 all planned out already*
"I still love you. I have always loved you and I will always love you," he whispered. That was only some of what he had went over to tell her earlier but he would tell her the other part later. He scanned her face searching to find out what she was thinking. Her mouth hung open slightly, she seemed totally shocked.
Brock crossed the little space between them and grabbed her hand. "Reba?" he asked softly, waiting for her to say something, anything.
"No Brock." she whispered back. She said it so quietly he wasn't quite sure what she had said.
"What?"
"I said no Brock! You can't do this to me! As soon as I find someone, someone nice, who treats me good, you come back. You can't just do that." She yelled and walked quickly out the door.
What do I do? Brock thought. He couldn't let her get away again. "Reba wait!" he yelled running after her.
"Brock just leave me alone. I need some space, some time to think."
"Okay," Brock whispered and watched as Reba walked away.
Kyra peeked through the curtains when she heard footsteps coming up to the house. Reba was sitting on the little bench outside her door. "Jake? Can you listen for Elizabeth? I'm just going outside. If she wakes up just call me okay?" She said to her little brother who was engrossed in some TV show. Jake gave a quick nod and Kyra headed out to sit with her mother.
"Hey mom, you okay?" Kyra said sitting on the bench. She wrapped her arm around her mother's and entwined their fingers. She gently rested her head on her mother's shoulder. She felt Reba lean her head down on top of her own. A tear rolled down Reba's cheek and she waited a minute before she answered hoping that her voice wouldn't crack.
"Your dad just told me he still loves me..." Reba said quietly not sure how her middle child would take the news.
"And do you still love him?" Kyra replied.
"Oh I don't know Kyra. I've just started seeing Narvel and he's really sweet and nice but I've known your dad for thirty years. We have you and Cheyenne and Jake. He is good father to you guys but the divorce was really hard on me. I don't know if I could be with him again."
"You know what you're going to do?" Kyra asked not sure of what to say.
"I have no idea honey." she replied.
Then Jake called for Kyra saying that Elizabeth had woken up. She slowly sat up and let go of Reba's hand. Reba was just sitting there staring into space. Kyra wished there was some way to help out.
"You coming in mom?" she asked not wanting to leave her there by herself.
"Not yet. You go in, I'll be there in a bit." seeing the apprehension on Kyra's face she added, "I'll be fine, don't worry."
Kyra waited another minute but then heard Jake call her again and Elizabeth was crying. She went inside and headed upstairs and picked up her beautiful little niece. She loved that little girl very much but right now she wished Cheyenne was there so that she can be helping her mother.
When Reba came in she hugged the kids then went upstairs to her bedroom. She had to be up the next morning for work and then she had her date with Narvel. As she closed her eyes trying to drift to sleep, pictures of Narvel and Brock drifted across her eyelids.
