Chapter 2: Leaving?
„I saw you!" BJ repeated and looked at her. Reba tried to think of what Barbara Jean might meant, until hit her.
„You mean the hug?!" She whispered and looked up at her.
„Yes...I saw...and heard everything...He thinks leaving you was a mistake...Reba he is still in love with you and I can feel that.." Reba bit her lower lip and sighed.
„That doesn't mean anythin' and you know that. Maybe he loves me, but I do not love him.." Reba said and threw her hands into he air.
„Reba...that isn't true..I know you love him..." BJ replied and tried to calm her.
„Yes...I love him...but..but I am not in love with him...There is a huge difference.." Reba stammered.
„You're just afraid that he might hurts you again. But He is not that stupid...Making the same mistake twice."
„How'd you know BJ?...Do you even have a clue how I was when he left me?! It probably was the worst time of my life. I can't risk gettin' hurt like that again, just because I let him in again..." Reba almost yelled and looked at her.
„Reba, you know better than this. The hug...it meant more them love. Gosh you were almost crying...And Brock and I are definitely over...I can't do this anymore. He is not in love with me so he'll probably never get happy...Well now I know where Kyra gets this attitude from..." Bj mumbled to herself.
„I was not...and this is nonsense. I am not in love with him and I'll never be. Brock and I are over. And even if I was, he and I have no chance. If I'd take him, I'd lose you...and...and as crazy as it sounds, you're one of my best friends...Probably the only friend I have at the moment!" Reba replied and looked at her.
Barbra Jean stood there motionless, not knowing if she heard right. Reba poked her into her side and looked at her, trying to caught a reaction.
„Best friend?" Barbra Jean stammered.
„God don't make me regret sayin' this Barbra Jean...but yes..."
„OH MY GODDDDD...," Bj screamed and jumped up, pulling Reba into a bone crushing hug.
„Best friends, best friends, best friends.." Barbra Jean mumbled and almost picked Reba up.
„Barbra Jean...me..breakable...no air...," she rasped out. She took several deep breaths when BJ let her down and glared at her. „Don't do this again!"
„Well..but we're best friends...beeeeeest frieeeeeeeeeends...," she squeaked and pulled reba into another, less bone crashing hug.
„Gosh Babra Jean...you really making me regretting this...,"she said breathlessly and pulled away. Barbra Jean out on a goofy smile and looked at her.
„Beep...best friends.." She said and poked Reba's belly. Reba only rolled her eyes and stepped away, as suddenly the door flew open. Reba immediately turned around and saw Brock standing in the doorway.
„Oh no..." Reba mumbled and looked at him. „What do you want?"
„You do realize there's a doorbell that you can ring!" Barbra Jean said through gritted teeth.
„Oh like you'd use it...Oh no wait...you rather sneak through the back door...or Reba's bedroom window...," he replied in a snippy voice. Bjs chin dropped and she was about to say something, when reba stopped her and put a hand ever her mouth.
„What do you want Brock?" Reba repeated her question and looked at him annoyed.
„I wanted to talk to you, but I guess you're busy," he said with a chuckle and stepped inside, closing the door behind him.
„Well BJ wanted to talk...so I guess she just was faster.."
„Well she doesn't have to work so the only thing that is left to do it annoying you..," he replied with a smirk. Babra Jean glared at him and removed Rebas hand from her mouth.
„I am NOT annoying her...unlike you. She is my best friend!!!!!!" Barbra Jean angrily said and made a step forward.
„Yeah...I guess..." He chuckled and shook his head.
„I do not have to listen to this. I'll cal you Reba...," Barbra Jean said and left the house through the backdoor.
„BROCK..." Reba yelled and nudged him. „Did you know that you're a gigantic BUTT?!"
Brock took a step back and started at her surprised. „You Moron!...Course she is ma friend..." Brock's chin dropped and he started at Reba. He couldn't believe his ears.
„What? Babra Jean...your friend?...Since when?" He asked and looked at her.
„I thought you hate her? Suddenly she is your best friend?" Reba almost explode and was about to hit him, but she stopped herself and glared at him.
„Well..i shouldn't judge her what she has done. Finally someone was completely honest with me and I got to know the whole story...plus i really should send her that basket of muffins...," she angrily replied. Brock was about to say something when Reba stopped him
„No...my turn...You...you wrecked our marriage...Not me...You said yourself we could have worked it out...but than you knocked up BJ and of course there was no chance between us anymore...because you have no control over what is in your pants..," she yelled at him and stomped her foot.
„And now..GET OUT...," she said and pushed him towards a door. Brock looked at her and turned around, leaving without saying a word. Reba slammed the door shut out of anger and leaned against it, a single tear running down her cheek.
Brock silently walked back to his house, thinking about what Reba said. He thought he might had a chance with her...A second chance, but now this chance was gone. He hated himself for hurting her this much, he knew why he couldn't love BJ. She was the reason why he hurt Reba. The one woman he always loved.
'I really have no control,' he thought to himself and opened the door to the house. He knew this had to end. He should let Babra Jean and Reba move on, without him being around. When he entered the house he saw Barbra Jean sitting in the kitchen. Without a word he grabbed the phone and walked upstairs.

A few days later, Barbra Jean walked back to her house, after she had lunch with Reba. She was more than happy and a really good mood, until she walked into Brock in the living room. She saw backpacks and suitcases standing everywhere in the living room. She was confused as heck and looked at him.
„What are you doing?" Barbra Jean said and put away her keys and coat. Brock put down the suitcase he was carrying and walked over to BJ.
„I am moving...," he said and looked at her.
„Are you running away form your problems again?" She asked and looked at her feet.
„No...i have to leave BJ..for your and Rebas sake."
„Where are you going?," she asked and looked up at him again.
„San Antonio...I got a job offer there. All in all it is the best for you, Reba and me." Barbra Jean looked at him shocked.
„Wha about the kids...Henry and Jake...Kyra...and Cheyenne. Or your granddaughter...You can't just leave like that," she whispered.
„I can..and I will...The kids can come down whenever they wants, they can email me and they can call me at any time of the day." Brock sighed and picked up his suitcase again, walking over to the car.
„And don't tell anyone..I wanna do that..." Barbra Jean silently nodded to herself and watched him carrying the rest of the stuff into the car.
„You're going to get the papers in a week or something...bye...," he mumbled and left to go over to Rebas house. Barbra Jean let herself fall down on the ouch and buried her face in her hands. She didn't want him to leave. Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her, so she looked up only to see henry running down the stairs.
„Mommy...," he said and ran over to her, streching his arms out. Barbra Jean immediately pulled him close and on her lap, kissing his forehead.
„Where's daddy going?" Henry asked and looked at her.
„He's going away...," she whispered and hugged Henry tightly.

Reba pulled her car into the driveway, letting out a long sighed before she got out. She had a horrible day at work. First her boss kept yelling at her for coming in late and than her client refused to buy the fifth house she was showing him. She got out of the car and walked over to the house.
As she walked into the house she let out a long sighed, when she was Brock standing in the living room. She didn't notice anything until she heard Jake.
„Mommmmmy...," he mumbled and ran over to her, hugging her waist tightly. Reba was surprised by the sudden out burst and hugged him back gently.
„What is wrong...?" She gave Brock and the kids a confused look, when Jake tilt his head back and looked at her.
„Dad is going away...," he replied, tears filling his eyes. He quickly buried his face in her stomach and let out a long sob.
