Chapter 11

A few weeks later, Bevin walked into the bar. "Jimmy…it's been a few months now. Are you ever going to get rid of that piano?"

He looked at her. "I thought I might keep it around…keep it here for you."She smiled. "Really?"

He nodded. "Yep. Got anything new you want to test out on it?"

She sighed and shrugged. "There is this song I wrote for Mom and Liam…but I don't know how good it is yet."

"Play it." Kevin said.

She sighed. "Okay."

She walked over to the piano and ran her fingers across the keys lightly. Then she sighed and began playing.

I stumbled across your picture today
I could barely breath
The moment stopped me cold
Grabbed me like a thief.
I dialed your number, but you wouldn't be there
I knew the whole time, but it's still not fair.
I just wanted to hear your voice
I just needed to hear your voice

What do I do with all I need to say?
So much I wanna tell you every day
Oh it breaks my heart.
I cry these tears in the dark
I write these letters to you
But they get lost in the blue
'Cause there's no address in the stars

Now I'm drivin'
Through the pitch black dark
I'm screaming at the sky
Oh cause it hurts so bad
Everybody tells me
All I need is the mornin' rolls in
And it hits me again
And that ain't nothin' but a lie

What do I do with all I need to say?
So much I wanna tell you every day
Oh it breaks my heart
I cry these tears in the dark.
I write these letters to you,
But they get lost in the blue
'Cause there's no address in the stars

Without you here with me, I don't know what to do.
I'd give anything
Just to talk to you

Oh it breaks my it breaks my heart
Oh it breaks my heart

All I can do is write these letters to you
But there's no address in the stars.

She looked up at them when she was finished and they smiled. "Bevin…you really need to do something with that talent."

She laughed. "In this family?"

They shrugged. "Shut up."

She walked behind the bar to grab herself a beer. Suddenly the door to the bar opened and Bevin heard Jimmy set a glass down. "Aaron, what are you doing here? Who is that kid?"

Everything from that moment seemed to go in slow motion for Bevin. She lifted her head and her heart stopped. "Oh my God." She whispered quickly.

"It's him, Bev. It's really him." Aaron smiled, tears in his eyes.

Bevin's heart was pounding in her ears as she jumped over the bar and took off towards her friend. She pulled the kid into her arms and cried.

The boys were very confused until they heard the small voice say one small but powerful word. "Mommy."
