A/N-it took me longer to update than I thought…sorry guys! I'll MOST likely add another chapter tomorrow morning-if not then, definitely tomorrow night…I have SO many ideas going through my head…I have to pick which ones to use when…
DISCLAIMER: I own nothing
Ruthie and Martin were sitting on the couch when Kevin and Lucy came downstairs. Kevin went to the kitchen and put a bag of popcorn in the microwave, while Lucy took a bag of chips and four cans of pop into the living room. Kevin joined them on the couch after his popcorn was done in the microwave. He sat down beside them and they started the movie. He wrapped his arms around his wife and kissed her forehead. Ruthie leaned her head on Martin's chest, and he hugged her tightly. They all watched the movie together, and all four fell asleep on the couch.
At the Camden's House
The phone rang at about
2 o'clock in the morning. Eric sighed, rolled over in bed, and
answered it.
"Hello?" he asked, sounding very tired.
"Eric…it's Detective Michaels."
"Oh, hi."
"Sorry to wake you…"
"It's ok…what's up?"
"Well…I sort of have some bad news…can I talk to Ruthie?"
"Um…she's over at Kevin and Lucy's…staying the night over there.."
"Oh ok…well…I have bad news about Jack."
"What about Jack?"
"He was killed tonight…about 3 hours ago…he was in a head-on collision with a drunk driver."
"Oh my gosh…" he said, still shocked. "Was anyone else hurt?"
"The drunk driver was killed as well…and Jack's brother has a broken arm and leg."
"That's awful. Thanks for letting me know…"
"The family will be
calling you tomorrow…they want you to do the funeral.."
"Um
ok…sure. I'll talk to you later."
"Ok. Goodnight."
Eric hung up the phone and laid on his back, looking at the ceiling. After laying there for about 15 minutes, he decided he wouldn't be going back to bed anytime soon. He went downstairs and grabbed a glass of milk and two chocolate chip cookies that Annie baked that afternoon. He sat at the kitchen table, took a bite of his cookie and put his head in his hands. Annie came downstairs and wrapped her arms around her husband.
"Who was on the phone honey?" she asked, kissing him on the cheek.
"Detective Michaels…seems that uh…Jack was killed tonight."
Annie was silent and wide eyed, trying to take in what her husband just told her. After a long pause she spoke. "How?"
"He was in a head-on collision with a drunk driver…the driver was killed and Jack's brother has a broken leg and arm."
"Wow…" She said, tearing up a little bit. "Does Ruthie know?"
"Not yet…I'll
tell her tomorrow…I don't want to spoil her time at Kevin and
Lucy's…"
"How are we gonna tell her?"
"I don't
know…"
"God's really gonna have to come through on this
one…come on God…"
Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head, for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!
Now your burden's lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain, so
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!
And like a newborn baby
Don't be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk
Sometimes we fall...so
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!
Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain, then
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!
O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can't contain your joy inside, then
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!
And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory's side, and
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!
