After hearing what Reba had to say, Brock was furious. Reba had been sitting on the couch and Brock had been sitting right there next to her, but he now stood in anger. "That's it!" He turned around and grabbed his coat off the hanger by the door. "He's gone TOO FAR! His little stunt he pulled at your house was pushing it, but this I just CAN'T let go!"
Reba got up and stood in Brock's way of the door. "Move!"
"No, Brock. I'm not going to let you go over there and hurt someone, or hurt yourself for that matter."
"I'm going to show him what happens when he misses with you like that!"
"Brock. No. You can't be too mad about this. You would have tried to do the same thing if you were in his situation and you know it! Now, going to fight him is not the answer. Not only that, but he doesn't want to sign the divorce papers as it is. How do you think he is going to feel about it if you go over there?" She had a tired and concerned expression on her face.
"You're just going to let him treat you like that!?"
"Brock, I'm not going to put up with this tonight! Okay? Just drop it!" She yelled at him, her voice shaking as she was on the verge of tears.
"Whoa, honey what's wrong?" He was starting to get a little worried. He pulled her close, into a tight hug and waited for her to tell him what was on her mind.
"Brock, I love you. You know I do. And we both know what he is doing is wrong, but I feel so terrible. I'm hurting him so badly. He really isn't a bad guy!" she took a second to breathe, then she continued, "And today, he saw something he shouldn't have and you should have seen the hurt in his eyes!"
Brock tried to calm her a little, just holding her tight.
"I hate this Brock! I really do! I hate hurting him like this!"
"What was it that was so bad? What couldn't he see?" Brock asked a now calmer Reba. He was a little confused.
"Well, I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but there is a chance I might be pregnant. And when I was at the store today I bought a test, but when I fell, it fell out, and he saw it."
"Oh, my God! Reba! This is great!"
"But he shouldn't have found out that way, Brock!"
"True. But you can't tell me you aren't excited about this!" He hugged her a little tighter, and she hugged him back.
"That's not the point," she told him, turning to walk up the stairs. She was tired of walking around in wet clothes. "I don't know how I'm going to get him to sign those papers…"
Brock followed close behind. "We'll invite him over tomorrow and we'll all talk, alright?"
Reba turned half way up the stairs and stopped Brock with her hand, "Talk. Okay? I don't want anything but talking," she stressed.
"Yes, just talking."
"Promise?"
"I can try…," he stalled.
"Promise!" She pressed.
Brock gave a look of defeat and huffed before saying, "Promise."
Tomorrow was going to be an interesting day for everyone…
Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
Here we lay again
On two separate beds
Riding phone lines
to meet a familiar voice
And pictures drawn from memory
We reflect on miscommunications
And misunderstandings
And missing each other too
Much to have had to let go
Turn our music down
And we whisper
"Say what you're thinking right now"
Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
Jumping to conclusions
Made me fall away from you
I'm so glad that the truth has brought back together me and you
We're sitting on the ground and we whisper
"Say what you're thinking out loud"
Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
You can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
Turn our music down
And we whisper
We're sitting on the ground
And we whisper
We turn our music down
We're sitting on the ground
The next time I'm in town
We will kiss girl
We will kiss girl
Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
And so alone
The worst is over
can have the best of me
We got older
But we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we won't
Feeling that we can't
That were not ready to give up
We got older, but we're still young
We never grew out of this feeling that we wont give up
