"Mom whats wrong? Why are crying? What happened?"
"Baby come and sit down with me," her mother said in between sobs.
"Its your father. He's gone honey. Someone cut him off while he was driving down the freeway. He lost control of his car. It ran off of the road and flipped a number of times. The police officers told me that he died instantly."
"NO! No its not true! He cant be gone. I just saw him this morning! Dad cant be gone!"
Briana's mother took her in her arms and they both cried. Uncontrolable sobs. Briana was very close to her father. From day one she had always been daddy's little girl.
"I didn't get to tell him goodbye," Bri said as she was crying. "Mom, I cant remember if I told him I loved him this morning! Mom please, he can't be gone, he just can't"
"I can't believe it either honey. But hes gone. He knows you love him baby. He can see us right now. I know he is here with us. He will always be here with us."
"I have to go, I can't stay here. I can't stay in this house."
"Baby you can't go anywhere, you dont have anywhere to go."
"I'm gonna call Chris and stay with him and his parents. I cant stay here mom. I just cant."
With that Briana got up off the couch and called Chris. The second she heard his voice she broke into tears again.
"Bri, baby, whats wrong?"
"My dad is gone Chris, hes gone. I need you. I cant stay her. Please come get me. I cant stay here."
Briana was hysterical at this point. Before she could say another word there was a knock at the door. It was Chris. In the front of the house was his mother. Briana's mom went outside and to talk to Chris' mom. Chris ran up to Bri and held her. Bri was crying uncontrollably at this point. Chris picked her up in his arms and started to carry her to the car. Briana's mom was being consolled by Chris' mother, Diane. Diane told Cyndi that she was more than welcome to come too.
"No, I cant. I have some family coming down. They should be here in about an hour. Please take care of Bri. She and her father were very close. I dont know what she might do."
"Dont worry, Chris and I will keep an eye on her."
Chris put Bri in the back seat of the car and sat down and put her head in his lap. He stroked her hair and talked to her. He told her that everything would be okay.
"I know it doesnt seem like it now Bri, but it's going to be okay. I have always believed that everything happens for a reason. That everyone has a time. This is just God's way of saying that your father has a higher purpose now. The good Lord needs him. Think of your dad now as your Guardian Angel. He will always be wathching you Bri. Always."
Briana looked up at him with tear filled eyes and mouthed a thank you. She could barely speak. Her throat was in knots. She took comfort in the words that Chris spoke. she could not help buy be angry at God for taking her father. She needed him now.
They finally arrived at Chris' house and he carried Bri inside.
"Why dont you take her into the family room hon."
"No mom, I am putting her in my bed and making a pallet on the floor for myself. She is not going to sleep on some couch. I am going to be there if she needs me!" Chris was very adament about this. His mother could see the look in his eyes. She knew he cared for her emmensly. She agreed and got out extra pillows and a blankets for her son to make a pallet next to his bed. Chris walked up the stairs with Bri still in his arms. Her arms firmly wrapped around his neck. Her light frame, even at 5'10'', was easy for Chris to carry. He laid her down in the bed and took off her shoes.
"Bri, baby, I am going to go get you a glass of water and some crackers to munch on."
"Im not hungry. I dont think I can keep anything down."
"Baby, you need to try and eat something. I know you feel sick, but if you dont eat you are going to really get sick. We need to keep you hydrated. Please Bri, try for me?"
"Okay," she said in a very weak voice.
Chris headed back downstairs and got a bottle of water and some saltine crackers for her to eat.
"Here are your blankets Chris. If you need anything, I am just down the hall."
"Thanks mom, but I will be okay."
Chris went back to his room and shut the door. Bri had fallen asleep from the exhaustion of crying. He put the water and the crackers on the bedside table. He began to make his pallet on the floor. His bed was a queen, big enough for the both of them to fit, but he wasn't sure if Bri wanted him in the bed with her at this point. He had just finished putting the last of the blankets down when he heard a very tired, hoarse voice, "Baby, would you come hold me?" That's all Chris needed. He crawled into the bed and under the covers with the girl that he loved more than life itself and held her as she cried herself to sleep once again.
The morning came and Chris woke up to Bri cuddled into him. He could feel her body shaking even as she slept. When he tried to get up to go to the bathroom, he was held by the grasp of his girlfriend.
"Dont go."
"Bri, baby, I will be right back, I promise. I have to go and use the restroom."
"I dont want to be by myself."
"Okay, then I am going to have mom come in here and stay with you while I go use the restroom okay baby?"
"Okay."
Chris yelled for his mother to come into the bedroom.
"Mom I have to go to the bathroom and Bri doesnt want to be alone. Will you lie with her while I go?"
"Yes I will stay with her."
Chris got up and his mother laid down and took his place on the bed. She stroked Bri's hair and talked softly to her. Much like her own mother would have done. Bri thought to herself I should not have left my mom last night. She needed me. But I just could not stay in that house. It just doesnt feel right with dad no being there. What if no one showed up last night to help mom?
"Diane, did someone go to mom's house last night and stay with her?"
"Yes dear. Her sister and brother got to the house shortly after we got you here. She is doing just about as well as you are right now. I think you are both in shock."
"My dad's gone Diane," she said as she began to cry again. "He's gone and I am never going to see him again."
"You will see him again one day. It was just his time honey."
About that time Chris came back into the bedroom. His mother got up and Chris laid back down with Bri.
"I am going to go downstairs and make something for breakfast. Briana, dear, you have to eat. I wont make anything to crazy. Maybe just a bowl of ceral. But you have to try and eat, okay?"
"Baby, mom's right, you have to try."
"Okay I will. I am a little hungry."
Chris' mom headed downstairs to get the two of them something to eat.
"I need you Chris."
"I'm right here baby. I'm not going anywhere, I promise. My mom already called the school and told the principal what happened. He knows that we are not going to be in school for a bit. He is going to send our homework and notes home with April and Jonathan. They are going to come by later and see how you are."
Bri turned to face Chris and buried her head deep into his chest.
"I miss him Chris. I miss my dad. I want him back!"
"I know you do baby. I know you do. I know exactly what you're going through. I lost my dad a few years back. He was in the marines and was serving his 2nd tour in Iraq. He and his squad were doing routine checks on passing vehicles between the borders. One of those cars was carrying a bomb. That bomb took out half of his squad. He was the closest one to the bomb. Mom and I didnt get to bury him. Only pictures and things were put into his casket. Like you, I was very close to my dad. When I was 12 I tried to committ suicide. I took a whole bunch of sleeping pills. Luckily my mom found me in time and took me to the hospital. They were able to pump my stomach and save me. I had to go to therapy for about a year. I was on some anti-depressants. Believe me when I say Bri, that things will get better. You will never get over your fathers death, but you will learn to live each day knowing that he is still here."
"I had no idea Chris. I am so sorry."
"Bri, I am going to be here every step of the way for you. I do not want you to make the same mistake I did and try to do something that you may regret, or that you may not even get the chance to regret. I know what you're going through. You can talk to me about anything Bri."
"Thank you baby. I love you so much. I dont know what I would do if you were not here to help me through this."
Bri leaned up and kissed the love of her life. She knew that Chris was right. She also knew that it would take time and that Chris would be here when she needed him. The kiss became more needful. The feel of Chris holding her and the feel of his kiss comforted Briana. Just then Diane walked in.
"Alright you two," she said as she chuckled a little. "Here we are, two bowls of ceral and some fruit and juice to go with it. Enjoy."
"Thank you so much Mrs. Barnett."
"Please, call me Diane. Listen you two, I have to go to work. Are you going to be okay by yourselves?"
"Yes mom, we will be fine."
"Alright, I will see you two around 6 or so. Love you."
"Love you too mom."
Diane left for work leaving Chris to stay with Bri. For the next two hours Bri cried off and on. Talking about the things that her and her dad used to do. She talked about the fishing trips that he took her on. Their trip to California and Disney World. Being able to see the ocean. She told him about how he used to read her stories at night to help her fall asleep. And how he would tuck her in nice in tight so that no bed bugs could get to her.
"I just miss him so much Chris. I want all of that back. I am never going to be able to see him again. He wont be here to walk me down the isle when we get married..."
The realization that her father would not be able to give her away when she got married made her cry even more. Chris looked at her with pleading eyes, begging her to tell him what he could do. She looked up at him and pressed her lips to his. Her kiss became more needful. His tongue slipped into her mouth. She pulled him even closer.
"Wait Bri, wait...I wont take advantage of you like this. You are grieving for your dad. This isnt right."
"I need you Chris. I need you right now."
Chris was lost in thos beautiful blue eyes of hers. He rolled her over so that he was hovering above her. "Are you sure baby?"
"I need you."
He lowered himself and kissed her passionately. Her back raising so that her whole body was touching his. He sat up and removed his shirt. She rubbed her hands across his stomach, feeling each individual muscle that formed his six pack abs. She moved her hands to his chest. He bent down once more and kissed her.
Bri had never before felt this. She had never once had the need to have sex. Grief can do strange things to people. It was the need to have someone close to her, feel the comfort of another human being. But not just anyone, Chris. He raised her shirt and lifted it over her head. He kissed along her neck and down to where her bra was. The clasp for her bra was in the front. He undid the clasp and removed her bra to reveal two perfectly shaped breast. He moved to one and began to lightly suck on her nipple. Her hands were intertwined in his hair. She was moaning at the sensation of him sucking on her already hard nipple. With his free hand he was rubbing the other. She pulled him up and kissed him.
"I want to feel you Chris, I want to feel you inside me."
He removed his pants and then his boxers. He was now completely undressed. He undid the button on her jeans and pulled them off along with her panties. She was already dripping. Chris came back up the length of her body.
"Are you sure this is want you want baby?"
"I have never been more sure Chris. I need you right now."
With that said he guided his penis into her opening. She let out a gasp as he began to enter her.
"Bri, let me know if you want me to stop."
She shook her head no. He pulled out a little and pushed in a little bit more. Knowing that he was a bigger than most, he took his time. Especially since Bri was a virgin. Each time he pulled out a little, he went in a little farther when he pushed back in. After a few minutes he was completely inside of her. She was breathing very heavy and moaning every time he pushed back into her. She spread her legs even wider. The sensation of having the boy that she loved inside of her when she needed him the most felt wonderful to her. Chris matched the motion of her rocking hips and he moved in and out. The faster her hips moved, the fast her moved. He was holding back his orgasm. He wanted to cum with her.
"Bri, let me know when you're close. I want to get off with you. I want to get off together."
"Oh my God baby, I'm ready."
Thats all it took. At the same time, the two lovers climaxed together. He started to slide his dick out of her, but she stopped him.
"No baby, I want you to stay inside me. I want to feel you. Im not ready for you to leave me yet."
"Okay baby."
He rolled over so that she was on top of him. So that she could decide when she wanted to get off. She laid there for some time and finally moved to lay beside him with her head on his chest. He started to stroke her hair and face. Something that he had grown used to doing.
"Thank you baby for being here for me. I needed to feel you."
"This isnt something you are going to regret after the shock of losing your father wears off is it."
"No, I needed you and you were here for me. It may have been sooner than we both wanted, but I dont regret it. Not for a second. I love you Chris, with all my heart."
"I love you too Bri."
They laid there and went to sleep holding each other. Legs and arms intertwined. You could not tell where one body began and where the other ended.
Bri and Chris woke up shortly before 5:30. They got up and took a shower together. Soaping each other up and having a bit of fun. Chris saw Bri smile for the first time since she learned of her fathers death. They got out and put on some clothes. Bri put on an old pair of Chris' shorts and an old shirt. They were a little big on her, but better than putting on the same clothes she was wearing. Right after they changed clothes Chris' mom got home.
"Kids, I'm home!"
"Be right down mom!"
Chris and Bri came downstairs and greeted Diane.
"Its good to see you up and about."
"I dont think I could be without Chris. You have a very special son."
"Yes I was blessed with a good boy. So are you two hungry?"
"I am, but I really need to get home and see how my mom is doing. I need to be with her."
"Alright, c'mon, I will drive you home."
They pulled up in front of Bri's house. Chris got out and walked her to the door.
"Are you going to be okay baby?"
"I think so. I cant say I wont cry or fall apart again, but I know that I have you, my mom and your mom. So I think I will be okay."
Chris kissed Bri goodbye and told her that he loved her.
"I love you too Chris and thank you for being here for me."
Bri walked into the house and was greeted by her aunt and uncle. Her mom was sitting in the family room drinking a glass of tea. She looked so tired. She looked as Bri did, like she had been crying all night. She walked up to her mother and hugged her. They both started to cry again. Once they calmed down they began to talk about the good times they shared with her dad. Her mom told her about their first time meeting one another and about their wedding. They stayed up all night writing down what they would need to prepare for the funeral. What kind of casket they would pick out and what they wanted the headstone to say.
"Briana, honey, if it were not for you and my brother and sister, I dont think I could get through this. Thank you so much for helping me stay strong."
"Its a two way street mom. I could not do it without you or Chris either. We all make each other strong and thats what is going to help us get through this."
