Chapter Four

Round

MY TIRES roll over the gravel driveway of the cemetery, slowly bringing me to a stop a few feet from a row of headstones. I haven’t been here in a long time, not since the day we put my wife in the ground. In fact, I’ve done my best to stay the fuck away from the place. It’s filled with nothing but reminders of my failures.

Climbing from my bike, I head to Shelia’s grave first. My hand rests upon her cold stone as my eyes close, and I send up a silent prayer for strength. Giving my head a shake, I look down and see a fresh bouquet of pink roses, and a proud smile spreads across my face. Smoke’s taking care of his sister, even if I’m not.

“Miss you, sweetheart. Miss you more every damn day,” I say to her stone, hoping like hell she can hear me. “I dream about you every night, about your smile. Not a day goes by that you aren’t on my mind. You shouldn’t be here. I was supposed to go before any of y’all did. I would give my own life just to hear you laugh one more time.”

I wait a second, hoping for some type of response. I’m not crazy enough to actually expect one, but she could send me a sign. A gust of wind, one of the butterflies she used to chase, any fucking thing. Of course, nothing comes.

Taking in a deep breath, I say, “Sorry for not coming here more often. It’s not something that’s easy for me to do. I feel stupid talking to some stone with your name on it, knowing you’re not really here with me.”

Reaching into my pocket, I pull out one of her favorite candy bars and lay it on her headstone. The few times I’ve been here, I’ve always brought one. My little girl was never much on flowers, but she loved candy.

Laying my hand on Shelia’s headstone, I give her an order. “I’m gonna go talk to your momma, and what I got to say is between the two of us. So if you can hear me, it’s time you plugged your ears.”

I smile at the image of my little girl sulking, fingers stuck in her ears. It’s something she used to do as a child, any time a curse word slipped from my lips. She was cute as hell then. In my mind, she’s still that little girl, not the broken drug addict she was at the time of her death.

Turning away from Shelia’s grave, I look at the spot Lauren was laid to rest. My eyes lock onto the white roses sitting on the ground. Again, my lips curve into a smile knowing that my son is doing his duty. Lauren and I may not have done much right in our marriage, but we raised one hell of a man.

I kneel down and just stare at her name chiseled in the stone. It’s still hard to believe that she’s gone, hard to believe I’m never going to see her face again.
