“AJ, my baby girl is gone.” She said as she hugged him tighter.
“So is mine.” He said, “So is mine.”
It was time for everyone to leave, and everyone did so. Many of the family and friends parted ways, even ‘the gang’ and Denise and Linda. They all knew how much AJ just wanted to be with his daughter, so Linda did what she intended to do when she first got to Orlando. She stayed at a hotel.
*****************************
AJ had put Brittany to bed, and was sitting quietly in the living room. He had changed into more comfortable clothes, and was sitting, listening to the radio.
He loved listening to the radio, but hated it in the same sense. Because Roxanne knew practically every song they played on this particular station, and would sing them around the house.
When they would all get together Roxanne and Kristin would make up dances to the songs, and if they went out to a club, which wasn’t unusual, they would dance to them.
After many up-tempo songs, and many being some that the girls had dances to. A slow song came on that AJ had never heard, at least on the radio. There was no introduction to the song, telling you who sang it or what the name of it was. Once it started going he recognized the two voices. (NOTE: Male voice in blue and female voice in red and both voices are in BLACK.)
“That was Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey singing ‘Where You Are’.” The DJ said, “Now to a commercial.”
AJ sat there in thought as he listened to every word of the song, and then hearing the artist.
“She has the CD,” he said as he hopped off the couch, and going to the CD rack.
He was running his pointer finger down the CD’s and skimming the names of each CD.
“I knew she had it.” He said as he pulled it out of its place. “Do I listen to it again?”
He thought for a minute, and decided to listen to it again. He carefully took the CD out of the case, and put it in the CD player. AJ sat down on the couch and stared at the fireplace, as the song started. He looked at the picture of Roxanne, him, and Brittany.
He didn’t think of anything while he listened to the song, and stared at the picture. He heard someone say his name.
