Em's POV:

One day passed after camping and Luke was still here. We were gonna start packing all my stuff today.

I woke up and smelt waffles. I walked out of my room and into the kitchen to see what was going on. Mama was makin waffles. There was orange juice, fruit, waffles, and croissants.

"Oh my god mama. This looks so good." I smiled.

"I figured that it would be a long day for you and Luke so I made a big breakfast and thought I'd help you guys out later." Mama said excitedly. I nodded and filled a plate with food for myself.

I sat down and started eating when Luke came in the door.
"Hey beautiful." He smiled and kissed my head.

"Mrs. Nelson." He smiled and kissed my mom on the cheek.

"You're in a happy mood. What's up?" I laughed.

"Kerri gave me a few extra vacation days. I can stay to help you out." Luke smiled. I got up and ran to hug him. I jumped into his arms and he spun me around the kitchen. I wrapped my legs around his waist and leaned my forehead against his.

"I'm so happy." I whispered.

"I can tell." He laughed and kissed me. "Let's eat and then we'll start packing."

We sat down and ate almost everything before going to my room with a million boxes.

I turned on the radio super loud and started taking all my clothes out my closet and folded them up to put in boxes. All my jeans and shirts went in one box. All my shirts and jackets in another. All my shoes got thrown into a box and I didn't let Luke pack all my bras and panties even though he wanted to. He was pouting the whole time that I was putting them into  a box.

"Quit your pouting." I threw a pair of socks at him.

"You're just being mean." He laughed and packed up the socks.

All of my clothes were packed by noon and all that was left was a few miscellaneous things that didn't really belong in a box by itself. Everything else was really staying at my house considering Luke already had most of the stuff I needed.

Momma didn't need to help us at all. It was all done. She was a little disappointed, but it all turned out okay.

By the time daddy got home from work, everything was packed up.

"Leaving me already?" Daddy asked as he walked in the door.

I ran up and gave him a hug.
"I'll come back and visit." I said against his shoulder.

"You better kid. Otherwise you'll hear knockin' on your door." He laughed. I let go and walked towards Luke.

"And I'll be in good hands." I smiled and hugged Luke.

"I know you will." Daddy smiled. Luke looked down at me and kissed me on the lips, but pulled away quickly. I looked back at daddy and he was crying. Mama went to him and took him out of the room.

"When do you wanna leave?" Luke asked me quietly.

"Whenever you want to. Everything is already packed." I smiled. He nodded and kissed me again.

~~~~~

Luke and I stayed at my house for dinner and spent some time with my family and his.

Daddy grilled burgers and Mr. and Mrs. Bryan came over for dinner.

Luke's POV:

After dinner Mama called me over to her while everyone was going inside.

"Luke. We need to plan a funeral for Chris. We can't ignore this." Mama told me.

"I'm not ignoring it." I snapped at her.

"Well it damn sure looks like it. You went on vacation a day after it happened and now you're just going back to Nashville!" She yelled at me.

"I'm living my life! Yeah! He's gone, but do you want me to sit there and be a lump on the couch for months and not do anything about it. It's just too hard to think about it." I sighed.

"I know. We all have different ways of coping with things. I'm sorry, but you can't go to Nashville just yet." Mama looked at the ground.

"What?" I backed up. "No. I'm going. I'll help plan the funeral. I'll be there for the funeral. Hell, I'll even put his body in the ground, but I am not postponing Nashville. I would've the first time, but Emilee is coming with me this time and I'm not just gonna make her stay here with me." I told her and went inside.

"Em, are you ready to go?" I whispered in her ear as I sat down next to her.

"Yeah." She smiled and stood up. I followed her to the bedroom so we could grab the rest of her bags and stuff.

We came out of the room and put everything in my truck. Everybody else gathered outside.

"Be safe honey." My mama hugged me. I nodded and made my way down the line of my family and hugged my sister and daddy.

We were finally done with all the goodbyes and tears and sorrows. Luke helped me into the truck and started the truck. I waved goodbye to everybody and Luke started to drive away.

A/N: It's short. I know. I'm sorry. I've been really busy. I'm hoping on updating a big chapter soon😕 anyways. Enjoy✌🏼️
