The Sun Will Shine Again
~part one~
The sun had barely awoken on that first Saturday morning of November when Michael Vaughn woke up in his Los Angeles home but while the soft rays of sunlight started their morning game of iluminating everything it ran past on its way, the beauty of it wasn't noticed by Michael.
But then again, how is one possible to enjoy the beauty of nature when you're about to say goodbye to someone you loved so much and who you will never see again?
For the last four years, Michael Vaughn had had to deal with saying goodbye to a lot of people and everything it felt as if he had to part with a small part of himself.
It had all started four years ago when his best friend Thomas Williams died in a car accident on his way to meet him for their monthly hockey evening and ever since, bad luck had taken possession of Michael Vaughn's life and it seemed as if it would go on forever.
Michael had barely gotten over the death of his best friend when a year later his mother died of cancer.
Since the day his mother died, it seemed as if he had lost his father too because no matter what he did to try and cheer his father up, nothing seemed to work and today, three years after the death of Elisabeth Vaughn, William Vaughn had decided to go back to his beloved wife.
Sighing heavily, Michael finally got out of bed and it was only then that he noticed that his wife Lauren Reed wasn't laying in bed.
Figuring she had already gone downstairs, he too made his way to the kitchen.
Walking into the kitchen, he saw Lauren stand near the kitchen sink with her cellphone and cup of coffee in her hand, the same ritual as every other day.
Noticing him standing there, she quickly finished her conversation and turned towards him.
"Morning."
"Morning. You got up early."
"Well if I want to catch my plane at eight, I will have to hurry."
"So you're really going to get through with this huh?"
"Michael, we talked about this before. I have an important job, they can't miss me. The entire future of the company is on my shoulders."
"Do you know what I don't understand Lauren?"
"Now what?"
"Whenever something in your family happens, everyone around you has to just drop everything and comfort you but what you don't seem to understand is that others need comfort too once in awhile."
"Look, I have an important meeting today which I have to go to and that's it."
"Yeah, an important meeting that you can have anytime you want. Of course that that is more important than your father-in-law's funeral, who you can only attend once."
"We're not having this conversation again Michael, we had it for more than two weeks and I'm sick of it. I'm very sorry for your loss but I'm not going to the funeral. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a plane to catch."
"Sure."
"I'll be back in two days."
And without saying a proper goodbye or a kiss, she picked up her bag and was out of the house and frankly, he no longer cared because for the last six months, their marriage had been nothing but a mere formality.
The love they had once felt for each other had been long gone.
I hope you'll like it.
