Chapter Fifteen
"Where is he?" Amy was silent. I had to repeat myself, but more quietly. I had a funny, sinking feeling in my stomach. "Where is he Amy?"
"Alongside a road, out of his car, ten feet in front of it, dead." I could hear Amy crying quietly on the other end.
"Oh my God. Can you tell me what happened?"
"He was hit by a drunk driver going through an innersection." She took a deep breath. "He was going through when a drunk came through, not seeing hhim, hit him, throwing Brett through the windshield, pushing his car to the side of the road. The cops made arrangements for his funeral, and the soonest they can do it is on the day of the concert. I can't go. As for the tickets and passes, since he won't be there, you need to find someone eighteen or over to take his place and keep the tickets."
"What about yours?"
"Do your sisters like Hanson?"
"Only Vanessa."
"I'll give mine to her then."
"I'm sure she'll be thrilled."
"Yeah. I hope so. Say hi to them for me. I'll see Sam tomorrow, so I'll give her the tickets. I have to go."
"Thank you Amy. I know these tickets were such a sacrafice. I mean, if I would have kknown we'd get these tickets in exchange for your brother, I wouldn't have taken them. I'm so sorry."
"Well, have fun. I'll talk to you later."
"Kay. If you ever need anything, call me."
"Thanks. Bye."
"Yeah, bye." Once again, I went downstairs and sat down. I just sat and looked at Trey.
"Come here." Trey slid his chair back and patted his lap. I went around the table and sat on his lap, then wrapped my arms around his neck. "What'd she say?"
"Brett's dead."
"Oh no. How?"
"A drunk driver hit him. He went through the windshield. He landed about ten feet in front of the car. The funeral will be on the day of the concert. Amy won't be able to go. She said she'd give the tickets to Sam to give to me to give to Vanessa."
"Are you gonna cry?"
"Why? I barely knew him. I'm just sad for Amy. She's lost a brother, she can't go to the concert..."
"Bummer."
"Yeah. Ready to go to bed? I'm tired and I have to call Sam."
