Jadyn sat down in the quiet little room with his guitar sitting on his lap. He couldn’t think of a thing to write about for his love Eden. He couldn’t stop thinking about her ever since he saw her on the stage singing her heart out to the crowd. Jadyn hasn’t been the same since the tour. It all started in 1955 when they both ran into each other in their rush to get to the stage. Eden was funny and smart. While Jadyn knew she was out of his league for one she was married and had a daughter and so was Jadyn and he also had a baby girl and another baby on the way. His wife Vicky knew that he didn’t love her anymore but they just stayed together for their children’s sakes.

Jadyn knew that his life was a mess right with Vicky and his children gone and his next tour not going to happen until he cleaned his act up. But he couldn’t. The cocaine and all the other drugs were so addicting. The only way he could is if he knew that Eden would be there to help him every step of the way. She tried once before when she first found out that he was taking drugs. But they just got in an argument and Eden left the tour. It was now 1957 and he was still taking the drugs and he had not heard a single word from Eden since last month. Jadyn had written four songs all about his love for Eden and how she did not return his feelings.

Jadyn lived in a small apartment in Nashville with some guy trying to hit it big into the music industry. That is the only reason why he let Jadyn stay at his apartment hoping that he could join his tour. Jadyn tried and tried to get a hold of Eden but she lived all the way on the other side of town. So today he decided he would go and see her. He didn’t care even if he had to walk all the way over there, he would see Eden even if she didn’t want to see him.

Jadyn jumped in his old Desoto and drove for forty-five minutes until he reached the countryside and turned down a dirt road. He finally saw Eden’s house. He slammed on the breaks and walked up to the house where he saw Eden’s little girls playing outside.

“Hi Jadyn” Eden’s little girl said, “Mama Jadyn is here!” She yelled through the screen door. Eden walked out drying her hands on a dishtowel. She looked at Jadyn. She turned around and looked at her little girls.

“Will you go put on some water for tea girls?” Eden asked. She looked over at Jadyn. “How are you doing? You don’t look good. Are you still taking them pills?” Eden asked putting her hands on her hips. “Come in the house, have some tea and a meal. It looks like you haven’t been eating a lot lately.” Eden turned and walked into the Jadyn staying quiet.

Jadyn sat down at the table and looked around the house. It had Eden written all over it and he instantly wished that he lived there also. Eden came in with a teacup and a plate of food.
“You know the tour is in three weeks, don’t blow it please!” Eden looked at him. Jadyn looked down ashamed. "I won't I've cleaned my act up." Jadyn strted to eat his meal.
