If It's Bad News, It Can Wait - Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate)[00:00:00]
My three best friends and I planned a weeklong trip[00:00:03]
For our spring break during our senior year of high school[00:00:10]
We were undeterred and free and grown[00:00:19]
We left before the sun rose and began the first leg[00:00:24]
To Virginia Beach for a couple of days[00:00:35]
Before heading out to camp on the outer banks[00:00:42]
When we arrived we spent the first night playing video games[00:00:51]
We brought from home in our hotel room[00:00:59]
In the morning we ventured out into the world[00:01:09]
And wandered around until late at night[00:01:16]
Like spectators or ghosts[00:01:22]
As artificial lights burned brighter than daylight[00:01:27]
The boardwalk was teeming with youth[00:01:35]
Brashly claiming adulthood like it was the last day on earth[00:01:40]
We retreated back to our hotel exhausted[00:01:48]
The phone in our room rang out at an ungodly hour[00:01:56]
When only bad things are on the other end[00:02:01]
I answered and gave it to Danny[00:02:07]
So he could hear his brother passed away[00:02:10]
He dropped the phone and bolted out into the hall[00:02:17]
Blind with grief[00:02:21]
We ran out after him unsure of what to do[00:02:24]
He threw off our embrace and escaped down the stairs to the beach[00:02:33]
And haunted the shore of the Atlantic for hours and hours[00:02:40]
I waited and watched from a nearby park bench[00:02:50]
When he came back we got into the car and drove the twelve hours back home[00:02:57]
And made it just in time for the funeral[00:03:08]
