Duncan`s POV:Courtney`s dad was showing my dad and I around the farm.I knew where some of the things were.Like where to keep the horses,where the field is and all that.And Courtney`s dad said something about a special tree.He said we couldn`t go anywhere near it.He said that it was her tree."There are lots of trees in the world,why does she have HER tree?"I thought to myself.We went back to the house and it was already 8:00p.m.When we got to the backyard,thats where the party was.There was lots of country sungers there like,Jason Aldean,Toby Keith,Lynard Skynard,Tim Migraw and Taylor Swift.Then I saw Courtney and her twin sister come out of the back door.Courtney was beautiful.She had on a white dress that came down to her knees,cowboy boots and had her hair down.Her mocha hair glimmered in the lights above.I smiled at her when I saw her and she smiled back.
Courtney`s POV:I walked out the back door with my sister Mindy.(She`s my twin.But we are nothing alike!)I saw Duncan standing there smiling at me.Then Jason Aldean took the microphone and started to sing Amarillo Sky.
He gets up before the dawn.
Packs a lunch and a thermus for his coffee.
It`s another day in the dusty hays.
It`s burnin' rays are wearin' down his body.
The peace is worth the price will go.
It`s the cheapest grain he`s ever sold.
But he`s still holdin' on.
He just takes the tractor another round.
And pulls the plow across the ground.
And he sends up another prayer.
He says Lord,I never complain,I never ask why.
Please don`t let my dreams run dry.
Underneath,underneath this Amarillo Sky.
That hail storm back in eightly-three,sure did take a toll on his family.
But he stayed strong and carried on,like his dad and granddad did before him.
On his knees every night,he prays please let my crops and children grow.
Cause all he`s ever known.
He just takes the tractor another round.
And pulls the plow across the ground.
And sends up another prayer.
He sayd Lord I never complain,I never ask why.
Please don`t let my dreams run dry.
Underneath,underneath this Amarillo Sky.
And he takes the tractor another round,another round,another round.
And he takes the tractor another round,another round.
He says I never complain,I never ask why.
Please don`t let my dreams run dry.
Underneath,underneath this Amarillo Sky.
Underneath,underneath this Amarillo Sky.
The crowd went wild including Duncan who came up to me."You look beautiful tonight."he said."Thanks.You don`t look too bad yourself."I said.Then Brad Paisley came onto the small stage and started to sing "She`s Everything."
Duncan`s POV:I broke the silence between me and Courtney."Would you like to dance?"I asked holding out my hand.She took my hand and smiled.We started to slow dance and after the song ended,she smiled and said,"Thanks for the dance."We went out to the field and started talking."So what was your dad talking about when he said something about "Your Tree?"I asked.
Courtney`s POV:When Duncan asked about My Tree I felt the tears fill up my eyes."What he meant My Tree,was...that was the tree that my mom sat down at when she was sad or upset when she was a kid."I said.I felt a tear fall down my face."It`s okay.My mom`s gone too.I feel your pain."I said.I wiped the tear away and looked up at the sky."Look how many stars there are.They`re beautiful."I said."Yes you are.I mean the stars."Duncan said looking embarrassed."Come on."I said taking his hand and heading back to the house.
