Our world {TMR high}

Chapter 27

(Sonya POV)

"Come on sweetie." I squeeze onto his hand as we walk down to the beach,taking a seat down on the sand,he's still all little quiet. What with after everything which has happened. He was staying with family but I took the opportunity to let him spend a day out,everyone else seemed busy. Most of them supervising and supporting the others who had to rehearse for this singing show which was in about a week.

"I brought this," I pull out a chocolate bar,fruit and nut. This one was his favourite.
"I don't fancy it."
"Come on Newt."
"No."
"Would you please!" He turns round and looks at me as soon as I shout,he looks like a puppy about to cry. I bow my head "Look,I'm sorry. I don't mean to be snappy. But it's killing me to see you like this, please just smile."
"You're right I'm sorry. I just can't believe it's in a couple hours."
"I know, are you sure you wanna go?"
"Of course, just to say goodbye."
"Yeah."

We're all there at the funeral. Friends,family. Newt keeps his mouth shut,doesn't act likes he's anyone different, I can tell he's about to cry but I squeeze his hand tight. Whispering to him they it will be okay.

The service is a few hours,and when the others are called up to speak. Newt stays behind,I know he has something prepared but he keeps quiet, it goes into his dad's brother speaking when he starts to walk out the door. Not many people noticing. I follow after him,Ivy behind me. We catch up to him a little while later,just sitting beside a grave. We silently walk up and sit beside me.

"Too much?" I ask him,stroking his back through his black Blazer.

He nods.

"You did really well,we're really proud of you." Ivy says.
"You think I did well?" He asks her.
"Of course, you know it's what your parents would've wanted."
"What,to die?"
"No,for you to be at the funeral."

"Ivy?"

We all turn round to see Winston,who's walking towards us.

"What's up?" He asks us all.

We don't say anything,but he gets the point.

"Ivy,come on. I think it's best we let Sonya and Newt be alone."
"Oh okay." Ivy gets up and squeezes my shoulder then walks away with Winston,hand in hand.

I turn to Newt,snuggling up close to him and leaning my head on his shoulder. I expect him to pull away but he encloses his arm around me, kissing my cheek gently.

"Thank you Son,you're making a difficult time for me a lot easier right now. And I really appreciate it."
"It's okay,you know I love you right?"
"Of course. And you know I love you too."
"Of course."

(Winston POV)

We sit on a bench outside the church,watching the cars go by.

"Winston there's something I need to tell you.."
"Yes?"
"You know why I'm here right?"
"Because of your parents?"
"Yeah."
"Well,I'm moving back soon,"
"What do you mean by soon?"
"One week."
"You live far away?"
"Four hours."
"So what are you saying?"
"I don't know. Maybe that I won't see you much anymore. I mean we can skype but-"
"So we're breaking up."
"No,I just wanted to tell you. I mean,come on it's us,we can make it as a good relationship,can't we? And you can always visit. And I'll do the same thing."
"Okay we can make it work. It's you it'll work."
"Yes." She leans in and kisses me for a long time.

She's leaving in a week. And without her I'm nothing.
