Rehab Facility

The day.

April

Been in this bed for the past couple of days people come in and out the house to check on me but I don't respond and today is the day of the funeral. Chris would only respond to them for me because he knows I don't want to talk to them, they don't know how it feels.

"Baby" he said softly patting my thigh. "Get up and get ready the limousine will be here soon to take us to the church."

I nodded as he walked off into the closet picking out his suit. I sat up placing my feet on the ground looking out the window as it rained lightly and I sighed. "This ain't making it no better" I said to myself

"What baby?" He yelled from the closet.

"Nothing babe, nothing" I said getting up going to where he was turning to my side of the closet picking out my black dress for today. I just stared at it the two in front of me trying to choose as Chris came up behind me wrapping his arms around my waist.

"I like the second one" he said pointing to it.

"Me too" I responded. "I'll go with that"

"April I know you going through some shit right now but I promise Imma make it up to you. And we all know Ron deserves justice and I'll handle that" I swallowed the lump in my throat listening to him. "Baby I need you to be happy again for me, I miss you smiling and laughing at my corny jokes I just need you back when everything simmers down. I-.. I love you April, I know that it maybe too soon but I do" I turn around looking up to him smiling with tears in my eyes.

"Chris I love you too" I smiled standing on my tippy toes kissing him as he pulled me closer.

We stopped kissing as he placed his forehead on mines looking in my eyes "Don't ever leave me okay? No matter what happens"

"I promise, and don't ever hurt me"

"I won't, you know I won't" I nodded pecking his lips. "Let's get in this shower and get ready though" he pulled away grabbing his suit and my dress walking into the room as I went into the bathroom stripping down turning on the shower getting in grabbing a wash cloth. Minutes later Chris came in after me doing the same as we washed.

After that we were finished getting dressed but I was still doing my makeup. "April pls baby the limo is outside" I fanned him off finishing my make up, grabbing my purse and walked out the house.

"You happy?" I said as the driver kept his head down opening the door for us.

"Ecstatic" he responded being a smart ass saying thank you to the man getting in as the door closed.

"I hate funerals" I sighed looking at him.

"Same but he would want us to be there for him, especially since we put this together" Chris said.

"I hope his dad show up like he said he would"

"Me too" he pulled me close to him as the limo drove off.

Once we got there we greeted a few of his family members from New Orleans, they were so sweet.

"I'm glad you had a real friend up here in Cali, thank you for keeping an eye on my lil cousin" he half smiled.

"No problem Brandon, seriously. You was he favorite he always mentioned you" his smiled got a little bigger.

"Wow I never knew that, thank you again. I'll see you in there" I nodded watching him walk in the church as Paris, Lena and Keri came up to me as we talked for a little bit but Paris barely said anything.

"You okay P?" I asked looking at her.

She pulled me to the side "When me and Ron was messing around we actually got close, he told me to give you this if something ever happened to him" she handed me an envelope. "He said read it when you are alone and down okay?" I nodded looking at it as she sniffled a bit.
