Stronger-The Funeral

I dont really wish to say much about the funeral as everyone can guess it was a painful time. The family felt like they had been ripped apart. Before Kyles body was transferred into the coffin,I had a look at it for the last time. I had kissed this boy who was now nothing but a souless body and I had liked this boy. I look at his beautiful features one last time but now they all seem lifeless.. but then again that is what they are. His lips have gone grey and his skin seems to be paler then usual. I kiss my hand and press it onto his forehead.  Sixteen years..thats all this  boy had lived. It killed that he was loved by so many yet God had other ways.

Carl entered the churchall being supported by his mother while his father on the other side kept hold of Kyle's mother,he looks distraught. Kyle's mother looks small and weak as if she could keel over any minute. His father is silently crying. Me and Zara are holding each other,too scared to cry as we still feel shocked. It was too quick,we dident see it coming. Once we were all seated the preist says how much Kyle will be missed  and soon everyone is up sharing their memories with Kyle. It's Carl's turn.He stands up and straightens his tie,he looks as if he will break down any minute and I want to be up their with him supporting him. But instead Zara gets up,holds his hand and together they walk up. Some people in the crowd say "Aww" and I feel smaller then ever.

"My brother was loved by everyone,he was loved by me more than I could ever show. All siblings fight but in our case it was like we were forced to fight because of our stinking pride. Before he died he said something to me and I will keep it in mind." He suddenly looks me straight in the eye."He told me to look after some people and finish of some unfinished buisness,this I will." He goes silent and walks of with Zara supporting him. I wonder why he looked at me..had Kyle told him what he said to me? 

Before we all know it ,the coffin is being lowered into the ground and we are all weeping. Carl does not cry. Soon days pass as if this was a forgotten nightmare...
