My Happy Ending

Chapter 19

I was currently standing in front of the full length mirror putting in my diamond earrings. I was dressed in a simple black dress. I had gone out to purchase it since I didn’t have a black dress with me. The dress reached my knees, I had placed black stockings under my dress. My hair was naturally curly and I pulled it into a half up do. I kept my makeup simple. I used foundation, bronzer, eyeliner and mascara. I put on a light shade of pink lipstick and I was ready. At that moment Luke had come out of the bathroom adjusting his shirt. He had borrowed a tux from Aiden.

“Come here, let me fix it for you!” I say placing my hands to adjust his collar and neck tie.

“I hate funerals” I say sadly

“Me too.” Luke says placing a kiss on top of my forehead and hugged me.

“You guys ready?” Aiden says poking his head in through the door without knocking.

“Don’t you know how to knock?” I asked my brother

“You are lucky that I am allowing you to stay in one room!” Aiden says and walks away

We all filed into Aiden’s car and drove off.

Petra remained quite the whole way to the cemetery. When we arrived, we all got out of the car. She sat in the car for a good few minutes until Aiden opened the car door and softly spoke to her.

She got out of the car and Aiden wrapped his arm around her. We slowly joined the other people who were standing around a wooden casket. Luke and I stood a little towards the back, while Petra and Aiden had joined their friends at the front.

A lot of students had stood up and spoke about what a great person Sarah was. Petra also spoke but couldn’t continue because she broke down crying. The next person up on the stage was Sarah boyfriend. His words were heartfelt but his voice was so broken. He was broken inside and all he wanted was Sarah to be with him again. I immediately thought of losing Luke. I loved him with all my heart and if he was taken suddenly away from me, where would that leave me? Who am I without him? Luke entwined his fingers in mine and held my hand tightly. This is hard. After the ceremony was done everyone started walking back to their cars.

“Where’s Petra?” I asked Aiden

“With her squad. She will be here in a few” he says looking at his girlfriend

“She’s gonna be fine Aiden” I say

“I know she will, but I hate seeing her in pain like this!” Aiden says

“It is never easy watching your love be in pain” I say

“I wish I could take away the pain” he says frustrated.

“All you can do is be there for her!” I say

Petra was slowly approaching us. She was wearing black lace dress that reached the top of her ankles. She had on a black winter coat and her hair was let down in lose waves. She didn’t have an inch of makeup on but she looked gorgeous.
