All I Need Is You

In Our Heart

Gio's funeral is today. The Russians in no sight luckily. I was in my room most of the time. Domenico hasn't looked at me since that night. I can't imagine how hard this must be for him. I want to be there to support him but when I got close to him he left right away. I also wrote my speech for the funeral. I get dressed in a black dress and walked out of the my room.
I'm blaming myself because of Gio's death. I was supposed to hit the bullet not him. The guilt inside of me terrible. There wasn't a day I didn't think about it. A car was already waited for me. I got in and it was empty. The drive was quick since the funeral will be at the Italian Mafia cemetery.

I get out and see a big church. Me and a guard slowly head inside and there are a lot of men sitting inside and standing outside. I see Domenico and the boys sitting in the front. I walk toward the coffin at the middle. Gio's body laying there. His eyes are close just like that night. I feel a tear escap from my eyes, then I turn around and walk to the back to sit down. The priest come out from the back and start his speech. After the speech Domenico stood up and went next to the coffin and start to speak into the microphone.

-"We lost a very talented, funny, joyful, honest, amazing man. He was our friend, our family member, our sibling. He was always there for anybody who was on the low. He never was selfish never. He always put others first never himself, but he deserved to be the first one. He deserved a loving wife and childrens with a happy life without the cruel face of this world. He was my most trusted friend. Fuck. He was my brother my little brother. Gio never killed somebody without a reason. Giovanni was and will be an amazing man no matter what."- Domenico say with sobbs. I feel tears pouring out of my eyes but I put myself together and watch as he walk down. The priest wave to me and I walk towards the coffin again. All you could hear my heels click on the marble floor. I stand in front of the microphone and start without looking at my speech.

-Gio jumped infront of me to take the bullet that night. When I first met him he was friendly and welcoming too. He always knew how to make me smile or put me in a better mood. We often watched friends together. He always laughed his ass of on the little jokes. He was my other big brother, who gave me the best advances and teached me to always see in people the light. I'm supposed to be lying there right now because he deserved to live, he deserved to be happy. Giovanni never will be forgotten. He will live in our heart till the world ends."-I turn toward the coffin and whisper. -"Make the devil laugh his ass off please. Soon we will meet again." - And with that I turn around and look over to Domenico and see a single tear escape from his eye. He's looking at me while I'm walking back to the back seats.
