Chapter 12

FUNERAL DAY!

MADI' POV

I look at myself in the mirror. I was dressed for my dad's funeral. I didn't even get to see my dad before he died. Madi are you ready?
Matt asked. I shook my head no. Madi everything is gonna be okay, he said coming and holding my hands in his. Okay, I whispered. Okay now let's go, do you have your speech ready? He asked. Yes, I said. Okay let's go, Matt said. We walked out into the limo and pulled out the drive way.

~At the church~

We sat and the preacher talked. A couple of my dads friends did. And then it was my turn. Are you ready? Matt asked me. Yes I am, I said. I walked up to the aisle. I got behind the podium and grabbed the mic. I took a deep breathe not wanting to cry. I looked at my paper. I crumbled it in. Time to speak from the heart.

Dad where do I even start. You always said that the day I was born you knew you would love me no matter what. You have always loved me so much. And I love you. I love how we always went to football games and played in the rain together. I loved every moment of life we had together. It meant the world to me. But now your not here. But I hope one day to see you. You always smiled even when things weren't going right. You always knew exactly what to say. You were the best dad I could ask for. And I can't thank you enough. I just wish I could of had more time. But I know I cannot change that. I love you daddy.......

I walked off the stage by the time I was done I was crying hard. It was like the ocean was flooding out of my eyes. I went and sat by Matt as they carried his body out. I just can't get it in my mind that he is actually gone.

My friend Taylor walked up to me. Madi when I heard I felt so bad, she said. Don't be it's not your fault, I said. I know I love you Madi, she said. Love you to Taylor let me get your number so we can text, I said crying a little. I got her phone and put my number in then hugged her. We walked out and got in the car riding off to the graveyard in silence.

~At the Graveyard~

People said words and threw there handful of dirt. I picked up a handful of dirt and whispered, I love you daddy. I always will no matter what. Then I thew it letting a tear go down my face. I'm never cried this much in my life. I walked back to the car. Matt got in. Princess you okay? He asked. Then I broke down. Crying. I was a mess. He put his arm around me. No! I'm not okay! I said.

Princess it's going to get better, Matt said. Can we just go home? I asked. Yeah, he said. We rode in silence. Do you ever have that feeling where your world is crashing down? Where you feel so terrible that nothin can fix it? Where no matter what you can't feel any better? That's me. That's what is happening right now. We pulled up at the house and I got out the car. Matt and me walked up to the door.

He put in the code and I went upstairs. Madi wait! Matt called but I kept walking. I went in my room and sat on the bed crying. Seconds later Matt came in. Shhh princess, shhh everything is gonna be okay, he said. I put my head in his chest while he played with my hair. After a couple of minutes I stopped crying. My makeup was everywhere. I'm gonna changed, I said to Matt. Okay I'll be downstairs cooking lunch, he said kissing my forehead.

I changed in to some comfy clothes. (Above) I went into the bathroom and washed my makeup off. Then I put my hair in a messy bun. I grabbed my phone and went downstairs. I laid on the couch. I heard talking in the kitchen. It sounded like Matt and some other people. I peeked around the corner. It was Matt, Nate, Nash, and Cameron, What are they doing here?

C-Cameron N-Nate NG- Nash M-Matt

C- How are you gonna keep her safe man?

N- Yeah them people are looking for her everywhere!

NG- You have to do something Matt!

M- I know, I have the places surrounded by body guards but I can't keep her locked up forever!

C- We have to catch the guys.

Then I walked in. What is all the damn talk about? I asked. Madi you weren't suppose to hear any of that! Matt said. Well I did, I said. Madi I'm only trying to keep you safe, Matt said. Well you have to tell me this stuff, you can't just keep it to yourself forever! I said. I was going to tell you but I didn't want to overwhelm you, Matt said. Okay, I said looking down. I thought we broke you from that, Matt said picking my chin up and hugging me. Guys, I'll talk to you later, Matt said.

Okay bye! They all said. Matt are they coming for me? I asked. I'm not gonna let them, Matt said. Thank you Matt, I said. For what? He asked. For everything, for taking care of me, comforting me, for everything! I said. No need to thank me, I'm glad I got to know you or I wouldn't have met my beautiful girlfriend, Matt said. I smiled. I'm so sorry about your dad, Matt said. It's okay not your fault, you couldn't stop that, I said.

Can we go take a nap? I asked. Yes we can, Matt said picking me up bridal style. He brought me upstairs and laid me down. He went and put some sweats on then came and laid down. Go to sleep princess, he said. He stroked my hair and my eyes started to get heavy. Then the next thing I knew I was asleep. The last thing in my mind was..
