Kylie's pov.

It's still hard to believe that Jai's dead.

I loved him.

All this time I was trying to make myself stop loving him, all this time I've been lying to myself. I loved him.

He was my first boyfriend. He was my first love. Yes, he cheated on me, but it was all a misunderstanding. I'm sure if he didn't think I was with Luke, he wouldn't have. I could tell he really loved me.

It's my turn to speak. I go to the podium.

"Jai meant a lot to me. He was my best friend. He was my first boyfriend; my first love. I could tell he loved me too. After we broke up he did a lot of bad things. He went away. But he came back. He tried to apologize for everything and make things better, but I made them worse. I pushed him away when he needed me most. Jai, if you're up there listening, I'm so sorry. Goodbye Jai. I love you and I always will. Always." By the time I'm done with my speech I am bawling my eyes out. I go to Luke and hug him tightly. He says it will be ok and he loves me. I'm so glad I still have him. I love him.

Luke's pov.

Kylie's speech made me tear up. I hate that she feels that way. I feel the same though. I feel as if I pushed Jai away, too. It's now my turn to talk. I get up on the podium, trying to fight back my tears.

"Jai was my brother.. my twin.. my other half. I don't know what it feels like to not be a twin. I guess I will now. Jai meant so much to me.. to all of us. He was the fun one. Whenever any of the boys or myself was having a shit day, he was always the one to make it better. He was so full of life. He always had so much energy. Beau, Mum, and I.. we love you Jai. We always will. I'm gonna miss you brother, and your sloth smile. I love you." Now I , as well as everyone else,  was bawling too.

I walk through the crowd of people surrounding Jai's coffin. They all either pat me on the back, give me a handshake, hug me, or say they're sorry. Don't get me wrong, it's nice and all, but I don't want or need sympathy.

I find Ky. She's still kinda worked up. I go to her and pull her into a hug. He holds on tight.

"Luke are you alright?" She says looking into my eyes.

"Yes, princess. Are you alright?" I ask her kissing her forehead.

"I am sure I will be when we leave. It's so sad to think that Jai is laying just over there in that coffin. He just looks like he's sleeping. I wish he was only sleeping." She buries her face into my chest and I feel her wet tears through my shirt.

I put my finger under her chin and lift her face so her eyes meet mine. She's so beautiful. Me and Jai were lucky to have her in our lives. I couldn't ask for anyone better, and I'm sure he'd say the same. He loved her and I knew it. But it couldn't help but compete with him. Who doesn't want a girl like her?

"Ky, my love, you don't need to feel guilt. Jai's death was not your fault, it wasn't my fault, it wasn't anyone's fault. You're killing me knowing you think that way baby. Please don't kill yourself with guilt. I don't want anything hurting you or making you feel this way. I love you so much." I smash my lips to hers and kiss her passionately for for a long time. We break away for a breath.
We see that they're beginning to lower Jai's casket. We walk over and stand next to the boys. They're eyes are all red and puffy from crying. I pat all of them on the back for comfort and they share a sad smile with me. 

They lower the casket and we all leave. Ky and I go back to her house and sleep. We just want this depressing day to be over.

*Week later*

Luke's pov.

Today's a special day.

Right now I'm on my way to pick up Kylie for a date. Is not an ordinary date.

For our date I told her to wear something really fancy. I myself am wearing a black suit... And a black snap back ;)

I arrive at Kylie's house.

Kylie's pov.

I'm ready for the date. I'm wearing a mid thigh  length tight black dress and black heels. I did smokey eyeshadow and eyeliner and mascara. I curled my hair and put it into a simple updo. I don't know why but I'm really nervous for this date. Why did he ask me to dress up so nice? The door bell rings.

Luke's pov.

I ring her door bell. I feel butterflies form in my stomach. My palms are starting to sweat. Pull yourself together ffs.

She opens the door and my jaw drops instantly. My beautiful Kylie. She looks gorgeous.

"You look so beautiful baby" I take her waist and pull her close and kiss her. When we break away I take her hand and lead her  to the car.

*At the restaurant*

Still Luke's pov.

This is it. You can do it Luke. Just ask her.

I pull the ring box out of my pocket and get on my knee.  She puts her hand over her mouth and she's tearing up.

"Kylie Hendrix. My love, my princess. I can't imagine my life without you in it. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Make me the happiest Aussie in the world and marry me baby." I'm tearing up now.

"L-luke. I-I- YES!" I stand up and she jumps into my arms. I spin her around and kiss her. She's mine forever.

Aw. :) The first pay was sad so I thought I'd make the second part happy. I ship Lylie so hard hah. Anyways I'll post the epilogue later. Until then. . Byee xx
