Half way into the next day, the funeral for Danny's Granddad had taken place and they were at the wake. It was 3:30pm.

Tulisa: Come on Dan, you have to eat something?

Danny: I don't want anything. If I did, I'd eat it.

Danny's Mum: Oi, don't take it out on her! She's trying to help! She's right, you have to keep your strength up!

Danny: *shouting* WHY WON'T ANY OF YOU UNDERSTAND? I DO NOT WANT ANY FUCKING FOOD! FUCK OFF AND LEAVE ME ALONE, THE LOT OF YOU!

Tulisa: Wow, erm that's us told then.

Danny's Mum: He'll calm down, you'll see that.

Tulisa: All I was trying to do is help him.

Danny's Mum: I know.

Danny's Dad: Where's he gone?

Danny's Mum: Didn't you hear him shouting?

Danny's Dad: No.

Danny's Mum: He shouted at poor Tulisa who was trying to help him and get him to eat something.

Danny's Dad: He'll calm down, he'll be fine.

Tulisa: I've never known him like that though.

Danny's Mum: I must admit, it does take a lot for him to get like this.

Tulisa: I'm gonna go and look for him. I need to know he hasn't done anything stupid.

Danny's Mum: Do you want me to come?

Tulisa: No, I'll let you know if I see him.

Danny's Mum: Alright then Tulisa.

An hour or so later, she finds him sat in the graveyard by himself. He's sat on the ground crying.

Tulisa: Danny?

Danny: Just leave me alone.

Tulisa: I just wanna help.

Danny; Yeah and you can do that by leaving me alone.

Tulisa: I know what it's like you know.

Danny: What, what's like?

Tulisa: When you lose someone you love and care about.

Danny: No you don't. You haven''t got the slightest idea.

Tulisa: My uncle died a few years back.

Danny: And?

Tulisa: He was more like my Dad so don't you dare think I haven't got a clue what the hell you're going through!

Danny: You OK?

Tulisa: Yeah. It still affects me but I try not to let it get to me too much.

Danny: How did you cope with it?

Tulisa: By being me and shutting everyone off for a few weeks.

Danny: Does it ever get any easier?

Tulisa: No, you learn to live with it but it doesn't make it any easier.
