"Never go near the waters, that's what my mom always says"
Stay with your family, boys are trouble, remember the stories, and never go to the ancient, love waters

"I never knew how words could change everything, how me and Heaven we're such examples for people that they had to follow behind pure madness and Ill intentions to make it seem as if they were right because we were the people to follow if anything went wrong, people fail to realize that one day you are here and one day you are gone, so doing what Jasmine and Michael did was basically a survival instinct because we all need love and Interaction, again, I am sorry to Heaven for beginning such a horrible ending and hope you can one day forgive me." I said as I got on the stand first because Ban was the pastor of course.
I constantly looked at Heaven as I left off the podium and went back to my seat in the front row of the church we built on this island, the men that were older than all of us were in the back, in their thirties and forties, all mothers are gone and fathers never had a chance, my grandmother was seated beside me as my mother was seated on the other side and of course this funeral my grandmother Savannah looked around in disgust not from the fact in general that Michael had died but that her daughter asked to be the teacher and she failed in her pursuit to make sure no young women killed any of the young men based on her teachings.
Heaven was in the front row with a white dress and her hair in a low ponytail as well but close to the end with her mother Ms. Johnson who had tears coming all down her face, Heaven was trying to remain strong for but this was all my fault, people could say Jasmine initiated the sin but I told Michael and he believed it, many other boys could have died over my messiness, Jasmine obviously wasn't here, I hoped somebody was in the house to make sure she didn't do anything to herself cause this time of pain hits hard when you can't be there to see your lover, my mom was crying harder than anyone, she knows this type of pain will never go away
I know Jasmine was getting talked bad about, but I knew from then on, the rules of walking with your parents would be enforced heavily every day and we would have to move on like nothing happened, I don't know what is going to happen to jasmine but hopefully people will forgive her
"Anyone else care to speak." Ban asked as he looked around at all the older ladies in the back to the warriors, I see every day in the middle with their mothers to Keisha who sat with her mother, Kianna and had the nerve to be agitated. Her mother should be embarrassed at the fact that her daughter was a part of this. I looked around and it was 7 to 10 children, 9 to 13 years old meaning it was a couple of years ago that people were still making this generational mistake, but you can't really blame them or anybody but if you were a part of it you have to be apologetic
"I'll speak." Leonardo said as she stood up from being seated with the warriors while his mom looked at him with shook written all over her face as he went up to the podium and I was looking at him hoping he didn't say anything stupid.
"Alright." Ban said as he stepped down to sit down next to my mother as my mother began to wipe her tears with some tissue and he wrapped his arm around the bench we all sat on like he was our comforter, I knew he liked my mother but if he knows what's good for him, he's better stay away. I knew this couldn't be right, could people mate again, and it'd be alright, this was just a bad dream and Michael wasn't dead but the dead silence in the room, the numbers appearing on his arm making us all gasp at the realness and truth of my mother's story was a scary experience to go through, the betrayal of our friends leaning on us as crutches to experience love was something I should have seen coming but everything is written in stone and this moment is real.
