Rebecca's POV
One week later...............................
"We are here gathered today to attend Tiara Johnson's Funeral. She was loved by many, many, many people."
As the preacher was preaching, I was in my own little world, just thinking back when I was little and how my mama took good care of me even though she struggled. When the preacher got done, I walked to the stadium and looked at everybody, not saying anything. I fell down crying, and Bradley came up there and tried to calm me down, but I couldn't.
"Why did she had to go!!?", I said, crying still.
"It's going to be alright, Rebecca. Calm down and just say your few words."
"Okay, but you have to promise me you'll be here for me and your daughter Bradley."
"I promise, girl."
"Okay."
Bradley helped me up and gave me a kiss on the cheek and went back to his seat. Tiffany got mad and stood up yelling and cussing him out for kissing me. Everybody gasped and looked at Tiffany like she was crazy. Bradley got so irated, and got up and said something that hurt Tiffany and made Mark mad.
"Girl, will you shut up with all that screaming and cussing for God sakes. We are at a freaking funeral in church! Tiffany, you act like I didn't hear you and Mark's conversation at the family reunion. Ha-ha, girl, sit yo butt down and show some respect, because if this was your mama's funeral and Rebecca would've acted like that, you would've beat her tail. Tiffany its over, I'm done, been done, never wanted you, never will want you, 'bout uglier than a mug, used you, and do I have to go on? The person I really want is Rebecca Marie Johnson, and I love her."
Everybody said,"Awe." Except for Mark and Tiffany. I got down, ran to Bradley and hugged him. What he said made my day and Mama wants me to be happy. Bradley hugged me back and got down on one knee. It couldn't be. Was he really going to propose to me at my mother's funeral?
"Rebecca Marie Johnson, will you marry me?"
"Mommy, say yes!!"
"I was, gosh, Mariah, and yes, Bradley, I'll marry you."
Tiffany bust into tears, and Mark left. I went back to the stadium and said my few words.
"My mother, Tiara Johnson, was an amazing mother to me. She took me in and took care of me, helped me out with things, and even stayed by my side through thick and then. I will never forget about her. Even though she wasn't my real mommy, she'll always be My Mom in My Heart. Tiara wants me to be happy, and I am happy. I'm not going to disappoint my mother. Tiara Nicole Johnson will be dearly missed."
Everybody clapped their hands and smiled. I smiled at Mariah and Bradley and ran straight to them. I have a wonderful family now.
