The Tragic Tales of Lynx Viatto...and maybe some other people

I will miss you my dear

CHAPTER 24

Lynx:

The funeral was set to be at 5 pm in St Jhon's chapel, the ceremony was short and simple, and the burial was to be held in 1 and a half hours. All eyes were on me as I walked towards the coffin to place my bouquet in Amber's hands, as I took a step back to leave, I decided to say my final goodbyes.

I had always thought my lack of attraction for Jack was because I merely disliked him, I never quite understood what Amber saw in him, but then I thought back to the last thing Amber had told me before she separated from me...lesbian. Sexuality wasn't a thing I considered, the little childhood even thinking about not being heterosexual was a sin, and I never really asked my father about it, so I had little information on the topic. Although I did know I had never felt any sort of attraction for any man I had ever met, instead I admired women the most. Their admirable patience, determination, and how some would have to take care of the whole home and not even complain about it. I had experienced a few years and many depicted women as mere house objects, and I had gained the strong conviction that women must be loved, being a woman myself and knowing I deserve the best. So I had never thought that my strong love for women was something more than admiration, but I knew myself, and I know that I had thought through it, I knew I had fallen in love with Amber.

I had been standing over the coffin in my own thoughts until I came back to my face flooded with tears and a glowing mark on Amber's wrist, I had no time to see what it was until I got dragged away from the coffin by my dad. As my father said his goodbyes I turned to start walking to the burial place, my father was right near me by the second and we kept walking towards the cemetery.

Jack:

I was only half awake when Amber's parents came to tell me she had died, I remembered clearly eating together and talking quietly...what happened?, I asked and all they told me was food poisoning. I really doubted that as the only food we ate was Lynx's and she would not poison her best friend, so in the few hours I had to take all the information in, I could come up with no explanation whatsoever. My emotions were pouring out all over my face and I could not stop them, I was hugged and patted on the back by many people, I was surprised to see Lynx and who I assumed was her dad, with a completely different attitude from mine. They were with emotionless expressions that looked almost scary with their black clothing, Lynx had turned her hair completely pink and I never saw any expression from her until she was standing right in front of Amber's coffin. Although if I knew Lynx, I knew that she definitely someone who wasn't about to cry in front of a crowd, and certainly a group hug was not her thing at all.
