(Day of funeral)
Josh's POV
Today is the day. Today is the day that I say goodbye to Colleen, forever. Well the last time I see her body. That's because she's getting cremated, so she can be with me forever.
I get on my black tuxedo, comb my hair up, and put some tissues in my pocket. I know I will need them today.
I walk out of my bathroom, and I pass by a picture if Colleen and I. It's from our engagement photo shoot. Wow. She looks beautiful. I shake my head and walk out the door.
I arrive at the memorial center, and the whole family is in the audience.
I take my seat upfront, and I look at colleens casket. It's like a fancy wood, with a bunch of flowers on it.
"Good evening everyone. Today we are here to celebrate the life of Colleen Mae Ballinger Evans. She was a wonderful woman. Full of laughter, Happiness, and pure Joy. Now before we get started, I have a few family member who would like to say something." The priest looks at me "Joshua."
I nod my head
I get up on the podium, and I see everyone dressed in black.
"First I'd like to say how grateful I am for such a wonderful family. Thank you all for showing up. Now as you all know, Colleen passed from a tumor. It was so sudden, and so upsetting. She made my day happier. She was just such a happy person. I remember when we first met. I remember when we first said I Love You." I start to tear up.
"I-I remember when we first said goodbye." I take a step away from the mic. I take a deep breath, but I sit down because I could say anymore. I'm just terribly depressed now that she's gone.
(1 hour later)
Almost everyone is gone. Except for me, Lily, Rachel, and Gwen. And also the priest.
"Ballinger Evans family?" He says
I turn around.
"Would you like to see Colleen?" He asks.
"Yes." I say. Not really sure how I feel about it.
We all walk over to the casket and the priest opens the lid. There she is. My beautiful wife.
They dressed her in a blue dress, and she looks like she's sleeping.
A flashback plays in my head
***flashback***
Colleens POV
Today is the day. I will officially be Colleen Mae Evans. I have about 3 hours until the wedding, and I have a professional hair stylist doing my hair. I go on twitter, and I see that everyone is so excited for the wedding. I make a tweet and say "@joshuadtown ready for our lips to be smooched and have our love forever?😘💍" Josh instantly replies saying "@Colleenb123 I've been ready since the day I met you❤️" aww, he's so sweet! The lady finishes my hair, now it's time for the make up. She applies mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, eyebrow coloring pencil, blush, cover up, and lipstick. I put on my dress and my family walks in.
"You ready for this?" My mom asks.
"I've been ready mom." I say.
"You look beautiful baby sis!" Chris says
"Thanks dougie." I say.
"It's about time you're Mrs. Teacow Colleen." Trent says.
I laugh "thanks Trent!"
Rachel walks in wearing sunglasses
"Yo yo yo party people!" She says.
She takes off her glasses and looks at me.
"COLLEEN!" She says with excitement, she runs up to me and hugs me.
"Hey Rachel!" I say.
Bailey and Jacob come in and hug me.
"Auntie Panties you look very pretty!" Bailey says.
"Thank you Bailey boo!" I say back to her.
Parker comes in wearing a little tux.
"Aww, hi Parker bug!" I say. He giggles.
"Alright Colleen, we gotta go get our outfits on." My mom says.
Josh's POV
I see a limo pull up. Everyone stands up, and a beautiful woman comes out of the limo. She walks down the isle, holding Tim's arm. Colleen stops in front of me, and we make direct eye contact the entire time. We completely tune out the priest.
"Joshua David Evans, do you take Colleen Mae Ballinger to be your lovely wedded wife?"
"I do."
"Colleen Mae Ballinger, do you take Joshua David Evans to be your wonderful husband?"
She hesitates.
"I-I do."
"I NOW PRONOUNCE YOU HUSBAND AND WIFE!" Colleen and I press out lips together for what seems like a life time.
***flashback over***
"Josh?" Rachel says.
"Yeah?" I say shaking my head
"You ok there?"
"Oh uh, yeah I'm good. Just thought of something."
"It's time to close the lid." The priest says.
"C-Can I kiss her? One last time?" I say
"By all means, yes! go right ahead!" He says
I bend over, and kiss her pink, smooth lips. I feel a huge spark! One that I've never felt before. I pull away.
"I guess this is it." I say running my hand over Colleens cheek.
The lid closes, and we all leave the church. Before we walk out the door, I turn around and wave goodbye to the casket.
I don't think I'll ever love someone again.
