Eden Hall love story~ Adam Banks

Funeral

Today was the day of the funeral. The last few days have been really hard. My parents came home though. They asked the Banks family and Casey if I can stay there when they need to go back filming. They both said yes. It's nice but I didn't want to leave my house. I just wanted to stay, on my own. I needed alone time.

I sat on the couch in my room. I didn't want to change. I didn't want today to happen. I needed to say goodbye to my grandpa, forever.

My mom came to my room with the dress we bought for the funeral. "Here, put it on. We have to go soon." she said.

"I don't wanna go. I don't wanna say goodbye to him." my eyes started to tear.

She wrapped her arms around me. "I know it's hard honey but, you need to be there. For us, for the team, for Adam, and, for Hans. He'd want you to come."

She was right. I needed to be there for everyone. Especially for Charlie and my parents.

We were ready so we drove to the cemetery. Everyone was already there, even Bombay. The team and him stood on the other side of the coffin. I stood with my parents and other family. No one of my family lives in Minnesota.

My parents both had a speech. I had one too but I couldn't say it. I'd cry and no one would understand me.

Bombay stepped forward. He held Hans his jersey. Charlie looked angry at him.

"Excuse me, one second." he stepped to the coffin and laid the jersey on it. "Every time you touch the ice, remember it was Hans who thought us to fly." he said.

I gave him a sad smile. He did the same. I looked over to the team. Everyone was crying. Hans wasn't only my grandpa, he was a grandpa for all of us. To the old and the new ducks.

I saw Adam looking at me. Both of his parents stood behind him, holding each other. I'm glad they act normal to each other.

Looking around, I saw everyone crying and I couldn't take it anymore so I ran off. I felt everyone looking at me but I didn't care. Charlie followed me.

I stopped running and sat down on a bench in the cemetery. Charlie walked to me and also sat down. Without saying anything he wrapped me into a tight hug. For 2 minutes we just sat there, hugging each other. I think it hurts Charlie as much as it hurts me. He came over almost every day.

I pulled away from him. "I'm sorry..." he sobbed.

"What are you sorry for Char?" i asked him.

"That I wasn't there for you when you found him." he looked at me.

"Char no. Don't say that. you didn't know that something like this was going to happen."

He didn't say anything. I saw the team standing behind us. I stood up and ran to Adam. He hugged me tight while we both cried. I pulled away and hugged the rest of the team.

"Thank you guys for coming. I know Hans was a grandpa to all of you." I said. They all smiled at me.

"You guys wanna get a milkshake?" Charlie asked.

We sat at Mickey's. It was quiet but it felt nice. Adam had his arm wrapped around me and I held Charlies hand.

"Do you guys remember when we were in the pee-wees, we went to shop at Hans his shop and the whole shop was a mess after that?" Fulton asked.

I smiled. "Yeah. That was the day you joined the team." I said to Fulton.

From that moment, everybody started telling story's and memories with Hans. It was nice to hear what Hans was to everyone.

"Uhm I think I'm gonna go home guys. My parents are leaving again tonight so..." I said.

"I'll walk you home." Adam stood up.

I said goodbye to everyone and me and Adam walked home. We didn't say much. We just walked. Arrived at home, we kissed goodbye and I went inside. My parents bags were already packed. I'm gonna miss them, but I know they need to film the series. It's the last season so they're done soon.

"You sure you don't wanna go with us?" my mom asked.

"Yes mom, I'm sure. I have the team here, I have Casey and I have the Banksies. I'm gonna be alright. Besides, you guys are almost done filming so I'll see you soon." I gave her a hug.

"You're strong honey." my dad said. I hugged him too. "We have to go now." dad said.

They walked to the taxi. "Call us whenever, okay?" my mom started tearing up.

"Of course I'll call you. Now go, before we all start to cry again." I waved them goodbye and got inside. I sat down at the chair where grandpa always sat. Then, the door opened. It was Adam, of course.

"Hey Ki, I just came to check on you." he said.

"You don't have to check on me. I'm fine." I scoffed.

"Wow wow wow. Did I do something wrong?" he asked.

"No. Just don't ask the whole time how I'm doing, it's annoying. I'm fine. Actually, I'm pretty fucking good." while saying that, I broke down. Adam ran to me and grabbed me before I fell down to the ground.

"I'm sorry. I'm just don't know what to do."

"It's okay Ki. You just lost someone you loved. It's okay to be mad and sad. Come on, we're going to my house." he took my hand and we walked to his house. I hugged with his mom and dad before we got upstairs.

"I'll go get towels so you can shower." Adam walked to his room while I walked to the bathroom. I showered and changed into Adam's clothes.

We got in bed and cuddled. "Thank you Adam, for everything. I love you."

"I love you too."
