━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

IT WAS THE DAY of will's funeral, everyone got together for this occasion. octavia stood behind dustin with her hands resting on his shoulders. the speeches everyone had been saying made octavia emotional. whenever she teared up she would hold on to dustin tighter as he felt the same way.

it was now after the memorial, so octavia made her way over to joyce and jonathan. karen and ted were over talking to the father, so she decided to accompany joyce. "hi, honey."

"i'm so sorry." octavia tells joyce. joyce buried her head into octavia's shoulder. joyce was like a second mother to octavia, just like will was a second brother. joyce pulled away as octavia's heart sank at her saddened state. octavia rummaged through her bag. "oh, that reminds me, i wanted to give this to you." she placed a polaroid picture into the mother's hand. the picture took place on christmas eve, for they always spent the day together. a group of people were huddling together in the picture, with joyce and will in the front.

joyce smiled at the picture as tears began to stream. "thank you sweetie." octavia noticed the awkward stance jonathan was in, so she decided to talk to him.

"hi, johnny." octavia says as she pulls him into a hug. the whole picture incident was put behind them. jonathan and octavia were always close but drifted apart. they would always babysit the four boys together. "i'm sorry about will."

jonathan found comfort in the hug. it was good to know that he didn't lose a friend. "i'll get over it."

as everyone started leaving, she saw dustin motion her over. "take care, jonathan."

octavia was now at nancy's house. she pulled up in the driveway, only to see steve leaving it. once steve was out of sight, she got out of the car. "hi, nance."

nancy smiled as she saw octavia coming closer. "look, i'm sorry for what i said." nancy apologized. "it was so wrong for me to say, i do  what had gotten into me."

"nancy, it's okay." octavia confirms. "i understand your side of the story."

nancy gratefully smiled at this, being grateful her best friend forgave her. "um, i've been meaning to tell you something."

"yeah, me too." octavia breathed out.

"so basically, me and jonathan have been talking." octavia's eyes had gone wide from this. since when were they friends? octavia's facial expressions gave nancy the idea to continue. "i-will is alive." octavia opened her mouth, but nothing came out. "there's this thing- we think it took will."
