Stay with me

Life will never be the same here I am sitting in the front row of my gay best friends funeral how he died suicide and the way he did it no one will tell me. sitting there listening to stories of Brent made me remember all the good and bad days we had together until the stories stopped and I went up to say the story that will shock or make people laugh.

So I walked up to the microphone stood their then started my speech
"Hello everybody I'm Danni I am Brent's best friend ok so I'm wondering where is the music cause I was told to play anaconda but ill do it in the end.
So it all started with me walking off my bus 6 years ago from boarding school to see this boy sitting in a tree crying so I'm over by the bus thinking what the fuck so I grab my bag and walk over to the tree.
Hello up there I said
And I got back a what do you want ,
Oh well I was wondering are you ok and he said no and I said do you wanna tell me about it
So he said yeah so he got out of the tree and sat next to me" I said remembering that day like it was yesterday.

"When he sat down he told me everything and when he said he was gay he asked does that bother you i thought and and then said yes that people bully you but then no cause you're still human and your my best friend. and from that day we became best friends we did everything together like get tattoos and piercing and sleepovers and other stuff
But when he called me one night saying that he couldn't take the bullying anymore I told him to come over to my place before he came over I got him a early birthday present a puppy named north. when he got to my place he saw her and said omfg danni what the hell falling to his knees picking her up and then he whispered north" I said looking down at my hands then at the coffin.

"Well two weeks later and two days ago he committed suicide I spent the two days crying and trying to contact his boyfriend but never got to him until two hours ago and I know that he will never be happy again so thank you and people are people and they all have something to say" I say coming down to go sit with my mum and dad.

When it ended I walked out of the building to a bench that was out side when I sat down that's when I let the tears fall until I saw someone come up to me but I didn't notice who it was.
"Hey Danni" I heard and it took me a while to recognise that voice
"Jake I'm so sorry" I said to Brent's boyfriend jake who I've known for at least two years
"It's ok but are you ok" he said looking at with tears threatening to fall
"I...I...I don't really know but are you okay" I said looking up at him
"No my boyfriend committed suicide and I don't know what to say " he says crying and leaning his head on my shoulder .
