Moving in with the Griers

Chapter 17

I look at Nash with loving eyes as he does the same. We get interrupted by my phone ringing so I pick it up

"Hello?" I ask

"Em, hey. it's georgia" she says sniffling

"Hey what's wrong. What has cam done I'll kill him for you!" I say to her with a small chuckle

"No, no he's done nothing wrong. Um it's something else" she says and I can tell she's trying not to cry

"What's happened. why are you about to break down bae?" I say my eyes now darting to the ground

"Britt. she's gone"

"Wha- what do you mean?" I say as tears form in my eyes

"She gone Em. Brittney died this morning. She was in a crash" she says crying.
I feel the phone slide out of my hands and hit the floor, everything else seems so dream-like, tears flood from my eyes and I drop to the ground screaming

"NOOOO" I scream as Nash holds me into his chest his hand holding my head

"No, no, no, she can't she can't be gone!" I yell as Hayes runs in the room with Elizabeth hot on his tail.

"What happened sweety?" She asks in a mothering way

"Brittney! She's gone, she's gone" I yell crying as I get up and tackle Elizabeth in a hug sobbing

"She can't be dead no! No!" I yell as Elizabeth hugs me like my mum used to

"Shhh it's ok, it's ok" she soothes

"No no it's not, she was like my little adorable sister in a way and and now she's gone and she can't do what she always wanted to do" I scream tears flooding down my cheeks once again

"What did she want to be Hun?" Elizabeth asks me as I let go of her and look at everyone

"We made a promise about when I get married where she can be my flower girl cause she was so so small" I say as I cry. "She never got to be my little flower girl" I sniffle and I tackle Hayes in a hug with him swaying us.

"She will always be your flower girl Em. From up above us" he softly speaks

"She will Em. I promise you that" Nash adds looking at me with emotion I don't quite understand.

"Promise?"

"I promise" he speaks as I give him a hug.

*2 weeks later*

Today is the day of brittney's funeral. Nash, Hayes and I got a plane back to Australia much to Elizabeth's protests but in the end she gave in. We land and are greeted by hundreds of fans screaming. We hurriedly walk to the car and drive to becca's house where we will be staying for a few days. When I get out the car becca and Georgia tackle me to the ground as I laugh at their efforts of expressing emotion.

"Hey guys" I say with a little smile

"Hey" becca says as Georgia decides to open up her big mouth. ((Georgia if you are reading this, I love you and plz don't kill meh😂))

"How are you taking it" she asks as my weak Smile fades.

"Yeah ok. You?"

"Ok I guess. I miss her though. We all do"

"Yeah. She was always so silly it was hilarious" I laugh at the memories of Britt being so silly.

>>2 hours later<<

We all arrive at the ceremony and I get to see all my friends I had left for America. Reneya came because she is devastated about Britt too.

"Brittany was an amazing friend, daughter, and sister to everyone she met, she was outgoing and action packed in her tiny little body of hers and we lost her way too soon. We may never get to touch or embrace her in a hug again for a while but she will want us to be strong and keep going for her. we love you Brittany and we are all praying you made a safe trip up to heaven" the adjudicator spoke looking at everyone with sad eyes. "It was Brittany's final wish for her friend Emily to speak at her funeral so please come up here Emily Paul" he says gesturing towards me. My heart freezes as I realise that I don't remember being asked to do this so slowly stand up and shakily pull myself together so I can speak in front of her loved ones.
