Chapter 30 - Always and Forever

Mason's POV

I walked into the building where the funeral was held—mixed emotions filled me as I walked towards the front with Brooke and Eamon to sit. My eyes stare at the coffin the whole time trying not to believe that Mila is actually in that. It still hasn't processed to me that Mila is gone and that a part of me still reckons that she is out there roaming around down at our spot or at the ice skating rink where I taught her how to keep her balance but that's just reality. Before the ceremony started I stared out the window at the beautiful garden that surrounded the outside of the building. 

"Ahem," The microphone went turning my attention to the speaker. 

"Today we gather for the ceremony of Mila Ramiez" The speaker went on. 

The speaker went on with an introduction before going into more about Mila. At this point, I was on the verge of tears but tried hard to keep them in. 

"Mila was a cheerleader, an actress, a model, and most of all a friend along with a family member. Today we reflect and say our goodbyes to Mila before the burial ceremony that takes place after the funeral" The speaker went on. 

Everyone said their speeches which to me wasn't ideal as I wanted to get mine over and done with before everyone else talked about their stories with Mila. I tried hard to keep it in before I spoke but it all just went. Tears flowed down my cheeks uncontrollably. As I thought I couldn't cry much anymore. It happened in a matter of minutes before I realized the top of my shoulders were soaked from the tears. I faced outside to the beautiful garden trying to distract myself and block out the words that other people were saying but still trying to get my mind off things It always leads back to Mila and memories of us. It's like even when I try and fall asleep her face is the last thing I think of when I fall asleep and the first thing when I wake up and my biggest worry is that it's gonna be like that for months when thinking of her hurts the most but I know that when those couple of months past the thoughts of her will make me smile and I will hold on to that. 

I turned my attention back to the speaker trying to do anything to distract me from the thoughts but nothing helped. I wasn't handling as well as I thought I would considering I had about a week's worth to prepare. I ended up storming out halfway through a speech from one of Mila's cheerleading friends. I walked out and found a bench which I decided to sit on. It was in front of a beautiful water fountain containing ducks and swans which was able to keep me distracted from some thoughts. The fresh air was enough to dry my face from my tears but stung my eyes if I didn't blink that much. I ended up getting so distracted the the ceremony finished and only realized when I heard Brooke call out my name. Fuck I forgot my speech. I sat there in panic not giving the full send-off that I hoped for. I couldn't help but cry from anger and disappointment in not saying something and completely working out something that was about me. I was so selfish. 

Eamon's POV

Brooke, Mason, and I drove over to the place where Mila was going to get buried. Even though she never talked about what happens when she dies I decided when I need a place to get away I could always come to the grave and have a chat with her. We stood there as we watched Mila get placed on a machine where it gets lowered down so the coffin is fully submerged underground. Mason threw in some flowers and Mila's favorite stuffed animal which made me tear up. I placed in some flowers with a special bracelet I gave her when I went away on a school trip and felt bad about leaving her considering our parents but she adored it when I gave it to her and always wore it since. 

I watched the coffin go down slowly. Holding Brooke's hand for comfort. Tears filled my eyes not wanting to see the last thing that she remained in gone but our memories and photos. I bailed as they chucked dirt on her coffin not unable to control the tears streaming down my face. I buried my head into Brooke's neck in pain. She was gone. That sentence replayed in my head over and over. She is never coming back Eamon. She is gone. 

Fast forward 2 months (Mason's POV)   

I sat watching the sunset. The same spot that Mila and I went to. This was our spot and forever will be just ours. I sat there smiling at the memories that we made here along with my favourite one asking her to be my girlfriend. I came here though to do one thing which I have been longing to do. The proper send off which I should've done at the funeral but I was being completely selfish. I have waited for this moment after I knew I could do this without getting tears in my eyes. I have kept the note that I have been longing to read. 

"Dear Mila. This wasn't the exact way I wanted it to plan out but here we are. Here I was hoping that we would be happy you have not only been by my side until you walked into my life but have been my best friend through it. Words can't describe how grateful I am for you and how you came into my life at the worst time but was able to change it around and be the best moments of my life that I would forever cherish. Our moments never failed to put a smile on my face and was able to turn the low moments into high moments just by your smile and your company. I hate to think that now only is memories and photos of you instead of yourself. I love you, Mila. Always and Forever" I spoke out loud to the ocean. 

I kissed the note and placed it gently in the ocean. 

"Goodbye Mila," I said before walking off.
