Few days later: Day before birthday-

Wensday.May.14.2025

My room

Haley's pov

I have been in my room for about four days. I barely eat. But still keep my strength, I'm not celebrating my birthday. And also, blah blah few more survivors. No wounds or anything. That's a good sign. But, we are planning on I guess half burying- but giving her a proper funeral. It is going to kill me. And it has been eating me alive. 

Downstairs

" I see my gremlin has finally awakened." I faked a smile, " morning baby." He kissed me, " how are you feeling?" I sighed, " can I lie?" He looked at me, " I feel like hell. Once again death has taken a shot at me. And this time hit me with an open wound."

He hugged me, and I shed a few tears. " it's not fair." I cried more, He just held me in his arms, and that calmed me.

Outside

Seeing her in the casket, it broke me. I bit my tongue till it bled, shedding a few tears. " rest in peace old friend."

Ceremony

I sighed, most came outside, " thanks guys, but you didn't have to be here?" " we wanted to. Granted we may not have known her. But, from the way you described her." " and from a short amount of time." " She was sweet, kind, caring and strong. The least we can do is pay our respects." I sighed, " thank you." I just wish it was on better terms to say goodbye.

Last respects

" to a dear friend, liliana was the first to welcome me to town. And welcome me to the fun of a friendship. She was a dear friend, and a sister to me. She has been there for me through thick and thin. And joined the ride to hell and back. I can't thank her enough for it. I just wish it didn't have to be like this though.
