The Toretto-Ortiz

《25》Funeral

The weeks went by and Elli lived her life like nothing happend. Dont unterstand me wrong, she was very sad about her mother but she just showed no emotions and she stopped smiling at all. She cried only at night when she thought nobody could hear her or at the beach. She stopped talking to her friends and was often in her room or at the beach.

Today was Lettys funeral. Ella got a black dress out and put it on.

Right now she stood in the bathroom infront of the mirror. ,,You have to do that.. for mama", She whispered to herself and made her long hair into a bun. Then she wished away her tears and took a deep breath. ,,You can't show that. That is so week.", she wispered again. The voice of her mother ring in her head.

,,You know mi hija it isn't week to show emotions, it is stronger than everything you can do"

A tear came down her cheek again, but wipped it away.

,,Ella you ready?", Mia called through the house.

,,Yes", Ella said and came out of the bathroom.

,,You ready for that?", Mia asked also sad. Mia tried over the last weeks to show Ella that it's ok to cry but Ella ignored it.

,,Never", Ella said and started to go to thd car. She didn't wanted to go first, but Mia convinced her.

After some seconds of driving they came to the funeral. Many police officers and cars were there, even Brian. Elli knew that Brian worked with Letty, to get Dom home, but she didn't liked him anyways.

,,We came together here to..", The pastor started the funeral.

Elli tried not to cry but some tears came out of her eyes, but she quickly wished them away. Mia cried and layed an arm around Elli.

By the time everyone drove home, Elli stayed. She sat herself infront of the grave. On the headstood was written

In Loving Memory

Yeah she was loved, by Elli, by Mia and by Dom, even if she don't wanted to hear his name.

,,Guys, come on lets give her some time with her mother alone. He wasn't on the funeral, maybe he isn't coming", Brian said to his coworkers to get them away and they did, they left after that and got Elli a silence moment with her mother.

,,You were here, now you can go again", Ella said to the man that came to her after the cops were gone.

,,I'm not going anywere", The man said. It was Dom. Elli knew that so she didn't turned around.

,,Wow suddenly. You wasn't there the past five years so you can run again now"

,,I'm gonna get the one who killed your mother. I promise."

,,And then? You gonna kill them?"

,,probably", Dom said while walking near to Ella.

,,Wow problem solved, mom will come back."

,,No she won't, but nobody is hurting my family. They have to pay for that."

,,And then you gonna run again?"

Dom was silence. He didn't know what to do after that.

,,Yeah run away. You're good in running of your problems. Like me"
