THE NEXT DAY, IT WAS JUNIOR'S MOMS FUNERAL. WE HAD LOST ANOTHER MOM ON THE SAME DAY TOO. All of us were dressed in black, I wore a black laced dress with chains and a my melody little stuffed animal on it for comfort. But I couldn't possibly imagine what Junior and Devon were going through. I didn't go back home that night, but I texted my mom and let her know everything. She said it would be okay.

I looked at myself in the mirror, feeling my stomach turn. I winced softly, as I felt myself start to tear up. I couldn't help but think this was all my fault. He was my dad. I could have stopped him couldn't I?

"Everything's been set up outside, Junior's there too so.. The funeral is ready." Jake said, obviously sad. Who wouldn't be. All of this had happened way too fast and was way too much to even process right now. It was sickening.

I felt guilty of everything. Guilty of seeing Junior's dad, guilty of seeing Junior, guilty of seeing Devon. I couldn't even begin to imagine what they were going through right now. Being an empath made this hurt all the more. I felt everyone's emotions around me.

"Okay.." I said, wiping little tears from the sides of my face. Last night I'd helped Jake bandage up his leg before we went to bed. Although you couldn't see it underneath his black dress pants. He was walking better now already since it was only a small slice.

We both left the room, walking down the staircase together. We didn't say a word to each other during this time and when we approached the front door I saw Junior sitting in the living room. "I'll go find Devon and Lexy." Jake said, I nodded and walked towards Junior in the living room. I approached him and sat down by him slowly.

"Junior..?" I looked at him. He didn't look back. He continued to stare forward. "Jake is fucked up." Junior said. "What..?" I stared. "Jake is fucked up!" He said louder. I nervously looked towards him. "This is all his fault. Everywhere he fucking goes people die. And now Devon's mom too?"

"Junior wait, no. This has nothing to do with Jake..." I explained, trying to calm him down. I grabbed his hand gently but he pulled away, his eyes watering up with tears. I just stared at him, worried. "Junior, I..." I saw tears streaming down his face. I'd never seen him like that before, ever.
