DARK ROSE

19.

" We are all gathered here today to celebrate the life of a beautiful young woman who was sent to god before her time. Ms. Stephanie Francis-John was a aspiring dancer and was a member of the church for a very long time. Mhmm Ms.Dorsey didn't play that no child ! - "
Between tears shedding the crowd agreed with a snifle and a occasional "mhm".
" Her and her older sister everyone knows Ms.Amron , well they always together making a mess. Even though their situation wasnt always the best. They had faith in god and themselves and made their way through. And I just wanna thank god for having his hands over these ladies. Because without god they wouldnt be blessed to be where they were , but our lord and savior found a way. And he decided to take a angel with him. Ms.Stephanie will be deeply missed.-"

The pastor continued talking but I tuned him out. It still isn't registering in my head that HERE right now is going to be the last time im going to see my little fucking sister ! My chest hurts soo bad. I leaned on my mothers shoulder. She bent down looked at me with her cheeks red from crying just as hard as me. This is the last time she seen her daughter since she was 6 years old. In a casket.
The pastor finished her obituary and asked if anyone wanted to share a memory about Stephanie.
I got up , Shai got up , Dorsey got up , Maia got up and my mom got up.
I went first.
I wiped my eyes.
" I just want to think everyone for showing up today. Me and Steph both wouldve appreciated it. I just can't believe shes gone. Thats my baby sister. I remember the day she came home from the hospital , how small she was and how she was mine. Niw the one person who I knew had my back 1000% is gone. I love my sister mann. Its gonna be hard without you Steph. I love you. "
I started histerically crying again soo I got off stage and left out the church. It was too much for me right now.
After everyone said their respects we went to her burial.

It was fewer people there but thats when it REALLY hit me.
Im never gonna see her again.
Wow.
As she went down in the ground , everyone cried harder my mom falling everywhere going crazy , shai holding back his tears with his arms around me. Im just numb.
I cant cry anymore.
At least I know now shes safe away from my family bullshit. Shes with god and the angels up above. She deserves it.
When it stopped going down , everyone started departing but I stayed for a little longer till it was jist me and stephs casket which was deep in the ground.
" see you on the other side. " i said.
And i dropped one last dark red rose on her casket. The stem and stuff was messed up but the rose was still beautiful. It was still beautiful.
" you ready babe ? " shai asked.
" yeah . " i looked down one last time and left to the car.

This is the first time in a minute that I felt in peace.
