Katy and Cheryl just arrived from the venue. But still a word hasn't been spoken yet which made Katy sighed.

"Baby..We're here." Cheryl slowly looked at Katy and Katy looked into those eyes. The once that use to have a sparkle in it and full of joy is now empty and lost.

"Y-you ready.." A nod is enough of a response for Katy as she gets out of the car and walk around it opening Cheryl's door. She guides her as she steps out of the car. Cheryl immediately clings on to her fiance as soon as she got out wrapping her thin arms around her lover's waist and burrying her head on her chest as Katy closes and locks the door.

Cheryl was weak and doesn't have the energy. She's very thin and the changes in her is so visible and this worries Katy. So much.

They slowly made their way towards the venue with Katy's arms wrapped protectively around the brunette shielding her from the looks that people are giving her.

Finally they walk in and as they walk down the aisle, all eyes were on Cheryl. And it made Katy irritated, she hates it when Cheryl is being judged. Even before, when she's talked about in magazines or in the papers saying bad stuffs, it always made her frustrated though she just keeps quiet about it, the truth is she's boiling inside.

The couple sat on the first row and Katy noticed Cheryl wasn't looking at the coffin. Cheryl made herself busy by playing with the hem of Katy's top.

"Cheryl..." Katy looks up and saw Joan sat beside them so she gave her a small smile while Cheryl didn't move and just continue with what she was doing.

"Baby, your mother's here..." She whispers but Cheryl didn't seem like she was listening to any of them and just put her focus on what she was doing.

Joan sighed getting an apologetic look from Katy. Joan stares at her daughter and sees the huge weight loss just by what she's wearing. The sweater that clings to her and the skinny jeans that looks too big on her, Her cheekbones are on full show.

"When will it start?" Katy whispers as she tries to create a subject between her and Joan just to take her mind off Cheryl.

"Uhm..Maybe in 5" She gave her a sad smile and looks at the coffin infront of them.

" There are already a lot of people here-"

"That's just half of it pet. There are more people who will have their last visit today and the others will go directly at the cementary." Katy was quite overwhelmed, She didn't knew that many would show up in her daughter's last day.

"Will you excuse us for a sec." Katy nodded and with Joan leaves at the same time her phone rang so she tookit out of her pocket and saw her mother calling which she answers immediately.

'Hello'

'We've just landed and we're on our way there.'

'Hi mom.' Katy whispers as she stroked Cheryl's locks placing small kisses on top of her head.

'How are you?'

'Terrible, numb, empty. It didn't even crossed my mind that it will all lead to this.'

'How's Cheryl?' Katy sighs as she stares down to Cheryl. A wave of sadness adds up. Her Cheryl is a mess.

'S-she's broken.'
---------
The ceremony has started and the couple were in their own world. Cheryl treis not to listen to any of the words being said but she still grasps a few words which makes her shed a few tears but she never did look at the coffin.Not even once.

Time had gone by and its Katy's turn to giveher eulogy for Max. So she placed a kiss on Cheryl's forehead and untangle herself from her fiance making Cheryl turn to her mother instead.

Katy walks infeont and took a glance at the coffin before letting out a shaky breath and unfolds the paper she's been holding since the ceremony started.

Diana Maxene Tweedy. A name I won't forget. A name that's been imprinted on my heart since the first day I met her.

Honestly, I don't know how to start this eulogy, because until now its still a shock and I still can't accept it. That she's gone.

When I first met Maxene, she was at the hospital that time cause she had a heart attack, She was introduced by Cheryl as her niece. But I didn't believed her. Just how close they were isn't an aunt-niece relationship, it was like a mother and a child relationship. But soon Cheryl admitted it to me, That Max is truly her daughter. And by then I accepted Max with all my heart.

As months passed by, I found out who the real Max is. Max is caring, loving, and so strong. Though she carries a lot of problems, she can manage a smile everytime I see her.

Everytime she wakes up at the hospital she would always smile to us. Telling us it's okay. That she's fine. She then will wipe our tears with her cold hands and flicker her eyes.

Her heart is pure and innocent, All she wanted was to get better back then cause she doesn't want to leave Cheryl and I. And in sometime, she did got better. My dad found a heart donor back in America and soon Max had a new heart.

Her smile and tears were priceless when we told her the news that she had a new heart as soon as she wakes up after being in a coma for so long.

Max had gone through many challenges in her life and she taught me so much. She taught me how to be honest and more responsible. And God knows how thankful I am for her. That I met her . That she came into my life

Until now, I can still hear those words. "Everything will be okay or You'll be fine." That's what she always say. And I miss her. I miss her so bad.

All I want is to hold her close hearing her heartbeat match with mine.

Hold on..Katy paused letting a few tears go as she toom her

So baby, gumdrop, sweetheart, sweetums, jellybean and my angel. My sweet angel, Everything will be okay soon, I know you had a lot to carry and now, its time you rest. I'll do the rest down here. I love you very much and I will think of you every second of the day. I love you baby. Till we meet again.
-------
Cheryl's P.O.V.
Every word that Katy said had gone through my head. Its like a never ending record in my brain. And as much as I want to say my part, I can't.

As much as I want to say my goodbyes, I can't. I can't face all this people that seems to judge us and talk about what my daughter's life had been without bursting into a bucket of tears.

Maxene is still alive

That's what I believe. That's what I chose to believe. Cause her promise still lives in me. That she won't leave me, that she will fight and with us looking at the black coffin infront of us contradicts to all of those, making me wake up into reality.

The reality I don't want to be a part of. Cause in this reality, my daughter, my whole world just vanished. And there's no point in living anymore.

I can't see a future without my daughter. My sweet and innocent daughter. She was everything to us and now she's gone that leaves me nothing.

And for some reason, I wanted to go home. I want to lock myself in my room and let the memories come back. The good and the bad, it doesn't matter just as long she's in it, I'm already satisfied.

Maybe its better to live in an imaginative world than to be stuck in the real world where there are full of heartaches and of all the heartaches I've felt. I can tell that this is the worst and most painful heartache I have ever felt.

There's no cure. I could never be cured. My heart had turned to dust and is blown away by the cold air that runs through my body. I'm becoming numb and completely empty. And the only cure is that I could get to see my daughter and live with her for the rest of my life.

That would be the only cure.
