     Evan sat next to his family on the front seats, tears gathering in his eyes as he listened to the priest talk about his sister in the small church attached to the cemetery. Michael sat there as well, never looking up but you could see the tears falling from his eyes. William sat beside Henry, his expression blank as he stared at his gloves, his partner holding his arm in a comforting way. Serena sat in the bench behind them, her daughter in her arms, not really seeming like she wanted to be there. Evan held his bear close as the priest finished talking before instructing everyone to head outside. Michael slowly stood up, going over to his friends, tears pouring from his cheeks. William held his youngest son's hand, "...C'mon bud...." He said softly, walking out with the boy. 

      The middle Afton stood at the mound of broken earth, clutching a pink peony in his gloved hands, his sister's favourite flower. He shook as his father rested a hand on his shoulder, guiding him to go sit down. Everyone sat in the folding chairs, before being called one by one to throw the pink flowers into her grave. Evan sat, clutching the flower, not wanting to let go of it just yet...knowing that when he threw it down...it was his final goodbye to his little sister. He sighed, slowly standing up, "...I miss you Beth..." He whispered, before throwing the flower down, tears pouring from his eyes.  Michael grabbed his brother's shoulder, pulling him into a tight hug. Evan sobbed, hugging his brother tightly...Beth was gone...she was really gone...
