Candice's pov;

Never knew my life would take this kind of turn. I was lost. I didn't know what to do. In the years that i have lived, i never knew i would experience such a day. I was scared, lonely, and disappointed with life.

I stood there in front of the chapel which was in the cemetery, while a few people and harold carried the casket inside the chapel.

Even though my parents were there to console me, i was still feeling broken and just needed him to be there to console me.

When the casket was inside the chapel, the others entered. My short black dress was a brand new one. I didn't know when did harry buy this for me.

How could he prepare for his own death. I whimpered but then a hand wiped my tears. I opened my eyes to find blue eyes staring into mine. Harold.

"Come and take a seat candy" he whispered. I nodded and walked with him while he was holding my hand. We both sat down at the first bench.

I stared at the casket which wad now opened. I looked at the lifeless face of my love, my boyfriend, best friend. He still lookef so handsome. The cancer didn't take away the shine of his face.

He looks so peaceful now. I wanted to marry him. Have a life with him, but maybe god has other plans too.

The priest came and started with the funeral mass. I silently prayed for him to wake up and tell me that he was just asleep and that he's there with me. I can't take it anymore. I don't know what i would do now without him.

Harry, please wake up. Pretty please.

I was so lost in my thoughts that i never knew it was my time to give a speech about him.

I got up from my chair and walked towards the altar. I got to the mic and began my sad speech.

"When you meet that person, you're meant to be with you for the rest of your life you just know; you get drawn towards someone so hard, it's hard not to notice. I felt this happen when i first met harry at college, at the science lab. Maybe it was luck or destiny which brought us together by first being lab partners, then friends, then lovers. He was not only my strength but my weakness too, i could never say no to him. He was my best friend and my happiness, he taught how to live when there is a storm in our lives. He always encouraged me, pushed me towards my goals and always supported me, gave me the best life advice. Throughout the time we shared together, we grew together, did everything together. Now that he is gone, a part of me is gone too. I miss you so much baby, your smile, your laugh, the way your dimples pop up whenever you giggle or laugh, every part of you is perfect. Every memory with him, i have is perfect and is worth having it with him and i still can't believe that you are taken away from me babe. Harry baby you were everything i ever wanted. Rest in peace baby. I love you more than i can say"

I was bitterly crying. I couldn't help it. Who wouldn't cry when they loved ones die.

I miss my harry. Why did he go. "Hey candy shh. Sweetie, calm down. By crying nothing's gonna happen. Shh let me get you to your place" he whispered and brought me back to my place.

"Here take this" he offered me his handkerchief. I took it and wiped my eyes. "Be here ok, i'll just go and come" he whispered and pressed a soft kiss on my head.

I saw him walk up to the altar and start to give his speech. He too began to cry which broke my heart. He cried bitterly for his brother.

My eyes then landed back on the casket. I just couldn't see it. It was so hard to see the person you love, lying there lifeless in the casket ready to go 6ft down.
