Tw; death, talking casually about suicide and dying and stuff idk

Lovers perspective;

Rep walked into my room, and I immediately noted her teary eyes, which meant that something was very wrong.

"Reppy what happened?" I wrapped an arm around her shoulder and she sniffed, looking at me with pain in her eyes. "Don't cry baby," I rubbed my thumb on her shoulder comfortingly.

"I f-feel bad for being so emotional over this- I-i mean I didn't even know her-"

"Wait wait wait, hold on, know who? What's going on?" I shook my head, looking at her concerned.

"Y-your friend's mom called and- and- Olivia- um- passed away," she said nervously.

"Oh," I said "damn."

Rep looked at me quizzically, and I got self conscious. Was I supposed to cry? Why wasn't I crying?

But like how did she die

Is that inappropriate to ask?

Probably but I really want to know

"Lover? You alright baby?"

"How'd she die?" Oops, that slipped out

"Uh- well, her parents haven't disclosed that information yet,"

"Huh, that means either murder or suicide," I mused, eyebrows furrowed. "I'm going to probably rule out murder, because I was talking to her for ages last night, and-"

"You were talking to her last night?" Rep's eyebrows shot up.

"Yeah that's what I said, anyways, she's a bit too happy sometimes, so I reckon it was probably suicide." I nodded

"Lover- princess, she was your best friend." Rep reversed our roles and pulled me so that I was sitting across her lap.

"No, you're my best friend," I corrected.

"I'm flattered baby, but-" she cut herself off, sighing. "Just know, whatever you're feeling right now is normal, yeah?"

"I know." I smiled, nodding.

"And you can talk to me any time if you need." She reassured me, don't know why she thought I needed it, but it was sweet.

"Thanks," I laid my head in her neck. "You too, by the way. You can talk to me."

"Thanks, I just, like, I dunno, you don't seem too cut up about it, and I feel stupid for being so sad about it."

"Don't babe, I know I possibly- probably, have weird reactions to death." I shrugged again. "Do we know when the funeral's scheduled for?"

"It's a couple of weeks away, I'll check the exact date later."

At the funeral;

We had just arrived, a few minutes early to allow for time to get in and find seats and stuff. Since there was an overflow of people, some had to move outside, and Rep and I decided to go so that we let her family stay inside.

Holy shit why is there so many people
This many people would not show up if I died

Everyone quieted down and I zoned out while they yapped for far too long. My mind wandered and I started planning my own funeral.

Who would show up? Rep and the rest of the albums, obviously, Taylor, I have maybe 5 other close friends and that's about it.
Oh well some people would want to bring family or a partner so that's a couple more people.
