The tie that Binds can be Broken

When you think of death and wedding, you think about the same thing. It is time to let someone go for something new to happen. It can be a joyous event and can be sad. The event is something that we all can't escape while we all try to we will all die and weddings even if there not ours is something we all will witness first hand. My friend Nivea always wanted to have a wedding he in this church. The church architect reminded her of all those old movies where they groom and bride run out with happy feelings and smiles. I wonder do they have weddings in heaven. Can you find love in heaven? Will my friend find peace in the other side?
"Samantha what are you thinking about", said Jun.
"Oh nothing Santos just looking around the church seeing if everything is right for her", said Samantha.
"We did the check she has no marks she won't becoming back as a ghoul like you asked I checked myself. We won't have to hunt her tonight", said Jun
"Good I never thought I would be putting her in the ground before me. I always thought that I would die before her. She was so strong way more then me. She can do stuff with a sword I could never do", said Sam.
"Sammy you can't blame yourself you know", said Jun.
"Don't call me Sammy we aren't children anymore this is real life. We can't live in the past", said Sam.
Sam walks away from Jun. he looks as if she called him the worse name in the world. She stops walking and turns around but he has already walked away from her. She walks into place and surveys the area once more. The church with its high ceilings and gothic décor is such that you could think that it was made in the 16 century. It has long been sad that this church is the church that people of the dammed go to pry. Many say this is the only Catholic Church that will bury suicides. The cool air smiles of violets that have brought in for the event. Samantha for a moment looks onto the floor. A single bud is left on the floor. She smiles and looks on. The bud has a small imperfection in the middle. It seems that it has been rotting in the middle for quite some time. She remarks in her head that the florist probably found it when it was making the arrangement and threw it out but forgot to put it away before we all came. Sam smells the flower and thinks how something so much beauty can be thrown away. It has so much life but with one thing happens and it can be thrown away as if life is nothing.
"Why do people have to die in such ways why can't we al die in our sleep then we can never decay. We can just like be like sleeping beauty and never go away", said Sam.
"If we never died then how can we reborn to learn the next lesson in life", said Leron.
"How can we learn something we never remember the first lesson. We are new when we are born", Sam.
"No you are wrong when we are born we have the dreams of the life before. We may change our goals. We may change our loves but the thing our soul truly wants will never die", said Leron.
"So Leron what is the dream that your soul wants to fitful", said Sam.
"My soul wants what all souls want to be free and happy. Her soul, who she is inside. We will find it again we will see her again death is nothing more then a place our body goes to rest. Our souls, who we are never die it continues it expands it moves and becomes something more again and again. When a soul finally finds what it is looking for that when it rest," said Leron.
"So what if her soul is resting and we never come back", said Sam.
"Don't believe that for a second that her soul is done. She has so much life in her that she will find us sp fast that you feel like she never left. You remember that you are friends and that no matter how far her soul is buried in heaven she will find her friends," said Leron.
"Leron I wanna tell you something really important right now", said Sam.
She walked real close to her friend and grabbed his hand. You can feel his emotions race. Since she never really did this kind of stuff in her normal life. You could feel the weight of the moment, as she looked straight into the eyes Leron. He swallowed the spit in his mouth as she looked in her eyes. Her eyes long and deep with the weight of the world. You could feel the moment change for both of them as if something big was about to happen them and this was the moment it was going to happen.
"Leron", said Sam.
She whispered her words to him as if they were ear to ear.
"Yes Samantha what is it", said Leron.
"You are full of shit all this friends shit is nothing but something you say to people who friend dies in their sleep or from a heart attack. My friend head was ripped off. Her soul not coming back and nothing joyous will happen soon. Stop living in this world where this shit fly. They is no heaven there is no hell there just darkness", Said Sam.
Sam pushed him away and walked away through the steps where she saw the twins on the steps waiting for her.
"Sam we brought your bike is it ready for other people come in her family want it to start", said Tim.
"Good boys well I got to ride for while you know I don't stay for the burial", said Sam.
She hops in her motorcycle it is 1973 BMW motorcycle in mint condition. It is cherry red with a lily on the seat, and drives off into the distance. Jun at that moment drives up in his yellow striped charger and jumps out and rushes to the twins.
"You're just going to let her go. Miss Joy Nivea mother coming she been waiting to see her for some time. What am I suppose to say to her", said Jun.
"Santos don't you think we know that, but we can't stop her not even you can. We can just make excuse for like we always do", said Tim.
"I hate giving her excuses like we are her parents she 24 years old we can't she just go to burials like we all do. Why does she have special treatment we all out there, but we all act like she special why she just an overgrown bitch we all know it", said Tom.
Jun grabs his shirt tight around his neck. And picks him off the pavement for a moment and brings him down. Tom looks at him for a moment then snares at him.
"Oh yes I forgot to you she is the little princess the three amigos well listen to me the gang gone it just us so who are you with us or her", said Tom.
Jun raises her hand to strike Tom. Then Tom raises his hand and moves his foot a little back to get ready for a fight.
"Oh what are you waiting for huh Jun you really tough hit me. Let see how tough you really are when she not here to save you", said Tom.
Jun strikes him with so much force that he flips her backwards. She slams onto the pavement. He gets up just as quick but stumbles for a moment to his knee. Then he spits out the blood on to the concrete before him. He raises up again and raises her hand for another round with Jun. Jun raises his hand once again ready to go another round with each other. Tim looks away as if he knows a train wreck is about to happen as they both raises their fist to each other face. As they both race their fist to each other suddenly, a wind blows between them and a hand is on both their fist holding them back from another.
"You really think fighting today with make you both better", Said Leron
"Leron where did you come from", said Jun.
"I have been watching this happen through the window of the church. You both put on a show I only wish I could let this go so you both can just kill each other and I can get rid of both of you," said Leron.
"Damn ghost I can't stand any of you. I'll be in the church waiting for people to come", said Tom.
He walks up to Jun and pints his finger toward him.
"We're not done Santos one day ghost won't be here. That when I am going to get you. You here me Santos your perfect life going crash by my hands", said Tom.
He grabs his finger and starts to crush it. Tom lowers to his knees as if he is kneeling to Jun and looks down on the ground.
"Remember how you look today because this is how you will always look to me Tom. When you get the best of me is when I'm the one being buried you get it boy", said Jun.
"Jun let go of him and you all go inside, and you I have something to say. I know that today is hurt for us all but, no matter what differences we have. All we have is each other and Sam. Well, Sam she seen so much of this she dead inside. She can't cry anymore. If she needs to drive to feel better then we should let her. We can't get mad at someone for wanting to be alone today none can", said Leron.
They all agreed to go inside, and walked upstairs to the church doors. Night fell on the city. Still on her bike, Sam drove faster and faster to her favorite spot off the Calumet Expressway. She stopped on the side of the road and looked at the moon it was high up in the air and full. The shine of the moon looked like the bike was sparkling as it danced off it. The Bike stood not very big compared to bikes of the day but she loved it any way. She took the keys out for a moment.
"Nivea are you really coming to find me again. Is there something more to death then what I always thought it was? You know you been gone for only a couple days and I can't bring myself to say your gone out loud to people. I can't even use past tense when I talk about you", said Sam.
"I can't use past tense with her myself Sammy", said Jun.
"I see you came to find me. How was the burial anyway? Was it good did everyone talk about her", said Sam.
"Of course Sammy they talk about her, but the thing was you're the person know her the best out of all of us. You now it funny they great super hero like yourself can't stand funerals it funny you know. It you're biggest per peeve but you must know that this is goanna happen", said Jun.
"I know that I will go to funerals but I can't go to them anymore I been to over hundred funerals in my life. I put on the same black, the same perfume, and the same purse and walk the same steps to the church. I look into the casket and pay my respect. I just want it to end. I'm tried Jun. I'm tried of doing this all the time. I'm just wait for death now myself", said Sam.
"Sammy I know I can't understand how you feel, but you have t know that I loved Nivea for some time. I think I can kinda understand how you feel, but I know that she would want you understand something.
She turns to Jun to look at him. Her face looked crack as if she about to cry. The wind whips her hair in her face. She pulls it away and looks down for a moment.
"I think that your major bitch you know that do you really think your pain not all of us she was just like a wife for a while do you think my pain not the same well do you",said Jun.
She rushes to Jun and hugs him. The moment scares him for a moment he never hugged her before and she never acted like this before. She holds him tight and she looks at him as the moon hits her eyes tears sparkle her brightly.
"Jun I have something to tell you", said Sam.
"What is it Samantha", said Jun.
