Chapter 13 - Burry Your Friends

I sat down in the plastic chair and grasped my mum's hand tightly in mine, holding it on my thigh. I could feel the tears slowly making their way to the surface, threatening to drown me. I held it together as people started to quiet down. The longing feeling of joining the love of my life tugging at my conscious. A man draped in white stood in front of the crowd, holding his hands up in an attempt to silence everyone.

     "Welcome to the second part of saying goodbye with the Tomlinson and Whale family. This is the hardest and most saddening part so please, do not be afraid to cry on your neighbours shoulder," He announced, opening a book that was resting under his arm. "Would Phoebe Tomlinson like to come up with her sister Daisy as she reads her letter to her sister?"

The twins got up and made their way towards the man in white, piece of papers clenched tightly to their chests.

     "To Taliaha," Phoebe started, her eyes trained on the paper. "I hate to think that you went trough so much pain because of Uncle Harry but I hope you are alright now. I hope you're happy and having fun up in the clouds. I will always remember the smile on your face when you met Doris and Ernest for the first time. When you held them in your arms for the first time, you eyes just sparkled and you lit up. That will always be my favourite memory, other than when I saw how beautiful you were at Mum's wedding or even at Louis'. I will always miss you and I will never forget you. Love your favourite twin, Phoebes."

She folded the paper into thirds before stuffing it into an envelope and sat it in the flowers that were arranged on the wood of my sister's coffin. The sight brought tears to my eyes as Phoebe leant down and pressed a kiss to the cold wood. She came and sat down in the seat beside my mother before Daisy cleared her throat and glanced down at the paper. She sucked in a sharp breath, her shoulders shaking slightly.

     "Taliaha, I hate to draw it to your attention but you are in fact not with me and never will be but I will grow used to the absence of your presence. Thank you for bringing Molly into all of our lives but especially Louis' because he finally found love. I loved the way you used to curl my hair and do my make up when I was only six years old just before you ran away. The way you'd pick me up and throw me over your shoulder and race Louis and Phoebe around the house and see who could get to the back door first. Louis and Phoebe would always win but there was that one time when Louis slipped and fell over, which ended in a lot of blood and tears. So Taliaha, I'll just remember the silly little things like the way we used to walk around on our hands and you dropping me off at school an hour late, the way Mum would make us cook dinner so you'd order Pizza and pay with Mum's credit card which we still kept a secret for at leats five years. Sorry Mum, I wasn't meant to tell you, Taliaha said," Daisy announced, looking up and flashing a smile at Mum. "Taliaha, you will always live in my heart for as long as I'm alive as well as forever and a day. So long and good night.  Love the only sister you actually liked, Daisy."

Daisy placed the sealed envelope on the casket and placed her lips on the prison that was to hold her sister prisoner until the world ended. Daisy nodded at someone in the audience before rushing back to her seat. Molly and Taliaha were being buried right beside each other because we thought it would be a good idea. A few other people from Molly's family came up and said a few thing and placed a few things on her casket before a song started playing through the speakers. The words just captured my attention.

If we could only have this life

For one more day

If we could only turn back time

Only a sight whirring brought me back to my depression riddled body. My eyes focused on the two matching caskets that were slowly lowering into the holes below. Then my thoughts floated away from my body, causing me to end up lurching towards them.

      "NO!" I screamed, tears streaming down my face. I was being held back by someone. I was being prevented seeing my girls. MY  girls! I sobbed uncontrollably as they disappeared from sight. I was lost, completely lost.

I was now nothing.

HIA GUYS! I actually have quite a few songs for this chapter and they are Light Behind Your Eyes - MCR and Kill your Friends - Mcr
