Chloe Connor-Pregnant No.2

Funeral prep

It was the day of the funeral, the first one is ever been to actually, the one I was missing school for. I woke up and went downstairs. I could see that Michelle had already prepared a buffet and she looked worn out. She was in her dressing gown, the one Rob got her for Christmas. She came in to the kitchen, "morning" she whispered. "Morning" I said. "Carlas still in bed so be quiet, why are you up so early?"
"I'm not, it's 9:30" I said. She looked at the clock. "Oh god!" She said loudly. "I thought we were being quiet" Michelle started rummaging through the draws. "What you looking for?" "Paper and a pen, I haven't even written a speech" Michelle said. She carried on looking and there was one right in front of her. I pointed to the paper and pen and she took a deep breath and sat down to write a speech. "Can you wake Carla up please?" She asked. "Can't you, I need to go and pick my dress up from Roy's?" "Right see ya in a bit"... "CARLA!!" Michelle screamed.
I walked through the bar and out the front door. Tracy had just been in the shop and was coming back home. She waved but she looked upset... I carried on walking and then I got to Roy's. I walked in, and everyone was already in their eating breakfast. Roy was with Cathy in the corner table. "Hi, can I get my dress from upstairs?" "Of-of course, I will take you up, Cathy, will you join us?" Roy said. Cathy nodded and followed behind Roy and I. We got upstairs and Roy showed me where the dress was. "It's a lovely dress, what's it for?" Cathy asked innocently. "Thanks and, my brothers funeral" "I'm sorry?" She said confused. "I'm-I'm so sorry I-I forgot to tell you, Chloe's 'brother' Rob was-was killed in-in prison last week" Roy said. Cathy pulled a face. "Ooh," "Roy, your coming aren't you?" I didn't actually know if he was or not because not a lot of people were coming. I didn't even know if Tracy would show up even. "I-I will try and make it" Roy insured. I smiled then said bye to Roy and headed back to the rovers.

"CARLA!" Michelle yelled again. When Carla didn't answer, she got quite worried and decided to go wake her in person. She went upstairs and walked straight into her room where Carla stayed for the night. She walked up to Carla and gently stroked her hair back. "Carla" she said softly. Michelle squeezed Carlas hand and she soon woke up. Carla yawned and sat up slightly. "Mornin" she said sleepily. Michelle stared into Carlas dark brown eyes. "Alright sleepin beauty" Michelle joked. Carla smirked. "What time is it?" Carla asked. "About 10:00" Carla jumped up. "10??" "It's alright everything's sorted, the foods downstairs, Steves getting the car to pick us up at one, so we have plenty of time" Michelle said. Carla sighed and patted Michelle's leg.
