The one that got away

Chapter 10

Sam and Caleb haven't left my side since Monday. I haven't left my room, nick, Jason, Linda, Hanna, Leo, and Jacy  have come to see me.

They've tried talk to me but I haven't talked since the news. A knock came from my door.

"Emma...honey it's us" I recognized my moms voice. After the incident in my bathroom Caleb called my parents.

As soon as they heard they came back but I haven't talked to them either.

She opened the door and in came my mom and dad in all black. Today was the funeral.

My dad sat next me on my bed and my mom stood behind him holding his shoulders.

"Are you sure you don't want to go?" I nodded.

My mom sighed.

"Okay just give us a call if you need anything okay?" I looked over at my phone. I haven't touched it since Monday.

My parents walked out. I could hear the car start and then they were gone.

"I miss you so much..." I cried wile hugging a picture of us together from when we went on vacation together.

I looked at my phone. I wanted to read our old messages.

Picking it up I realized it was still on silent from when I was in the library.

I clicked the on button and saw I had 15 missed calls and 5 messages.

The messages were from Connor....

C: Hello :)

C: We should do something together this weekend. We could watch a movie or have dinner.

C: hey Emma just wanted to say I love you❤️❤️❤️❤️

C: you know I'll always be by your side right? No matter what happens.

C: sorry if i disturbed you with my call.

C: I'll always love you (attachment)

It was a picture he must have took when I wasn't paying attention. We were in my bed and I was asleep, he laid next to me kissing my cheek.

Silent tears went down my face as I re read the messages and looked at the picture.

I quickly got up and got dressed. I need to go to his funeral.

I got in my car and drove off. I made it just I time, people were going up and saying something about Connor.

I walked to the front were I saw my parents, the guys, our friends and Connors parents.

His mom was the first to notice me. "Emma honey I thought you stayed home." Everyone turned to look at me.

"I was going to but then I realized he would want me here, he wouldn't want me to throw my life away." I looked over at the microphone were a lady had just stepped down from.

"May I say something?"

"Of course you can, my son loved you very much you are part of our family." I thanked her and walked up to the mic.

Everyone looked at me.

"Hello my name is Emma I am...I was Connors girlfriend and best friend...Connor was the most wonderful person I have ever met. He always put everyone before him self." I laughed with tears in my eyes.

"I remember when I had gotten a fever and he had gone to my house to keep me company and brought me snacks....even though he had twisted his ankle." I smiled

"He walked in his crutches all the way to my house."

I went on about him and the most beautiful moments we had together.

"I love him and will always keep him in my heart...." I remembered the text messages.

"And I know that no mater were he is or were I am he will always be with me, looking over me." My mom came over to me and gave me a tissue.

After the funeral we went back home, I told them I was gonna be out back.

Zena came with me and laid on my lap when I sat down.

I pulled out my phone as I pet her. I looked over the messages again when suddenly I realized he had said sorry for calling me in class.

He called me....I quickly went to my missed calls, some where from the guys and my parents.

I scrolled down and at the bottom was Connors contact name, next to it read voicemail.

I looked at it for what seemed like forever. I'm scared to hear it.

I took a deep breath and pressed play.

"Hey Emma.....I didn't want to tell you about my surgery because I didn't want to worry you but....incase it doesn't work out I wanted to tell you how much I love you.

From the first time I saw you I knew we would be together." He laughed.

"I was starstruck and I wanted you to know that if I don't make it I want you to move on....please move on Em. Your the most important person to me and I don't want you to be sad."

There was a pause.

"I want you to remember the good times we had, we lived laughed and loved but we must move on. I love you don't ever forget that okay? No matter where we are I will always love you....goodbye Emma."

I put my phone down and looked up at the sky.

"Goodbye Connor"
