How did we end up here?//ON HOLD//

Why is there "Fun" in "Funeral"?

[Luke's p.o.v.]

I decided to go see Laura. Calum and Micheal have been walking around in a trance and Ashton is with Ashley. I walk over to where she's sitting and sit next to her. She looks over at me. There are tears streaming down her face. I put my arms around her and pull her closer to me. She buries her face in my shoulder and wraps her arms around my neck.

"It's going to be okay. She's in a better place now." I say, trying to comfort her. I'm not very good at this.

"I just miss her so much." Her voice cracks as she talks. It's killing me to see her this way. I just want to take all the pain away.

"I know you do. I didn't know her all that well, but from what I do know, she was an amazing person."

"She was one of the best friends I ever had. Now she's just gone. It's so unfair!"

"I know it is. Just think of all the good times you two had."

"I'm trying, I really am. It's just every time I think of something good about her, I cry even more. I just keep thinking that she's not here to have anymore good times. So I start to think of the things that got on my nerves, but then I just miss her more. I hate her for leaving me. I really hate her." It surprises me that she gets through all of that without breaking down till the very end.

I don't know what else to say so I just hold her. I start rocking back and fourth, still trying to calm her down. I know it's no use, she lost her best friend. I don't know what I would do if one of the guys died. I guess I would do what Laura's doing.

Eventually it's time for the eulogies and first is some family. You know, parents, grandparents, that sort of thing. Then, it's time for Royal's friends to give their eulogies. Ashley goes, then Gage, Lydia, Morgan, Sean, and finally it's Laura's turn. She walks up to the podium and takes a deep breath.

"Okay so I suck at speeches and all that stuff so bare with me. I have no idea where to start. She was, she was my best friend. I could tell her anything. I think I took her for granted sometimes. I loved her, I still do love her. It doesn't really feel like she's dead though. I mean, it's like she just died without warning. One second she was here then the next, she's just gone. I remember on Halloween when we were trick or treating and then I almost got hit by a car. It turns out that the people in the car were the members of our favorite band. I'm glad she got to meet them before she died. I miss her more than I've ever missed anyone." Laura has to pause in order to compose herself again.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is, we all miss her and I just wish I could have said goodbye." Laura finishes and then walks back over to me.

[Laura's p.o.v]

After I finish talking, I walk over to Luke and hug him. I end up crying for the rest of the of the service. We had decided that we would have the boys carry the casket to the hearse. As the boys carry the coffin away, I talk to Kiley's mom and family.

"Hey." I say and offer a sad smile.

"Hey Laura. I'm so glad you came." Her mom tells me.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world." I say as we hug.

"So you're the famous Laura Kiley always talked about." An older man, I'm assuming is her grandpa, says.

"Yeah. I'm Laura." I say and, instead of a hand shake, he pulls me into a hug.

After we talk for a little longer trading stories, we head to the cemetery. I don't know why, but I have a feeling that something's not right. I can't quite tell what it is though. There's just something wrong about this whole thing. That's when it hits me. She's not dead! I saw her move and I could've sworn I heard her groan. Than again. that could just be my imagination. She died, I, along with Morgan and Lydia, pulled the plug. She's gone and she's never coming back.

She's never coming back.
