I opened my mouth wide. The whole world seemed to slow down around me. I could hear Jason shouting to me but I couldn't tell what he was saying.
I fell to my knees, tears streaming down my face.
Jason put his arm around me; I was completely oblivious to any movement he made. My attention was solely focused on the bodies. "This isn't real. This can't be happening, Jason tell me that this isn't happening!" I screamed, pressing my hands against my ears.
His mouth opened and closed slowly.
"Tell me!" I yelled, turning to face him. "I need to know that this isn't real... Please! I can't do this, I don't know what to do." I started rocking back and forth, trying to comfort myself no matter how slightly.
Under my breath, I started to sing,
"And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never fading with the sunset
When the rain set in
And your footsteps will always fall here
Along England's greenest hills
Your candle's burned out long before
Your legend ever will
Loveliness we've lost
These empty days without your smile
This torch we'll always carry
For our nation's golden child
And even though we try
The truth brings us to tears
All our words cannot express
The joy you brought us through the years."
That was the song they'd played at my aunty's funeral. I was never very close to her but that song still made me cry. As I sat there, crying on Jason's shoulder I felt the exact emotion that I'd felt during her funeral: despair.
"Shhh, it's ok." He dragged me up slowly.
