Chapter 9

Today was the day of gray's funeral, everyone was seated on the black fold out chairs, all dressed in black with tears down their cheeks, the coffin was at the front underneath the large statue of gray, black and red roses surrounded his coffin and the music of 'the 1975' was playing quietly.

Erza stood up first and walked to the statue to start the ceremony, "as you all know gray fullbuster was our fellow guild member but he was also our friend, our family, even though he was ignorant and idiotic he was also sweet and serious when he had to be, he saved lives and I refuse to remember him for his bad decisions, as the good decisions over ruled the bad ones, I would like to sing a song in remembrance of gray"

The music started up and Erza started to sing,

"I don't do yoga, never tried Pilates, Not many people want me at their parties,

Trying to find my place, some place"

Erza sang the song with sorrow in her eyes, the last few words of the song blurted out,

"Maybe something's wrong with me, Whoa, at least I am free, oh, oh, and I am free."

By now everyone was in full blasted tears but they clapped for her and Erza finished her speech,

"Now he is free from all the hurt anyone has given him, I would like to now call up Cana"

Cana slowly walked up to the statue and cleared her throat, "I have known gray for a long time, and we may not have been that close but I still loved him, I never had the chance to actually tell him that as he..." Cana paused for a second as fresh tears fell, "passed, but now as Erza said, he is free, just remember guys, remember all the good things, like how he saved lives or how he always took his clothes off" stopping to let out a small giggle, "Kaitlynn, you requested to come up next?"

Cana stepped down and back to her seat, passing Kaitlynn as she walked up, "yes, everyone knows what happened between us, it was an honest mistake, I spent the night hanging out with Laxus as friends but the next day Gajeel and Natsu smelled him on me, which would be normal as we hugged before I went to bed, but the reason it didn't last is because he didn't believe me when I told him the truth." She paused to take a breath, "but I never meant for him to get upset so much, too... do this" natsu suddenly jumped up shouting, "liar! How can you say that you whore, I smelt Laxus on your breath, you kissed that son of a bitch!" everyone gasped and turned back to Kaitlynn glaring, "is that true, Kaitlynn?" Erza questioned. "Yes" Kaitlynn replied then ran down the isle and reached the doors, "I was trying to be a nice friend and he kissed me, how was I supposed to tell gray that huh!?" and she pushed out of the doors and ran away.
