Living With the Bryce Boys *UNDER MAJOR EDITING*

Chapter 29

Tuesday

Annie:

Nobody went to school yesterday or today. Elle has been crying uncontrollably. Especially because we are having Alexis and Kyles funeral today at four. I've been trying to help everyone through this as much as I can but it's pretty hard when I can't get passed it either. I didn't tell anyone about the note from Kyle. It was too personal, too mine.

"We're going in twenty, " I told Tyler. We are all getting there at different times, but since I organized it we are getting there first.

I checked on everyone to make sure they were up and getting ready. Cullen was trying to tie his tie, "need some help buddy?"

"Please," he smiled. His smile quickly faded away. I frowned, he's been sad.

At the funeral home people came and went. I saw a lot of faces from school and some I didn't recognize. Elle was in the front row crying on Aarons shoulder and Alexis' mom doing the same on her husband. The brothers were upset, some were crying. I was trying hard to keep it together but it was hard.

When the priest went up to lead the service everyone was quiet. Some people stepped up to share stories about Kyle or Alexis.

Overall, it was heartbreaking.

Thursday:

We have to go back to school today. He house has calmed down quite a bit. Elle has burried herself in a new clothing line and I haven't seen Aaron since the funeral.

I got out of the shower and quickly tied my hair up. I woke up later than usual, feeling the need for extra sleep. I put on my black shorts with my black soccer hoodie and grabbed my bag. Before I walked out of my room I looked out the window, "I've got a bad feeling about today," I said to nobody.

I knocked on Tylers door and told him to hurry. Soon enough we were driving to school.

"It's gonna storm today," Tyler said. I nodded, I could feel it. We walked into school and kissed goodbye.

I walked to first hour and sat by Alex. I think he was most effected by it. I mean, they were the same age and hung out a lot.

"Hey Alex," I greeted.

"Hey Annie."

"I'm here for you if you wanna talk, ok?" He looked away. "Alex, don't shut me out. Let me help, I know what it's like."

"Annie, no you don't. You lost your parents, I get that. You lost your friends, I understand. But you didn't lose your brother, he's the only one in the house that I could talk to. Being fourth its not exactly like my parents have time for me."

"Alex, I'm sorry, and you're right." He kept quiet for the rest of the hour. At lunch it was eerily quiet. Nobody wanted to talk around our group and our group barely talked. It was odd without Kyle. It was especially weird to hear people in the hallway talk about 'the kid who committed suicide.' I had to pull Tyler out of a few almost fights.

The rest of the day was a breeze. Nobody talked to us, teachers didn't ask for homework. I stared blankly at the wall for a while, before my thoughts started getting to me.

'you could have stopped this, He told you he wouldn't live without her, maybe you should join him.'

It got to the point where I was rubbing my arm, where.my scars are. This, my thoughts, are triggering me to cut. But I don't want to, I promised not to.

After school let out I went to soccer. Tyler waited by the field, not wanting to go home yet. Practice was cut short by the rain and I was pretty happy.

At home I took a nap until about six when Tyler woke me up. He took me and we just got some Mcdonalds. We didn't feel like doing anything more and being at home was depressing.

After we picked up food we brought it back to the cave. When we finished eating I just decided to turn over and go to sleep.
