Dear Diary,
Today school was cancelled because of Matthew Johnsons funeral. I still cant get over the fact hes gone. He may have been my bully, but he was the only person who knew how I felt.
I guess I have to get this day over with, atleast say my final goodbyes.

I put on my black, knee length, dress and black heels. I straightened my hair and put on light makeup.
I waited a few minutes for Allison and the boys to show up.
"Hey, you okay?" Ashton asks as he pulls me into a hug.
"Yeah..." I whisper, and walk over to Allison. I give her a hug too, and then we all pile into Ashtons Range Rover.
The drive there was silent, but a nice silence.
We pull up to the small, yet equally nice church, and slowly get out.
Ashton grabs my hand, and we all walk in. I smell cologne and flowers.
"I think thats his mum." Ashton points to a distressed woman on the other side of the room.
We all walk over to the woman, each giving her a weak smile.
"Claire? Allison?" We were confused as to how she knew us, but nodded anyways. "I didnt know you and Matthew were friends again..."
"Again?" Allison asks.
"And we werent." I say, "we only came to pay our respects." She nods, and sits down. We all sit beside her.
"Its just that, when you were all young, in kindergarden, you used to be best friends."
What? Me and Allison, best friends with Matthew?
"We were?" Allison asks.
She points to one of the pictures on the memory board.
Three kids two girls and a boy. Of course, it was the three of us.
"I dont even remember that." I admit, and she sighs.
"Well I do, and I remember in third grade when Matthew asked you to be his girlfriend and you said no. You were just young but he was so hurt about it. You were never friends again."
"Thats why he bullied me all those years?" I say, and she raises an eyebrow.
"Bully?"
"Oh, um... Yeah. But its nothing." I assure her, and we all make our way to the casket.
Matthews lifeless body lay peacefully in an expensive suit.
His eyes are shut, and his chest lays flat, but it seems like he could get up at any moment.
"Goodbye, Matthew." I say, as we all walk to our seats.
If only I had told someone, I could have saved his life.

{Emmas POV- Present}
I watched as Aidan chased Josh around the room playfully. Joshs giggles made everyone mood just a little brighter.
I start to think about it. Matthew... He died.
Matthew is Aidans middle name.
"Hey, honey." Mom says as she sits next to me. "Melanie should be here soon." I nod my head, and look down at the diary.
"Matthew... Aidans middle name. Was it because of this Matthew?" She nods her head.
"Yup, Matthew Johnson." She smiles and looks down at her lap.
"Family of Luke, Calum, Ashton and Michael?" We all look up at the doctor.
"Could a woman named... Allison, please come with me?"
