Drama, Love, and Superman (A One Direction love story)

Chapter 29

-The day of the funeral-

Louis' POV 

I put on my tie that goes with my suit and tie it and slide on my jacket and shoes. I fixed my hair a bit and looked at myself in the full length mirror. I was kind of dreading this day, we all were, we weren't looking forward to more tears considering there has been enough between all of us recently. I put my phone inside of my jacket, on silent, off, and walked to my car. The guys had left a few minutes ago and I told them I'd drive myself.

I arrived at the funeral home and grabbed my papers from inside my car and headed inside the place. It was a gloomy, rainy day, what you would expect on the day of a funeral in London. I went inside the room where everyone was chatting silently amongst themselves. Nobody was smiling, but why would they? Someone we all loved and cared for so much had just passed away. Everyone took their seat when I headed up to the podium. I placed my papers down and everyone stopped talking.

"So, I'm Louis Tomlinson, and as many of you know, I was Maci's boyfriend. We all really cared for Maci and I personally miss her more than anything. She was one of the best things that had ever happened to me really. Her last few months...she was so happy, full of life. She always had been but she just seemed really happy even though she had a limited time to live. She just always thought on the bright side of things." I took a breath and blinked back a few tears that had began to form and began speaking again. "We all loved her...some of us knew her better than others, but I can't imagine anyone being able to hate her...she's kind to everyone. I remember we were at one of our gigs and a little girl...she walked up to Maci and told her she was beautiful. She had cancer, Maci sat down with her and listened to her story...she was always so caring. Even if she didn't like the person, she tried to be nice to them. She made everyone feel important and that's a very hard thing to do. We will all miss her. I hope nobody will ever forget her. I hope she is always remembered. She deserves to be remembered. So all of you just promise me, you'll always keep her somewhere in your heart. Don't let her go, she was so special." I finish my speech and people clap softly and walk back to my seat next to Harry and he side hugs me, I wipe away the tears that had escaped and everyone got into their cars and drove to the burial. 

Harry was driving the car, I didn't think I could handle driving today. We arrived and parked and got out of the car and headed to the crowd. I went towards the front and stared as they lowered the casket into the ground. 

That was when I lost it. Tears were pouring down my face by now but you could barely tell because of the rain...it was horrible...she was just...gone. They finally finish and I turn around and just stand in front of Harry for a while. He finally wraps his arms around me and I hug him tightly, I doubt he could even breathe but he didn't care. I let my sobs grow louder and I couldn't take it. It hurt so bad...she was actually gone. I couldn't believe it. 

"Come back." I whisper quietly. 

"What?" Harry asks softly. 

"Make her come back." I sobbed and he just held me closer. I wipe my face and pull away and we all get back in the car. Arianna hadn't cried yet but she was ready to, I could tell. Brice had been crying the entire time and had just been hugging Liam since Harry was kind of my support right now. We reached the house and headed inside. I walked back to my room and took a long hot shower and got into sweats and just lied down on my bed. It felt weird...nobody lying with me. I looked over to see Maci's phone on the table...I forgot I had brought it back from the hospital. I burst into tears again and grabbed it. I unlocked it and the lock screen was us, at the The Fray concert. I slid the unlock and it flickered to the Twitter screen. I saw her most recent tweet. 

@Maci_Lawrence: its time to go, I know its soon but I know its my time. I love you all. @Louis_Tomlinson..don't miss me too much. x 

Tears were streaming down my face again. I locked her phone and put it back where it was and I got under the duvet and held it to my chest tightly, breathing deeply. I don't even know how I'll be able to deal with this. I'm completely empty! I feel like my heart was ripped out of my chest...I can't do this. I let tears stream out of my eyes and I grab her phone again and click the music icon. I scroll through her playlist and click one that I had never seen before. 'Louis<3'
