Are You Scared Yet? Part Two

ARE YOU SCARED YET?

"Crusin down these abandoned streets on my friend's back. Watching steadily for hungry zombies ready to attack."

*Laughing*

"Where do you come up with this silly stuff Asia?"

"Oh you know just life..." I sighed as the reality of it all began to kick in.

Unfortunately this is how I'm spending my Christmas. Not inside near a cozy fire drinking hot chocolate laughing over who got coal inside their stockings this year.

"Were here..." Jeremy said monotone.

I'm guessing he is irritated?

"Lets do this." I said jumping off his back. "Thanks for the lift."

"You're welcome."

My legs went numb. I hate when this happen... First I get this funny feeling that makes me just want to laugh constantly, but when that ends I feel this sharpness and well that doesn't stop until you feel like you can walk again.

"Actually can I get back on your back?" He was already walking away. "I'll take that as a no."

*Later*

"I can't!" I heard a voice shout coming from upstairs.

I don't mean to be all up in whoever's business, but I can't help passing up a good gossip. Besides I haven't been here for ages... What's possibly new?

*Creeping upstairs*

"Your not my son then!" Smile's shrieked.

*Boom*

I had a feeling that wasn't thunder. I just heard it sounded like bones cracking. What's going on?

"Jeremy?" I walked into the room and witnessed something that I shouldn't have.

Blood covering most of the walls like it was art on display. Then my eyes gazed a little further and there in middle of the room was Smile's whatsoever calm. He irritates my soul and now he was really gonna pay. FOR KILLING JEREMY!

"Aaah!" I screamed scratching at his eyes.

"Oh I'm sorry, did I do something to upset you?" He grinned very big.

I have to do something about that smile on his face.

*Kicks him between the legs*

"Nice try, but I've had a vasectomy."

"You're gonna pay for this!" I yelled before running down the stairs and out of that place.

Ceta, mom, and dad were in the car we all came here in, near the entrance and they were all unaware of why  we're here. Smiles must've already gotten to Ceta to before I made it back. So I did the only logical thing I could think of... Lie. I told them this place was a haunted hotel we checked into for fun. They bought it and once we got home my parents got a call from Jeremy's parents.

*Next Day*

Jeremy's funeral service was held at 5pm. I was still in denial he was dead. Through out the funeral I hoped he would come through those church doors and let everyone know he was okay. My heart feels likes it has been attached to a ticking time bomb. I just can't believe it. Both of his adopted parents are their in the front row of course, accompined by my parents. Jeremy's funeral also made the front paper of are local newspaper, because just about everyone knew him. What was worse, I knew reporters were going to begin asking us questions. Next the police will try to use are information for their investigation. I'm so sick of everything right now. All I want to do is crawl into a dark hole and never come out. What will my life be like without Jeremy? Never have I ever had to face this question, because he always risked and did everything he could for me, but why didn't I do it for him? I mean the only thing I ever did was always try to make him jealous or tease him. Gosh! Jeremy was always seen in my eyes as a patient and loyal friend. I think my life has officialy ended I'm just gonna drop out of school and be a run away. Maybe my parents have had enough of me to. After all they did get a divorce, I had went to Juvie and they gave me bail, then I persuaded them to adopt Ceta as my sister who I really do care for, but I'm not someone to look up to if I can't even learn to fight my own battles. It's always me depending on other people to do this and that. No more of that this ends now! Everyone was real quiet as if they were afraid to breathe, so I stood up in my white dress and went to straight to the podium.

*Whispers*

I felt all the stares coming down on just me, but I didn't care I continued to walk. Finally when I made it up there I just stared off into the sea of faces. They were giving me the okay to talk, but I didn't know how to say  what's exactly on my mind.

"Jere-" My voice cracked and a tear slipped down my cheek.

I'm making a fool of myself aren't I. I began to walk back down to my seat ashamed, but something in my mind told me to go back up there and speak so that's what I did.

*Silence*

"I know you all are hurting and so am I. Each day I wake up I know God isn't finished working with me and each day I wake up I know it is never promised. Today Jeremy Joseph Olson didn't wake up and I... And I want to dedicate a song to him you know... To keep his memory alive." I stopped and balled up my fist to wipe off all the warm tears that poured down my face at this point. "It's called Gone Too Soon. Sing along if you know it. Like comet blazing 'cross the evening sky 
gone too soon... Like a rainbow
fading in the twinkling of an eye
gone too soon... Shiny and sparkly
and splendidly bright. Here one day gone one night... Like the loss of sunlight on a cloudy afternoon
gone too soon... Like a castle
built upon a sandy beach
gone too soon... Like a perfect flower
that is just beyond hour reach
gone too soon... Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight here one day
gone one night... Like a sunset
dying with the rising of the moon
gone too soon..." Crying. "Gone too soon."

*Applause*

*At home*

The funeral ended really late. After me more and more people just kept coming up there and telling stories of how Jeremy affected their lives, which only made me miss him more. I really wish I didn't have to share a room right now, because I don't want to keep Ceta sad either, but I need this time to be by myself and just cry. Throught out the night it rained as if the world was coming to an end... My world was coming to an end, but surprisingly I fell fast asleep.
