I got a invitation 3 days later about the death of my best friend. I explained the night I found out about Anna's death to my parents on what happened. Of course my parents showed some concern for Anna's family but it wasn't as if they knew Anna as a friend. I didn't see Justin for them 3 days at school and I wondered if he was going through something like I was.

Today was Saturday and that meant like it meant to everyone else it was time to hang out with friends but it was time to bury mine. I put the black dress Anna yelled at me to buy so I would look my best and I made sure my hair was perfect. Anna deserved that much for me to try to look my best. I made sure to put my makeup on like I use to which was absolutely perfect. I use to try before all the bad things happened in my life. The thing that hurt me the most was when I gave my heart up to a guy name Ryan. I was willing to give him everything until he sheepishly couldn't admit that he was cheating on me. I loved him and he just got some girl who could wear a size zero to sleep with. He was the reason I gave up on love and gave up on life. Besides my pity story isn't what I'm explaining right now to you. I'm explaining the funeral of my most dearest friend Anna.

I got into the car and my mom drove me to the funeral. I didn't really care the name of the funeral to remember the name of it.

"what are you going to say at the funeral,honey?" mom said sadly

" I don t know. I guess whatever comes to my head." trying to avoid eye contact

" I think its best you don't say anything honey. you wouldn't want to depress Anna's parents" mom trying to be honest

" I think its best if you don't give me your opinion mom. This funeral isn't about me or you and I know well enough of Anna that she would want me to say something. YOU WOULDNT CARE IF SHE WAS ALIVE OR DEAD." getting angry

" my bad if I was trying to tell you the honest truth" mom said

" like when you told me my real father had left us because I wasn't something he wanted." I said

" I'm sorry I said that to you" my mom said beginning to cry

"its fine" I said

mom pulled the car up to the side of the building and I got out. I walked in and I sat in the last seat.

Mom was right I don't know what to say at Anna's funeral. I wouldn't load all my emotions on her parents though I knew that for sure. As I look up I see Anna's mom standing over me.

"how are you, honey?" Anna's mom had said

" I should be asking you that. I miss her but your her mom." getting sad

" I'm guessing Anna didn't tell you that we had a lot of problems at home" Anna's mom said

" she ... didn't" I was saying the truth

" I guess she was ashamed of how her family was acting" her mom said looking away

" I think she was proud to be your daughter and what happened in the past is gone" I grabed her arm

"Thank you for saying that" she gave me a huge and went away

Time went by and my part was getting closer. I wanted to say the right thing. It was my turn and I got up. I walked to the colvin.

"Anna meant a lot to me. She meant something no other friend meant. She was loyal and I hope she has fun in heaven. I know she would wish that we would pick up our lives and move on. I know that's what she would want but it's not that simple. Day after day I can say we will get over Anna's death but we won't. You will always be remembered Anna for what you were and what you are. Thank you for letting me be here"
