It's my secret (a Ross Lynch/R5 fanfic)

Chapter 86

LAURA'S POV

"I'm ready" I sigh to Riker and Vanessa. I pull my black dress down a little bit, tugging at the halfway length sleeves. I leave the room that would have been mine just 4 weeks ago.

"Okay, all the guests are here" Riker says. I nod and we start to make our way to the garden. I see the coffin open, I see my mother's face. She looks so beautiful in her slumber. She holds white lilies in her hands. They were her favourite flowers. She wears the locket that has the picture of her dad on one side, and me and Vanessa as young girls on the other. It glints brightly in the sun and my hands shake as I bring my fingers to it. I gently wrap my fingers around it when suddenly I feel somebody's hand on my back. I jump slightly and the locket fall from my fingers back onto mums chests as I see who it is. It's Vanessa.

"You should keep it." She says quietly.

"No, I can't." I tell her shaking my head no.

"She gave me this." Vanessa says. She holds up a silver charm bracelet, one that hold charms that are many years older than us.

"She told me to give you the locket, she didn't want to give it to you in front of anyone, but we haven't really had time together alone." She explains to me. She light holds the locket between her fingers, in a similar way to mine before quickly pulling it off from around moms neck. She looks at me, her eyes filling with water. I hold my hair up and turn around as she puts the locket around my neck. I see a bright flash and stumble slightly, almost tripping over but Riker appears from nowhere like a vampire and manages to take hold of me, and I see another flash. I notice Ryland has a fancy camera around his neck and a cheeky grin on his face.

~flashback~

Mom sits on the bench holding me close in her arms as I cry. If being famous meant I would be both bullied and cyber bullied then maybe I should just quit. She rubs my back soothingly as I lay down onto her lap. She hums the melody to a tune I've been familiar with since I was born. Suddenly, just as I am about to close my eyes, I see a flash causing me to fall off the bench.

"Damiano!" My mother scolds him as she holds out her hand to help me up.

"Relax Ellen, it's good to be out in the green" he jokes taking another picture of us.

"Dami, now is really not the time!" She says gesturing towards me with her eyes. I think it's cute that they think we don't notice them.

"Laura honey, are you alright?" Mum asks. I nod with a grin on my face and pull myself up. I run over to dad and playfully smack his arm, he holds his arms out and I hug him tightly. He gestures for mum to join us and the three of us hug. Vanessa walks into the garden with a frown in her face.

"You've always loved Laura more!" She pretend to pout.

"Let's go out for Pizza" Dad grins as we all cheer.

~end of flashback~

"Im so sorry girls, I didn't mean to make you cry!" He panics. I shake my head no and wipe my tears.

"It's nothing" I say. Vanessa nods in agreement and we both burst into laughter and tears at the same time, it's a crazy feeling.

"Gosh, I promise I won't take pictures of you again! I promise!" Ryland says taking the camera off from around his neck and placing it on the table.

"It's okay" I tell him. I sit down in my seat as the funeral goes on. When I'm asked to come up and make my speech, I rush up and say everything I had practiced.

After the funeral, I help the catered save the food. All of the relatives and family friends are here but I haven't spoken to anyone. I know it's impolite of me, but I can't speak to anyone but Riker and Vanessa before bursting into tears.
