Uhh as well as performing at the funeral....we (the band) had to each give a small speech....uh so I figured id write them here coz A) we have them written out and B) it may tell you a little bout jake and us.
My speech:
"Jake. Wow were could I possibly start. Uhh Jake honestly was one of the best people ever. He always knew how to keep a situation light and how to make you feel....better I guess. He is the main reason why.....im standing here today. Because time and time again he saved me from myself. He wasnt afraid to let me know if he was pissed off at me...or sad...or disappointed. He let me know. But he always told me "No matter what you do or what you say Rebel. I will always forgive and forget your mistakes" Umm I remember one time when we were like 5yrs old he reached over the table in the middle of a spelling test and gave me the sloppiest kiss you could ever imagine. Shit um he was just amazing.....Umm the last few days my brothers have been giving me shit saying he liked me.....and the truth is I liked him a lot....I just never really had the guts to tell him. Uhh im not really sure what I was even supposed to say in this damn speech but I do wanna say this. Jake you were an amazing friend, brother, son, cousin, bassist, drawer, and pretty much everything else. Thank you for being there time and time again. Thank you for the laughs. The tears. The drunk and stoned nights. And just for being you. I love you Jakey-bear and I always will. Thank you."
So that was my speech and I didn't realise I admitted drinking and getting wasted with him until after. Oops. Now I shall write out alexis's one
Alexis' speech:
"Holy motherfuckin shit. I honestly thought this day would never come. He got me in a fuckn dress people!!! Umm no but really this boy was amazing as my sister said. He was always there for all of us....but especially rebel....ummm he always knew the right thing to say. He never cared if Rebel called him at 2:30 in the morning because she wanted to just cry. Even if it was fuckn storming he would get up and walk to our house just to hug her till she went back to sleep. Like how the hell they didnt end up together is beyond me. Whenever she felt like harming herself he would get a permanent marker and write his name on both her arms. He told her that if she harmed herself then she would also harm him.....and it worked....it always stopped her. He was always either playing bass. Writing songs. Or just chillin. Ummm I just wish I could have helped him....but its to late. Im sorry. Jake you are gone but never forgotten. We love your lil smelly ass. R.I.P bud."
So thoughts?
