The unexpected Love. (O2L fan fic)

The Funeral :(

When I woke it was 6am and we had to be at the funeral home by 10 and it was a 45 minute drive so we had at least 2 hours and 15 minutes to be ready and that was pushing it. I got out of my bed and searched for my phone in my purse and plugged it in and walked over to Payton and shook her. 

"Hey Pay, it's 6 we have at least 2 hours to get ready. Is it okay if I shower first and you can eat then we switch?" 

"Yeah that's fine." 

"Okay. Don't go back to sleep." 

"I won't." I got off her bed and grabbed the outfit I was wearing and everything I needed to shower. I got in the shower and when I finished I got dressed and put my hair in the towel and walked out into the room and said "Hey Pay the shower is open." 

"Okay. And I couldn't find anything to eat." 

"Okay I'll run out while you shower and get us something. Is donuts okay?" I said trying not to laugh. 

"Ewww!! No anything but those. Please." I started laughing and I said "Okay and I was only messing with you. I'll run to the Jack-in-the-box and get something from there." 

"Okay that's fine." I slipped on some flip flops and grabbed my phone and purse and went to the car. I went and got some food and when I got back to the room Payton was dressed and she said "I was waiting on you so we could do our hair and make-up." 

"Why?" I asked confused. 

"It has always been a tradition to do it. I mean we have done it since 9th grade when you spent weeks at a time at my house when you basically lived with me. I thought we could use some memories today of all days." 

"Oh I totally forgot about it. I'm sorry. Lets eat first then we will do it." She nodded and we ate and after 15 minutes I said "Well we only have like 50 minutes to finish getting ready then we have to get in the car and go." I grabbed my make-up bag and the stuff for my hair and walked to the bathroom. Payton followed soon after and I set an alarm for 40 minutes and we started on our make-up and when we finished I put the moose in my moist hair and then some hair spray and checked the mirror and went back into the room and got my vans and put them on. My phone went off with a text and Payton's did too. 

I looked to see who it was and it was from Sam and it said *Hey babe. I miss you. And I hope today is great I know you are both strong and you can make it through the day. When are you coming home? I love you. And happy 4th of July. Be careful please. I love you* 

I replied with *Thx and I think we will be okay. And we will be getting the plane sometime tonight and I think I'll spend the night at the house then get on a plane and go there. Is that okay?* 

*Yeah that's fine. Call me when y'all land.* 

*Okay* 

*Love you* 

*Love you too* and Payton came out of the bathroom and put her shoes on and my alarm went off. I grabbed my purse and put my phone in it and grabbed the keys and Payton followed and we locked the door and went to the car. 

"Hey check your phone. It went off earlier." She nodded and opened the message and I started to drive. We pulled into the funeral home after what seemed like an eternity and I parked the car. I put my hand on the buckle and looked at Payton and said "Are you ready?" 

"The faster we get in there the faster it will end. I just don't want to accept the fact that she is gone." 

"Well let's get this done and over with. I know you will find someone to talk to in there. You'll be okay and when you get home you'll have Connor and the other boys to comfort you." She nodded and we unbuckled our seat belts and got out of the car. The walk to the door was in slow motion and as soon as the door was opened and we were walking in everything became very real. Out of the corner of my eye I saw some short brown hair that rang a bell and then he turned around and Anthony was standing there and I looked around for Randi and I found her with a little girl attached to her leg. I nugged Payton and she looked to where her sister and niece was standing and ran to them. 

I walked to Anthony and gave him a hug and he said "You've gotten so old." 

"Me old? What are you like 40 now?" 

"Oh God no. I'm only 32." 

"Pretty close." He laughed and Randi, Payton and the little girl who I haven't met walked over to us and I hugged Randi and said "So is this your little girl?" 

She nodded and said "Her name is Sadie." 

"That's a really pretty name." I said. We talked for a while and then we were told to go in because it was starting. We walked down the aisle to the front and sat down. Through the whole service I never let go of Randi's and Payton's hands. There was a ton of tears that escaped between the three of us and when it was over and she was in the ground we still cried and held each other until we stopped crying. We told Randi goodbye and we walked out of the room. We got in the car and I turned it on and drove back to the hotel. When we got to the hotel it was 5 o'clock and we walked into the room and sat on our beds and just stared at each other. 

"Okay so we have to get to the airport sometime tonight. I figured we would go home earlier than planned because I know you miss Connor and the other boys. And I miss Sam. In fact I miss everyone." 

She nodded and said "I do and I know you do too. So I guess we should get packed."
