The world keeps spinning as if i was never born. i had a few calls from Keaton, but i put them to voice mail. i just laid in my bed and haven't moved for the past week. Steve and Kevin tried to question me. i told them as much as i coudl speak and then i bawled my eyes out crying and locked my bedroom door. is it even worth it going on? especially when five, six, seven lives are on the line? The cops have found nothing, the scene was wiped down clean.

everything looks like black and white to me, gray and dull. aunts, uncles, cousins and friends came to the church to say their final goodbyes. i was in line by the casket in between Kevin and Steve. i wanted to run and hide, it was my fault. tons of people came to hug and kiss us on the cheek. finally i saw Keaton, Wes and drew walk up, shake Kevin's hand then each gave me a hug and then shook Steve's hand. As the service continued i began to feel heavy and had to sit down to calm down. Here i am lord began to play on the speakers and tears flew to the ground as i watched the casket roll down the isle and into the hearse. it was slow motion, but over in an instant. i can picture his beautiful smile and the laughs we shared, every moment.

sitting in the limo, following the hearse and taking Justin on one last tour of his home town and past his home i tried to not make eye contact. it was silence. i was waiting for Justin to get in the limo at every stop we made. but he never poked his head in and said "Hey guys! yeah that! i was only kidding! i'm fine! HA HA! GOT YOU!!" i'd rather be mad at him for a day rather than never again.

they now put your casket on top of the hole Justin. they're just holding it there as we said a few more prayers. we all put carnations on the top of your casket and shed some tears until the priest helped us pick our heads up. dam, dam, dam, what i'd do to have you here. thanks Avril for the right words to always say. people started to leave one by one, family by family. until it was just Kevin, Steve and i. we finally just watched them put the casket lower and lower in the ground and cover it over with dirt. i finally made myself accept the fact he's gone.. forever. i picked up a handful of dirt and threw it in and watched it drop eleven feet down. i turned to walk away and walk around the graveyard to blow off some steam. i looked up hearing someone sobbing sitting infront of a stone. i hid behind a bush beside a moselium. it watched it was a girl she looked alittle older than me.

"hey come on! stop crying shes been gone for years!" i jumped and ducked lower to look at who it was. this man put his arm on her shoulder. he was in a long trench coat, but never faced me. i stepped on a branch right when they were walking out and the girl looked. that's when i noticed who she was. she had marks all over her face and band aids. i guess i flipped her pretty hard.
