chapter 34

"w-what!?" I yelled.

"Lila, I'm so sorry" he said wiping a tear off my cheek and as I was wiping a tear off his.

I hugged him and cried longer

Sam zipped my black lace dress as I tied the bow at the front.

"S-Sam," I said trying not to cry.

"yeah Lila" he said.

"can you put on this necklace he gave me" I said giving him the necklace and wiping away a tear on my cheek.

I lifted my hair up and he put the necklace around my neck I starred at my reflection in the mirror attached to my dresser and glared at the sapphire gem and gold chain necklace around my neck.

I braided a piece of hair at the side of my head and clipped it at the side of my head with a black flower clip. I put some red lipstick on my lips and walked back to Sam.

"you better get ready." I sighed.

"ok I'll be back in a minute" he said and pecked my lips I half smiled and he walked out.

I brushed some gray eye shadow on my eyes, slipped on my red flats and walked out my door.

Everyone was down stairs silently chatting.

Except Nick.

I quickly wiped away another tear and walked slowly down the stairs.

"ready to go" I mumbled.

"yes honey" my mom said taking a tissue to her eyes.

She put her arm around my shoulder but I quickly shrugged away to Sam in his black tux with no tie or bow tie.

I hugged him and cried a little bit.

I again looked at my mom in a long, black, strapless, gown and a bun with curls coming down the side of her face.

I looked at Natalie, Sophie, Alyssa, and Nicole all in short black gowns with black heels, fake crying.

"ok let's go" Sam said pulling me out the door. Sam, Brett, Dylan, Ash and I got in Nicks old car, and Sam's new one. Brett hoped in shotgun and Sam drove. I sat between Ash and Dylan. We started driving and I laid my head on Dylan's shoulder and cried a little longer.

~€'$:&)@,<£}.!

"he was my brother" Sam said trying really hard not to cry.

"h-he, wasn't only that, he was a best friend, a student, a distant son, and in some cases, a boy friend" he said winking at me I smirked slightly.

He inhaled, and exhaled loudly smiluing slightly.  

"Everyone will miss him" he said and wiped away a tear.

He walked back to and sat beside me. The curtain closed for the close friends and family only.

Me, Sam, Brett, and Dylan all went up hand in hand. I gripped Sam and Brett's hand tighter when I seen his silent face lying on the wooden coffin I stared for a moment and finally broke down in Sam's arms.

;!,&@)/?&(<€{>•

"Lila?" a soft whispered.

"yeah" I whispered rolling over

I opened my eyes and Sam kissed my nose. I giggled

"breakfast is ready" he whispered.

"ok I'll be down in a sec" I said and closed my eyes again. I sat up and starred at my oversized basketball tee. Nick's by the smell of it. I closed my eyes at the thought of Nick's name. I quickly got out of my bed and threw on some light blue Jean shorts and a blue, gray, and white thumb length strips shirt that hung over my shoulders but was fairly tight at the bottom.

I brushed my hair and let if flow down my face

I clumped down the shiny, silver stares and the smell of bleach filled my nose.

I walked onto the kitchen to see Brett and Nicole making pancakes, flicking flour at each other lovingly. I smiled to myself wondering why Brett didn't have his glasses, but didn't want to ruin the moment.

"pancakes are done get um while there hot" Nicole yelled flicking more flour at Brett.

"that's not the only thing getting hot on there" Ashton said walking in and rolling his eyes.

Both there cheeks flushed bright red And everyone started eating there pancakes.

About 5 minutes later my mom, Sally, and Ava, bolting in, my mom's arms flailing in the air.

"they are and that's final" my mom said loader then usual

"I-I still don't think it's a good idea" Sally said quietly

"whats not a good idea?" Storm said shoveling a huge bite of pancake in his mouth.

"you guys are going to a real school" she said

Storm choked on his pancake and spit it in the garbage, Noah's mouth hanging open.

"no" Noah and Storm said

"yes" Sally said

"no"

"yes"

"no..."

Before someone kissed me again, I quickly stopped this.

"high school isn't that bad" I blurted out and Brett, Storm, Dylan, Sam, Noah, Ashton, Natalie, Sophie, and Alyssa (the last four just walking in) all laughed at me.

"Easy for you to say" Nicole said eating a bite of pancake.

"at least there not making fun of you for being fat" Alyssa said and Dylan nodded

"or being nerdy" Brett said

"or to quiet and shy" Sophie said rolling her eyes.

"or stupid" Storm said

"or for going to jail" Sam said

"or being a maid" Ashton said

"or gay" Noah blurted put

"or pretty!, wait what?!" Natalie said wiping her hair around, flashing a smile and then starring at Noah.

He covered his mouth and we all starred at him.
