My Perfect Little Family

Chapter 24

Chapter 24

The day Andrew died, was the day my world crashed down. Andrew's mom and Sean  was devastated, but who wouldn't if they just lost a child. Andrew was later rested out in the house, I didn't speak to anyone for days, I locked my self in my room till the day of the funeral. I was chosen to speak for him. 

The day of the funeral was horrible, I dragged my self out of bed and got dressed, I put a little bit make up on my face, I put my hair in loose curls, and then I headed down to the car, I put my phone on silent and read over my page I was going to say at the altar.

I stared out of the dark tinted window, everything passed me like a blur. We arrived at the church and the funeral started, I had Justin by my side. Andrew's picture stood there, beside his coffin, he looked dull in that picture. (Picture at the top)

'I would like to invite Andrew's best friend, Madison, up to read a speech for Andrew.' The priest said. I swallowed and made my way up to the altar. I looked at Andrew's coffin before walking to the mic. 

I lowered the mic and looked at everyone that attended his mass. 

I opened the peace of paper but i stared at the scribbled writing, I scrunched it up. 

 'My name is Madison and Andrew was my best friend for 7 years. He was more like my older brother. We had many experiences during that time. We laughed, we cried, we fought, and laughed again. I can go on for hours talking about the kind of person he was but, I think many of you here already know. Andrew was the friendliest, sweetest, most comprehensive, and humble person I ever met in my life. Always worrying about the welfare of others. I have written a poem for Andrew. 

 Andrew, 

  Today is the day you will be laid to rest,
But you know what they say,
God only takes the best.
Everything happens for a reason,
Even if we may not agree.
Just promise to look after us,
And if you can,
Save a spot up there for me.
The thought of never seeing you again brings tears to my eyes,
And even more so,
Because all of this was such a surprise.
But we should never question what God has planned,
Sometimes it's not meant for us to understand.
So as we sit here and mourn the loss of a beloved friend,
We have to keep telling ourselves that we will meet again.

- Madison. 

Thank you all for listening, and I hope Andrew is listening to, because I will forever, In my heart love you Andrew Campbell.' I wiped the tears that streamed down my face, I looked at his picture once more before walking of altar. 

'Thank you Madison, that was lovely' I heard the priest say. I sat back down beside Justin and he held my hand. 'Has Jack text you back?' I shook my head, I texted and rang Jack and told him that Andrew died, but he never got back to me, nor rang me back. Where was he when I needed him on day like this? It was like he didn't care.

The mass ended and We all drove to the graveyard to put him to rest. I couldn't stop crying, I didn't want to put him in dirt. Justin wrapped his arms around me and I lay my head on his shoulder. 'You okay?' He kissed my head. I shook my head lightly.

'I shouldn't have to say my last goodbye to my best friend, I shouldn't have to bury him. None of this should be happening' I said as tears rolled down my already stained cheeks.  'And to make to make it worse, Where the hell s Jack when I need him?' I got angry. Justin tried to calm me as I was mouthing Jack off. 'Who doesn't answer there girlfriend texts and calls about her best friend that has just died?'

'Shhh, Madi I'm here, I'm here for you. Just Calm down Madi, shhh.' he stroked my hair. Justin intertwined our hands. I studied some of his tattoos and he actually looked good in a suit. 

Everything about today was just perfect because Justin was there, he was the one there for me, not Jack.
