George's pov
Me and Steph where both on the train to London back home we didn't speak because we were both sad and we understood that neither of us really wanted to talk we were both so close to our dad he's use to take us on bike rides and family outings

FLASHBACK
" dad dad look at that big tree we can climb!" I spoke with excitement

" go on then see if you can climb it but George look after your little sister" our dad smiled

" George George look at me I'm a monkey" Steph laughed swinging from the branch

" look I can do that too" I laughed doing the same action

" look here little monkeys a big monkey is gonna come and get ye" our dad tickled us both catching us as we fell off the branch into fits of laughter

" oh you two are a funny bunch" our dad smiled

" we love you dad" Steph spoke

" I love you both too" he spoke

" dad will you be with us forever like till were a billion years old!" I spoke

" of course George I'll be with you two until your a billion trillion years old"

" yay love you dad"

" love you to"

FLASHBACK OVER

but now were both growing older their was no time to do anything like that anymore it was all too late we'd finished childhood and their was no more bike rides and no normal family outings. We got to the house and our dad was sat in his usual chair

" hey dad" I spoke

" hey George how haven't all the girls been chasing you yet my handsome son" he chuckled

" I don't know dad I really don't" I laughed back and hugged him

" and my beautiful little girl how are you" he spoke

" oh dad I've missed you" Steph hugged him as he rubbed the tears away

" don't cry darling your beautiful and beautiful girls are strong just like your mother" he smiled

" I love you dad" Steph spoke as he once again rubbed her tear away

" I love you two darling" he smiled but then closed his eyes his head dropped and the grip on Stephs hand he had was lost

" dad?" I spoke shaking him a little

" dad please wake up dad" I spoke again

" no George no" Steph cried and fell to the floor holding onto our dads hand crying

" he's gone dads gone" I spoke with silent tears rolling down my face

2 weeks later

Stephs PoV

" and where gathered here today to celebrate the life of Mr John Smith he was a great husband friend and most of all a great father we will always remember him Amen" I heard those words that i never want to hear Cian held me tighter than he'd ever held me before Blake and Reece where hugging George and gran was hugging our mum I just stood looking at the coffin in tears I don't think they'd ever stop. It was time for George's speech we all sat down and listened

" I used to always remember going on those fun family bike rides where we'd all use to go on random paths that mum never really wanted us to go on but dad insisted we try something new. You see our dad was always a tryer he'd never give up on something he loved and I believe that he's never going to leave that passion he'll carry that up to the skies and hold it for a billion trillion years we love you dad we always will" George spoke inbetween rubbing tears from his face

" babe it's your speech" Cian whispered
I looked at him and shook my head I couldn't I couldn't speak I didn't want to say goodbye I just want my dad back

" and now for his daughter Steph Smith"

I stood up slowly already rubbing tears from my eyes as I walked up to the stand and took a deep breath looking up to family and friends looking at me

" wow err I don't think I was ever ready to give this speech my dad-my dad he was the one who pulled me through everything without him I don't know what I would of done he was always there for me especially when me and George played monkeys in the trees and I was never quite good at it. I can't believe he's gone I really can't..." I stood their crying as I felt Cians hand pull me away and lead me back to my seat as I just buried my head into his chest and cried as his arms wrapped around me I couldn't do it I'm never going to be ever ready to fully read that speech out

That night

Cians PoV

" babe you need to eat please" Cian begged as I just sat on my bed under my duvet with red raw eyes from crying

" I don't want to do anything" I sobbed

" babe you need to eat your going to get really ill if you don't" he pulled out a chocolate bar from his pocket

" come on you love chocolate just eat one bit please" he snapped a square off and opened my mouth and put it in

" eat it" he spoke as I started to eat it and he formed a smile on his face he lifted the duvet up and joined me as I flopped onto him like jelly and stayed their

" you know my arm has no feeling in it right now babe" Cian spoke

" I don't care your comfy" I simply spoke shutting my eyes as I felt him push me a little so he could rescue his other arm and then he pulled me back in

Cians pov
We'd been laying like this for at least 2 hours now and Steph had fallen asleep which I was glad about Bec it would mean that she wasn't thinking about today's events anymore

" Cian would you like anything?" Dean spoke quietly walking in

" no bro I'm good" Cian spoke

" does Steph want anything?" Dean spoke

" no she's okay" Cian spoke as Dean nodded and went back downstairs

" I just wanna wrap you up wanna kiss your lips I wanna make you feel wanted. I wanna call you mine wanna hold your hand forever and never let you forget it baby I wanna make you feel wanted" I sing softly

" your a really good singer Morrin" Steph whispered

" are you sleep talking?" I whispered back

" no are you sleep talking?" She laughed lightly

" you are sleep talking babe" I laughed lightly

" no I'm not shh stop Dean from doing that" she whispered

" stop Dean from doing what?" I asked confused but laughed anyway

" shh Cian" Steph smiled

" night Steph" I laughed lightly

" night Cian" she fell back to sleep
