-Bailey's POV
The funeral was just as I expected. All of our friends and some other people from school along with his family and some of mine were there. Even a couple teachers attended. The worst part? No matter how many people walked up to me and said "I'm so sorry" or "It'll all be ok", I still felt this seemingly endless pain in my chest that was spreading to my stomach. I hadn't eaten in three days and hadn't slept since the night of the accident last week. Every time I closed my eyes, Luke's smiling face followed by the look he gave me just before saying goodbye flashes behind my lids. I was starting to give up, and I was okay with it. As I sat off in the corner of the room, I looked around a everyone's red-rimmed eyes and tear-stained faces. I caught the eye of Bre, one of my best friends, and her boyfriend, Harry. The couple walked slowly toward me, as if checking to make sure I wasn't going to just snap right in front of them. I wasn't sure if I could say I wouldn't. "I would say I'm sorry but I know you don't want to hear that," Bre stated. I flashed her a weak smile, "Thanks Bre. Hi Harry how are you?" "Doing alright considering the situation," he responded, pulling up off my chair and wrapping me in a hug. I bit my tongue to keep from choking on the sob in my throat. I looked over my shoulder to see that the ceremony was about to begin. I wriggled out of Harry's grip to go take my seat next to Luke's brother, Josh. "Hey sis," Josh greeted me with the nickname he and the rest of Luke's family had given me about 6 months into our relationship. He wrapped a comforting arm around my shoulder and I blinked back the tears. I had to stop crying, it wouldn't bring him back. I didn't really listen to the priest talking about how tragic it was that we'd lost Luke, and I didn't even look at Luke's parents as they gave their speeches. When Josh nudged my arm, I knew I had to speak. As I headed toward the podium next to my boyfriend's casket, I had a sudden thought. I grabbed the microphone that no one had used that sat on the podium and turned it on. Josh smiled at me, urging me forward. "Hi. I'm Bailey and I'm Luke's girlfriend," I started, pausing to swallow some more tears. "I was meant to be giving a speech at this funeral but, I had a better idea." Luke's mom nodded for me to continue. I looked to the crowd and was met with a pair of warm, chocolate brown eyes. Liam Payne smiled sympathetically at me and waved with his right hand so that only I could see. I smiled back and finished my explanation. "This song was one of our favorites and I think he would like me to share it with you all."
(Song on the side)
Hello there, the angel from my nightmare
The shadow in the background of the morgue
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Where you can always find me
We'll have Halloween on Christmas
And in the night we'll wish this never ends
We'll wish this never ends
I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you
Where are you and I'm so sorry
I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight
I need somebody and always
This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
Webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head I miss you, I miss you
Don't waste your time on me you're already
The voice inside my head I miss you, I miss you
I miss you, I miss you
After I finished the song, I realized something. He's gone. He's really gone and he's not coming back. I ran from the room, ignoring the worried and sorry glances from friends and family. I didn't even turn around when I heard someone calling me back. When I made it out of the funeral home, I collapsed to the ground in a sobbing mess. I screamed and cried with no knowledge of the presence behind me, waiting. My vision started to blur and I remembered my lack of sleep and the fact that I hadn't eaten. The last thing I saw before my eyes slipped shut were two warm, chocolate brown eyes, filled with something like worry mixed with sympathy, and something else I couldn't quite place.
I'm sorry this took forever guys! Been busy lately :(
