Wild and sleepless,the night for me was restless. Tears and fear were all that I felt.

With the most heaviest heart I woke up to Spencer questioning me, words that were barely making any sense to me.

"Will you please explain this to me?" She threw a newspaper with the headline,"Niall Horan spotted with a mystery girl, is this the end of #Nelena?"

That was clearly me.Spencer had suspicion written all over her face. I knew I had some explaining to do.

"ALEXIS HOW DO YOU KNOW MY IDOL? WHAT WERE YOU DOING?" she questioned.

"Spence, ca-n we not do this now? Don't we-, I have to attend my parents funeral in an hour." I looked down as my eyes flooded with tears.

"Hey," she hugged me.

"I can't.." I whispered.

"You can, they're not gone."
She looked at me.

"They are right where your heart is. Always alive and always with you." She rubbed my back.

I nodded.

I slipped into a black dress, a very simple one.

Austin, My step dad had come to pick us up.

Me and Spencer slid behind on the back seat while I held her hand, and squeezed it a little.

At Church, almost everyone who knew my family was present, making me feel better knowing I'm not alone. Caleb was there too, he dared not to speak.

I walked up to the Altar, where Mom and Dad lay, lifeless in their coffins. My heart was hurting. I was falling weak, I didn't know what wrong I had done to lose them.

Austin, aka Dad held me by my shoulder as I cried.

Soon enough the Mass ended, and it was time for burial.

As all gathered there, the Priest asked if anyone had any thing to say about them. I stood up, and went over facing them.

"Hi- Hi guys, I-I have something to say. I've written a eulogy." I sighed taking a deep breath,"These people..they, They were not only my parents,but my-my everything. My support, my pillar everything. I wouldn't have ever imagined being loved as much as they did. Mom, mom wa- is just the most amazing human being, she taught me to love me. Dad, he accepted me and loved me beyond any measure. I- I can't thank him for everything he did." I broke.

The crowd looked at me with sympathy.

Spencer stood beside me, as they lowered them into the ground.

"I can't believe this is it," I cried on her shoulder.

"I know," She was crying too.

After a whole lot of traumatizing stage when everyone came and gave their condolences, and had left, only Caleb was there.

He looked at me, his eyes showed worry and I could say he had been crying.

"He-hey," he said as he approached me.

"Hi?"

"I'm sorry about what..what happend the other night, I'm only doing it for your sake."

"Its okay, I don't want to talk about it." I walked away, knowing if I stood there any longer I'd be broken once again.

All I needed at that moment was to be by myself.

I rushed home, and for the rest of the day, just locked myself in the room, crying and being a mess.

Niall had called me over 10 times but I never bothered to answer.
