Shawn's P.O.V.

Today was Charlotte's funeral, I've been dreading this day for the past three weeks. The other guys came and about half of the school. It was a nice setup they had roses all around. They were her favorite flower. Nick sat in the back corner. He didn't bat an eye. It was finally my turn to speak.

"My name is Shawn Mendes, I didn't know you could love someone so much until I met Charlotte Rose Jones. She was my other half, my Rosie, my best friend. She kept me going, without her I wouldn't be where I am today. She made the day brighter and easier. She made me so happy. They say love is hard to find I'll never meet anyone as amazing as Charlotte." I paused and took a deep breath I looked up at the now cloudy sky. "Charlotte if you can hear me I love you! You will always be my best friend! No one deserves this! It should've been me. The tears streamed down my cheeks almost like a river. I'll never forget the difference you had on my life and everyone else's. It's not goodbye Charlotte it's a see you later. I love you so much Char. I stopped as a drops of rain soon began to fall on my paper.

I watched as they slowly lowered the coffin down into the ground. Everyone else except for me, Cameron, Nash Mr.Jones had left. I sniffed it had poured down rain for a good hour. I sat down in the swampy grass, the wetness from the ground began to soak through my pants. I didn't care I just needed to be close to her.

"I wrote a song for you Char." I sighed

I promise that one day I'll be around,I'll keep you safe I'll keep you sound, right now it's  crazy and I don't know how to stop or slow it down.Hey I know there are some things we need to talk about. And I can't stay just let me  you for a little longer now take a piece of my heart and make it all your own so when we are apart you'll never be alone.

"I love you Char!" I said standing up and walking away not daring to look back at my now buried best friend.




















Charlotte's P.O.V.

I shot up a light blinding me.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa Charlotte lie back down! You took a lot of damage in the accident!" Shawn said pushing me back to the bed.

"Shawn! I'm alive!" I screamed wincing at the pain in my head

"Yeah Why wouldn't you be? I mean you were in a coma but you were expected to come out." He said slowly shaking his head.

"No Shawn you don't get it I had this strange dream that I died and you spoke at my funeral and rained and you sung to me when I was buried and and and Oh My God were are Nash and Cameron! I yelled

"Charlotte slow down they are out in the other room! Just calm down okay!" Shawn said hugging me "I'm just glad you're okay. He smiled and walked out the door.
