Him

Funeral & Owen..

Well, today's the day. Yesterday I bought two black dresses. The girls insisted I go shopping with them. They really just wanted me to tell them about Owen.

What was there to tell? Nothing happened. All I did was stay the night with him. No big deal. But to them it's the greatest thing ever. Why? I don't really know. My friends are weird.

Right now I'm sitting in a church. The girls are sitting to my right. Emma is right next to me. She links our arms in a soothing way. It is really sweet of her but I am not too sad. It's only the showing. No sad speeches or memories. Just a bunch of annoying "I'm sorry's."

That's nice I guess.

But really, everyone saying sorry does get quite annoying. I mean, why say sorry? They didn't do anything. And it's not like they could've stopped it anyway. But I am glad that they care.

There is a long line outside. My Grandpa evidently knew a lot of people. He was really great, so I guess it makes sense that there are so many people.

I really feel bad for my Grandma. She is so devastated. I mean, she is standing all by herself right now. I tried to talk to her, all of us did. She said she doesn't want to talk right now. She needs to save energy for when all the people come up to her.

Poor thing.

"Hey Katie, look who just walked in," Emma whispers to me.

I quickly look around, towards the door. Standing there is Owen. He looks really good. Okay, that's not important! I am very glad that he decided he would come and accompany me to this. It really means a lot to me.

I get up from my seat and head towards Owen. As I walk up to him, he smiles at me. It looks like he is happy to see me.

He greets me with a hug. It kind of shocks me when he hugs me but I take it. I'm really enjoying this hug. It's really sweet. I'm very glad that I invited him. Yeah, I know I already said that but I really am.

"How are you doing?" He asks letting go of me.

"Oh, I'm okay."

"Well, I hope that you really are okay and you're not lying to me," Owen says with a grin.

I really loved that grin. Why? I'm not really sure. I just do. It looks so good on him.

He and I walk back towards where I was sitting. He let me go in the row first and then took a seat next to me. What a gentleman.

The girls quickly look towards him and then each look at each other and smile.

"What ever you guys are thinking, it's not funny," I say trying not to smile.

They all laugh.

"You don't even know what we're talking about," Hazel teases.

"Oh, I'm pretty sure I can guess it."

"I really don't think you can," Fiona says.

I just roll my eyes and giggle.

They start letting people in and I end up moving up towards my parents, leaving my friends and Owen in the row by themselves. Maybe it isn't the smartest idea to leave the girls alone with Owen. I'm sure they are pretty much interrogating him right at this moment.

Oh well. He's a big boy. He can handle it.

I stand next to Eli, and he looks at me. I bet he's going to make a comment about me bringing Owen. He is his best friend so it makes sense.

"I can't believe you brought my best friend," Eli jokes as he looks toward Owen.

Yep. I knew he would say something.
