Amnesia

Chapter Twenty Eight - 'others like me'

After the Starbucks incident, Wednesday rolled around pretty quickly. Adria became almost like my carer after I told her what happened. I was traumatised.

I woke up to blinding light. I desperately needed to get a new blind in my bedroom. I brushed my teeth and changed into the dress for Maddy's funeral. Afterwards I knocked on Adria's door and she styled my hair into a professional looking up-do.

I slapped some makeup under my eyes to disguise where my acid tears had hit my sensitive skin. Then applied waterproof mascara. I was glad of owning the waterproof kind.

All of Maddy's friends were meeting, then getting a car together to the funeral. I refer to them being Maddy's friends because not all of them were my friends... Anymore. I had become more well aquatinted with other members of the group.

Leah, a short blonde girl who had a massive phobia of spiders. She was bubbly and tended to wear purple. She had brown eyes and often wore no makeup. She came from a family who were comfortable when it came to money.

Grace, a slightly shorter than average height girl who was a tomboy. She was sarcastic and defensive mainly toward other girls who questioned why she never wore skirts or dresses. She had hazelnut hair with natural blonde highlights and dark green eyes. She was poorer than other members of our group but we all treated each other exactly the same.

Kira, a tall girl who towered everyone as if she were a skyscraper.her diet mainly consisted of salad and she was quite thin. She was a real nerd for video games and was really competitive. She had black hair and hazel eyes.

Taylor, who was average height and was a competitive jock. Her and Kira got along quite well as they both loved video games about sports and were really competitive about it. She had slightly ginger/blonde hair and light blue/greyish eyes. Her family were quite rich.

That was only some of them anyway...

We had all met outside a cafe, some people had eaten inside beforehand, others were too hysterical to eat. Others like me. Grace handed me yet another tissue and I blew my nose. It felt like hours before two black cars arrived.

When you saw a car like these in the streets you know someone had died. Every time I saw one I wanted to how my head in mourning. They were jet black and each had five seats. One taken by the driver. So our group was split into two.

Car one:
Hannah
Kira
Taylor
Leah

Car two:
Grace
Charlotte
Lily
Me

In our car Grace sat in the front seat. Charlotte sat on the left hand side seat in the back. Lily placed herself in the middle, leaving me forced to sit next to her. Not awkward at all. I just made sure to blow my nose extra loudly so she jumped each time. Savage.

We arrive at the venue, which is an ancient church. I doubt it is used regularly. It most probably wasn't what Maddy picked as I guessed she didn't count on dying so young, her parents must've picked it. I wrinkled my nose, it wasn't what Maddy would've wanted at all.

Music blared from speakers, old songs Maddy used to hum and sing in public. Not caring what members of public thought. Her voice defiantly wasn't of an angels.however she sang with confidence and I'll give her that.

We entered through the isle that forced its way through the middle of the pews, there was a row for just her friends nearing the front. We looked at people, her family all sat down sobbing, our classmates who were closer than people who just passed her in the hall, people such as Adria. Not her her friends but close enough.

It was then, and only then, that almost as if it was rehearsed all of us walking down the isle looking up. There it was. A photo of Maddy with us. She was smiling, presenting us with her white, strait teeth. Which wasn't as hard to face as the object next to that.

Our closest friend's coffin.

Longer chapter for y'all.
Was Lily's reaction out of order? Or did Vienna deserve it?
Who is your favourite friend in Vienna's squad?
Lily, Charlotte or Hannah? Or do you think Vienna is the best?
I'm saying Adria, because she wasn't in the options and I'm a rebellious child.
Comment what you think ;)
