I seriously did not know what to do at this point.

The machine indicating that Justin was..I can't even say or think about the word.

We all started crying our eyes out. I reached through the nurses and doctors' bodies and grabbed Justin's hand.

It was still warm. Normally when someone ..... they become cold.

I was crying really hard and loud that probably the floor downstairs and below that could hear me.

I took who's hand in mine and kissed it softly. The doctors and nurses turned to go into a corner and that's when I stood up and placed a firm kiss on Justin's lips.

I can't believe this is happening.

Gabby grabbed me and hugged me tightly crying....hard.

"Oh my god. " I whispered in between sobs.

The doctors came up to us telling us we had to leave the room, and we took one last glance at Justin before walking out.

Gabby was still hugging me when her mom came by us.

"Oh my what happened?" she asked worry filled in her eyes.

Gabby couldn't form words so she just pointed towards the door. Her mom went up to it and looked inside.

As soon as she turned around, she started crying hysterically. Since Gabby was still hugging me, me doing to same, Savannah just hugged her.

"He's...gone. " She whispered.

Me and Gabby started crying even more as people hurried in the room with a gurnie.

Moments later, as we were still crying, they came back out but there was a black bag with a body in it. I already knew who it was.

I then realized I left my stuff in the room.

As I was still crying, I went inside and got my stuff. My jacket fell and as I went to pick it up, tears falling onto the white tile floor, I noticed a folded piece if paper.

I picket it up and unfolded it. It look like a note, addressed to me.

I sat down on the bed that Justin was previously occupying and started reading the words written,

Dear Arianna,

I know it will take me forever to give this to you but I'm writing it anyway. I finally found the right words to say and since I can't say them to your face, I wrote them down.

Let me start by saying that I've changed because of you. Out of the months we've been dating, I've been experiencing strong feelings for you. You helped me when I was stuck and I've done the same. I just wanted to tell you that you are perfect. You may have your flaws, but to me, your absolutely perfect. Your beautiful, you have a amazing personality and what brings me joy is when you smile at me or laugh when we talk, sometimes when I say something stupid or I embarrass myself. I don't know how long it will take for me to say this to your face, but I want you to know that I truly love you. I never thought I was gonna have the courage to say, this now I do.

I love you Arianna.

Love, Justin.

By now I was full on crying. He loves me. He used to love me.

I never told him that. Yes I did. While e was in the coma. But for some strange reason, I sensed he heard me. I mean the doctor did say that he can hear us talking to him but he can't respond in any way.

I looked down at the paper and saw it had tear stains.

I do remember Justin having a piece of paper in his pocket and he did bring up he wanted me to see and read something but he never had the courage to. Like it said in the letter.

"Arianna.." Gabby is at the doorway

I start full on crying as I continue to look at the letter. Gabby looks at it and she cried harder.

*****

So today's Justin's funeral.

After Gabby read the letter, we cried for another hour then left the hospital helping her mom plan his funeral.

Just thinking about it seems like someone is stabbing me in the chest.

I checked my hair before going downstairs and outside to my mom who was waiting in the car.

Once I got in, I saw Gabbys moms car pull out of the driveway. We followed them to the funeral home.

I kept the letter in my bag ever since the day at the hospital. As we filed into the entrance of the cemetery, I felt my eyes sting with tears.

My grandmother and grandfather were buried here. I loved them to pieces and they did too. They in fact, loved me more than Brooke and Daniella. My grandmother told me that when I was at her house.

It seemed like I only helped her around her house.

As we pulled up to where Justin was going to be buried, I noticed something.

I started crying and my mom looked over to me.

"Honey it's going to be okay. " She said rubbing circles on my back.

"It's not that mom..grandma and grandpa are buried the aisle right behind where Austin is being buried. My mom looked in that direction and her eyes turned glossy.

We finally got out of the car and joined where Justin's family was. Gabby gave me a hug and a reassuring smile.

As everyone started to leave, crying I made my way over to my grandmothers and grandfathers stone. Their pictures were on top. And there was a dent on it because my grandmother told me, my sisters, and my mom that when her and my grandpa died she wanted to be in the grave with him and she wanted their picture from when they got married plastered in the middle.

My grandma died first so her picture was placed and when my grandpa died too, my mom went through a lot to get the picture off and the wedding picture on.

I cried thinking about all the memories.

When I looked up, about two or there aisles down, I could see a familiar name written.

Styles.

I got up from my crouching position, and walked towards the stone, right smack in the middle was a picture of an old man smiling.

I knew that it was Harry's grandfather because he mentioned his grandfather passing away.

I pushed the thought of Harry away and started walking to my moms car.
