The Unexpected Always Happens

Time to say Goodbye

We get into the car and drive to the cemetery. I look at the cemetery and I see her casket there. We all took a deep breath in and sighed. We get out and made our way to our spot. We didn't have a lot of family but Rhea was loved by many so there was a lot of people from her school here. She also won the hearts of many people from the FBI so they were also here joining us. I see Roland and he was just devastated. Angie comes and hugs me. I smile and she nods. Everyone kept giving us their condolences. We all sat down and the service started. The minister started and it was just hard to focus. Liam was still quiet and it worried me. As the minister was talking all I could remember was Rhea's smile. Her smile could just light up a whole room. Killian grabbed my hand and I held it tight. It is wrong for a parent to see their child leave this world before them. I just closed my eyes and touched the necklace. I couldn't stop crying. That's when I feel a beautiful breeze and for some reason I felt like it was Rhea comforting me. Letting me know that everything was going to be ok. Even though I was heart broken I knew that I had the strength to endure this and be the rock this family needs in order to go through this horrific tragedy. Her friends start to put roses and other things on top of her casket. Liam and Leia go and put a rose. Then Killian and I go up and we put another Rose and we go and sit back down. Minutes pass by and the service ends. We had a gathering back at our place and Angie had left to go and prepare everything. We started to walk to our car when I see Leia still sitting there staring at the casket. Killian sighs. I touch his shoulder. "I'll go get her." He half smiles and nods. I walk over to her. "Come on sweetie we have to go." She shakes her head. "How can we leave?" I sigh and sit down. "There's nothing we can do Leia; she needs to be laid down to rest." She gets up and has a furious look on her face. "I don't understand how you're so calm its almost as if you accepted the fact that Rhea is gone. Are you happy that she's gone?" She screams at me. Those words were a knife to my soul. "Leia..." She shakes her head. "When something isn't right you and dad investigate until you get the bad guys and you don't give up and it seems that for Rhea you and him gave up and she's lying there dead and I don't..." She falls to the floor and starts to sob. "I miss her so much mom." She cries out. I go and hug her. "I know sweetie we all do." "She was going to take me to my orientation for high school, she was going to teach me how to walk in heels, even though I annoyed her she was my big sister, it's just not fair." She hid her face in my neck and continued to sob. "I know sweetie but we will get through this." She nods. "I'm sorry for snapping at you." I shake my head and take the hair out of her face. "It's ok sweetie, now let's go." She gets up and walks up to casket. "Bye big sis, I love you so much." She goes and hugs me and we walk to the car. We get in and I look at Leia and she just had her eyes closed. I look at Liam and he has the same blank expression. I sigh. Killian grabs my hand and nods. "Love you." He mouths. I half smile. "Love you too." I mouthed. We drive off and went back home.
