The Letters

Chapter 5: The Funeral

Alexandra's P.O.V.

Today's the day of Paige's funeral. I've been completely numb for the past few days. She can't be dead. This all has to be a very bad dream.

I'm sitting on my bed looking at a picture of Paige and I that we took a few months ago. She looks happy; she doesn't look depressed but it was all just an act. She got good at hiding her feelings and pretending everything was okay and she was happy when really she was breaking inside until it became too much.

"It's time." My mom mumbles as she walks past my room and walks downstairs.

I place the picture onto my bed and walk downstairs.

An hour later, we're in the middle of her funeral. I haven't stopped crying; neither have my parents or Paige's friends.

People start to read their eulogies but I can't take it any longer. I stand up and run out of the room and collapse against the wall and curl up into a ball as I sob.

A few seconds after I hear someone sit down next to me and start rubbing my back. I don't look to see who it is because I don't really care.

I lean into the persons chest and keep on crying but soon my sobs begin to quiet. I slowly look up and see a familiar boy with curly brown hair and beautiful green eyes.

"Alright this has to be a dream. No way in hell did my little sister kill herself and then Harry Styles shows up at her funeral." I say and pull away from him, resting my head on my knees.

"I'm sorry but this isn't a dream, love. Your sister, Paige, wrote us a letter and gave it to Paul when she was at our concert the other night. I know you don't want to go anywhere right now but the funeral just ended and it's time to go bury her...." Harry says while trailing off at the end of his sentence.

I sigh but nod and slowly stand up and straighten my black dress. Harry stands up after me and rests his hand on my back and leads me out the our car so I can wait for my parents.

At the cemetery

We buried her. It's over. My parents and I stay at her grave while everyone comes over and tells us how sorry they are and what an amazing girl Paige was but none of that is going to bring her back.

I'm not really paying attention to anything or anyone. I just keep staring at the ground until I hear a voice that I do not want to hear. My head snaps up and I see Lucas standing in front of me.

"Alex, I'm so sor," He tries to begin to say until I cut him off.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing here?! You're the whole reason why Paige is dead! It's your fault! How dare you show your face here! I never got to say goodbye to her!! Or that I love her because of you! You are a sick bastard!" I scream in his face and try to say more but a strong pair of arms wraps around my stomach and pulls me away before I can cause an physical damage.

At first I try to fight the person, who I realize is Harry, but then I give up and fall back into his arms and start to cry again.

"I think you should leave, Lucas and stay far away from Alex and her family. You've caused enough damage already." The Liam Payne say to him.

Lucas looks at me one last time and nods then walks away.

After a few more minutes of me crying into Harry's chest once again, and Liam talking to my parents Harry picks me up bridal style and carries me to a big black SUV. He gently puts me in the back seat with him and the rest of the boys. Paul, who's in the drivers seat, asks for my address and I mumble it to him.

In a few minutes we're pulling into my driveway and I'm back in Harry's arms. I dig my key out of my purse and we walk inside.

"Where's your room, babe?" Harry asks me.

"Upstairs." I mumble and he nods.

He walks upstairs and I point to my room. He walks in and places me on my bed and pulls the covers over me after taking my shoes off for me.

He begins to walk away but I reach out and pull the sleeve of his sports jacket and he turns back around to look at me.

"Can you please stay with me?" I ask him in a whisper.

He gives me a small smile and nods and sits down on my bed next to me. I close my eyes and before I know it, I'm fast asleep.
