Depressingly beautiful

Saying goodbye

The Funereal. Everyone was anticipating it.

There was a sea of black. There were piles upon piles of tissues. I was actually surprised at the number of kids from school who had shown up, even the ones that bullied. I was most surprised about Colin. Alexis told me about their falling out.

"The friends and family of the dearly departed may now speak."

I was up first

"Hello, and welcome. I'm glad that so many of you are here, and I'm sure Alexis would forgive you all for everything mean thing you said to her. That's thing, isn't it. People will live without guilt or consequences for their action until that person dies or becomes famous. I know that most of you wouldn't care that she cut everyday or cried herself to sleep and wouldn't give a second though about it. Now that she's dead, you feel bad. But death shouldn't be a pity party for all things you've done, it should be a reflection time. Of all things that you have done together. A memory of all the happy times, the inside jokes, even the little things seem so important. Life doesn't seem precious until it's gone. Time just slips out of our hands. But in a sense it's good she moved to a new life, a one without pain or suffering. There are no bullies in heaven, only angels. And heaven has gained another angel. I know that she is now with people that loved her like her brother. And even though the people on earth who loved her will miss her, she is now in a better place. Thank you."

Next was Alex

"Hello. Most of you will say sorry for your lose or that you feel bad. But truthfully you don't, in a few months Alexis will be another star in the sky. And that's ok. You can't feel sorry because most of you don't what it feels like to lose two siblings, both just barely 18. You won't feel the pain or suffering. You don't have nightmares of seeing your brother hanging lifeless or seeing your sister in her child every single day. I'm not mad at you for not feeling what I'm feeling, I just don't want you to feel bad. Saying sorry isn't going to bring back the dead, it will only make their memory live on. I hope that one day your kid will point out Alexis in the year book and ask about her. And you will smile and say what a wonderful person she is. The real person she was under all the lies and rumors and spread photos. I hope you will remember as someone cared more about others than herself."

Then Jordyn

"I remember meeting Alexis in pre-school. We sat next to each other everyday. One day I forgot my crayons and she let me hers. It was one of those really nice 64 piece set with a sharpener. It was such a small thing, but I still remember it because it showed who she was, a loving caring person she really is. And then I'm high school I was such a mean bitch to Alexis. In fact I'm the one who leaked the photos, not her boyfriend. It was only the way to secure my safety. Isn't that sad. I was so scared about me getting hurt I forgot about the people that I stepped on to get there. Cause in reality I was just like Alexis. I was the girl they were going to pick on, the one that was going to cut. I was so scare that I made a fool of Alexis, twice. She had only ever been kind to me. I'm so grateful she forgave and I could spend these last few months with her. She will always be on my mind, and in my dreams. Thank You."

There were a few other speeches from class mates that were very artificial, you could tell. I would rather have a few people here, because I know they would all care and not just feel bad. But I was very surprised with Colin's speech.

"Hello everyone. I know that most of you know me as the kid who picked on Alexis. But I was like Jordyn! scared. In my last school I was a nerd, the person getting picked on. The only thing that would make it better was my girlfriend Alana. I loved her. One day the bulling got so bad she killed herself. The moment I heard about Alexis I knew I couldn't be friends with her because she was special. I thought that if I got to close and the same thing happened that life would be to miserable. I also couldn't stand the thought of being bullied again. And now I regret. I regret not getting to know this beautiful girl. But not knowing makes the heart ache just a little less. I think fear is something that stops is from doing something great. So don't be afraid and just go for it. Thanks."

Wow, I guess I should have heard his side of the story.

After that the coffin was buried and everyone went on with their lives. They graduated high school, and didn't even remember that they lost a classmate. It's sad. The only getting me through its is knowing that Alexis is happy now.
