I Have A Crush On You?

16.

Silence, everyone is quiet not even a single word is being spoken. The only sound coming is of a dog barking somewhere and rest everything is motionless.
It's my mothers funeral.
I'm sitting with my dad on the right and Jace on the left. I don't feel like I'm here, my body is present but my mind isn't, tears aren't flowing down my cheeks and all I can feel is constant beating of my heart and nothing else, everything is else numb. My eyes are focused nowhere and my mind keeps replaying the phone call that day.
It's been days since we found out about the plane crash. It's been two days since Jace called me and told me mum is no more. It's been two days since I found him with her.
My whole life turned upside down in those two days.
When Jace called me and gave me the news, I fainted and Dylan found me laying on the floor of the corridor. He took me home and I was passed out for almost 3 hours.

****Flashback****

I can hear people talking in my mind, or are they really talking but I can't see them. 
Where am I?
I'm not sure I remember anything. I try to open my eyes slowly and I can see light blocking my eyes. I close them and open them again and I can see Jace looking down at me, his eyes red and it all comes crashing down into my brain.
Austin and his girlfriend.
Jace's phone call.
Mum....
Oh my god.

"Jace," I sit on the couch and I realise I'm home, my home where mum used to be.
"Piper, are you okay?" I turn around to see my friends and Dylan standing there. I just nod my head and face Jace again.
"What happened to mum?" I get up and grab his shoulder but he won't look me in the eye, "Jace look at me, what happened to her?" I shake his shoulder and he looks at me hugs me and starts crying on my shoulder. My heart is beating incredibly fast, I have never seen Jace like this before and this can't be true. I just had a talk with her few hours ago before she got on the plane.
How can it be possible?
"Da-Dad, he called me and told me about her plane, they were supposed to catch the same flight but dad got stuck into the traffic," he is looking at me and I cannot even think about what would have happened if dad also got into the plane," by the time dad reached airport her flight was gone and then he got a call."

Jace leaves the room and I look at Nikkie, she nods and goes behind him. I sit on the couch and before I know it tears are flowing down my cheeks and I can't help but sob uncontrollably. How can she leave us like this? She promised me she would come home soon. I would never get to see her now, never get to hear her voice, never get to hug her. All those conversations we used to have in the kitchen.
"Oh my god" I bury my face into the pillow and someone hugs me, I guess it's Dylan.
"Shh, it's okay" he tries to console me, but I shake my head because it's not okay. I get up head upstairs to my room. I don't want to speak to anyone right now. I just need to be alone for a while.
I go to my room and lock the door and cry myself to sleep that night, dreaming about the lady who is never going to be here to scold me.

****Flashback over****

Dad came home yesterday night and he planned the funeral and everything. He is handling it pretty well. Today morning before arriving here, he told us it's okay now she is in a better place now. He told us he is there, he is not going anywhere and cried a little.

Funeral is over now and everyone is bidding their goodbyes and condolences. There are a lot of people, our relatives and mothers friends her colleagues, dads friends and I see Austin standing at the back. Why is he here? He shouldn't be here. He looks at me and gives me a sympathetic smile and I look away not wanting to look at him right now. He is wearing a black shirt and blue jeans and he looks attractive as ever but I'm not going to show him that now. What he did to me is not fair and I'm not a fool now.
"Jace, can I take your car?" I want to get away from people right now and go far far away.
"Yea sure, but where are you heading?" He gives me his car keys and waits for me to answer his question.
"I'll be home before night." I tell him and he nods, "and Jace, take care of dad." He gives me a hug and I get into the car.

I don't know how long I have been driving but I'm out of the city now and all I can see is trees lining up and a long gravel road, but I keep driving. In these 48 hours what has my life come to, it's like everything was fine one moment. I was talking to mom on the phone, I was kissing Austin and now I have lost the most precious gem in my life. She was my diamond, she made my life shine. She was the one who always supported to me no matter what, and now there is this hole in my heart which she left and no one will ever be able to fill the space in there, ever. I park the car and get out, it's very quite and cold.
I'm in the middle of nowhere but there is water and some big rocks. I make my way towards one of the rock and sit there and look at the sun who is slowly hiding behind the horizon just let moon take over the world. I read this somewhere 'sun died every night to let the moon live.' Stupid people and their stupid philosophy. I wanted silence and it's so quite here the only sound is of the waves crashing through the rocks. Sometimes when I need silence, noise helps.
I feel someone sitting besides me and when I look, she is there.
My mother is sitting besides me beautiful as ever. Her brown hair covering her beautiful face and she is looking at the sunset with a smile and I'm looking at her.
"Mom" I reach out to touch her cheeks but I can't feel anything, she looks at me and smile.
"You can't touch me Piper, you are imagining me in your head but I'm here." She laughs.
"Why did you leave us?"
"Sometimes the people you love the most and the people who love you the most will leave you."
"But why?" When did she turn into a philosopher.
"Because, to make you understand how to live your life with yourself." She looks at me and her face is glowing.
"I miss you," a tear rolls down my eyes and she wipes it but I don't feel her hands against my face.
"I'm not going anywhere darling." With that she disappears and I close my eyes and let the tears roll down.

I'm in my room cuddled up within the blankets, watching re-run of friends, it's been a week since the funeral and I'm in my room not getting out and not attending college. My friends called to check on me and I told them I'm fine after that my phone is switched off. Dad is at office and Jace is at the hospital and I'm all alone at home.
"Piper, I'm coming inside you are not naked right?" Dylan's voice comes through the door.
"Dylan, go away I don't want to speak to anyone right now."
He is been home more often, I guess for Jace but what does he want right now? Jace is not home.
"Jace isn't home" I tell him.
"I know"
"Then why are you here?"
"Will you open the door or I can break it." As I get up to lock the door he turns the door knob but I keep my hands on the door to keep it from opening and he is pushing it open from the other side.
"Dylan I swear to god" he is so annoying oh my god.
"Open the damn door Piper" he pushes the door hard and if he puts more pressure I'll slip for sure.
"Can't a fucking person cry in peace?" I shout and press my hands on the door. If this thing breaks he is paying for it that's for sure.
"No you can cry with me." With that I give up and take my hands off. He trips inside the room and looks up at me with grinning like an idiot he is. I shake my head and go into the bathroom.
"If you lock yourself in the bathroom I'll co-"
"Will you keep it, I'm going to change." I slam the bathroom door shut and hear him laugh.
Asshole.
