"Friends" || G.D. ||

Seven: Funeral

*Authors Note*     So I am thinking about starting an Ethan fanfic but I want to make sure people will read it. I already have the name and storyline and everything but who is going to actually read it???       UPDATE: I already started this fanfic. It is called Savior.

Lynn's P.O.V.

9-year old Lynn looks out of her room to see her mother and father at the kitchen table. A couple of months back Lynn had caught her father making love to another woman. Her father told her not to tell but Lynn brought it up at the dinner table. She had asked, "Daddy, who was the woman in bed with you earlier?"

Her mother looked at her father and asked what has she been talking about. Lynn's parents had yelled at each other until her mom had kicked him out. 

But now he is back with papers in his hand and telling her mom to sign them. To get it over with. 

Lynn ran out of her room and gave her father a hug. She had missed him and hadn't understood why he had been gone. That is when things had gotten out of control. 

He turned around and pushed Lynn so hard off of him that she fell to the ground and landed on her arm. Little did they know that he had just broken her arm. He screamed at her, "You are the reason that we are a broken family! You the reason your mother hates me! You are the reason for everything bad that has ever happened to this family! YOU! ARE! THE! REASOOOONNNNN!" He swung his hand back and slapped her across the face. 

Lynn was crying and holding her arm. She felt the sharp sting of the slap but her arm felt much much worse. She could her the 1-year old Chase crying in his crib that was a couple of feet away. She saw her mother running from the table to her and pushing her father away from her. 

"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW! NEVER COME BACK! NEVER TOUCH ME OR MY FAMILY EVER AGAIN!!!" Her mother had screamed while throwing the signed papers at him. 

The last of her father she had seen was him blaming her for everything that had gone wrong and hurting her and then running away.

"My mom was a mom. But more importantly, she was the best mom anyone could ever hope for. This day wasn't supposed to come so soon but it did. She always gave to others what they didn't have and never once asked for anything in return. She was an amazing woman that didn't deserve what she got. The world is unfair like that. It kills the good ones and saves the bad ones for last. I love my mother and since I am the only blood family she has left, I will continue to love her because she deserves that. She deserves to be remembered. Natalie Marie Matterson, Mom, I love you." I step down from the microphone and walk to my seat.

There are very few people that have come. My mom's parent died in a plane crash and she had no brothers or sisters to speak of. She had only me and Chase to keep her going but they both died. So now it is only me

Of course, my mom's best friend, Lisa, is here along with Grayson, Cameron, and Ethan. Some other people are here that I have heard my mom speak of and some I have met but other than that, it is just me. 

That is how I have felt for the past week. Ever since I was told that my mother and brother died. Chase's funeral was earlier and I spoke as well. He is getting buried now. I can't say that I don't miss my mother because I do but I need to get my mind off of all of this. 

We never got to tell Lisa that Gray and I are together but she should know by now. After the news, we flew up here right away and I couldn't stand to sleep in the empty house that my dead family used to sleep in so I slept in Gray's room and cuddled with him when I couldn't sleep and he let me. Our houses were right next to each other, after all.

The funeral finishes up with Lisa talk about growing up with her and then my mother is carried out into the hearse. We drive to the cemetery and do our thing there. I am the first one to throw dirt on my mother's grave. Then others. Then we leave. I get into Grayson's car and Gray gets in the driver's seat. Lisa, Sean, Ethan, and Cameron goes in Ethan's truck. 

Gray turns on the car and it feels like magic--POOF--we are back at his place. 

I look at Gray as he turns the engine off and he then looks at me. I need to distract myself from all this grief. I look at the house I grew up in. 

Gray's phone goes off and then he tells me that his parent along with Ethan and Cameron went to try to go and eat something.

"Grayson, come with me," I tell him

"Where to?" He asks me

"Just follow," I tell him as I get out. He gets out too and walks around the car. 

I grab his hand and start walking to my house. I get my keys out and unlock the door. 

"Are you okay?" Grayson asks me. 

I walk through the door and he follows me. I let go of his hand and close and lock the front door. I turn around and he is staring at me, confused. 

He is a couple feet away from me. I take a little running start and jump onto him, wrapping my legs around him and kissing him so hard it hurts. I need a distraction and he is going to be it.
