"Everyone in black and white. Full with hurt, pain, and sorrow. Everyone is crying, including me. Brandon is right by my side. Elijah sitting with Tracey and Vannah with Ant. My mom is up at the mic about to say something...."
"Hello everyone, I'm Danielle Ryan. I'm CC's mothers sister. Which everyone should know. We'll CC was a great girl, no trouble, always on the right path and to lose her at age 22....(she started to cry)it hurts how I lost two people so fast out of my life. Like it just flashed before my eyes, all of ours. I just... I can't I'm sorry." She ran out of the church. I started to cry even more. Then Tracey went up, I told Brandon I couldn't do it.
"Hi. We'll CC is my older sister, even if she's gone she'll always be my olde sister. I love her so much and losing her at a time of need and my twin brother I can't bare it... She isn't here and it feels like a nightmare . I just wish God gave us more time to spend together. I love you Courtney." She walked off and then 20 minuets later the service was over. Everyone came back to my house...
"Who wants something to eat" my mom asked
"Not hungry" Tracey and Ant said at the same time
"Me either" I said
"Babe, you to have to eat something" Brandon told me
"NOO I SAID IM NOT FUCKING HUNGRY" I ran up to my room and slammed the door. I feel so bad screaming at him cause he did nothing to me but....I'm just so hurt. Then heard a knock at my door
"Baby" he said with a soft voice
"... I didn't mean to" he cut me off
"I know, you and everyone is going through a rough time"
"No it's not okay. I shouldn't never took my anger out on you" I went on my tippy toes to hug and he lifted me put and I wrapped my legs around him
"I care about you so much. Don't push me away...please?" He said with so much hurt
"Never..."

"You got everything?" I asked Elijah. He's helping me pack my stuff cause Ant and I are moving in with Aunt Danielle and Monica.
"Yeah babe" I went to Ants room to check on him, but I didn't see him
"Ant?" I called no answer. I knocks on the bathroom door
"Ant!" It was unlocked and I seen him sitting on the floor with pictures of me, him, mom, and CC
"I love you Trace" he said
"I love you too"
"I lost two women in my life, please don't leave" he started to cry
"I'm not going anywhere. I always be there for you. I promise you that"
"Okay"
"Come on and finish packing, Vannah said she's on her way" he got up and we went back into his room. I helped him pack some stuff up.
"I'll take it from here T" I turned and sen Vannah.
"Okay" I gave her a hug and went back into my room with Elijah
"How you feelings" he asked
"Still pain in my heart"
"Will get through this together"
"I know we will" I smiled and kissed him
"Alright let's get all this to your car, and imma put Ant stuff in mine" he said
"Okay" . He helped me with my stuff to my car and Vannah helped Anthony with his stuff to put in Elijah's car. We made it to Aunt D's house, and brought our stuff inside. I'm sharing the room with Monica and Ant has his own room across the hall from us.
"Hey" Monica said
"Hey. Wassup Brandon" I gave him a hug and Elijah gave him dap
"Baby, imma see you later okay?" Monica nodded her and he walked out

Vannah Russo
"Ready to go back to school" I asked him while he was messing in my hair
"No.."
"I understand baby"
"Just wish CC was here" he said
"So do I, she was like a big sister to me. Remember when I was walking home and some boys try to bully me and CC almost punch one of them." We laughed
"Yeah. Oh remember when I got in trouble in school, and she still took me shopping for my new sneakers" he smiled, then it faded and he looked down into his hands. I picked his chin up
"Hey.... She'll always be here. Maybe not physically, but spiritually." I took his hand and intertwined them and smiled. I love him so much
