I meet Jack outside of my house and give a smile at him.

"Thank you so much for coming Jack." We give each other a hug. Today's the day. Tuesday. My grandpa's funeral. I'm not looking forward to this. My dad and mom's family and friends are all going to be there. So much crying and 'Sorry for your loss'. At least Jack came. He's amazing, and look so handsome in his black pants, black converse, and black collared shirt with the sleeves rolled up halfway.

"No problem Sammy." We pull apart and he holds my hand. "You look beautiful by the way." I smile as he says that, then I look at my black dress, black flats, and black cardigan.

"Thanks. You look really nice." I say as we both chuckle. My mom beeps at me, meaning that it's time to go to church I nod my head at her as she leaves in her car.

"Come on, let's go." Jack says as we walk to his car and we get in, following my mom.

We arrive at the church and get out of the car, holding Jack's hand again as we stand next to each other going inside the church. We sit in the front row, Jack on my right and my mom on my left side. Everyone stands up as the men bring in the coffin. A tear runs down my cheek as it passes the front row and gets set on the table. My grandpa is actually in there, I say in my mind as everybody sits back down. I rest my head on Jack's shoulder and hold his hand a little tight, many tears running down my cheek. The ceremony/church thing officially starts.

The coffin gets place gently into the ground, and half of everybody who came begins to cry, some crying out loud like my mom. I put my hand on my mom's shoulder since she's in front of me. I bury my head into Jack's chest and started to cry when he put his arm around me and turned me around to face him. After about 25 minutes, it was time for people to say a few words. Some of the members of my family went, and then it was my turn.

"Patrick Hawk was not only an loving person, but he was my grandpa. He is a very kind, loving, thoughtful,original and generous person, and I love him to death. I never thought this day would come so soon. But here we all are, at his funeral. He would always make me smile whenever I needed one." I swallow as my tears start to fill up. "But Patrick is in a much better place now. I'm happy my grandpa is in a better place, but I'm very sad he had to leave all of us." I pause. "But god just needed another angel." I force a weak smile on my face and step out of the center of the circle everybody formed, and I go back to Jack.

"You did amazing Sammy." Jack says to me as we hugged. "It's gonna be okay." We pull apart and I nod my head at him. I look around and then to Jack.

"I'll be back. I just need to take a walk." I let go of Jack's hand as he nods and I walk away from the group.

After walking for 10 minutes, I finally can tell that I'm alone. I drop to my knees and look down at the grass. I begin to cry out loud and pull out pieces of grass, throwing them around. I let out a scream, pulling bigger pieces of grass.

"Grandpa! Why?! Why you!?!" I scream out loud, as I look up at the sky and go back to throwing grass pieces.

"Please, come back! Come back!" I yell out loud as I put my hands on my forehead multiple times, sliding my hands down my hair. Then I hear some footsteps while pulling the grass.

"Sammy! Sammy stop!" Jack says as goes on his knees and he holds my hands down before I grab more grass. Tears keep coming out of my eyes nonstop and I look at Jack.

"Why did he have to go Jack?! WHY?!" I bury my head into his chest and keep crying, then he puts his arms around me.

"I'm not sure Sammy. I'm not sure." He replies as he hugs me tightly.
