Stormies POV
8 days later
I looked in the mirror. The first time I've done my hair and makeup since I lost ross. My black dress went down to my feet, joined with black heels. Mark walked into the room in his suit. "Hey" he whispered. "Hey" I whimpered. He hugged me and kissed my head. "What time is it?" I asked. "11:20. We should go" I nodded slightly "I just need to get something." I walked into ross' room and saw his R5 necklace. I want him to wear that. I picked it up and held it. "Let's go"
11:30
We got to the church before anyone else. The priest was the only one there. The ceremony will be just close friends and family. I walked in and over to the coffin. We were having an open casket. My son looked pale. His black suit fit him perfectly. His hair was brushed neatly but I messed it up slightly so it's a neat-messy style, the way he liked it. His eyes were shut and his long eyelashes looked normal. He looked asleep. I wish he was. I lifted his head and placed the necklace around his neck, putting the pick on his chest. His hands were on his lower stomach, holding onto a red rose. He didn't have his rings on. "Mark. Where are his rings?" I asked. Mark smiled slightly and handed me a little bag. I smiled slightly before taking ross' hand in mine and starting to put the rings on. "The kids are here. I'm going to get them" Mark whispered. I nodded as my husband left the church. I stared at Ross and I gripped his hand for a minute before standing up straight, wiping my eyes and placing ross' hands back where they were. "I love you baby" I whispered, kissing his head. I walked to the picture of him. One of him at Starbucks with a coffee in his hands. I smiled slightly. "Hey mom" I heard. I turned to ross but then the other way where my other children were. I walked over and Riker hugged me. "How are you doing?" I whispered. "Okay. Rocky isn't doing good at all. He hasn't spoke. He's barley eating. He didn't want to come. I had to throw ross in the mix. Mom I'm scared he's gonna do something stupid" he whispered. I nodded before walking to rocky. He looked so sad. Pale. "Baby come with me" I whispered. I took his hand and led him to the coffin.
"Baby. Remember what he told you" I whispered. "I can't live without him mom. It's too hard" he whimpered. "I know sweetheart. But it'll get better" "he was my rock mom." He sobbed. "I know baby. He was mine too"
12:00
Mark and I were standing outside the church talking. Laughing about memories with Ross. A car pulled up in the car park and vanni, savannah, Alexa and Courtney got out. Courtney looked a mess. They all walked over and I hugged vanni and sav and Alexa, all who apologised and told me how much they loved him. Then Courtney, who pretty much collapsed in my arms. "Im so sorry stormie." "Shh its alright. Go and say goodbye honey" I whispered. "I should've been there" "he told you not too. It's not your fault" I assured. She nodded slightly, wiping her eyes. I saw more cars start to arrive "take her inside" I told vanni, who nodded before leading the girl inside.
Next to arrive was my parents and marks father. My mom hugged us both "I'm so sorry" she whispered. I nodded. My dad hugged me "you're doing so well honey" I nodded. Marks dad hugged me "at least he isn't in pain anymore"
Next to arrive was laura, raini and Calum. They all were crying and hugged Mark and I, apologising for our loss before walking in. "Mark I can't do this" I whispered. "Go inside baby. I'll talk to everyone out here" he whispered, kissing my head. I nodded slightly, hugging him and walking inside.
I opened the doors and walked inside, everyone looked at me and I walked straight up to the coffin, where rocky was. I held his hand and looked at him. Tears poured down his face. "I wish we could bring him back" I whispered. He nodded "let's sit down"
12:30pm
Everyone was here. All the casts, directors, friends, family, nurses who he impacted. Everyone. All here to say goodbye to my baby.
