The Tattoo

| Epilogue |

Isaac's P.O.V

Today is the day of Crystal's funeral.

I am standing between Maddox (who is trying to look sad, but is failing horribly and is just looking a mix of smug and uncomfortable) and Carmen.

Carmen is crying her eyes out. Maddox shouldn't have done what he did. I didn't love Crystal. I only took her out because my parents are always complaining about how I never have anyone I'm romantically involved with and all that...

The things is, I'm gay. And I don't want to tell them that. Because I know they're going to disown me. They always have high expectations for me, considering I'm am an only child.

But I didn't know what to do... I love Maddox though. Yes, I'm in love with a complete psychopath. In case you're wondering, Maddox never told me that he murdered Crystal. I just know. I have a feeling.

At the moment, Samantha, one of Crystal's best friends, was giving a speech. I am crying.

A few moments later, the funeral ends. Everyone leaves. Maddox tugs on my arm, signalling me that we should leave too.

"Give me a moment alone. You go to the car first." I told Maddox.

He nodded and left.

I knelt down at Crystal's grave. It's crazy... one moment you're here, the next you're gone. And the craziest part is that Maddox, her murderer, was supposed to be her soul mate.

I sighed. I put the single rose that I was clutching in my hand and put it on Crystal's grave. "You don't deserve this." I whispered.

Then I left.
