So today is Doris's funeral. In the two days that Kelly and I have been here  Not only have I been avoiding Aaron at all cost. After that kiss I honestly can't face him nor Kelly. But I've been trying to be there for Kelly during this hard time.

Anyway I get dressed walk out into the living room and Aaron is looking in the mirror above the fireplace tying his tie.

"Hey" he said

"Hey" I said awkwardly.

"You okay?" He turned to me.

Heck no I'm not okay. I kissed my girlfriends brother.

"Yeah I'm fine, why?" I lied

"You just seem off" he spoke. I rolled my eyes.

"Well gee I wonder why" I said shaking my head.

"What?" He asked

"You kissed me, duh" I said angrily.

"Yeah I'm sorry about that. I don't know what came over me" he said

"Yeah" I didn't believe him. But then again he did  just loose his mom. I don't know. It was just uncalled for.

"Look just don't do that again" I say seriously

"Are you guys ready?" Kelly asked from behind me. We both directed are attention on her.

"Yeah" Aaron and I both said

Aaron started out the door. "Kelly?"

"Yeah"

"How you holding up?"

"I'm better" she said sadly

"Good" I say

We made our way to the church. In the car Kelly never let go of my hand. I didn't mind at all.

We pulled up to the church and people were starting to arrive. We got out of the car.

"Beyoncé I don't know if I can do this" Kelly said clinging to me.

"I'll meet you guys inside" Aaron went ahead of us.

"Maybe we should just go" Kelly said trying to get back in the car.

"Kelly relax, it'll be okay. I'll be right with the whole time"

Kelly nodded. "Okay"

We proceeded into the church. Sense Kelly was Doris's daughter she and I sat up in front.

Kelly

As the pastor spoke, I couldn't stop thinking about my mom.

"Oh honey that's all in the past"

"I love you" she closed her eyes and didn't open them.

I squeezed Beyoncés hand at that thought.

" Kelly would you like to come and say a few words" the pastor asked.

I nodded and I let go of Beyoncés hand. And stepped up to the podium.

"Uh I never thought this day would come, I mean I knew it would but I didn't think it would be happening so fast. My mother was a great woman who did everything she could to make sure my brother and I had food and clothes. I don't know how she did it but she did it" I cleared my throat. "When I told my mother I was gay she wanted nothing to do with me. So to make her happy I got a boyfriend and lived a life that she wanted so that she would accept me. But I couldn't do it forever. When I told my mom that I was pregnant she smiled. I know she's gonna watch over her grandchild, but I know now that it wasn't that she couldn't accept me it was that she didn't know if I could accept myself. And  I didn't realize until after she died that this is who I am, and I know she would be proud"

Beyoncé smiled at me and I gave her a smile back.

They buried my mom next to her own mother. It was Aaron's idea. After the casket was in the ground. I blew my mom one last kiss.

Goodbye mom. Gone but I won't ever forget you. I love you.
