Close To You (Adommy)

Baby Come Home

Tuesday. . .

Adam's POV:

"Ready Adam?" Asked my Mom as she came into my room. She had a long black dress with a black coat and black heels. I fixed my black suit. It was the suit I was going to wear at prom night. Once I finished with my makeup, I grabbed my things (phone, keys, wallet) and went outside to the car with my family. Even the day was sad. There was no sun. Light gray clouds covered the sky. Dad got in the driver's seat and drove away to the funeral house.

Funeral Home. . .

Adam's POV:

"Dia." Said Mom as we went inside the place. 

"Leila." Said Tommy's Mom who was crying. Our Mom's hugged and they pulled back. Dad hugged Mrs Ratliff too and Neil hugged her too. I smiled a sad smile and hugged Mrs Ratliff. 

"I'm so sorry." I whispered. 

"Tommy got the one thing he wanted." She said. 

"What was that?" I asked. 

"It was you honey." She replied. "Tommy always wanted his life to be spend with you."

"I wish I had been there earlier." I said as we pulled back. 

"When you weren't there, he wouldn't stop talking about you." Said Dia. "He said you were his happiness. You were very supportive and you loved him." 

"I did." I said. "Where's Tommy's coffin?"

"Over there at that room." Said Mrs Ratliff. "I'll guide you to it." I nodded and we walked over to the room. There was a white table with some people talking or sitting. I went up to the table where there lay a brown coffin. My Tommy was lying there peacefully. His lips were parted a little and his eyes were closed. He still had the makeup he had. His hair was perfectly lying on the side it wasn't shaved. I stroked his cold cheek and kissed his cold forehead. 

"Hey baby." I whispered as I started crying. "You know? Its very lonely when you're not here with me. You were my happiness and my light. Now, that happiness and that light is taken away. I wish...it was some kind of fairy tale...like the Snow White story. She's sleeping in a glass coffin and Prince Charming gives her the true love's first kiss to revive her. I want that to be us. I want to just kiss you and be able to see you beautiful brown eyes again. I want to see you smile and hear you say 'I love you' from those beautiful lips of yours."

"Adam?" Said some voices. I turned around and saw Billie, Sutan and Charlie dressed in black. The guys came over and hugged me. I hugged them back. 

"I'm sorry man." Said Billie. We looked at Tommy's corpse. 

"He was my life." I whispered. 

"He's in a better place now." Said Charlie. "He has left this world in peace. Rest in peace Tommy." 

"But how did this happened?" Asked Sutan. 

"Three days ago he died in my arms." I said. "We were watching the sunset and...he went limp in my arms." 

"God that is so sad." Said Billie. 

"Yeah." I said. 

"Boys?" Said my Mom's voice. She had a tray with four cups of what seemed to be coffee. "Want some?"

"Sure." We all said. 

"Thank you Mrs Lambert." Said Charlie as he took his cup. 

"Thanks." Said Billie. 

"Thank you." Said Sutan. 

"Thanks Mom." I said. She smiled and kissed my cheek. 

"Well that was really nice of your Mom." Said Charlie.

"Yeah." I said and looked over at my Tommy. I put down my coffee and for some reason I felt light-headed. I steadied myself on the wall. 

"Are you okay?" Asked Sutan.

"Yeah I think so." I said. 

"The priest is here to say our last goodbyes." Said Mrs Ratliff. We nodded and Charlie and Billie pulled four chairs for us...in front of Tommy's body. The priest started talking and I smiled a small smile. If my Tommy wanted me to be happy, I will make my Tommy proud.
