Mikey's POV

Three days have past since the funeral, and like I expected a social worker came by to my house, telling me that I could live with Jackson until I turn 18. Surprisingly, Jackson and his parents where excited about having me living with them.

Today, me, Linden, Raegan, Bryce, Jackson, Tyler and Justin were packing everything in the house in boxes. Jackson and Linden where packing up the kitchen and hallway, Justin and Raegan where packing up the living room, and Tyler was doing both of the bathrooms while me and Bryce had my room, my parents room and Grace's room.

I stood in front of Grace's room door not wanting to go inside. Going into my parents room didn't seem so hard anymore, but Grace's room, I felt so bad for even putting my hand on the handle. Bryce stood behind me, holding a few boxes.

"Can you open the door?" I softly asked Bryce. He nodded before opening the door. Instantly, I smelt the scent of Grace's room when I stepped inside. Her room was still the pink colour with patterns, which she drew herself all over the room. Pictures hung in a heart shape on her wall, usually the picture would be of her friends, but the pictures where of me and her, and a few with Bryce and Melissa when we were younger. I smiled as I began to dismount the room.

Taking everything down in her room, and packing it all in boxes, it didn't seem like I was giving up her memory, it felt like I was finally closing up that part of me. The orphan part of me. Of course, I will always love and remember Grace and my parents, but knowing the three of them and the types of people that they were, they would hate to see me stuck in one place. They would want me to move on, and I know with the help of my new friends, thats possible.

"What about this Mikey?" Bryce held up a wooden guitar that Grace had gotten off of our parents for her 18th birthday. I took the guitar, sitting on her bed, looking around at her now empty room. My fingers softly strummed the strings of the guitar, softly playing one of her favourite songs. Bryce sat down beside me, while everyone else gathered around the door frame.

I smiled at all of them as I strummed the strings a little louder. Raegan smiled, coming into the room, sitting down cross legged in front of me and Bryce.

"Don't close your eyes, dear, don't you be nervous," Raegan sung, filling the whole room with sound as everyone else joined Raegan sitting on the ground.

"You put this hold damn place in a spell
I see your friends here, and some of them jealous
'Cause they know this love don't come off the shelf

I saw your mother, she looks so beautiful
Remember when she didn't think I would stay?
But all of those late-night, broke-as-hell dinners
Led us to where we're standing today

I'm feeling time move slow
I'm seeing faces glow
None of them shine as bright
As you tonight
I'm hearing voices hush
There's no one else but us
Darling, there's so much love
Under these lights
If it's okay, let's just have the time
Of our lives," Linden joined in with Raegan, along with Jackson adding harmonies. I teared up, but continued playing the song.

"I saw your father, he wouldn't talk to me
Till he could tell that I was here to stay
But all of those awkward short conversations
Led us to where we're standing today," I smiled, joining in along with Bryce and Tyler.

"I'm feeling time move slow
I'm seeing faces glow
None of them shine as bright
As you tonight
I'm hearing voices hush
There's no one else but us
Darling, there's so much love
Under these lights
If it's okay, let's just have the time
Of our lives
