Gang Leader | jmb & rjs

Chapter 27

Maggie POV

"Matt, my cousin who I always considered my brother, someone i'm sure we've all come to know as a wonderful man. He died young, far too young but doing it for the people he loved. He'd always try to be the hero of the story. Little did I know until I came here he was a hero for me he just kept his suit hidden. Thank you, thank you Matt for all you've done" I finished off my speech at the funeral

I still cry, i cried during my speech. I didn't realize how close everyone was to him until I had heard their speeches.

What surprised me the most was when Joey started talking about him. Matt had helped Joey through his depression and had stopped him from killing himself. Now I know why Joey had cried. He had described Matt as his rock. Matt kept him sane. While Joey spoke about the depression and his close call to death he avoided my eyes, unlike the whole speech where he never once left my eyes. As Joey came to sit back down I held his hand until I had gone up for my speech.

The funeral was beautiful. Im sure Matt would love knowing that this is his celebration of life. I think the whole gang house was here. Everyone wore black. It was a formal event, I wore a black dress that ended an inch or two above my knee. I wore a jacket over as it was cold out.

Getting into the car it was just Joey and I. Joey never let's me leave his side.

"Maggie?"

"Yeah?"

He didn't say anything he just cupped my cheek and crashed our lips together. We hadn't kissed since the old gang house and I think i kinda missed his lips on mine. Our make out ended as we needed to catch our breathes. His forehead leaned against mine as we did once he regained his breath he gave me a quick peck and started driving off. He held his hand on my upper thigh the whole time. I just Leaned my head against the window and looked out as raindrops started to fall. Well that was fun as a funeral can get.

As we neared the house we noticed cars packed around.

"Fucking hell, again? I swear. Remind me there's a fucking mole in the house when I come back. Hide under the seat, if you need it here's a gun" He said the last part looking at me cautiously putting gun on where he previously sat, getting out the car

"You don't have to use it, just shout or scream and i'll be here in no time but if you have to, it's here" He said knowing i'll be scared

"Let me go fuck up some bitches" He spoke in a weird voice knowing it would make me laugh

which it did. sort of.
