Later that night we flew to Phoenix for Cindy's funeral. When we arrived in Phoenix, everything felt like we didn't belong here anymore. It was different then we first lived here. Things have changed so much in just a few years. During this time, I was in Canada trying to get used to everything so different...anyway...back to the story~ When I got to the funeral I walked around. Seeing a lot of familiar faces around me. Finally I saw Mrs. Janssen. I went up to her and said,
"Hi Mrs. Janssen." She starred at me trying to smile. Looking at me crying, I began to cry. I could feel the pain she had because Cindy was her only child. I went up to Mrs. Janssen and gave her a hug. This moment was very disappointing to everyone. Cindy was a very special kid. She would brighten everyone's day up in so many ways. If you can picture this, your best friend dead. You would know how I felt. No one knew this would happen. But somehow it did. The Janssen family was very spiritual Christians. They were the family that led my family in to Christ. Without them i wouldn't be here today. After talking to Mrs. Janssen, in the corner of my eye I saw my other friend that went to school with me in Phoenix. She moved to Canada 7 months before I did. I ran up to Taylor Smith and gave her a hug. A Caucasian family adopted Taylor. Taylor's Asian parents died when she was only 5 years old in a car accident. Ever since then Taylor had never talked about her parents again. For her to come to this funeral today was a big challenge. Facing another death of a family, and now of a close friend, totally changed her. Taylor and I walked around and started talking... After an hour of just meeting people the pastor finally started to say a few words. Then we prayed. As we were praying I could hear voices in my head. Voices of Cindy. It made me think. Why didn't she tell me that she was almost dieing? But I guess their is nothing I can do about it anymore. After the prayer, one by one people knelt down beside the coffin and placed flowers on top. Slowly the line went by until it was my turn. I slowly knelt down and prayed. After that I said softly," I will always remember you no matter what. You will always be my best friend form the beginning to the end. I will miss you a lot. But no matter what, we will always stick together." I stood back up and ran over ot my dad. I hugged him tightly. Crying. He whispered," I know this is very sad but it's okay, as long as you believe, Cindy will always be with you. But in your heart." I slowly looked up in to his bright blue eyes and smiled. He knelt down and gave me a tight hug. Slowly we walked to the car and left. On the drive back to our hotel, it was dead silent. Arriving at the hotel, I jump out of the car and get my diary. I begin to slowly flip through the pages thinking back to all the great memories we had together. I finally got to a blank page and began to write:
Dear Diary,
Today was a sad sad day. I really want to know why this happened. But I know that every will have to die one day....but for Cindy to die now?? I think it's too early. I don't know what I can do without her....*sigh*
As I'm finishing up, my older brother, Jay comes up behind me and says,
" Hey, you okay? Dad wants me to ask you what you want for dinner."
"I'm fine....I'm not that hungry though ..you guys can pick..."
"Okay~ but....never mind.."
Finally he leaves the room. As I'm having my moment alone, he comes back in.
"Chelsea, dad says......"
"SHUP UP JAY!!! CAN'T YOU TELL I WAS JUST HAVING MY MOMENT ALONE?!?!
"WHAT THE CRAP!!!! YOU'RE YELLING AT ME?!?!
"......I'm really sorry...I didn't mean to....I'm just in a relly bad mood right now.."
"I can tell.."
"HEY!!"
"Oops..sorry(in a sarcastic tone).."
I started to cry. Jay comes closer to me and hugs me. His hugs were the best. He was like my teddy bear. The words in my head replay over and over again." Remember me. Forever." When my brother left, I turned on the computer went on my email, and I saw one new message. I opened it, and it was from...........CINDY!!! It said:
Dear Chelsea,
I'm sorry for not telling you earlier because I didn't want to see you go through this. But I know you would understand. I really wish I could have seen you one last time before I left. But I knew that wouldn't be possible. Don't ever think I did this to you, on purpose, because I didn't. :,( I guess this was time Jesus wanted me to be with him. So I guess now is the time to say goodbye...I really wish you will always remember me like I would always remember you. And know that we are not far away from each other. Remember this..i love you.. You're my best friend for life. Everyone deserves a friend like you. I remember the first time we met and the last time I saw you. ...I..........(message will be finished later on in the story. Keep reading if you want to find out.)
I didn't feel like reading the rest of it. This felt like a dream. I signed off of my email and went on Wattpad. I scrolled down the stories when I found a story called, "Is it Love or was it Never Meant to be." Reading this made me feel a little better. I read and read. Until I got really tired of it. Right at that moment, my dad called me out.
"We're going to go out for Chinese food. Do you wanna come?"
"I guess...to get my mind off things.."
