Chapter 2 - The Dreaded Funeral

I have been avoid this moment all day, trying to occupy my mind with something else like school in Canada, colleges and that photo I found this morning is driving me insane. How could they have just left without leaving any answers?

I slipped into my black dress and did my hair in a fishtail braid. I went to check on Adele but as I walked in to her room she wasn't dressed for the funeral. She gave me a very strange look.

"Why are you dressed like that Carley?"

"Ummm..... Well because mum and dads funeral is tonight"

"Oh Could you help me get ready please"

"Of course I can"

I walked over and gave her a big hug. I saw her suitcases in the corner of the room and started rummaging through them until I found my old dress, it was dark grey with a pink sash around it's waist, two thin straps crossed at the back. It is perfect. I did Adele's hair in a half up half down and tied a pink ribbon in her hair and tied up the pink sash.

"You look perfect Addie"

We both walk down the stairs and put our heels on at the bottom. Then I see Rachel, I swear I have seen her dress before, it was mums. Her hair was done up in a loose ballet bun and very subtle make-up on.

"I thought they would have wanted us to travel in style" says Rachel as she opens the door.

"A LIMO" me and Adele say in unison.

We climb into the limo and it was amazing it made me forget about all my problems and it made us all a lot happier.

At the funeral we played some of mum and dads favourite songs, I made a speech for mum and Rachel made a speech for dad. Adele sang the song mum always sang to us when we were little. The funeral eventually came to an end after a lot of tears. Rachel decided to take Adele and I out to dinner at our favourite restaurant we all got the world famous spaghetti bolognese. We started to get tired and we called a cab to take us home, we all crashed on the couch. I almost forgot, the moving vans come tomorrow.

I woke up first again and go upstairs to my shower it was about 8:30 when I came downstairs to get breakfast, Rachel and Adele were still asleep so I decided to leave them. The movers should be getting here in half an hour. I've been doing some research and the closest school to our new house in Canada is Degrassi Community School.
