CHAPTER ONE: THE FUNERAL
"Today we are gathered here to celebrate the life of Thomas Valarie." The priest started before i lost focus of what he was saying.
"Kaley" Tommy's brother Hunter said as he was now standing right infront of me.
"wh-at" My voice cracked as tears fell.
"Do you want to say something?" He asked with tear stained cheeks. I gave him a simple nod before standing from my seat and taking the small walk up to the alter. I looked at everyone sitting infront of me, turing to my right to see the cofen. It was then i realized this was it, it was all real. I had been living this nightmare for 2 days short of a week, it was something i could never just wake up from and everything would be fine again.I would never see my bestfriend ever again he was gone. I turned back tears running down my cheeks as i went to speak my voice was mute. I took another deep breathe trying again.
"Tommy" I Spoke into the microphone. "He was always a happy spirt he would never fail to make me happy, we were in the same class all through primary,middle and highschool. We were unsepatable at times, other times we would fight about the most stupid things but we couldn't go a day little alone an hour without eachother before we made up. It wasn't until he left to go to college that i realized how much he really ment to me. He was my soul mate but the hardest part is i never got to tell him how i felt. So i guess standing up here now is my last and only chance to tell him that i love him and i don't think my life will ever be the same without him.. i uhm" i couldn't speak any longer i felt like my throat was closing up on me i couldnt breathe i was having a brakedown.. right infront of his family but worst infront of Tommy's little sisters. It was that moment that i went weak at my knee's falling down to the ground looking like the mess i really was. I was broken, i had lost my bestfriend and soul mate. I felt arms around me, i looked up to see a familar face. But i simply couldn't put a name to him. But right now i didn't care i pulled myself into his chest feeling as if i was in Tommy's arms again.
"Kaley" I heard the familar face say. I looked up at him with red puffy tear stained cheeks. He wiped my cheeks telling me that everything will be okay. But that was the thing nothing was going to be okay. He couldn't bring Tommy back, no one could for that matter. Just thinking about never seeing Tommy again made me sick to the stomach, made my heart brake it pieces and my just made my head and thoat hurt from all the crying and heartache.
"You were a friend of Tommy's?" I questioned with a shakey voice.
"He's my Roommate." He stated brushing my hair from my teary face.
"Thanks" I mumbled.
"Do you want to talk about it or something, Tommy told me a lot about you"
"I don't think i'm really up to it, maybe another time i just need to be alone right now" Tempting to stand but failing.
"Okay i understand" He said not forusing me to do something i didn't want.
He helped me up onto my feet still with one arm around my waist for support. He offered to drive me home and walk me up to my front door.
"Thank you for helping me, i don't know what i would have done if you weren't there."
"Anytime, like i said before you can talk to me, Tommy and i were pretty close"
"Uhm sorry i never asked before but what's you name?"
"Ian, Sorry for not telling you. I guess you were pretty drunk that night we first met i don't blame you for not remembering"
"I don't remember. I just remember your face" I said slowly.
"Do you remember what you said to Tommy?"
"N-no"
"You said today that you never told him that you loved him, but you did. You said you loved him and than you guys went off somewhere i didn't see either of you the rest of the night" He said as if he was remembering the night again in his mind.
I couldn't believe it, i told him. He knew i loved him why weren't we together did he not feel the same way. I couldnt help but feel happy i had told him but sad i can't say it again now and remember. What if he had forgotten aswell? i thought to myself.
"Wait what did he say back to me after i told him.. that you know"
"He said it back?" he said with a questioning face.
"what, he did?"
"yeah, you don't remember anything?"
"No i- i uhm.. i should go inside. thanks Ian i uhm-" i cut myself short giving him a quick awkward hug before closing my front door. As soon as the door close i broke even more as i let everything Ian had just told me come back to mind. Tommy Loved me, he really loved me. I sat on the ground agasint my front door as tears soked down onto my shirt yet again as i thought about what could have been.
'Beep,Beep'
I wiped my tears from my eyes to clear my sight of who was calling me.
"Hunter" i whispered into the phone.
"Kaley they know what happened, apprently the car that hit Tommy's was texting and it pushed the car out onto the intersection and than the.. the uhm truck came" he said slowly and weak.
"H-Hunter, i need to see you" I sniffed into the phone wiping my teary cheeks again.
"I'll be over soon okay'' He replied before hanging up. It felt like a matter of minutes before there was a knock on my front door. I stood up from infront of the door, opening it to reveal Hunter standing there still in his Tux, with his tie loose and his shirt untucked. Within seconds i wrapped myself into his chest crying harder. We walked into my room talking and watching a movie to try take our minds of everything had been going on this past week.
I woke up laying on Tommy's chest with him sound asleep as the TV played 'She's the man' in the background. it looked like we were in Tommy's room i couldn't help but smile, he was so perfect i thought as i found myself staring at his peacful sleeping face. I brushed my hand threw his brown hair slightly waking him.
"Kaley" He whispered, His voice husky.
"Hi" I barely whispered but knowing he still heard me.
"Hi" He whispered back, Kissing my forehead.
"I Love you Tommy" I whispered laying my head back on his bare chest, closing my eyes again with a smile on my face.
"I love you more Kaley" He whispered into my ear, over and over i could hear it echoing in my head.
