Lily's POV

"Lily, it's time to go!"

I wipe the last tear from my eye and suck in a breath. I can do this. It's just a funeral. It's not like you've been afraid of them since you were a kid and it grew worse when you tried to kill yourself. Oh wait that's exactly what it is like.

"Lily," Mom sighs leaning on the door frame, "we have to go, hun."

"I know," I assure her, "I'm just prepping myself for a panic attack."

"You won't have a panic attack," she tries to tell me but I know better. She walks behind me and pulls my hair to one side, "if it was any other circumstance I'd say you look gorgeous."

"Thanks, Momma," I say smiling a bit.

"Let's go before all the seats are taken," she says and I nod following her out of my room.

I know today isn't going to go well. Flynn is going to meet us there but I don't know if he can help me with this. I have always hated funerals and it's just gotten worse with age. Especially since Jake was my age. Dying because of old age isn't so bad but someone taking their life is the worst.

I've been taking the news of Jake taking his life horribly for the last couple of days. Flynn has been trying to make me feel better but it just isn't the same. Is this how Kendal felt? Is this how Mom felt and Dad? What if They didn't find me?

There is no what if if they didn't find me. Because I'd be in the ground like Jake is. How badly would I impact the people who made me feel that way? Would they feel bad? Would they care?

"We're here," Mom says snapping me out of my horribly depressing mindset. "Looks like the Harrison's are already here."

"The whole town is here," I state looking around at the crowd.

"It's like some Pretty Little Liar shit," Mom mumbles.

"Mom!" I exclaim laughing a bit.

"What? I'm hip," she says making me laugh harder.

"Just park," I instruct done with the conversation.

"What? What did I do wrong?" She asks but I just shake my head.

"What didn't you do wrong?" I chuckle. I look around at the people already here and see Flynn by the door. "Flynn's already here with Athena."

Mom parks and we both get out without another word. I'm really dreading this funeral. It doesn't help that there's so many people here too.

Flynn sees us and walks about a quarter of the way to us so we don't meet in the middle of the road. He smiles at me when I get closer. Athena hugs me first since she can actually hug me without having to move crutches.
