Chapter 16

A week after Jeffrey's death was his funeral. Everybody wore black clothes including his classmates and those who knew him.

At the end of the funeral, Danna received a letter handed by Jeffrey's mom.

"It's from Jeffrey. He told me to give it to you on his funeral." She hands the letter to Danna and hugs her.

"Thank you."

Everybody went home0 except for the band. They stayed a while to be with Jeffrey a little longer. Danna opens the letter and reads it.

Dear Danna,

I'm really sorry for leaving you so soon. There are still a lot of things I wanted to do with you but unfortunately, my time can't keep up. Our time as a couple was fun and I really enjoyed it. I just hope that you're doing good. Danna? I really love you from the bottom of my heart. I'm sorry if I didn't realized that it was you right away.

Danna? You're the vocalist of the band now. I'll still support you when I'm gone and remember that I will always be with you all. Be safe and take car always Danna. I love you very much. Thank you for everything.

I don't want you to make me an anchor. It might hurt for you but I must really tell you that in time, you should move on. I don't want you to hold on to me forever because I know that it would only hurt not just yourself, but your family and the band too. Find someone else please. Don't destroy yourself.

I guess I never really had time to show you how much you mean to me didn't I? Remember the first time we met on January? The first time you pushed me against that wall and the first time I saw your face, I really hoped that it was you. It really was you. Thank you for finding me.

Damn it. I really wish that I could still live. Why is there no cure to my disease? Why did it have to be me? I never wanted to die so soon. I wanted to be with you.

But still, I'm already dead. Nothing can change that now. I just hope that you'll be doing good. Not just good, but great. Did I leave a mark inside you? Thanl you for everything my Danna.

Eternally yours,

Jeffrey

Danna's tears starts falling from her eyes. She was sad and lonely. The three boys went to her and hugs her. They still can't believe that Jeffrey would forever be gone.

When they walked outside the gates of the cemetery, Danna looks back once more and stares at Jeffrey's grave.

"I'll always love you Jeff."
