When Her Dreams Came True

~Chapter 16~

Gabbie's funeral was a tragic affair. There was barely anyone there, only her only school friends from Bristol, Dan, Phil and Christa. The lies of the priest did not interest the three. They only thought about how Gabbie would have reacted if she had heard them. They were half expecting her to burst out of the coffin and shout "Falsehood!" and everything would be ok. But she didn't. And it wasn't.

As the years went by, Dan, Phil and Christa slowly got over Gabbie's death. Not fully that would never happen but enough so they could carry on doing the things they loved. For her sake.

Dan and Phil didn't stop making videos. They had known how much happiness they brought her and how much happiness they brought others. They had adopted a baby about a year after she died and she was now 9 years old. Little Charlotte had been told stories of Gabbie and how, if she had known her, she would have the best big sister ever.

Christa took a little longer to move on and it showed. Her grades slipped and she was missing lessons because of grief counselling but, whenever she felt like ending it just to be with Gabbie, her advice ringed in her head. "Keep on going" So she did. She passed her GCSEs and A-Levels with flying colours and completed a masters degree in post-production. She made her own YouTube channel as a way of helping people with their experiences of grief and shared Gabbie's advice with the world. She became very popular and was a constant guest on Dan and Phil's channels. They went to every VidCon together, something Gabbie never did, as a tribute to her life and to make sure no one forgot her.

Life went on without me. That's right. The narrator this entire story had been me. Gabbie Preston. From way up above. My dearly beloved listened to me and went on without me and became successful. But they never forgot about me, which is nice. As the author of this story, I'm going to repeat some of my words for you now:

Thank you. For everything

See ya
