51. funerals

This chapter is so short, but i've been super busy so here's a quick chapter :)

It's been a week sense the meet n greet. It's gotten better a little bit.

I've gotten over it. Alec's never gonna magically appear. Nothing like that happens in my life.

"Kayla come down here!" I glance at Joey, he gives me a soft smile and watches me roll off the bed.

I go down stairs seeing my mom and Mike on the couch. I sat at the other couch, I took a deep breath knowing that these are never good.

"So uhm. This is a very hard talk. Especially with you. But Mike and I were thinking we should have a funeral for Alec.." my eyes widen.

"No" she sighs.

"Kayla i'm sorry to face it to you, but he's gone, he's never coming back" I stayed calm looking down.

"How do you know?" it was silent, I heard the smallest things as nobody talked.

"You're right. I don't. We're going to do it" I shook my head.

"No. This isn't right. You're assuming he's gone! Listen to me for once instead of asking for my opinion then not listening to it" she slams her hands on the table then stand up.

"He was my son! I'm gonna do what I think is right!" I stood up too, taking a glance at Mike then my mom.

"He was my older brother! guess what? you do the funeral, I'm never seeing you again" I walked away going straight to my room.

Tears ran down my face. Everything is falling apart, Alec's gone, he's never coming back. My mom is marrying a guy who I truly hate, she's having a baby.

Things seem to turn back on me, it's not fair. Why can't I see my older brother? I need his protection and his love. I haven't had that in three years.

The worst part is. Right now, he's probably living the worse way possible. But I don't know that.

I walk in the room. Joey frowns, I run into his arms then started balling. He rubbed my back lightly.

"I don't wanna be here anymore"

"I don't wanna be here anymore"

My heart shattered into a million pieces. My eyes started to water thinking of the worse.

If Kayla leaves, i'll never be the same. She's the other half of my heart. She fixed all the tiny pieces that were shattered and made me who I am today.

I felt a tear drop on my shoulder. I look up and see Joey with tears running down his cheek. I sat him down on the bed, I walked in between his legs.

"Why are you crying?" I wipe his tears away with my thumb.

"Never say that. It scares me, the thought of you leaving is a nightmare" I smile, a small tear slips down my cheek.

"Ok" I rest my forehead on his, he smiles and presses his lips against mine.

"I love you" I blush then pull away from his face.

"Love you too"
