Live In The Now (Sequel to Let's Forget The Past)

GOODBYE IS NEVER EASY

1 WEEK LATER
Courtney's POV
After a week of crying, checking on Amy's mom and arranging the burial Amy finally gets put to rest today.
-COCO one of my siblings lowly call out to me.
Turning to face my doorway I see Dylan standing there in his suit.

-HEY HANDSOME I smile. LOOK AT YOU ALL DRESSED UP I add as he quietly watches me. COME OVER HERE I tell him.
-COURTNEY ARE YOU OKAY? my little brother questions me now standing in front of me.
-I WILL BE I admit while fixing his tie.
-ARE YOU SURE BECAUSE YOU HAVEN'T REALLY TALKED ABOUT ANY OF IT Dylan says. YOU'VE BEEN SUPER QUIET AND YOU DON'T TALK TO US ANYMORE he adds.
He isn't lying.
Since Amy's death I haven't really been the same.
No one has been the same.
Moms made me see the family therapist Dr. Sullivan and she thinks that it's worse on me since I'm the one that actually found her hanging.
Maybe she's right.
-SIT DOWN I direct him making him sit down beside me on my bed. I KNOW THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN THE SAME AND THAT YOU GUYS ARE SO USED TO ME TALKING TO YOU AND PLAYING AROUND WITH YOU EVERYDAY BUT THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN MY HEAD I let him know. I JUST NEEDED SOME TIME TO SIT BACK AND CRY IT OUT, BUT I PROMISE AFTER TODAY I'LL BE BACK TO NORMAL I say holding my pinky out.
-OKAY Dylan smiles using his pinky as well to tie the deal. ARE YOU READY? he turns to ask me.
-YEAH I quip. IM READY I convince him and myself. I LOVE YOU KID I add messing up his hair.
Now downstairs I see Isabella standing across from Ailyn who's lying her head on Bentley's shoulder.
