All of the people are throwing flowers to it, as I couldn't held my tears anymore. The black dresses and suits everybody's wearing making me extremely uncomfortable. My love is now burried on the ground, as this grave made me cry over and over.

Kale's mother here, crying loudly on her wheelchair. "No! Not my Kale!" She shouted, as could see Sydney cried as well and her dad's trying to comfort Kale's mother.

All of the person left, one by one until there's only me, Amber, Steve and Sky standing there. Yes, Amber is here. She knows how important Kale is to me. My whole family are here. I squat there, crying. "Why the god had to take him?" I groaned.

"Well, I guess we have to leave you guys alone. Come one Amber." I realized that Amber and Sky has grown more closer together, and that's great.

"Emily, he'll be fine there. He loves you so much." He stroked my back, trying to comfort me. "Okay, I'll leave you two alone."

"No, Steve. Stay here." I held his arm staring at his beautiful eyes, and lean on his shoulder. "He told me yesterday about him in heaven."

"What? Really?" Steve asked curiously, kissing my forehead. 

"Yeah, I told him about my dream. It's about The Lunatics singing on stage, and I was there too on the audience seat. It was beautiful, but Kale wasn't there. When I told Kale about the dream, he told me maybe he's in heaven." I told him, making him sighed.

"It's just a sign. He'll be there in heaven, smiling at how lovely you are." I giggled to what he said.

I smiled. "Can we go now?" I asked him.

Steve stared at me confusedly. "You don't want to stay longer here?" 

"Actually, I do. But I don't want to lose all of my tears. I'm saving it for my big day, my wedding." He giggled as I smiled at him.

"Goodbye, Kale. I'll come here often." I kissed the gravestone and left hand in hand with Steve, as my head still leaning on Steve's shoulder. "Where is the other guys?" I asked.

"They told me they will be in the nearest Starbucks."

"Okay." I sighed.

We walked away from the cemetery, as I saw the Starbucks. When we entered, I saw Amber, Conner, Luca,  Skylar and Sydney sitting there with frown on their faces. 

"Hey," I greeted them, as they gave me a forced smile. "What's with the frown? Kale doesn't want us to be sad, so why don't we rehearse?" I sat next to Amber, forcing a smile at them. "He want us to be a great band, so will you guys make that happen, for Kale?"

After I sad that to them, all of them began to cry, except Amber since I know he never met Kale before. "I'll miss him, he's the best guy friend I've ever had." Said Conner as he literally cried. I've never seen him cried since he fell from a bike when he was young. He has a great friendship with Kale, and this is making me cry as well. 

"Guys, it's okay to cry, but don't exaggerate it." Sky said. "He's one of us, and will always be The Lunatics."

"Now, there's only four of us in The Lunatics." Conner sighed, giving us another frown.

"No! I told you he's going to be in The Lunatics. No matter what, this will always be a band of five." 

I'm speechless, they love Kale. Kale is one of the best person I've ever met. I'm glad that he used to be mine, but I think he will always be mine. They know how much Kale want us to be successful in the world of music, because I know he love it as well.

"Well, rehearse time? We have to visit him tomorrow, okay?" I told them.

We all are here, ready to record a song, even though I know it's not our song, instead of Bryan Adam's. Steve's house is now better, which I'm glad about it, so we could record our song. I have to thank Crystal's dad later, since he's the one who paid everything for us.

"Come on, Heaven is not going to wait." Skylar told us, getting ready with her drum kit. 

"I'm ready!" Conner shouted.

Amber and Luca sat on the seat, wearing their headphones. 

The music started, as I could feel nostalgic already. When me and Kale together, it was beautiful.

"Oh, thinking about all our younger years, there was only you and me, we were young and wild and free." I sang, as Steve stood next to me.

"Now nothin' can take you away from me, we've been down that road before, but that's over now, you keep me comin' back for more." Sang Steve, as he stared at my eyes.

I watch Amber and Luca whispered something while pointing at us. I rolled my eyes.

"And baby, you're all that I want, when you're lyin' here in my arms. I'm findin' it hard to believe, we're in heaven. And love is all that I need, and I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see, we're in heaven." We sang, along with Conner and Sky's voices on the background.

"Oh, once in your life you find someone, who will turn your world around, bring you up when you're feelin' down." Steve continued with the song as I stopped singing, with the background of Conner's voice still on.

"Yeah, nothin' could change what you mean to me. Oh there's lots that I could say, but just hold me now, cause our love will light the way." I sang along with Steve, as he smiled at me and I smiled back.

"And baby, you're all that I want, when you're lyin' here in my arms. I'm findin' it hard to believe, we're in heaven. And love is all that I need and I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see, we're in heaven."

"I've been waitin' for so long, for somethin' to arrive, for love to come along. Now our dreams are comin' true, through the good times and the bad, yeah I'll be standin' there by you!" I sang.

"And baby, you're all that I want, when you're lyin' here in my arms. I'm findin' it hard to believe, we're in heaven. And love is all that I need, and I found it there in your heart. It isn't too hard to see, we're in heaven, heaven, oooh! You're all that I want! You're all that I need!"

"We're in heaven. We're in heaven. We're in heaven."

The music ended as Amber clapped at us, and so does Luca.
