I changed into my black clothes, staring at myself in the mirror.

Claire had just come home and Liam would be at the hospital all afternoon with Anne.

They were checking up on him since Samara died from the same thing.

Somehow, I thought this was all some nightmare.

I looked at the top of the desk I was by and saw a pile of notebook paper.

Each one had different lyrics for the same song and somehow I couldn't put it together but I had some lyrics down.

'Shut the door, turn the lights off

I wanna be with you

I wanna feel your love

I wanna lay beside you

I cannot hide this even though I try

Heart beats harder

Time escapes me

Trembling hands touch skin

It makes this harder

And the tears stream down my face' 

That's all I had.

I walked out of the bedroom and saw Liam and the boys all sitting in the living room their faces slumped into a frown.

Claire, who was propped on Harry's lap,was wearing a smile as bright as day because she knew nothing of what was going on.

"So," I said, breaking the silence. "When do we start leaving?" I asked.

Liam looked at his watch and got up.

"We should start heading out, it starts at a quarter to three and it's about one thirty." He said, his voice not as happy as it was.

Harry stood up, holding Claire and she tried to play with his hair, but he pulled his hair away.

"Not now Claire-bear, not really in the mood to play." He mumbled sadly.

Louis and Zayn, the jokester of the group, were sitting in silence, not one ounce of laughter on their faces.

Louis, however, had tear stains on his cheeks.

The door opened and shut softly and I looked up to see Luna there. She had red, puffy eyes, and tear stain as well.

"Let's go boys." She said in a loud whisper.

She and I seemed to be taking it hardest, Liam and Harry as well.

We walked out of the house and Luna placed her sun glasses on.

They covered half her face at how large they are and I bet you she chose them just for that purpose.

We walked up to a car that was running and in the front seat was Liam and Samara's parents.

"Get in everyone." Liam's said, no expression on his face.

Their mother, on the other hand, was crying in front of the seat.

I sat in the back and placed the notepad sheets on my lap, thinking of more to write.

-------

We were surrounded by people mingling and laughing like it was all good.

Did they not realize it was my girlfriend's funeral?!

I put my hands in front of my pockets and felt the ring that was inside.

Yes, I was going to propose midnight on the day of the twins' birthday, but it was already late.

The pastor, or so it seemed, stepped on the front of the room, coughing.

"Everyone take a seat." He said solemnly.

We did as we told.

Liam, Luna, Zayn, Harry, Louis, and I sat in the front row, Samara's parents and the rest of them in the back row.

"Samara Payne was a lovely girl. She had a smile that lit up rooms and enough love that kept her through struggles in her life time. Even though, at times, she was a bit misguided, she would still come back from her mistakes and have the courage of a thousand men to say she was sorry."

Those words stung me a bit.

I remembered the time me and her fought back when we were at the Kid's Choice Awards.

"Samara gave birth to two lovely twins. I know that if it was her choice to stay or leave, she would have stayed because she had much to live and love here on Earth, but life takes its toll. Now, it all of you would come up and say your final good-byes?" The minister struggled.

Liam and his parent's stood up first, walking to the front and crying over her body.

Then the rest of the boys went and did the same.

I waited until everyone went and it was only me left.

I stood up slowly and felt the eyes of everyone focus on me.

I looked at her as she lay peaceful in the casket.

Her beautiful brown eyes were shut, her mouth was put into a mysterious smile.

She was wearing red lipstick that I would put on for her when she was having difficulties and she was wearing a black dress that I remembered specifically.

I grabbed her hand and slid the ring I had in my hand onto her ring finger.

She was slightly... warm?

Well, it is pretty warm in here.

I shrugged it off and leaned down kissing her forehead and whispered on her ear.

'You know I'll be your life, your voice, your reason to be...' 

Then it snapped, the rest of the song clicked in my head.

I looked at Sam one final time and turned.

This song was for her, and I knew what I had to do...

------------

Tears?
