Jacob's POV

"You look handsome, Jacob," Autumn's mom softly smiles as we stand at the funeral home. "Have you gone up to say your last goodbye?" She asks. I shake my head. "I can't. I want to. But I just can't," I whisper. She nods. "Jacob!" I hear someone call from the doorway. I turn around to see Loren. I smile softly at her. She hugs me. "I can't believe she's actually gone," She sighs. I nod. "It was so suddenly. She was so healthy," She sighs. "What?" I ask looking at her. "She was so healthy," She repeats. "You have to be kidding me. Loren, she had cancer," I groan looking at her. Her eyes widen as she listens to my words. "She never said anything," She gasps. "Because she was embarrassed. She felt weak." Being here, at the funeral home made me feel like I was going insane. We're 15, no one at 15 should die. Especially not of cancer. "I'm going to say my final goodbye," I mumble walking towards me casket. She looked so at peace. I place my lips on her forehead. "I miss you so much baby girl," I whisper. "She's so pretty," A man says. "She is," I sigh. "Are you one of her friends?" He asks. "I'm her boyfriend," I sigh. "Or I was. Until the moment she died," I whisper. He nods. "She was such a wonderful girl," He sighs placing his hand on her cheek. I nod in agreement. Sooner or later I'm in the car with her mom as we drive to the cemetery. I watch them lower the casket. Tears pouring out of everyone's eyes but mine fall rapidly. I cried harder than anyone here. She said I'd find someone else. But I don't want to love anyone but her. I wanted it to be her walking down the aisle. I can't imagine anyone but her. I wanted her to be the first and last girl I loved.
