The church was quiet- you could've heard a pin drop. People slowly filed in, I nodded at each one- a way of thanking them for being here, although it seemed weird to be thanking people at this event. Everyone was sat down and the song started to play- I closed my eyes and remembered him singing it to me the first time I met him, then again and again over the years and I remembered the smell of his cologne as we danced to it on our wedding day. Tears spilled from my eyes and Logan reached out for my hand. I held his firmly and Pam rested her hand on my leg.

His coffin was laid down and Chance got up. He read a poem, he was battling against his tears. As soon as he stepped down, a tear rolled down his cheek- Alex hugged him- holding him tightly. "Now Jake's brother Logan, would like to say a few words." I kissed Logan's hand and he walked up. I held Pam's hand, she was a shaking mess. "My brother was the craziest guy I know. He would do anything, anytime- he's the kind of person that books a holiday the night before. He always lived life to his full potential and made every day a memory. Behind that, Jake was really down to earth, compassionate and kind. He cared for every soul he'd ever met and was always up front- giving people what they needed to get by. Despite the hate he received globally, he still woke up with a smile on his face and he always told me; "Someone, somewhere always has it way worse than you do." And I think in this day in age, it's a very fitting motto to live by. Not only was he caring for people he didnt know, he was more than caring for everyone surrounding him. Whenever anything went wrong for me, he was the first to offer help. In any situation, and it made him so genuine. The way he loved Y/N..." Logan's voice cracked as my tears raced down my voice. "The way he loved her was like a fairytale. She's always his top priority and making her happy and comfortable was always top on his list. He would do anything to see her smile. I really hope you're chilling up there bro, and I'll see you soon." He wiped his eyes and stepped down. I was a complete mess, he sat down and I held his arm tightly. "That was amazing Logan." I whispered.

The wake was lovely, everyone celebrating Jake's life. But, I felt so crowded by everyone- I kept choking up and getting really upset. I flicked through some of the messages people had written in the book and it was breaking my heart, because Jake meant so much to everyone around him.

"You know you meant a great deal to him." Greg said, resting his arm around me. "He adored you, with every nerve in his body." He said. I hugged him. "I miss him so much already." I whispered.
