Sadly this is the last chapter of this book. I'll say my Thank you after this chapter lol.

The next day

Roni's POV.

Today is the big day....it's Aaron's funeral. I'm saying a speech today and I'm really nervous...I don't want to say goodbye to him. He meant so much to me...but Nessa is right, I have to. I can't keep this a burden forever...this isn't want Aaron wants. I'm gonna keep Aaron's promise and be happy....even if it's without him. It's gonna be hard but I'm working on it.
I was getting ready for the funeral. I put on a black dress and put some make up on. My eyes were still fluffy from crying but I'm trying my best to cover it. I wear the bracelet that Aaron gave me before he ran away and put the ring in my ring finger. These two accessories were my only memory of him. I won't ever love a guy liked a loved Aaron. He was different from all the other guys I dated.

"Hey Roni u ready?" Nessa asked. "Yeah" I said. "Alright let's go" Nessa said as we go to Marco's car and he starts driving to Aaron's funeral. "U okay?" Nessa asked. "Getting better..." I said. "You nervous?" Nessa asked. "Yeah..." I said. "I'm proud of you Roni" Nessa said. "Why?" I asked. "You're not torturing yourself anymore" Nessa said. "Well I've been thinking about what u said lay night and you were right....this isn't what Aaron wants for me" I said. "Im glad you've come to your senses" Nessa said. "I'm scared to let him go.... he meant the world to me Nessa..." I said. "You can let go of people and still love them. Aaron will understand. I'm pretty sure if he was here. This is what he wants u to do. He doesn't want you to suffer Roni he wants u to be happy. So keep ur promise to him and be happy" Nessa said. "Okay" I said. "Don't be nervous. Everything will be fine" Nessa said. "Okay" I said a Nessa pulls me into a hug as I smile.. "thank you Nessa" I said. "Anytime. I'm always here for you Roni. Always" Nessa said.

Honestly without Nessa, I wouldn't be here right now. I wouldn't be standing here. I would've killed myself a long time ago. Her and Aaron were the only reason why I'm still alive. She's the only thing I have left. She's the best sister I could ever wish for....she's always here for me and I can't thank her enough for that.

We arrive at the funeral, sit down and wait till it starts. About an hour later people were giving speeches. It was Aaron's parents turn they came from the Philippines.

"Aaron was...my oldest child....yes he ran away but...he was a good kid. He was a great kid in fact....he was always so kind, genuine, generous and a lot more. I remember when I first gave birth to him....-" his mom paused then showed a picture of Aaron when he was a new born. "This was Aaron when he was young, he would always cry, he was really playful. Every day he tells us he loves us and it was just ...amazing. in the age of 2....Aaron said his first word..the first thing he ever said was...."mama...i love...you". It was honestly such an amazing moment as a mom. You never know how good it felt to be told that your child loves you. At the age of 3 he learned how to walk, at the age of 4 he started filming himself....he always loved the camera. Fast forward....years later...he decided to make his own channel on YouTube. In the age of 6....he met this guy named Ethan, he's here right now, he's right there in the second row. They would talk day and night, he always trusted Ethan. His dream was to meet Ethan and he did at the age 9. We stayed in the US for a year but had to go back to the Philippines because of Family problems...well fast forward again...when he was 17 he had a girlfriend named Kimmy. He was happy with her, but then back then...Aaron had anger issues he couldn't control....him and Kimmy had a huge fight...I'm not suppose to share this but I think that it's time....he almost beat up Kimmy to death. He didn't want to do it. He couldn't control himself. Kimmy was sent to the hospital in a critical situation but she survived. After a few days... Kimmy killed herself and her parents blamed Aaron for her death.....Aaron was in rehab for awhile...he would always blame himself for Kimmy's death...he would always beat himself up. He always thought he was responsible from her death. But people make mistakes. My son is human, he has issues he can't control....he didn't mean what he did. He didn't kill her. My son isn't a murderer. Years later...he met this girl named Veronica....shes right there sitting in the front row....they started off as enemies, then they became friends and best friends later on. Every time Aaron and I meet....he would always talk about he great this Veronica girl is and how he can literally share everything with her. He said "she was his dream girl" he said he was "in love...." For the first time. He's never been as happy before as he was with Veronica. Veronica was his happiness...after a while...he ran away and broke all of our hearts. 3 years later Veronica, Alex and the others found each other. Again. And they'll be the one to tell their own story but all I'm gonna say as a mom is that....Veronica Jo Merrell...was his dream girl. He said that there wasn't anyone like her. That she was special and that he would marry her if had a chance...he loved her with all his heart.....I'm gonna leave the rest for Veronica to tell us later. The last thing I'm gonna say is that...Aaron will always have a special place in my heart....he was a good kid. He will always be my son even if he's not here anymore I know he's watching us....Aaron if you're listening. I love you my son, I always will" Aarons mom said crying. I started crying again. Aaron told his mom how he felt about me....he loved me for a long time but didn't tell me until I kissed him...how stupid of me...anyways. Alex was going next
