Gone

02

I walked into the church with my mom. I looked around at everyone. I'm pretty sure the entire school is here. There are even some people standing because of how many people are here.

No one from our school deserves to be here. Half of them bullied her and have no right to pretend they cared about her. And the other half just stood by and watched it happen, but I guess if you look at it that way I don't deserve to be here either. Let alone have a spot in the front two rows that are reserved for family and close friends. I didn't deserve to sit there. The only people who do are her mom, Lucy Kovich (her best friend), and James Langston (her boyfriend). They were the only ones that were always there for her.

Though if there is one person I see in this room that has absolutely no right to be here is Harlow. My half-sister, but after what she did to Brinley she will never be family to me. No matter how many times dad insists we have "family" dinner together. I will never forgive her. Ever.

As I walked closer to the front of the chapel my eyes immediately went to Lucy's shaking body. She was hunched over and you could hear her sobs got louder as I walked over and sat next to her. I put my hand on her back and she flinched but didn't look to see who it was.

I felt a person sit next to me and I looked over to find a pale James, who stunk of alcohol, who was wearing sunglasses. Probably to hide his red eyes. I smiled at him as best I could. He looked me up and down, nodded at me, and then turned to the front as the Pastor stepped behind the podium. He looks out to all of us and begins, "today we are here to honor the life of Brinley Mae Westmoore..."

Saying her name was all it took for me to break down sobbing. Lucy sat up and looked at me, she stopped as if debating with herself, but then she pulled me in for a hug and we cried together. I have a feeling this is about to be a very long 90 minutes.
