Blake packed her bag and ran her fingers through her hair. She sniffled softly and turned around.

"You don't have to come to the funeral." Sweet Pea said crossing his arms.

"No.. no I have too." Blake said softly.

"Okay.." He said softly walking forward. "You ready?"

Blake turned around and grabbed her bag. "Yeah.." the two walked out of the hospital.

"I'm.. going to Betty's. Veronica, Cheryl, and I are meeting there to get ready." Blake said quietly.

"Want me to drop you off?"

"Please?"

"Thank you Sweet Pea." Blake said kissing him.

"Of course."

"And I'll meet you at the funeral." Blake said slowly backing away.

"Okay Blake." Sweet Pea drove off and Blake knocked on the door.

"Blake!" Betty said smiling.

"Hey Bets." The two girls hugged and walked up to her room. Blake sat patiently on Betty's bed and waited for her to finish changing. When Betty was done Blake went to go change.

"You look nice." Betty said trying to cheer her up.

"Thanks Bets." Blake said putting on her infinity necklace. She put in her heart earrings and turned around. Betty smiled and stood up.

"Midge would be proud." Blake looked down and hugged Betty.

"You did everything you could." Betty whispered softly.

******

Veronica, Betty, Blake, and Cheryl walked down to the funeral together. Cheryl went to stand in front of Midge's coffin to sing.

"You look nice." Sweet Pea whispered putting and arm around her. "Thanks.." she whispered back. Veronica passed back a white rose for her. Blake took the rose and stood back next to Sweet Pea.

"You'll never walk... alone.." Cheryl finished. She lift her hands telling the Vixens to rise their pomp pomps.

"I also feel like it is my duty to say.. the Vixens and I will not stop until the murderer of our sister is rightly punished." Blake sniffled softly and Sweet Pea kissed the top of her head. "Blake.." Veronica whispered.

Blake walked forward with Veronica and Mrs. Lodge to put their roses on the coffin. Veronica put her hand on Blake's. "You did everything you could." Blake nodded and walked back to her boyfriend.

"She's right... you did everything you could." He said softly kissing her head again. Blake nodded and started to cry softly.

The funeral ending and Blake walked with Sweet Pea's arm around her. She saw her dad walking to Mrs. Klump. "Be right back.." Blake whispered pulling herself away from him.

"Dad-" "Mrs. Klump, I'm sorry for your loss. And you should know the entire police force will not stop-" Mrs. Klump slapped him.

"You're supposed to be protecting our children!" "Dad!" Blake shouted grabbing his shoulder.

"And you!" Mrs. Klump shouted turning to Blake.

"It was supposed to be you in that damn casket! Not my daughter!" Mrs. Klump slapped her too, her ring leaving a small cut on her cheek. Mrs. Klump walked away with Cheryl. "And Sheriff, your days of failing this town are limiting." Cheryl said before walking away.

Sweet Pea ran over to his girlfriend. "Blake."

"No! No it's fine!" Blake said as tears rolled down her cheek. Sweet Pea put his hand on his face and gently wiped the blood from her cut.

"Stop! It's fine!"

"No Blake it's not." Kevin ran over. "Blake, Dad are you guys okay?"

"I'm fine Kevin." Mr. Keller said. "I'm fine Kev." Blake said softly.

"No she's not." Sweet Pea said looking at her cheek.

"Stop it's fine.. it's fine! Just.. just take me home." Blake said still crying. Sweet Pea put his hand down and pulled her in for a hug.

"It's okay Blake."

Blake and Sweet Pea walked in his trailer. "Let me help you Blake." Blake wiped her tears. "Fine.."

Sweet Pea grabbed the first aid kit. "Sit down.." he said softly. Blake sat down on the couch and he sat down next to her.

"She's right.. it should've been me." Blake whispered and watched him open the first aid kit.

"No Blake it shouldn't have."

"I heard him.. the Black Hood. He said I went behind my fathers back and.. he was going to kill me. But Midge stepped in and saved me. He killed her when it should've been me."

"Blake stop." Sweet Pea said grabbing her hand. "Midge saved you. The Black Hood stabbed you thinking you would just bleed out. Two birds with one stone. But you got lucky. You survived."

Blake looked down at the couch. "Don't keep blaming yourself. It won't end well." Sweet Pea pulled her in and kissed her forehead.

"You're the strongest person I know. This won't bring you down. Just because someone says it should've been you.. doesn't mean it's true."

Blake grabbed his wrist and smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too. Now let's clean your cut okay?" Blake nodded and sat back down. "Mmm no. Cmon." Sweet Pea said reaching under her and lifting her on his lap. "What're you doing?" Blake asked smiling.

"Helping you, I can't reach you when you sit like that." He said straightening her legs. "So what you're gonna make me sit on your lap?"

"It's easier." Sweet Pea said wiping her cut. She rested her head on his chest as he cleaned her cut.

******

"There.." Sweet Pea whispered softly. Blake climbed off of him and watched him put the first aid kit together and put it away. He sat back down next to her and moved a strand of hair behind her ear.

"You were strong today.. you know that right? Being at her funeral." Blake nodded. "I know.."

"I know it was hard. You two became so close in a matter of days."

"I watched her die.." Blake said softly as a tear fell. "I watched as the Black Hood carried her body away."

"I know... I know." Sweet Pea said moving closer and wrapping an arm around her.

"I was so helpless... and.." "Shhh.... it's okay.."

Blake looked up and kissed him. "I love you.." She whispered climbing on top of him.

"I love you too."
