Messi POV*
Beep...beep...BEEP!!
I couldn't get that moment out of my head, the moment Neymar's heart stopped beating, panic took over my body as I desperately called for a nurse to save his life, after 5 minutes of trying to recover him to no avail that was it.
Time of death 20:34pm.
I watched as they covered up his lifeless body and took him out of the room, I sat in disbelief of what had just happened, I'll never get to wake up next to him again, never get to play football as the 3 best defenders of Barcelona, I have lost a piece of me forever, my reason to live, my life, my love.
......
Today is the day of Neymar's funeral, I don't know if I can face it but I need to go, I know this is what he would of wanted, It was my job to protect him, to make sure that nothing ever hurt him, to put my life before his at all times.
Never in a million years did I think that words could effect my baby so much that he felt the need to take his own life, I can't help but blame myself. I'm currently sat in our bedroom watching old videos of Neymar, being the usual show off that he was, practising all his new football tricks amazing all the players and coaches.
I looked at the time at the bottom of my computer screen, an hour until the funeral, I looked at my suit set out in the room, Black. Why do funerals require dark clothes, this is a celebration of Neymar's life it shouldn't be a dark day, It should be happy with all his friends and family gathered around celebrating his life. He was so young he doesn't deserve to be lifeless in that coffin.
I was interrupted from my thoughts by a knock on the door, Suarez and Iniesta were at the door also dressed in black attempting to cheer me up. My team mates have been so supportive since the news of his passing , we had a big tribute 2 days ago at Camp Nou surrounded by 1 million people that loved Neymar, we'll all miss him but it's time for me to accept the fact that he's gone and he isn't coming back.
.....
The service started off with the song that was played the day Neymar and I met, not the typical funeral song but it was meaningful to us both. There was a big display at the back of the podium of Neymar smiling, that smile, the smile that could just make your heart melt, one of those smiles that made the whole world smile too. Looking round the whole team had turned up as well as Ronaldo, I chose to keep my mouth shut as I didn't want to cause a scene, especially not today I owe that to Neymar.
The time came of my speech, I was shaking as I approached the podium, my speech in front of me, it was time to say my final goodbye to Neymar.
" Ney. From the moment I met you, I knew you was different from everyone else, you wasn't afraid to be yourself, you was a show off, you wasn't afraid to speak your mind, you was a loving person, who never gave up on his dreams. You have changed my life in so many ways, you have made me a better person, I was afraid to love before I met you, afraid of people judging me because I was different, but you made it all okay. I know you wouldn't want me to be upset over this but I don't know how I'm supposed to live my life without you in it, who am I supposed to live for now?, I was planning on proposing to you, spending the rest of my life with you, starting a family with you. We never got the chance to travel the world together, I had so many plans for our future together. I had a purpose in life to protect you, to make sure nobody ever hurt you, I'm sorry that I've failed you, I'm sorry for everything."
Neymars POV*
Tears streamed down my face as I listened to Messi talking about how much he loved me, I couldn't stand there and watch this, I walked past crowds of crying people, I can't believe that I've caused all this, maybe it was a good thing that I was gone if this is what happens to people I love. As I approached the podium I attempted to get his attention "Baby stop. I'm here, it's okay" he carried on with his speech tears streaming down his face, I knew this was difficult for him as he doesn't usually express his emotions. He must of really loved me.
I was standing beside Messi listening to his beautiful emotional speech, if only he knew that I was here with him, by his side, I should of never left him, he could of saved me, he was my saviour, my reason to live.
Looking back at Messi he was breaking down, he couldn't contain his emotions and broke down completely, looking out into the crowd I spotted Ronaldo rushing to the podium as he enclosed Messi in a hug. I was stood in shock, I thought he hated Messi, why is he comforting him. I couldn't bear to see Messi like this especially not with his arms wrapped around Ronaldo, I came down from the podium and walked out of the church, it's for the best that I don't visit Messi again. I need him to be happy, even if it involves me not being in his life.
