Kingsley
I sat in my car watching as they all made there way to the church in black every body holding there heads down wiping there tears away getting ready for the family gossip they were about to do after the church funeral. I couldn't move I was stuck in my seat for some reason. I felt Zayla's warm hands on mine she was tryna get me out of my state but it was to hard I just couldn't hack it I couldn't walk into that church and say good bye to my brother not Reece no way I couldn't help but wish it was me it should be me not Reece man not my brother!
I made my way out the car locking it and took Zayla's hand I was really thankful she was here with me right now she was all I needed and the only person I wonted to be with. We walked into the church and every body turned to look at me all the eyes filled with hurt and pity as they looked at me I spotted my dad in the corner he smiled at me and I just nodded back out of respect. We walked to the front and I sat down the music started and Nicole was no were to be seen trust her to not come selfish bitch I made it I don't care how upset I am I wouldn't miss this for the world.
Just as the priest was about to speak the heavy door creaked loudly every one turned around and was faced with teary eyed Nicole MY children and her baby brother john of some thing! I looked down at my two beautiful twins wow they were breath taking I had to get up when they walked over. Kade started up at me with tears in his eyes I guess he loved Reece a lot then I looked at shayella and she was just standing there with a blank expression she was so beautiful already I looked at Zayla and she couldn't keep her eyes off my children. We sat down again and Nicole put the twins next to me and john on her lap. I looked at her brother and he looked so much like jade It was weird just a mixrace version with curly hair and sky blue eyes he was really cute. Zayla clung on to my arm tighter as the priest told the church to stand and sing. We all did and song never grown
I watched as Nicole slowly stood up clutching tightly onto shayella's hand I couldn't help but look at Nicole she looked sexy I new it wasn't the time nor place but damn she didn't even have to try hard to look good she just could put any thing on and rock it she had true swag aswell as my self. She wiped her eyes again trying to sing but nothing was going out she was trying but I think she was that upset there was no point. I continued to sing though.
I have heard of a land on the far away strand
'Tis a beautiful home of the soul
Built by Jesus on high, there we never shall die
'Tis a land where we never grow old
Never grow old, never grow old
In a land where we'll never grow old
Never grow old, never grow old
In a land where we'll never grow old
In that beautiful home where we'll never more roam
We shall be in the sweet by and by
Happy praise to the king thru eternity sing
'Tis a land where we never shall die
When our work here is done and the life crown is won
And out troubles and trials are o'er
All our sorrows will end and our voices will blend
With the loved ones who've gone on before
We all sat down again and the priest read another prayer out
Soul of Christ, sanctify me.
Body of Christ, save me.
Blood of Christ, refresh me.
Water from the side of Christ, wash me.
Passion of Christ strengthens me.
O good Jesus, hear me.
Within your wounds hide me.
Let me never be separated from you.
From the power of darkness defend me.
In the hour of my death, call me
and bid me come to you,
that with your saints I may praise you
for ever and ever.
Amen.
Priest: And now I'd like to call upon the family to say a few words to Reece. My Nan was the first to get up she walked slowly over to the stage and bowed her head when she got to Reece's coffin
Nan: Reece was a lively young man...always messing around trying to copy every thing my kingsley done. He was the best grandson a nan could ask for you both were! When your mother died I just-I just didn't know what to do I was scared the both of you would go off the rails but Reece he was so humble and kind never tried to be something his not never would hurt a living soul he was just loving just like his dare mother my beautiful daughter who is now looking down on use now holding tightly onto my grandsons hand protecting and watching over Kingsley an his beautiful children and my lovely Nicole who's been there to watch him grow into a man and- and....she didn't finish off her sentence she just collapsed by Reece's coffin my dad walked up and helped her back to her seat's were my aunty and uncles were sitting with there heads down. I looked at Nicole as she got up she looked so pale and skinny she walked up on stage and sighed deeply in to the mic then she spoke
Nicole: most people never new the Reece I new...he was so amazingly strong but he was scared-scared that if he ever went to bed with bad feelings against any one god would smite him down taking him away from this world forever...I held him in my arms as he died he cryed-he-he told me he didn't wont to leave me he said he loved me but you don't leave some one you love. Me and Reece were close more then close he was my best friend my lover my brother my son he was the one that was there for me when the it was four in the morning and the babies were crying. When I was tryna get over Kingsley he was there. When Nicole said that it kinda hurt just a likkel bit.
Nicole started to walk back to her seat but stopped looked back and put a piece of paper in top of his coffin it was pink with ruffled edges there was messy writing on there I think it was a letter from the children she plonked her self back down on the bench as I made my way up to the stage
Me: I don't have a speech or anything prepared to say I just erm I know the words will come... I loved my brother with all my heart an I know that there were times that we'd fight and argue but he was always the bigger person to apologise first...I was a shit brother I left him when he needed me most my baby brother was killed because of my dumb past...but I I could turn back the hands of time I'd make it be me that was dead...all I know now is that im gonna be a man an be there for my beautiful children and wife to be Nic...Zayla because Reece has tort me one thing in life that's when you got some thing it doesn't matter what it is or-or what they did grab hold of it and never let it go because that thing is always gonna be there for you even in you lowest hour! As I came off stage there was around of applause I kissed my two fingers and placed then gently on the coffin wiping my tears with my other hand....goodbye Reece I'll always love you
