I stood frozen in front if the audience as everything began to fit in to place.
I know why her funeral was here.
Why her funeral was a basketball court an hours drive from where anyone lived.
Paisley and I first met here.
It was 2 summers ago in June and I was playing a basketball match here.
She was buying a meat pie when I accidentally threw an air ball at her head.
I started laughing, I was laughing so hard I forgot I was playing a game at all.
My coach, was really annoyed and sent me straight away to apologize to her.
So I ran up, through the crowds of people until I met her.
*FLASHBACK*
"Hey umm, do you need some help?"
"Oh thanks air-head, I'm fine"
*attemps standing*
"Holy f-"
"Oh my god are you okay? Here let me carry you"
"No it's okay, I don't need help from you"
"Arghhh!"
"Okay I'm helping"
I lifted her carefully being aware of her body cause I didn't exactly pay attention to where she was hurt.
For a moment out eyes locked, and mine were fixed in a gaze.
She was probably the most beautiful girl I ha ever seen, she had emerald eyes which glistened against her brunette ha-
"Um hello? Mr Creepy? Yeah um can you not stare at me like that and just take me down to a nurse or something cause that would be much appreciated"
"Oh yeah, sorry"
Woah Andrew, I don't remember you singing up for worlds cheesiest man.
*FLASHBACK ENDS*
And from there it took weeks to get her to go out with me.
"Oh right my speech"
Suddenly remembering I was standing in front of a hundred people who we're expecting emotional words to flow out of mouth I reached for my speech.
I don't know why but I just stopped.
I guess I felt like that you can't just read about how you miss someone, you have to express it.
Kinda like how existing and living are two different things you know.
*Clears throat*
"If you guys didn't know,I'm Andrew, Paisley's boyfriend. Hey Paisley. How's life as an angel? It's kinda hard existing in this world without you. I miss your laugh a lot and the way your eyes twinkle. But I guess noth-"
It was so hard to continue, I felt like I was choking up words from a week without water.
"Nothing lasts forever. I hope you wait for me, cause one day I'll fly up where you are and we'll be together again. I can't guarantee when but-"
My throat was burning as my eyes swelled. Come on Andrew, don't cry.
"I hope you can wait patiently for me. You were always so kind and generous to everyone so I 'm not sure how you deserved this fate. I guess that's something I'll never know and something that will just grow in my mind. Rest in peace paise, I love you."
I didn't realise but I was crying towards the end. Tears were slowly swimming down my face as I stepped off the stage and returned to my seat.
-
"Rest we'll Mr & Mrs Wentworth."
I strode back down to my car wanting to be as far away from this depressing place and Mr.Wenworths breath.
I hopped in to the car not even caring whether I had a seat belt on or not, I just wanted to drive away.
*45 minutes later*
I was nearly home, familiar street names were surrounding me as I drove past the local mall. It wasn't very busy for a Sunday afternoon, normally it would be bu-
"Arghhhhh!"
A huge thud shook over me. I screeched the brakes to a halt, half panicked - half shocked.
What the hell just happened?
I comb my hair anxiously with my fingers biting my teeth - hard.
"Holy shitttt!"
The sound was coming strong from outside. It sounded like a paranoid girl in distress.
I hope out of my car thinking what the hell am I doing whilst the other half is curious.
I walk over to the front of car and notice white glass on the floor.
I look around me.
Holy shit.
I just ran over a girl.
That was part 3!!!
