July 3rd 1969

Charlie's Funeral
10am.

The Stones, one at a time shared one last goodbye to their drummer before the casket closed. Brian was the last one to say his goodbyes, he stood by Charlie's coffin looking into it at his friend.

"I can't believe you're really gone, you were my best friend and I'm really gonna miss you."

After Brian spoke his piece he left the funeral and went on back home, when Keith tried to pull him back Bill stopped him and motioned for the guitarist to sit back down.

"Why'd he leave? Isn't he gonna stay for the rest of it?" Keith asked now facing front and crossing his arms.

Bill glanced at him and let out a cough before saying; "Brian wanted me to let you all know, not to mess with him. At 3am this morning when I told him the news, he said he'd come say his goodbyes but after doing so he wanted me to tell you guys that he didn't want to be bothered with."

"That's why he left."

A few days have passed since Charlie's funeral
and the guys were trying to figure out how they were going to replace their drummer.

Meanwhile, as they were busy doing that, Brian, from the other side of the room was just starting out the window, his eyes looking up at the sky.

*Sigh* "It's been a few days dear friend, I still miss you very much... It's hard to play with the guys now knowing that you're gone."

"Maybe one day we'll see each other again."
