Today was the Funeral. I didn't want to get out of bed but Goku made me.

I sighed and put on one of Trinity's shirts with a pair of black leggings.

Vegeta was in the kitchen. He actually made breakfast for everyone. Guess he felt bad about what he said the other day.

I didn't eat. I didn't want to.

Vegeta kept bothering me with questions

"Why aren't you eating?"
"Are you sick?"
"Did you sleep enough?"
"Is it not good?"
"Do you want me to make you something else?"

Goku just stared at me in silence.

Rebecca and Megan oddly were okay. Rebecca said she and Megan lost many friends to drugs so it wasn't as bad as it was for me.

They both slept in bed with me at night. Rebecca said it helps with the dreams. It honestly didn't but she felt better when she thought she was helping me.

"Time to go" Rebecca said as she finished cleaning the table

We decided to drive to the funeral home. Rebecca, Megan and I in the back while Goku drove and Vegeta sat in the passenger seat.

The funeral home was nearly empty. Trinity didn't have a lot of friends. And her family didn't care for her.

About 4 people showed up not including us 5 or Chi-chi and Bulma. Who sat in the back to pay their respects.

I noticed Holly sitting alone. I motioned for her to come sit by us. Even if she was struggling herself and seemed like a bad person she still cared for Trinity

Trinity's mother and sister walked in just as the speeches started. They looked so bothered to be here.

When everyone was done talking about Trinity Goku nudged me to go and talk

I sat still

He nudged me harder

I sighed and went up to the stand.

"This sucks" I said over the mic

Goku shook his head no

I sighed again "I mean..Today is a hard day for everyone here. Trinity didn't have many friends but the ones she had loved her so much" numbness was all I felt. I couldn't hide it. My voice had no emotion in it.

"I didn't know Trinity for that long. But the time we spent together was the best time of my life. She quickly became family to me"

I heard her mother quietly scoff

I gritted my teeth "I wish Trinity talked to me more about the issues she had. I wish I could have done more to help her"

"Issues? She was a druggie! Can't help a lost cause!" Her mother yelled out. Trinity's sister giggled

I snapped "why the fuck are you here Mrs.Lock!? You clearly don't care for your daughter"

Mrs. Lock looked shocked at my outburst

"I do care! I'm just saying. You talk about her like she wasn't using you. She played the part. Got money from you and did the drugs"

"She didn't 'play the part'! She was trying to get clean! She got clean! Then She was trying to stay clean!" At this point Goku and Vegeta were by my side trying to calm me down

"Oh please. She was always trying to get clean or stay clean" her mother rolled her eyes

"She left Carsons house. She came with me to a good neighborhood. She had a job. She made her own money and lived a happy life! She went to the mall with friends and binge watched TV shows with me! Her smile was bright and joyful! Her needle marks were fading away! She was fucking trying!!"

Her mother was silent.

"But for some reason she didn't talk to me. She spoke to me yes but she didn't talk. She didn't tell me she was struggling. She didn't tell me about her demons she fought. She didn't tell me she wanted to do drugs again. For some reason she couldn't talk to me!!! She didn't fail me! I fucking failed her! We all did!!" The numbness was gone and all I felt was heartbreak. My heart physically hurt as tears fell from my eyes. My fists were balled up so tight my skin was turning white. My nails had drawn blood from my palms and I was shaking.

Vegeta pulled me away from the stand and into the next room

"I wasn't done talking!" I screamed at him

"Yes you were" he softly said

I fell to my knees and cried into my hands. Blood and tears covered my face

Rebecca came into the room and told Vegeta to leave.

She knelt down and hugged me tightly as I broke down.

"It's okay. She loved you" she whispered into my ear

"You didn't fail her. None of us did. She chose to do the things she did. She knew she had help but kept silent. Don't blame yourself but don't blame her" Rebecca cleaned my face off

"What you said out there really got to her mother. She left in tears. I'm sure she does love and care for Trinity but I'm sure she became numb to it like you were. It took a good speech and some yelling to make her feel again" Rebecca chuckled a little

I cleaned myself up and went back out there. Trinity's mother and sister also came back. We took turns visiting her casket one last time before we closed it up. She looked so beautiful..so peaceful. Her blonde straight hair lay on her shoulders. We requested she not have any makeup on. She hated that. But her lips were painted to look like her normal rosie color. Her freckles were touched up a bit with makeup.

She wore her one of favorite band shirts and leggings. I touched her cold hand and smiled at her. She finally felt peace. She didn't have to fight her monsters anymore.

They closed the casket and the boys carried her to the car.

Before we drove off her mother stopped us

"I...I um....can she be buried with our family..?" She said softly

I nodded yes and she handed me the address

We drove to a huge graveyard. They just finished digging her plot up.

We said our final goodbyes and lowered her into the ground. I hugged her mother and handed her one of Trinity's favorite shirt.

She gripped it tightly and cried.

I turned towards the grave once more

"Goodbye Trinity"
