All I Want - Sequel to Fix You - (Jai Waetford)

Chapter 25

Everyday got harder as I remembered the great person Celia was. A week later and it was her funeral. I open my wardrobe and pick out a long sleeved white shirt, long black pants and no tie. I've never owned a tie and probably never will. I style my hair a bit and then I walk slowly down to my mother who is waiting in the car and I get in. It was a short drive and when I hoped out of the car everything I dreaded was there, people dressed in black, some crying, some laughing, and some just standing there. I walk up to Jack and he hugs me. Well, this is weird.

"Uh. Hi, Jack." I say.

"Hi."

"Are you okay? You've never hugged me before." I say and he shakes head.

"No. Of course I'm not okay! I am at my sisters funeral!" He says, almost yells.

"Jack. Calm down. Everything's going to be okay." Bailey says, I look away from the two siblings and then feel a hand on my shoulder.

"Jai." A small Bailey sounding voice says and I look over at her. She was only centimetres away from me so I stepped backwards and walked away. I didn't recognise a lot of the people here, but when I saw Celia's father I almost tackled him to the ground. I hated him. I had thought a lot in the last week and I knew Celia meant 'them' as in her father and the bullies. Her father was repeatedly mean to her and never treated her fairly. I wish I could have done something.

We all start to head inside and Celia's mother tells me, Jack, my mum and Bailey to sit up the front. Everyone except for me, Jack and my mum went up for the viewing, well most people did. I didn't want to see her, not now. Not the way she is now. Not breathing. Laying motionless... Dead.

Everyone sits down and the celebrant walks up to the microphone. He begins talking and all I can hear is a blur and see a blur. I see Celia, when I met her, then when my family got together that time, then the time she had a nervous breakdown, last time she left Australia, Bailey, seeing Celia again after she left and came back, when she tried to die, and now. All a flashback of the major events through our time together, from the good to the bad.

I look over and see Bailey. She was crying. I can't tell Jack to hit Bailey. Even though Celia warned me, it looked like real tears. I look around the room a little bit more and a lot of people give me sympathetic smiles.

After the ceremony I got out of that room as fast as I could. I couldn't stay in there.

"Jai! Wait!" Bailey calls after me. She touches my back and I swing around.

"Are you okay?" She asks and I don't answer. I just stare at her.

"Did you even care about Celia?" I ask.

"Of course I did! She was my twin sister!"

"Then why'd you bully her? She got bullied! She didn't tell me, but sure as hell I know what happened. One day, I found her in the library 'looking for books'" I say.

"So? She was looking for books!" Bailey tries to defend herself.

"No, Bailey. She was hiding from you! You broke up with me because I wanted to help Celia! You got jealous and you wanted pay back so you went and bullied her." I say.

"You need help. Serious help!" She says, but I ignore her statement.

"Now, you cry at her funeral. At the girl's funeral you practically..." I say but Jack was pulling me away from Bailey and I didn't get to finish my sentence.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" He says while we're out of sight.

"A lot apparently." I say.

"Bailey didn't bully Celia!" Jack says.

"Yeah. She did. Celia was hiding from her everyday!" I say.

"Jai. Say sorry to her." He says.

"No!" I say.

"Please?" He asks.

"And if I don't?" I ask.

"I'll hurt you." He says.

"Hurt me then." I say with a evil grin.

"Just do it!" He says.

"No." I say and he kicks me in the shin, too be honest it did not hurt at all.

"Ow." I say, sarcastically, "The pain."

"Go, tell her your sorry and say that you don't believe she bullied Celia."

"Whatever." I groan and turn away from him, walking towards where Bailey sits on the side of the car park road. I sit down next to her and she ignores me so, as I do, I sit there awkwardly and silently.

"Why'd you sit next to me?" She asks.

"I don't know." I say.

"Jai." Jack says as he stands next to me, making sure I say it.

"I'm... sorry for accusing you of doing that to Celia, even though it's true."

"Jai!" Jack says, a little more harsher than before. I groan once more and continue my apology.

"I'm sorry for everything. I don't believe it's true that you bullied Celia. Goodbye." I say and walk away to the wake. The part after the ceremony where everyone is supposed to be happy and talking about how much they loved Celia and blah, blah, blah. I stay in the corner the whole time, a couple of people walked up to me and tried to make conversation, but after a couple of sentences I ignore them.

"Hi Jai." A man about 5'10, who I believe to be Celia's uncle, says to me as he sits in the chair next to me.

"Hi." I say in a low and bored voice.

"You were a good boyfriend to Celia." He says.

"Thanks." I say, still in a bored tone. I'm desperate to get this man to go away. He looks over at me once more and walks away. Gee, some people can be so annoying. My mum and I were two of the last ones to leave and it annoyed me because Celia's dad decided to talk to me.

"Thanks for helping Celia. You changed her a lot. She was sort of a bitch and you made her be nice." He says. I resist the urge to yell at him for calling Celia a bitch.

"Thank you, Mr Vidgen, but I don't agree that she was a bitch. She seemed nice when I met her. She may have been depressed, but that doesn't make her a bitch." I say and he is taken aback. My mum could see I was getting angry so she decided we should go.

"We should go now, Jai. Come on." She says and pulls my arm, I follow her to the door then look back at Celia's father.

"You didn't even know your own daughter. That's quite sad." I say and follow my mum out of the door. I see Celia's coffin being driven to the other side of the cemetery and I just ignore it. Usually I'd not just ignore things, but what else was I going to do? We drive home and I go straight to my room. When dinner comes around my mum brings up a ham sandwich, but I don't eat it. I was thinking too much to eat.

Other fan fiction writers say 'fan' at the end of their chapters in the Authors Note? What's it mean? Is it like fan as in 'OMG I LOVE THIS CHAPTER'?

Bye Waetforders!!
