20: Ellie Thumann

Dedicated to: hiim1lonelyperson bc you are special 💗

*Unknown POV*

In the days after the most heartbreaking day of her life, Emma found herself in a crowd of people. Some she recognized and others not so much. She clung to Ethan's arm as she sobbed silently in her seat.

This was Ellie Thumann's funeral. Emma's best friend, the squads friend. Nothing was going to be the same without her. They were supposed to graduate together and get married and have kids. But now all of that was taken from Ellie and her friends because of Derrick.

Derrick was obviously locked up for all previous mentioned charges and a new one added, murder.

Ethan held his girlfriend closely and watched as Grayson and James hugged each other tightly. Ellie's parents were walking around and gaining love from everyone there. Eventually it was time for people to say whatever they wanted about Ellie. Of course Emma stood. She shakily walked in front of the crowd. Ethan was suddenly reminded of his dads funeral and his eyes teared up. Everyone got quiet as Emma sniffled into the microphone, glancing into the crowd at Ethan and her parents who were also there. Emma gulped, using a tissue to try and wipe her tears.

"I-I wanna st-start by saying that E-Ellie was my soulmate. S-She was the person that I- she was the person I could go to for anything. She knew if I was sad, I knew if she was sad, but we have each other- I guess I can't even say that anymore," Emma sobbed a bit. "Ellie was the type of friend that would do anything for you. She was my only friend at times, and s-she didn't ask for t-this. I-We wanted to graduate together, we wanted to get married at the same time, and we even wanted to h-have kids at the same time," she glanced at Ethan.

"I love you," he mouthed as a tear escaped his eye.

"W-we wanted to be called 'auntie Emma and auntie Ellie' by each other's kids and I'd always tell her 'Ellie, y-you w-ould be the best d-damn aunt in the w-world," people laughed and Emma smiled. "I'm gonna miss you El, and I promise that when I graduate, you will be remembered. You will graduate too." Everyone clapped and Emma made her way back to her seat, sobbing once again into a crying Ethan's side under his arm.

A few more people went and spoke about the memories they made with Ellie, including Grayson and James. Once the service was over they all met at the twins car and got in. The sound of shaky breaths being heard and tissues being squeezed for wiping tears.

Grayson drove them back to he and Ethan's house and they all gathered in the living room floor and shared pictures that they all had of Ellie. Some made them laugh and others made them cry. Grayson and James eventually headed up to Grayson's room.

Emma and Ethan cuddled on the couch and Ethan played with the tips of her hair. She watched him silently with tear stained cheeks. He leaned down and placed a kiss to her forehead. She returned her affection by grabbing his hands and placing a soft kiss to them.

"So Ellie was your soulmate?" Ethan asked. Emma looked up at him.

"Yes, why?" Emma asked.

"Because I think you where right," Ethan said. He did think she was right. That's how much they loved each other. Ethan knew Emma didn't mean it towards him in anyway, their love for each other was different.

"Oh," Emma said.

Ethan continued to play with her hair and she cuddled close to his chest, smelling his cologne. Ethan wrapped his legs around her body and closed his eyes, breathing calmly, feeling Emma's breath through his shirt. Rain began to pound on the roof as they both drifted into a deep sleep, holding onto each other a little bit tighter than before.
