Chapter 90 funeral (2)

Anna's POV
I held Cassie's hand as we both headed over to the main building where we would all say our goodbyes. As we walked straight in I could feel the wood creaking underneath our feet and the wind slightly blowing a chill on my chest. I felt Cassie's hand grip me tighter as we saw the two coffins. I quickly picked her up, it was getting harder to do this since she was getting so big so fast.

I held onto her as I joined everyone else. As I looked around I realized it was only me my mother and father, my one cousin Nick, my grandma Rosa, and her husband kert my step-grandfather, and a few other friends of Jaz and Jamie who I didn't recognize.

I set Cassie down as I felt someone tap my shoulder. Shawn? Nope, but I was still surprised, it was Jamie's best friend and my ex-crush Drew.

"Drew?"

"Hey Anna"

He quickly engulfs me in a big hug, but I don't resist. I think I needed this as much as he did. We held onto each other until I felt someone tug drew away from me.

"Oh my god drew I haven't seen you in ages" my mother says hugging him.

He happily returns the hug as he says "I'm so sorry for your loss" he looked like he was on the verge of tears. Now I know it would have been nicer to look away but I just kept looking.

"He was just as much your loss as mine" my mother says making eye contact with him.

I decided i better let the two of them have their own private conversation so I went to go sit next to Cassie. She was currently twiddling with her thumbs as I stroked her hair trying to get some of the knots out of it.

As everyone had finally all sat down my,mother went up and said "now I thank you all for coming to help honor my two children, today I feel like I have lost a part of me. I truly have no children now" seriously, what was I to her then. We're at my siblings funeral and she still finds a way to make it about her. "But today's not about me, it's about honoring my beautiful children who I spent 9 months making. They were the best thing to happen to me, and now they're gone. I really did try to negotiate with those terrible people but they just were so cruel" she started to sniff and cry, but I could tell immediately that it was fake. "My children deserved better" she left the stage and silence filled the room.

That was the worst thing she could've ever done, even when both her children are dead she somehow still finds a way to make everything about her.

Now I knew it always felt my mother didn't care about me but when she said this it all just really hit me, I really did have no one. Well except for Cassie, but I don't know what will happen to her. Who are her godparents? Surely one of Jamie's friends.

As the first part of the ceremony ended and we all headed to the cars I had volunteered to take Cassie with me but I was having a put feeling, like I couldn't continue sitting through all of this anymore.

As Cassie and I got into the car I heard a knock on the window.

Drew.

I unlocked the car as he hopped in.

"I don't think I can go to the rest of this" I say.

"What do you mean." He asks

"Want to ditch the rest of this?" I ask him still keeping my eyes on the window.

"Sure" he says

I turn back to Cassie as she nods her head in agreement.

I start the car and drive as far away as I could from everything and everyone else.
