To Be Loved

Chapter 1: The Funeral

This is for you ale!!!

The dance studio has been closed for some amount of time I don't really want to count the days since I lost the only person closer to me than my family. I haven't spoken with anyone since her death. It just really sucked all the life out of me. Today is her funeral and I'm sitting here next to Jesse and his family, because my father just couldn't make the time and my brother is somewhere in california doing a big movie. I have such a great family huh?

Everyone has went and viewed the body but me. I didn't even go to see my own mother's body at her funeral. What's the point of going up and seeing the dead lifeless body of a loved one you'll never see or hear from again. Its even more depressing than the persons actual death.They beginm to show pictures of her and her students,when one of her and I show up i start freaking. I need to get out of here . I can't take this its too much.

As I make a move to get up Jesse grabs my arm and pulls me down while whispering "Alina this is your last chance to see her before she's six feet under are you really going to make a run for it? I'll come with you to see her, I'll be right next to you the whole time ready to catch you when you fall okay? Don't be afraid come on."

I simply nodded and got up holding his hand tightly. We walked to the front together and my heart was racing. I'm not afraid, I'm terrified of what I will see when we get up there. I started to chicken out and turn back around but Jesse shook his head no and I continued on my path toward a final goodbye with a woman who loved me more than anyone else.

When we got to her casket, I let go of Jesse's hand and took her cold, pale ones in mine. I began thinking about all the good times we'd had and everything she's done for me. She was my only bestfriend for fifteen years. I'd told her all my secrets and she'd tell me all hers. I guess she was the mother I've always wanted. She taught me so many lessons about life and happiness. I never want to forget her or any of our memories.

I whispered a single "I love you" hugged Jesse and walked back to the pew.

After the 'wake' all of her students went up and said a few words on her behalf. I'm next to go up, then Jesse; I shed a few tears but said what I needed to. I remind everyone about all the good she's done and how she will be missed. As I get off the alter Jesse gets on. "Everyone who knew Ms.Trinity probably loved her, she was a great friend, a beautiful dancer, and a truly good person. She may have been harsh on us at times, but we all knew it was for the best. She loved her students and made sure that we all did our best. She gave great lectures and talks about everything we needed to get through life. I believe her main goal for all her little dancers was that we succeed and get through life as best as we can. So from this day on let us keep Ms.Trinity Grey close to our hearts and let her spirit live on forever as she watches over us. Thank you." I was in tears and smiling by the end of his little speech, who am I kidding everyone was.

1 hour later......

"You know before she died she told me something," Jesse said as he wrapped his arms around me.

"Oh yeah what did she say?" I said curiously.

"She told me to take care and watch over you," he replied. Knowing her she probably said something else.

"What else?"

"She also said that you've had a crush on me for 13 years, that you love my hair and never to break your heart. And she promised me that if I was ever the reason for your tears, she would pull my toes and haunt me in my dreams." By this time I was flushed red with my face buried in Jesse's oh so toned chest. "Old hag I hope she burns in hell." I mumbled. Jesse just chuckled and took hold of my face. "I'm very happy she told me that Isabelle, because I feel the exact same way about you." He then started leaning in and............
