(Holly's P.O.V) 

"What the hell are you doing? Are you crazy! I could've killed you!" The driver of the lorry yelled. My heart raced like crazy. My feet were frozen onto the concrete road. "Hey! Are you bloody crazy?" I stood on the ground, trembling like fuck.  

"Holly!" It was a familiar voice coming from a distance, Charles. He goes to school with me and lived a couple of doors away from me. He wore a black suit and his hair was in small quiff. Why is everyone obbsessed with quiffs? Eh, It looks cute. My eyes followed his movement as he stood in front of me. "Why the hell are you yelling at her for?" 

"She..." 

"No! Can't you see she's clearly upset? Why are adding to it?" 

"Charlie, let's go." I tugged on his sleeve. He listened and held my hand and got to the side walk. The man mumbled swear words under his breath and drove off in his lorry. 

"Are you okay?" He asked wrapping his arms around me, rubbing his thumb in circles on my back. 

"I feel like it's all my fault. It's always me..."

"It's not your fault. You didn't plan on this. Nothing is your fault. Just let it out." He whispered. Charlie and Emily were the closest person to me. I could tell them anything. When I was getting bullied at school; they'd always stick up for me. I'm so glad to have him around. 

"Did you come looking for me?" I asked as we went to sit onto the bench.  

"Yeah, you run really fast! You almost blew me off running out the church!" 

"That was you? O well, I don't get medals for nothing!" I chuckled lightly.

"I think we should get back?" He intertwined his fingers with mine as he stood onto his feet. 

"Okay" I whispered. 

We reached the graveyard by the Church where everybody was gathered. Me and Charlie decided to keep it to ourselves to what had just happened with the Lorry driver. Everyone would have a major freak out! Can't be bothered for that.

Uncle Danny ran towards me and sat on his knees, "Oh honey! I'm so sorry! You shouldn't have to go through this. Are you okay?" He saw mine and Charlie's hands and his eyes questioned it, but he said nothing. I nodded and walked to where the rectangular holes were dug in the ground. 

They were laying them into their own personal big, dark hole. All alone. They were all in line with my dad's; John Lewis Williams, James Aiden Williams, Sophia Carter John Lewis Williams. I couldn't look so I turned and dug my face into Charlie's shoulder.   

"Hol? Are you going to give your stuff to them?" Luke asked. I left go off Charlie's grip and went over to Danny and collected the copies of the family photo of when we were young in London and I got the mixture of lilies and roses, I had made into a little bouquet. 3 bouquet's. I stood in between the 6ft hole's and dropped the flowers in sync and then the photo's and then went to Dad's and settled it upon his. Everybody went and let their things onto James and Mum's coffin. The funeral directory people begun to put the soil to fill the space. 

Luke and James's friends put different superhero characters around his grave. Batman, Superman, Superwomen, Spiderman and loads of others to portray a shield. It was really nice of them. I loved it!  

Liz, I and the all the ladies, most of them were girls; decorated mum's grave with different coloured roses as she loved them so much.  

The people from the military including Danny, laid down metal crosses which were like Victoria crosses but were fake, because you can't leave stuff like that laying around.

One of the military officers walked over to me; "Hi Holly, My name is Dean Waters. So Holly, do you want to take this for your Dad?" I picked up the leather box from his hands and opened it, it was an actual Victoria Cross; it were earned for bravery in British Army. 

"Why now?"  

"I bet your Dad wanted you to have it, you've been ever so brave! You’re a role model to everyone around you - it's as equal as being a soldier, serving their nation." 

"Thank you." He stood up straight and saluted and I mimicked with a slight smirk of embarrassment because everyone was watching me.
