"Skylar, Steve is here sweetie!" My mom yells from the living room as I slip on my heels.
"Bye mom, bye Dustin!" I yell walking out of the house to Steve's car.
"You ready?" Steve asks looking over at me.
"Yeah, I wouldn't miss Barb's funeral for anything." I pat my thighs as we head to the ceremony. When we get there I see Nancy and Jonathan talking to each other.
"You're strong, Sky." Steve grabs my hand giving it a tight squeeze and I nod my head getting out. Steve walks over to my side and makes me hold onto his arm as we walk towards everyone.
"Skylar," Nancy hugs me and I hug her back as Jonathan and Steve watch us. We both pull back and nod at each other with a sweet smile.
I feel Steve come up behind me and rub my back and Nancy looks at him. "Barb needed this. We're here for her." Steve moves his hands to my shoulders and I nod my head.
"Skylar sweetie." Barb's mom cries giving me a hug and I let a few tears fall.
"I miss her too." I pull out of the hug and she goes to her husband. I wipe away my tears and walk away a little from the group of people.
"I know you were closer to her more than Nancy was. I saw you two together all the time." Steve says while hugging me from behind making me cry. "Let it out, Sky." He turns me around pulling me into his chest rubbing my back.

After the funeral, the four of us decided to go eat out at a nearby diner to hang out. Both Steve and Jonathan were in the bathroom at the moment leaving me and Nancy alone. "You and Steve seem close now," Nancy says resting her head in her hands looking at me.
"Well last month we were around each other a lot because of Dustin, and because you and Jonathan disappeared on us," I say playing with my drink.
"Do you like him?" She asks making me look up at her.
"What? Why would you ask that?" I say making her giggle.
"You didn't say no." She smirks at me.
"And I didn't say yes either. Steve still hurts and I don't know. He's sweet but... we just started to actually talk to each other since he stopped being a dick to me." I go back to playing with my drink.
"It's my fault, I didn't even know what I felt about us after knowing Jonathan more. You know what I mean?" She asks moving my drink away from me.
"Yeah, I know what you mean." I take my drink back as the boys came back.
"What you ladies talking about?" Jonathan asks sliding next to Nancy while Steve sits next to me.
"Our little brothers." I lie and she plays along with it.
