Amnesia // Luke Hemmings

Chapter 35

*Luke's P.O.V.*

I suddenly freeze. The people all turn their heads as I stand to walk over to the podium. Reaching into my pocket, I pull out a neatly folded paper.

"Hello everyone," I say "My name is Luke Robert Hemmings. I am a boy who was deep in love with a girl. This girl was no ordinary person, she was special. I love- loved this girl. Sadly, she is no longer with us anymore. This girl happened to be Katrina. I was in love with her so much. You may look at me right and say, Isn't he a bit too young to love? No. Love isn't measured by time. It's just about the connection between the two. Katrina and I, we had a lot of connection. She meant the world to me. My whole life revolved around her. I loved her so much. She was an extemely beautiful, gentle, and caring girl. Whenever she smiled, my whole body would light up with joy. I miss her. I miss her so much. Just like everyone in this place, I want her back on Earth. Without her, I feel like I'm missing something. It's like apart of me is gone. She loved me, and I loved her. We spent so much time together, despite the past. I thought I finally had her back after what happened but she was taken away from me. I realize now we should not take anything for granted. Everyone. Look at the person you love or think about them. What would you do if you lost them? Think about it. You wouldn't know. Now, when was the last time you've told them they mean a lot to you? If you haven't told them in the last twenty four hours tell them now. Tell the person you love that you care about them the most. Trust me, it'd make them very happy. Back onto Katrina, I miss her so goddamn much. If I could do anything to bring her back, I would. I'd rather it'd be me who was dead and her alive. We all miss her. She was a wonderful person we all miss and dearly loved. One day me and her will be reunited in heaven. I can only count down the days 'til down. But for now, let's bow our heads in memory of Katrina McVey, an angel now in heaven."

I look onto the crowd, everyone with their head faced down. I look to my shoes and squeeze my eyes shut. A few tears fall from my eyes, I miss her. After a minute, the priest begins another prayer and it's now time for the casket to go underneath the ground.

"I'll miss you so much, I love you." I whisper.

The other men begin to fill the hole with dirt, my heart hurting every time it comes in contact with the casket. In two minutes, the ground looks as if it hasn't been touched. A tombstone is placed on top. I head back to my seat and pick up a flower.

Kneeling back at her resting place, I place the flower, "I'll never forget you."

"Come on Luke, we have to go." My mum tells me.

"Okay." I stand up, wiping tears from my eyes.

We head back into the car and I can't help to stare at the spot where she's buried. She's no longer with me, she's gone. I can't forget her. Will I ever be able to move on? Rain starts falling. It fits the current mood of the day.

My mum pulls into the driveway, and I get out the car. I hurriedly walk inside, ignoring whatever my mum was saying. I think I'm in the denial stage right now. I just want this to be all over. I don't even want to remember any of this.

I groan as I fall onto my bed. My whole body feels ache. There's a stabbing pain in my chest. Everything hurts so much. I don't know how I'm going to get through all this every single day. Will I be able to?

She hates you.

"What? Who said that?" I say, confused.

It's all your fault.

"No it's not!" I look around to see if anyone is in here. It's just me in this room.

You're the reason she's dead.
