Bethany's POV
We've been the the car for a few hours now. Even though Maddy is Australian, her family moved to California in 2009. I hear a sob escape Maddy's lips the Cab driver doesn't seem to mind, but I'm here for her.
"It's okay" I say and pull her into a hug. She cries a bit more, but recovering.
She sits up and stares out the window, with tear glossed eyes. I really feel for her. She's got no one left. It's up to us now to be amazing friends. I swear if harry is a jerk I will kill him, but from what I've heard on their date, he's going no where.

"Now, Maddy, the daughter and grandchild, would like to say a few words" the priest calls Maddy up to speak. I feel like we're in the fault in our stars, this is so sad. I see her trying to swallow her tears before she speaks. She's standing in front of the few people trembling.
"I would like to say, that through everything we went through as a family, we always bounced back. We were very close, having only each other. They will always remain in my mind and in my heart, my mum and dad will always remain my heroes and my grandparents my guardian angels. Thank you" she finishes before crying once again. She's brought everyone to tears. I didn't know her family but I'm crying, it's so sad.
"May they rest in peace" the priest says a prayer and we all join in. They are lowered into the graves and flowers are placed.
"Your very brave dear. We were so close also" an old lady is speaking to Maddy, assuming she's her grandmas friend.
A few more people say some words to her before everyone's pretty much gone.
"It's okay Maddy, I know it's hard" I hug her once again as she's having trouble comprehending the whole thing.
"I wish it was that simple" she says before sobbing into my shoulder. I wish harry was here to kiss her and tell her it's okay.
We are now heading for our hotel. It's Saturday night, and it's raining and cold. Hm.
"I just wish I could say goodbye properly" she starts, Maddy is looking at a family photo. It's very old and torn but I guess it's the closet thing she has to them.
"I know" I tell her.
"It's just that the last time I spoke to mum we were fighting over the phone. I just said 'whatever' and hung up on her. Now she's dead. I never even got to tell her I loved her one last time" she cries, and cries. I'm also tearing up. How awful.

Maddy's been crying all night. I'm trying to sleep but I can't, not with her crying her eyes out across the room. I guess she's also trying to sleep. Crying yourself to sleep is never a good feeling.
"Do you wanna just stay up and talk ?" I ask her rolling over facing her bed where she's lying staring into the ceiling clutching the same family photo from before.
"If you don't mind ?" She asks looking at me with red eyes and a puffy face.
"I can't sleep either so it's the only option" I tell her smiling and she forces one.
"So, happy things or sad things ?" I ask her.
"Happy things" she says sitting herself up in her bed.
"Alright. So, you and Harry ?" I ask, already knowing the answer. She smiles just at the mention of his name.
"I've got the photo on me now ! Here" she says passing the picture that Harry gave her to me. It's adorable.
"Awe. He's a keeper" the picture he's kissing her cheek and she smiling brightly.
"I know ! He even invited me to stay at his mums house while you guys are in the trip" she says smiling into space. The room falls silent.
"But what about you and Niall ? So adorable" she squeaks.
"Yeah. He's pretty cute" I say "but the accent makes him 100 times more loveable" I say and she nods.
"Yeah it does !" She agrees.
"But I knew from the day I bumped into him, asking him for directions when what I was looking for was right in front of me" I tell her.
"That's so sweet" she replies.
"No, seriously, I asked him for directions to the main hall and it was right in vision in front of me" she laughs.
"Oh" she's shaking her head and laughing, I'm making her laugh it's taking her mind of reality, good.
We continue talking and laughing. I get a message from Liam.
'Beth, you need to come home quick' it reads my face turns horrified.
'What's wrong ?' I reply
'It's Niall, he's been hit by a car, he just woke up and is demanding to see you. He doesn't remember the near past' .
Oh my god.
