Ally's Dreams

Chapter 38- Afire Love

(A/N- Play song when you see the next authors note)

HARRY POV
Today is the day I've been dreading for weeks; the funeral. I struggle with my tie four times before giving up. I pull my grey suit jacket over my black smart shirt, grey smart trousers and my black dress shoes. There's a knock on my hotel room door, Lin enters with Sam and Rio following close behind. Both of them have puffy cheeks and bloodshot eyes, unlike them I've been trying to hold my tears inside. This going to one of the worst days of my life. "I know it was a sudden death" I berry my head into Lin hair. She right it was. I feel two hands rap around my leg. I look down to see Rio, and then Sam wiggles in the middle of us.
...
The bench in the church is cold when I sit down. I look at the front of the room and then lose it, tears flow done my red cheeks and then drop onto my trousers, Sam takes the seat next to me. Then the priest begins, I look around the room and see that there's not one dry eye in the room. Before I know it my dad nudges me, I shake my head trying to focus "Harry?" the priest asks. Everyone eyes are on me, I'm not normally that bothered by people looking at me but today it different. My walls are down and I'm vulnerable. I get up from the bench and then take my place behind the podium, while trying to avoid looking at the coffin. "H-hi" I stutter into the microphone and my voice echoes through the church. "Hi everyone, thank you for coming today" I close my eyes and take a deep breath "It would mean a lot to granddad" My dear old granddad, I never really saw him well. I remember begin six when he was diagnosed with alltimers. I remember my dad being so upset that his dad could remember him. "He was a great man" I look over at my poor Nan; tear streamed down her face as she sat in her wheelchair. "I had a really special bond with granddad, he was the man who gave me the courage to sing" he'd been the one to buy me first my first guitar. "I'm not very good with words, but I'm okay at singing so I'm going to do that instead" I lift my guitar from the ground next to me, I strum a few notes. "I was once told that you can love someone so much, but you can never love people as much as you can miss them" I take a large breath "This is called Afire Love and It's for you granddad" (A/N play song here)

"Things were all good yesterday
And then the devil took your memory
And if you fell to your death today
I hope that heaven is your resting place
I heard the doctors put your chest in pain
But then that could've been the medicine
And now you're lying in the bed again
Either way I'll cry with the rest of them"

I try and remember the moment that I'm singing about

"And my father told me, son
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face
And you're not the only one
Although my grandma used to say
That he used to sing.
Darling, hold me in your arms the way you did last night
And we'll lie inside for a little while, here oh
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up
And we're wrapped in light, in life, in love
Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
For they're designed to be together, oh
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
And we're set alight, we're afire love"

I look up and my Nan gives me a small smile

"Things were all good yesterday
But then the devil took your breath away
And now we're left here in the pain
Black suit, black tie, standing in the rain
And now my family is one again
Stapled together with the strangers and a friend
Came to my mind, I should paint it with a pen
Six years old, I remember when
My father told me, son
It's not his fault he doesn't know your face
And you're not the only one
Although my grandma used to say
He used to sing.
Darling, hold me in your arms the way you did last night
And we'll lie inside for a little while, here oh
I could look into your eyes until the sun comes up
And we're wrapped in light, in life, in love
Put your open lips on mine and slowly let them shut
For they're designed to be together, oh
With your body next to mine our hearts will beat as one
And we're set alight, we're afire love
And my father and all of my family rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
And my mother and all of my family rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
And my brother and all of my family rise from their seats to sing hallelujah
And my father and all of my family rise from their seats to sing hallelujah"

The tears spill out of my eyes.
Ally comes to my mind; Gus still hasn't called with any news. What happens if she's dying?

Ally POV
I thought I was dead. The darkness had consumed me. The pain had left. And when I opening my eyes I saw nothing but light.
All the pain slowly came back. I racked my brain trying to figure out what had happened but everything was blank. I remember croaking "Am I in Heaven?" I say not to anyone in particular.
Someone chucks "No" I sigh "I knew I'd go to hell..." I felt something in hands "not there either" my eyes had flash open, the white burns my eyes. When they finally came into focus I see Gus. "Gus" I had question.
"I'm here Ally" he'd answers. Then I realised that it the lights from the hospital room that had been white. Then my memory came back, I remember the accident, dad, Will and the baby. THE BABY scream out in my head. "The baby?" my voice then sounds more like my voice. "You and the baby are both fine" Gus thumb draws circles on my hand. "What about dad and Will?" I looked around at Gus; all he'd done was look down and then began to cry.
