It hurt to know that Rose couldnt make the funeral. Bethany didn't have any other family, the church was empty with the exception of me. This past week was hell. Gary hasn't talked to me at all. I think he was gonna try on Monday morning after the assembly announcing Bethany's passing, it was my fault for shutting him out like I did.
"Kennedy.." I dont know how I didn't see Gary sitting at the back of the church before now, I also didn't know what was with my luck lately.
"What are you doing here?" I asked, adjusting my dress and necklace, my nerves causing me to breathe heavily. I tensed up, trying to avoid crying.
"I just wanted to make sure you were okay." Gary reached for my hand. Reluctantly, I took his in mine. "You wern't at school..then I heard about Bethany..."
"Yeah..." I let a tear fall down. Fuck. "She was the only person in this whole world that wouldn't judge me." By now, I was crying. I sat next to Gary on the bench. Some of my short blonde hair had stuck to my face.
"Hey. Kennedy look at me.. it's gonna be okay I promise."
"Well thanks for coming. Nobody else cared to." I looked away from him as I got up to leave.
"Maybe you shouldn't be alone."
"I'm fine. You don't have to waste your time on me." For dramatic effect, I stood in the door way of the church. Gary was facing me, but he was still glued to the bench.
"Please Kennedy."
After alot of persuading, I gave into him. When I was brushing him off I had no intentions of being offensive, I just wanted my tough girl image to stand.
"So." I looked around, observing Gary still sitting on his bed in silence. "You know that nobody else really cared about her.."
"But you did. You're a good person. Beileve me on this." It was hard for me to not retort back with a rather self destructive statement.
I sat myself next to him. "Thanks for being there. I'd never tell you this before now, but if you hadn't, I would've joined Bethany. I've got one foot in the grave already."
Gary didn't say anything after that, he was dangerously silent. With him not saying a word, it let my thoughts and eyes do the talking. You see, that was the dangrous part. If I hadn't let my physical feelings take over me maybe I wouldn't have kissed him.
