Brooks P.O.V

The next morning I woke up to an empty room. All my furniture was gone it was only me and my bed. I was confused how I didn't hear the movers get my dressers. I decided to walk into the living room. Once I walked in the living room I saw Simon and the movers. The movers were grabbing the last piece of furniture. Simon was standing by the front door drinking a water bottle.
"Hey Brook" he said
"Hi"? I said curiously
"Are you okay"? he asked
"Ya but when did you guys get my furniture out of my room"? I asked
"Like an hour ago your a deep sleeper" he said laughing
"Oh are they going to take my bed"?
"Ya I'll tell them right now. I didn't want to wake you so I told them to get your bed later on". he said
"Oh okay thanks'' I said
The movers got my bed as Simon and I got ready for the funeral. I was looking through boxes with my clothes in them to find something black to where for the funeral. I found a black short dress with black heels. I thought I looked okay but I looked depressed.
"Brook are you ready". Simon said from the living room.
I walked out to see the movers leaving and Simon giving them a generous tip. How does he have the money to give the movers that big of a tip I thought.
"You look very pretty". Simon said
"Thank you" I said
"You ready to go"? he asked
"Ya"
Once we got into his car we headed to the church. There were a lot of people here. Friends, Family Friends and people that were friends of my parents.
An hour went by of talking to people and telling them what exactly happen it was hard to say but I managed to do it. It was now time to say a speech in front of the whole church. I've never done so good talking in front of large crowds. Once I walked up to the front I felt my face heat up.
"Um hi everyone thank you all for coming it means a lot". I said
"We'll everyone here knows my parents Becky and Travis. Nobody knew this was going to happen this way or anytime soon. My parents were great people they would never put themselves first. Knowing that I won't be with them for awhile, I know they will always be with me. Last night they were in my dream, it was the 3 of us they told me to enjoy my life and that there with me. I know I can count on them even though there not here, there always going to be looking down at me. All I can really say is they had a great life and they would all want us to be happy and enjoy life".
Everyone clapped some even cried but it showed that they actually cared. They care what changes are happening in my life and that's all I can ask for. I thought
"Brook that was a very good speech I'm so proud of you". Simon said giving me a hug.
"Brook"? Ariana said
"I'll leave you two alone". Simon said while walking away
"Brook I have to go but I wanted to say bye".
Before I answered I gave her a big hug".
"Ariana I'm going to miss you so much". I said while still hugging her
"I'm going to miss you too do you really have to leave". she said with a little laugh
"Sadly yes" I said with a little laugh too
We finally ended are hug and it turned out we were both crying.
"You have to text and call me everyday okay." Ariana said
"I will." I said giving her another hug
"Have fun in London" she said letting go of the huge.
"Thanks" I said not knowing what to say anymore who knew saying goodbye could be so hard.
"I love you be safe if u need anything call me" she said giving me a short hug.
"Okay thank you I love you too". I said
She walked away giving me a small smile still slightly crying.
The same thing happen with Nicole.
The funeral finally ended and it's 11pm Simon and I have one hour till our flight to London. We're going back to my house to get the boxes from my room.
"We have to be fast or else we'll miss our flight". Simon said.
"okay" I said.
Once we parked in front of my house I went to my room and grabbed some boxes and put them in the car. After doing that I went in the car and we started driving. I hope I didn't forget anythin-
"STOP THE CAR" I yelled as he stopped on the brakes.
I ran out of the car and ran straight to my house. Luckily we were just down the block.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING"?! I heard Simon yelled
"ILL BE RIGHT BACK". I yelled
Once I got into the house I went straight to my parents room and there was a little door to in my parents wall there was a lock on it. I walked into my the kitchen and in the cabinet there was the key.

*Flashback*
"Brook come here" I heard my mom say from her room.
"Ya mom"? I questioned
"I want to show you something". she said
"Okay what"? I asked
"You see this necklace" she asked
"Ya" I said
"This necklace means more than the world to me and when I pass I want you to have it". she said
"Why me"? I asked
"Because you mean more than the world to me too" she smiled
"Why does it mean so much to you" I asked
"It's been in our family for generations and it will be passed on to you than when you have a baby girl you will pass it on to her okay" she said
"Okay, one more question". I said
"Okay" she said.
"Why is it in here, what if we ever move". I asked
"To keep it safe and this necklace will go everywhere we go". she said
"Follow me" she said.
As I followed her she had some type of key in her hand.
"The door has a lock to it. Me and you are the only people who know about this key you do not tell anyone understood". she said
"Understood" I said
"The key will be in this cabinet under the wallpaper".
"Okay" I said
*flashback ends*

I ripped the wallpaper that was in the cabinet and took the key. I ran back to my parents room and unlocked the door. The necklace was in a case on a little self in the door. I took it and hid it in my shirt so Simon wouldn't see it. While I was walking out the door I turned around looking at my house.
"Goodbye I will never forget". I said talking to myself.
I ran back to Simon's car and I told him to open the trunk. Once he opened it I put the necklace case carefully in the box full of clothes.
"Is everything alright" he's asked
"Ya sorry um I forgot a pair of shoes" I lied.
"Oh okay you scared me before" he said with a little laugh
"Oh sorry I didn't mean to I guess I just didn't want to forget them". I said stupidly
"Okay" he said
I was not ready to tell Simon personal things. I don't really open up to many people I've never even told Ariana or Nicole one of my secrets. Even if I liked a boy I wouldn't tell.
"We're here" Simon said while parking the car.
"Okay" I said getting out of the car.
"Was this a rental car"? I asked
"Yes I have to check it in".
I nodded and looked away.
Time to go to London I thought
