My heel hit the pavement

Click

I can't here anything but that same clicking noise since I got out of the limo

Out if the corner of my eye I see people talking with sad, depressing eyes.
I turn to see my close family, and my not-so-close family but honestly I don't want to talk to anyone right now if all their going to tell me is 'everything is going to be all right' and 'she's in a better place now' so instead I walk to the small park across the street.

As I'm walking I see my dad talking to a few if my aunts and uncles and even from across the street I can still see the pained and broken look on his face and if my heart would be able to break more it would have.

When I finally reach the park I sit in the small swings in the far corner of the park. My friend Hailey, me and my mom would come here almost every weekend and sit in these very swings. In one point in life it brought me joy and happiness to sit on this very swing but now it just feels empty, plain, like there's something missing and I know exactly why.

I'm so lost in thought I don't realize Hailey come up and sit right next to me on the swing.
"hey" she says and that's when I finally realize she's there
"hi" I say in a dull tone.
"how u holdin' up" she asks me and I just give her a look that shows exactly how I'm doing

I don't know how long we sat there in silence but before I know it were walking back to the funeral home and going to our seats.

It's a small room and up front there are 5 seats and 6 or 7 rows of seats behind them I take my seat in the middle of the 5 and Hailey sits on one side of me, and the other my sister Brooke and at the end I see my dad and brother Jay.

In front of us there is a big white screen and a little off to the side is a closed coffin with flowers laying on top of it.

Some soft music starts to play and a slide show starts on the screen and as the first picture shows up I feel a tear spring to my eye and just look at the picture with a tearful eye.

It's an old picture of me and my mom and hailey. I turn to look at my friend and see that she also lets a small tear slide out of her eye and drop onto her black dress

And that's when something in me snaps.
