She's Our Girl

All things bright and beautiful

It was the day of Elvis's funeral back in the Uk.
Charlie, Georgie and SJ has been flown out to the UK to attend. There was an uproar from Elvis's parents you were furious at the fact there sons body could not be bought home for the funeral.
SJ sat there numb whilst her Uncle Charlie and mum gave there Eulogies to Elvis.
Then SJ got up to speak.
"As most of you probably know my dad was a right twat.... but he was my twat. He was the most kind hearted person you'll ever meet. He always had a goofy grin plastered across his face, unless he was trying to impress mum, then it was more on a smoulder. I remember we used to piss mum off by her saying she'd give me tea and I'd convince dad to buy me chips. But most of all my dad always fought for me, to keep me safe. Many of you won't know this but my parents had just got Re-engaged before my dad died....and the last thing he said to me was...." SJ started to break down. Captain James went up and put his arm round her and whispered "you can do it" so SJ carried on "he said I loved you from the moment I saw you, and I will love you until my very last.....and he did, the day he died I was almost blown off that building too but he sacrificed himself for me. I will always love you dad." SJ sniffed, she was going to sing a song but Elvis's mum had said it wasn't a musical. They all started singing the hymn 'all things bright and beautiful' SJ rolled her eyes and hissed to Georgie "this wouldn't have been what he wanted he hated hymns" Georgie gave her a look and Elvis's mum shhhed them but SJ got up with her guitar and went to the microphone "hi...sorry, I'm changing the song, this isn't he song that dad would of picked but this is now' she started strumming to her guitar and singing.
(Song credit time the kooks I own nothing)
'So at my show on Monday
I was hoping someday
You'd be on your way to better things
It's not about your Make-up
Or how you try to shape-up
To these tiresome paper dreams
Paper dreams honey

So now you pour your heart out
your telling me far out
Not about to lie down for your cause
But you don't pull my strings
Cause I'm a better man moving onto better things.

Well Uh-Oh oh I love her because
She moves in her own way
Well uh-oh oh she came to my show
Just to hear about my day

But uh-oh oh I love her because
She moves in her own way
But uh-oh oh she came to my show
Just to hear about my day'

By the end everyone was singing Elvis's favourite song there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
When the funeral ended and everyone gathered outside Elvis's mother came up to SJ "you just made a mockery and ruined my son's funeral you know that don't you?" She said
"Actually I just did what dad would have wanted, he's not religious and he loves that song" she replied
"Yes well today isn't about him!" Elvis's mum retorted. SJ looked puzzled
"What do you mean it's his funeral" she was cut off by Elvis's dad "don't take any notice of her she's just hurt because Elvis's Will came through yesterday." Georgie looked at him "and why does that concern me and SJ?"
Elvis's dad answered "because he left everything to you and Sapphire-Jade."
"Everything?" Georgie echoed
"Everything" he confirmed
Everyone started leaving and Georgie went to the car with Charlie & Molly. Elvis's dad caught SJ's arm "he was very proud of you, you know." SJ didn't say anything she just smiled and hugged her grandad. She turned to go.
"It's was also a very lovely song you sang, he would have loved it"
