I stop so suddenly Auden nearly trips beside me. Stumbling in her black pumps with a six inch heel, her boyfriend, Drake, catches hold of her.
I see a girl, about sixteen maybe, pitch Blake ringlets hanging from her head, brown eyes, black dress and shoes, walking my way.
I try to start calming myself, saying something back and getting even more upset would not be good. Just calm down, you're at your friends funeral. And with that thought hot tears threaten to spill out of my eyes. I close them and take a deep breath. When I open them the girl is pretty much in my face.
"He should still be here. He should be the one still walking around. Its all you're fault. " Tears roll down here face and I hear the pain in her voice.
"I don't know who you are. How you knew him. But it wasn't Amy's fault really. You think I'm not tore up about it? He was a good friend of mine. You think I don't sometimes feel that yes it should've been me and not him. He was a great guy, amazing, sweet, funny, and smart. So I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't tell me that....." I keep my voice low. Hoping the people will stop staring. They're all whispering and pointing.
Maybe this was a mistake to come. Wait, what am I thinking, we were friends.
The girl flips her hair and I fight the urge to not roll my eyes. "You don't know who I am? That's funny. Being Zach lives with you and weren't you to close at one point?"
"Can we talk outside. I mean we are at our friends funeral. We can at least give him some respect." I say in a whisper. She frowns a bit and looks back inside the room then nods her head.
"So, Lemme fill you in. First, I was Michaels stepsister. I was away at a school. Second, I'm Zach's ex. Yep. We were together for a few years. We were actually together the night it happened and we talked about getting back together."
For some strange reason I feel a surge of anger. I just don't understand that boy! One minute he's taking care of me and kissing me the next he's ignoring me and know he's supposedly getting back together with her?
This is why I found it absurd when Auden said he liked me. He was probably just trying to use me or mess with my head. Or! Or, he was in on the bet!!!!!!!!
"Well, have fun with that. Nice meeting you." I say through gritted teeth. Why does it make me so angry? Why do I even care? Right when I'm about to walk away, Zachary spots us and heads this way. He looks handsome. Black tux and dress shoes looks good on him, and he had his hair fixed to wear it's standing up in the front.
"So I see you two met..." Zachary quietly asks.
Before I can answer Auden cuts in and tells him," Yes she's met the Bitch from hell. Who of which told Carter that she should've been the one that's dead. Have fun with your ex slash new girlfriend who obviously needs a slap. "
And with that she takes hold of my hand and we all off.
I can't believe she just said that. I feel my face burning hot as I sit down. Michaels mom and dad walk over to me and apologize for the girls, whose name is Ivy, behavior.
.............
I'm glad it's all over. Its all too much. Zachary has been trying to talk to me but always ends up with a door in his face.
