Hating But Loving One Direction (FANFIC)

Chp.26- Rest In Peace

Chapter 26- Rest In Peace

I tenderly lay a cream rose onto my Mother's tombstone. A crystal tear shed down my face, falling lifelessly onto the cream rose. I move over so that Uncle Paul can pay his respect. Harry squeeze my shoulders reassuringly. The boys flew straight back to England and canceled all their events to be by my side. I am so grateful to have them by my side. Sarah is here as well, but I hadn't gotten a chance to talk to her since both of us were busy bawling our eyes out. To Sarah, my Mother is also her's as well. Sarah grew up without a Mother and a no-good alcoholic Father. So my Mother's death had impact her life,too.

I look up when I felt something wet landing on my forehead. I was shock when I saw Harry crying. I gently wipe away his tears, burying myself into his arms. I look around and saw that everyone had tears in their eyes, not just Harry. Eleanor joined to pay her due respect, Danielle also join and I smile slightly when I saw her and Liam talking. Perrie and Zayn were the only ones who still look like they had any energy left. I could see the love between those two even from far away.

“Rest in peace, Holly Anne Stevens.” I sincerely let go, accepting the fact that she's no longer alive. However, I knew she was up in Heaven, watching me as I continue my journey with One Direction.

The ceremony soon wrap up and my Mother's relatives and friends who came gave me a gentle hug. I can sense pity in each “gentle” hug. However, I didn't want nor need pity. That's what people don't usually understand about tragedy. You don't want to grieve over it, you want to move on. I join my friends on the couch once everybody left. I exhale an exhausted sign. What a day.

“You tell her!” I perk up my ears, listening to Louis and Eleanor bickering. “No, you tell her!” Eleanor pokes Louis back. I could tell they were talking about me since they kept glancing my way. Finally fed up, I decide to ask them what they need to tell me. “Are you planning to bicker forever?” Louis and Eleanor looks like deer caught in headlights and they slowly turn towards me.

“Uh...we were planning to-- uh.” Louis stutter, gulping violently. Eleanor took a deep breath and walk towards me. “I'm getting marry...” she trails off, flashing me her ring. I jump up and shriek in happiness. Ah! They are getting marry? FINALLY! “OMG! Finally! I've been waiting for this day.” I fake faint, and Harry caught me with a chuckle. “That's not the best part...” Eleanor say mischievously. “What?” I ask, what else could be better than a wedding? Louis made a sound in his throat, gesturing for me to turn around.

I gasp when I saw Niall and Sarah, holding hands. Once they saw my approving smile, they went in for a quick peck. “AHHH!!” I scream, tears streaming down my eyes. Not sad tears, happy tears. Everyone is getting together. Suddenly, I thought of Liam and Danielle. Searching around the room, I frown when I didn't see either of them. “Where's Liam and Danielle?” I ask Harry. Harry smirks back and points upstairs in the direction of Liam's room. My mouth forms an 'O' in understanding.

The dark clouds drifted away and the sun starts to peak in my life. Sure, I had lost my parents but all those events led me up to where I am now. I wouldn't trade anything. I wouldn't change any events. I would just accept it to move on. I did hate One Direction but now I love them more than anything. How could all of that happen in a year? I jump when my phone vibrated, Harry rolled his eyes. I look down my phone and smiles: 'Everyone is getting marry :( I want to be marry too!' - Harry.

“Harry Styles,” I got down on my knees, “Would you marry me?” I ask him, half-joking. “Hmm...lemme think about it,” he stroke his chin in fake pretend, “Yes, Annabelle Stevens, I will marry you.” Just kidding, I'm not eighteen yet. However, I embrace him anyways, acting like an over-joy fiance. “Soon.” He promise me. Suddenly, a cough caught our attention. “Your birthday is in a month, patience.” Sarah lecture me, causing everyone to crack up.

Uncle Paul enters with boxes of pizza. Immediately, Niall attacks the boxes like he hadn't eaten in years. Typical. Everyone join Nialler before he could wolfed down all the food. I grab a slice of Hawaiian pizza and sat on Harry's lap since we didn't have enough chair. “I like this position.” He whispers in my ear and wink. I roll my eyes and smack the back of my head into his face. “Ouch.” He whines. All of us laugh at his childish manners and chorused “You deserved it.”

After we finish eating, I sent a quick prayer to my Mother up in Heaven, “Rest in Peace, I love you.”

A/N: Pointless chapter, really. This is not happy ever after!
