Tim's POV
It was Saturday and also the day of Alex's funeral. The Vandals, Kim and her friends and JJ we are all standing outside the church. We were actually planning on crashing the funeral since we were not wanted, well the Vandals were the ones that were not wanted but Kim and her friends and JJ were allowed they were just supporting us. I could feel the tension between Vic and JJ and I sensed that Kim knew what happened because she kept glaring at Vic.
Then there was Jake, he just came out of hospital yesterday from the stab wound he got from trying to help his best friend. He was probably hurting more than all of us combined, Alex was his best friend. He knew him longer than all of us, they were inseparable. I don't know how I would cope if I lost Victor.
"Are you okay?" I asked him.
"Yeah Tman I'm good" Jake whispered.
Kim got closer to me and held my hand. "That must have been the dumbest question you've ever asked, he is obviously not okay" she whispered.
"We can not stand here forever" Jake said opening the doors. When we walked in we caught everyone's attention maybe because we
were late. Or they were just wondering who are these fools that are not wearing black when the memo clearly stated black only, everyone was wearing black except us, Kim was wearing black because she always wear black. They can't blame us for not wearing black we were not invited.
The room was covered in flowers a casket in the front with flowers on top, besides the casket there was a framed picture of Alex. People were crying some sobbing. Eighty percent of the tears in the room were bogus there's no doubt about that.
"What are they doing here?" Mrs Porter said and we stopped and looked at her.
"We are here to pay our last respect to our friend" Jake said.
"You are not welcome here" she said. The pained expression from all the Vandals said a lot.
"But ma'm," Jake said.
"Get out!" Mrs Porter screamed tears streaming from her eyes. We all made our move to get out.
"No. With all due respect Mrs Porter we are not going anywhere" Kim said. This girl can not seize to amaze me, it was either she is brave or she had a death wish during a funeral.
"What!?" Mrs Porter shouted.
"I said we are not going anywhere. We know you are hurting, why wouldn't you? You lost a son for crying out loud. But they also lost a friend, no they lost a brother. You may not know it but they were also prepared to die to save him. All I'm saying is let them grieve" Kim said.
"You can sit down children, come on honey" a man who I'm assuming is Mr Porter said pulling away Mrs Porter.

The service went well and now it had sunk in and hard that Alex was no more. We decided to have a mini party in honour of Alex, it was only the Vandals, Kim and her friends and JJ.
"I need some alcohol in my system" the net cheered.
"JJ can I talk to you" Vic said and JJ nodded. Kim whispered something in JJ's ear and he nodded. Vic and JJ went up the stairs, that didn't stop Kim from growling at Vic and I laughed.
"Something funny Timothy" she said.
"It's just that you look so cute doing that" I said and she scoffed going into the kitchen. She came back chugging alcohol. The music started and the mini party was on.
Two hours later everyone was drunk besides Vic and JJ who were no were to be seen.
"Have I ever told you, you look handsome?" Kim said. I like drunk Kim.
"No you have never told me that" I replied.
"Well you are handsome, sexy and hot" she said grinning. Drunk Kim really knows how to boost my ego. Another song started playing. "That's my jam" she shouted.
"There are days I wake up and I pinch myself, you are with me and not someone else and I'm scared yeah I'm still scared that it's all a dream cause you still look perfect as days go by, even the worst ones you make me smile, I'll stop the world if it gave us time" she sang angelically, she still has a beautiful voice even if she's drunk.
"Everyone sing" she shouted and we all joined in.
"Cause when you love someone you open up your heart. When you love someone you make room if you love someone and you are not afraid to lose them then you've never loved someone like I do, you probably never liked someone like I do" we sang.
Lucas Graham is right when you love someone you are afraid to lose them. I don't want to lose my angel, I love her too much. Lethal thinks my father might attack or do anything to kill me. And I have already told them that if I ever disappear they must protect Kim. I don't know how crazy my father can be. I still don't know what I did to the man, what could seven year old me have done?
"Are you okay?" Kim asked. I sat down pulling her down to sit on my lap.
"I'm fine" I replied looking at her thigh and rubbing it with my hands.
"Tim is lying" she said poking my chest.
"I'm fine really" I said and she glared at me.
"You clearly don't want to tell, that's okay I'm drunk anyway so I'm gonna let it go, sober me won't give up though" she said yawning and soon fell asleep.
I took her to my room and put her on my bed. I will have to tell her that I saw my father.
"I love you angel"
