Smile. Just keep smiling. That's all I have to say to myself. If anyone asks you, youre fine, even when you're not. They are not allowed to know what's behind your mask.
"Hey cav, we have to go." Kurt said, knocking on my door. I took a look at myself in the mirror.
My blonde hair fell in loose waves, and fell all the way down to my waistline. My lips were a pale pink color, and my eye makeup was a simple nude color. My black dress stopped at my knees, and it hung off my shoulders.
I took a deep breath, standing up, grabbing my bag. I opened to door, meeting Kurt, who was wearing the black suit that I bought him. Kurt linked his arms with mine, walking me down my spiral staircase. Down at the bottom waiting for use is Sebastian and Blaine, who weren't paying attention to one another.
"Okay, lets get today done." I said, walking out of the door. We all decided that we would ride together to keep each other company, but I think they did it to make sure that I don't go numb again.
We decided to take Sebastians black Lexus over kurts sparkly blue Toyota. Sebastian and I were sitting in the front, Blaine and Kurt were sitting in the back.
I closed my eyes as memories started to rush back to me.

"Daddy?" I asked my dad, who was driving down the road. Our Maid, Martha, has to help me get dressed in this tight black dress. She put my hair in a braid crown.
"Yes darling?" He asked, looking at me. I was sitting in my booster seat in the back.
"Where is mommy?" I asked, looking down. We hadn't seen my mom at the hospital in three days. "Is she still at the hospital?"
My dad took a deep breath, trying to think of a way to tell me the horrible news. How do you tell an eight year old that their mom has died.
"You mom has fallen into a deep sleep." Dad said.
"Like sleeping beauty?" I asked, looking at him. "Because mommy is very beautiful."
"She is, and you will be as well, my dear."

We made it to the funeral home, making my stomach drop. This was the place that my moms showing was held, and to be honest I really hoped I'd never have to be in here again. But here we are.
I felt two different arms loop into mine. Sebastian was on my right, and Blaine was on my left. Kurt was walking in the front of us.
We walked inside to see my father laying in a dark cherry wood casket.
___________________
His body was lifeless and cold. His mother, Kurt, and Burt were crying at the side is his casket. Finn didn't look like himself. Blaine as standing next to me, trying not to cry. I turned to him, placing a subtle kiss on his cheek before whispering in his ear.
"It's okay to cry." I said to him, letting my own tears fall.
___________________
One by one, people were giving their condolences, and saying good bye to my father. Sebastian was standing behind me as Kurt and Blaine we're helping move people along,
"Hi dear." My moms sister said, giving me a hug as she's rubbed my back. "How are you doing sweetie?"
"I'm be okay, Aunt May." I said to her, making her smile.
"You look so grown up, and beautiful. Just like her." She said to me.
"Thank you." I said, smiling at her. She turned to look at Sebastian, who had a hand on my arm.
"Is this your boyfriend?" She asked, looking at Sebastian.
"No I'm just her really good friend." Sebastian said, smiling at her.
"Well you two would have made an amazing couple." My aunt said, making me nod. She walked away.
"Thank you." I said softly to him.
"You're welcome." He said to me.

I walked up to the podium, getting ready to give my fathers eulogy at his funeral. I took a deep shaky breath as people looked at me, most crying.
"Hello." I said, looking out into the crowd. "My name is Cavanagh Redman, and I am the daughter of Anthony and Alexia Redman. And today I have lost my father." I said, getting really emotional. I put my hands over my eyes as I sobbed. I felt a hand go around my waist. Blaine took my eulogy and started to read it.
"I sit back and remember when I was seven, and I thought my life was perfect. I always thought my mom and my dad would stay the age that they were, and that I would stay seven, but I was sadly mistaken." Blaine said. I was sobbing into his chest. He had one arm pulling me close, and the other holding the microphone. "The next year, I would be burying my mother, not knowing what was going on. But my dad did everything he could to make sure that I was okay, and that I had everything I needed. He would sit with me while I cried. He would sing to me and while my tears away. My father was an amazing man, and I will forever love, and forever miss him." Blaine finished my letter, giving me a hug.
______________
His body was placed in the cold ground, telling people that it's time to leave. I was the last person to go, as I looked at his casket. I placed a white rose on top, giving it a kiss before I dropped it in. I closed my eyes and turned around.
My dad was gone, and I'd have to live with it.
