Till Death Do Us Apart- 4 ✔️

Chapter Thirty-Five Remember Me

Kings and Queens- Ava Max

The service for my parents end leaving me astonished. They got a pastor to talk and when he asked if anyone wanted to say a few words, so many people stood up and waited for their turn to speak. The things they said about my parents, it made me glad to be their daughter, even if I'm the last one of the family left. My brother was murdered, my mother and father were murdered, who's next? Me? Am I gong to be murdered as well? Sitting in the chair, I was one of the last people still here, Dallas sitting next to me. I wasn't talking to anyone though, instead I stare up toward the casket.

When am I going to die? It's only fair that I die too. After what I caused my parents. So, when was my time going to come? When is my time going to be here? When am I going to die? Who's gonna be the person to do the deed? How am I going to die? Shot in the head? Beat? Stabbed? There's so many ways that I could die and so many ways for a person to kill me. It'll probably be Dane to kill me. Dane or his father. But would they kill me? No, they probably wouldn't want to at first. Dane is obsessed with me, and I'm the 'last thing of Jay' they have left. Although they won't be able to see his name on my skin anymore.

I wonder how they'll feel about that. Dane will probably be happy he won't see his brother's name claiming me as his anymore. His father on the other hand will probably be mad. He won't be able to see his son's name, but he can feel it. I wish there was a way to take that away too. The feel of his name. I feel a hand squeeze my shoulder, but I pay no attention to it. I am too lost in my thoughts to pay attention to anything else around me. If I ever get stuck with them again, what the hell am I going to do? My plan before was to kill myself, but what about now? What is my plan now? For the future? My future?

"Ryder." A soft voice says and I look seeing Dallas. "You ready to go?" He asks and I look around seeing no one but him, Blake, Archer, Rocco, Aiden and I. I take a deep breath and slowly nod my head.

"Yeah," I continue nodding before slowly standing up out of the seat I was in and turn to him. "Let's go." He nods wrapping an arm around my shoulder as I look back one last time seeing someone. The person was at my parents graves, kneeling on the ground and her hands cover her face, but I can tell she was crying. Her hair is long and platinum blonde. "Hold on." I say motioning for Dallas to stay as I head over to the woman. I could hear her soft crying and it made my heart break. I felt I knew her. "Hey, are you okay?" I ask once I reach her and she lifts her eyes letting her bright green ones meet mine.

"Olivia?" I ask in shock as she stares at me standing up.

"Ryder?" She asks still in shock. "Oh my God, I haven't seen you in-" She shakes her head and lunges forward tackling me in a hug making me stumble back but I hold my ground.

"In forever." I finish before wincing from my side. "God, you look so different but just the same. What are you doing here?" I ask pulling back to look at her. She is so pretty. I wished I was as pretty as her.

"I heard about your parents on the news." She explains. "Then I heard from a few friends that they were having a ceremony here for them." She shakes her head. "I am so sorry, Ryder. This shouldn't have happened to you. You don't deserve this." Thanks, but you don't know what I deserve. You haven't known me in a while. "How are you holding up?" I shake my head and give a smile.

"I'm doing alright. I've been better but, I'll be okay. What about you? How are things with you? Your parents?" She takes a deep breath and slightly looks away.

"We haven't seen each other in a while, there's a lot to catch up on." I look back to see Dallas talking to Rocco and Archer not paying attention to us.
