**Gulf's POV**

All of the arrangements went a lot smoother then I thought they would. 

Yesterday was absolutely exhausting though. I can't remember the last time I did so many things at once in a short amount of time. 

I made Mew stay in bed even though he didn't want to but I thought it would be good for him to get some actual sleep and not just coma sleep.

He fought me on it for a while but once he saw that I was being serious about what I was saying he stopped asking me and just stayed quiet. Thankfully he had passed out pretty quickly and I was able to leave and start all this stuff. You would never believe how much you have to do. 

I feel bad for his parents the first time they had to do this.

I roll out of bed and stare at the clock. It's 10 o'clock. Okay cool, that gives me enough time to head to the hospital and get Mew ready and then we have to head over and meet every one at noon. 

I know that Off is coming, I had no doubt about it. He was always like a big brother for Kaownah and I don't think he would just leave before his funeral.

The one I was iffy about was Perth, I really want him to show up but I'm a little scared that he won't because he blames himself for everything. Yes I am still kind of mad at him for it but other than that I have forgiven him. He doesn't deserve to shoulder all of that guilt. 

I know that he really loved Kaownah and that just makes this so much worse. Kaownah loved him back more than I've ever seen him love someone, even more than me...

I wish they were able to have a happy ending but I guess that just wasn't in the cards for them...

I take a deep breath and head to my closet to get dressed. Once I was done, I grabbed the specially fitted clothes for mew that would be wearable with his leg and arm cast. 

I had put in his measurements yesterday so I'm pretty surprised that they were able to finish it in time.

Grabbing my things, I look around one more time to make sure that I had everything and then closed the door behind me.

With this whole mess, I've been trying to keep myself busy that way I didn't have time to process my sadness. I'm trying to be a good example for Mew and Perth so they don't wallow in there sadness and guilt.

As I'm driving to the hospital, I get a message from Off letting me know that him and Gun were already at the hospital talking to Mew. 

He said that they were waiting for me and then they would head to the location for the funeral.

Pulling into the parking lot, I throw his clothes over my shoulder and head to building B. I hope this day goes by smoothly. If Off doesn't end up punching Perth for the third time then I think it'll be a win.

If Perth ever shows up...

Reaching the room, I push open the door and stare stupidly at what I'm looking at. 

Gun and Off are sitting in the seats next to the bed and Mew is sitting up with his leg hanging off the edge of the bed while there all laughing real actual belly laughs.

Gulf: Walking into the room, I look at them blankly. "What are you guys laughing about?"

Mew: He opens his arm to beckon me to his side, smiling handsomely. "Off was telling me about how he beat up some dumb asses yesterday that were picking on Gun. I told him that I was proud because Gun can't fight for shit."

Gun: Showing fake shock. "Heyy, I broke that one guys nose. Doesn't that count?"

We all say in unison: "No!"
