Sophia's POV

I look around and don't recognize anyone. All of these sad broken people are not the happy, cheerful, and full of life people I once knew.

"Friends, Family we are gathered here today in memory of the beloved Hamilton Nash Grier"

**

It was my turn to speak. I got out of Cam's arms, and picked up my piece of paper that had the speech on it with Shaky hands.

I got up to the podium. I looked around, all I could see was broken, distraught people who were immensely troubled and ripped apart by the death of my Boyfriend, Nash's death.

I took a deep breath. Here goes nothing....

"Nash, well, how can I say this, Nash was the most caring, warm hearted person I have ever met, or ever loved for that matter. He had so much life in him. I swear that boy's smiles could end a war. Nash showed me what it's like to be alive. He helped me get through so much. When my dad died I thought my life was over, but Nash showed me otherwise, he picked me up in when I was the most down. I love him with all my heart as well as all of you. I know that we are all upset, and confused, and angry, devastated, and just plain broken inside, because trust me that's how I feel. I miss every little thing that Nash did, I miss how he would run his fingers through his hair when he was stressed, or how he would kiss my forehead to let me know that I'm safe, or how every little thing Nash would vine, and how he lights up the room, I just miss him, and yeah like most of you I'm angry, angry that God would take such an amazing young boy, that had his whole life ahead of him. I'm confused, I'm just, well not me. I wanted to say a speech to try and make all of you feel better, but I'm not gonna lie, living without Nash, for me, is like not living at all, and I just wish with all my heart that I'm stuck in some horrible dream, waiting to be woken up, but you can't go through life pretending. Nash used to always tell me that even when it seems like your life is over it's not. Your life does not end when something bad happens, your life goes on even if it bad, but things don't stay bad forever, and it will get better. I have been telling myself that every night for the past week, but honestly my life is like one of those movies where nothing goes right, so yeah life is not good, but I will try to make it better, and If I need to I WILL pretend, but not for me, for Nash because I love that boy with all my heart, and, I just, I- I w-wish" I was was taken away from the podium by Cameron because I couldn't go on.

I sat in my chair sobbing looking around.

So this is my life, this isn't a dream is it? Nash is actually gone.
