The Mistake I'll Never Regret
Chapter 13
Dylan's pov

It's been a week since Jac passed away. A long, hard & miserable week. I stare at the photo in my hand. It was of Jac & I, holding our little princess. 
She looked so happy, so happy to be holding her baby. I smiled down at the picture, tears falling gently on the photo. 
"Dylan" Sue whispered, standing at the door way.
"I'm coming" I whisper, standing up. I place the photo of our family on her beside table. A spare one in my pocket. I walked down stairs & embrace her mum in a bear hug, while she sobs into my shoulder. 
"She loved you Dylan, more than anyone" her mum whispers, pulling back. She walks out the door towards the car, me following behind. 
I sat behind Sue, while Sarah sat in the middle. The doctors allowed Sarah out of the hospital, just for today while we said one last goodbye to her mother.

----------------------------

We arrive at the cemetery. Friends & family gathering around her 
"We are gathered here today to say our final goodbye to a loving Mother, Daughter, Friend and Family member" the priest speaks. Soon the priest ask Jac's parents to say a few words, then me. I hold Sarah in my arms rocking her, while I walk up. 
"I don't know where to start" I mumble. I look out to all the crying faces. "Jac was a beautiful, strong & independent young lady. She was so caring & tried to make everyone around her happy. I made the mistake of getting her pregnant, but I'm glad I did, because we wouldn't of had such a beautiful baby girl. Jac maybe gone, but she'll forever live in our hearts. I love you Jacqueline Reed" I finish with tears rolling down my face. I stand in front of her casket, placing a white rose & a photo of our family. "We love you" I whisper. 
I walked back to my seat, Sarah wiggling in my arms. 
"Thank you Dylan for those wonderful words, now if everyone could raise as we say goodbye to this beautiful, young lady" Everyone raises from there seats, Jac's song blaring while her coffin is being lowered. 
High Hopes - Kodaline

Broken bottles in the hotel lobby
Seems to me like I'm just scared of never feeling it again
I know it's crazy to believe in silly things
But it's not that easy

I remember it now, it takes me back to when it all first started
But I've only got myself to blame for it, and I accept it now
It's time to let it go, go out and start again
But it's not that easy

But I've got high hopes, it takes me back to when we started
High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again
High hopes, when it all comes to an end
But the world keeps spinning around

And in my dreams, I meet the ghosts of all the people who have come and gone
Memories, they seem to show up so quick but they leave you far too soon
Naïve I was just staring at the barrel of a gun
And I do believe that, yeah

But I've got high hopes, it takes me back to when we started
High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again
High hopes, oh, when it all comes to an end
Now the world keeps spinning
Yeah, the world keeps spinning around

High hopes, it takes me back to when we started
High hopes, when you let it go, go out and start again
High hopes, oh,
And the world keeps spinning
Ooh, yeah, this world keeps spinning

How this world keeps spinning around
