Winning Blake over

Chapter Forty-Two: What I never did is done

The church wasn't too packed. I recognized some of the kids from school. Everyone sat down quietly. Patiently waiting for the funeral to start. I sat at the very front of the church. The casket not to far from where I sat. Landon sat next to me, along with his family and mine. He wore a black tux that he looked stunning in.

He had his arm wrapped around me, rubbing my shoulder so that way I could stay calm, and not cry. It was so depressing. It was an open casket and I haven't looked at Tori once. I'm afraid too. If I do, I would know that this is real. I don't want to come back to reality yet.

The song playing didn't make the mood any better. It made me feel worse. Worse than I've already felt. Everyone sat quietly as the music played in the background. The words touching everyone's heart. I'm not sure if it was in a good or bad way. Who picked the song anyway?

If I die young bury me in Saturn,
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow
I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors

Ohh and life ain't always what you think it outta be no
Ain't even gray but she buries her baby

The sharp knife, of a short life
Well I've had, just enough time

If I die young, bury me in Saturn
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

And the sharp knife, of a short life
Well I've had just enough time!

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little cold finger
I've never known the loving of a man, but it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand

There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever
Who would've thought forever could be severed by, the sharp knife of a short life
Well I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no
I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more, after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when your dead how people start listenin'

If I die young bury me in Saturn,
Lay me down on a bed of roses
Sink me in the river at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

The ballad of a dove, go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save 'em for a time, when your really gonna need 'em, oh

The sharp knife, of a short life
Well I've had just enough time

So put on your best, boys, and I'll wear my pearls

Tears slipped down my cheek as the song played. "It's ok to cry." Landon whispered in my ear and kissed the side of my head. Leaning my head on his shoulder I calmly took a deep breath.

"Tony came. Right?" I asked looking around. Landon nodded his head and joined me in my search. Then I spotted him. In the back corner. With Mr. Johnson. Should I go back there? Mr. Johnson doesn't like Tony at all. I was surprised by what I saw next. Mr. Johnson and Tony hugging. Tori would've kill- loved, she would've loved, to see that.
