The Room mate (COMPLETE)

33- The Funeral

JAXON'S P.O.V

It's been four days after the shooting and I'm here next to my parents at the cemetery watching my sister get lowered into the ground, while my dad holds my mom in his arms while she weeps

"Why do I have to be here? I should be at the hospital" I said to my parents

"Cause she is your sister, Jaxon" My mother cried

"She stopped being my sister when she tried to kill Paisley and Trent. You know your other daughter, who is in the hospital in a coma because of this bitch" I said angrily

"Don't talk like that about your sister. She was troubled, I know she didn't mean it" My mother said softly

"Are you really defending her after she almost killed your daughter and leaving your grand daughter without parents"

"Jaxon.. Don't speak to your mother like that. this is hard enough on her. I understand what you are saying, but Ashleigh was still our daughter. We have a right to feel sad about her death. We have a right to say goodbye to our daughter, no matter the circumstance" My father replied

"I understand that, but why do I have to be here? Ashleigh did this too herself. I don't feel a shred of sadness for her. I'm sorry you guys lost one of your kids, but if it wasn't for Trent, then we would of been over Paisley grave not Ashleigh's. Either way we would be here" I walked away towards the car

BROOKE'S P.O.V

"Jaxon is right either way we would of lost one of them" I whispered to Ben "Where did we go wrong with her?"

"Don't blame yourself" He said softly to me pulling me into his arms

"What if we lose Paisley too? She been in a coma for four days and Trent is still in the hospital recovering from being shot"

"We aren't gonna lose her, babe. She is strong like her mother"

"I cant handle losing my remaining daughter. Also I cant be mad at Trent for shooting Ashleigh because he saved Paisley. He can't even look at me without guilt in his eyes. I just want him to know that I don't blame him. I'm grateful for him. He risked his life to save our baby girl"

"I know baby...I know"

I pulled away from him and said "We better head to the hospital and see Paisley for a bit before Trent's mom drops off Ariana for the night.

"Yes, we should" He turns towards our daughter grave "Goodbye my beautiful daughter, may you have peace now"

"Goodbye Princess" I said to her before we walked to the car where Jaxon stood waiting

TRENT'S P.O.V

I convinced the doctor to let me sit in a wheelchair beside Paisley bed. I had to be next to her.

I should of answered the door that night not Paisley. She is in a coma and the doctor dot know when she will wake up. My heart is breaking. I need her. I cant live without her. Ariana needs her.

"Ariana needs her mommy. I need you. Please wake up" I whispered to her holding her cold hand in mine

Just then Paisley's parents walked in. I had a hard time looking at them without thinking I took away their daughter even though I saved their other daughter. They were dressed in black. I guess they came from Ashleigh's funeral

"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Hall" I greeted

"Good afternoon Trent" Mr. Hall replied

"Please call me Brooke, Trent, your family now"

I just smiled at her, but truth is my heart dropped when she said that. After what happened she still considers me family

"I'll leave you guys, so you can have time alone with her" I said

"No, Trent stay" Brooke replied "You have as much right to be here as we do"

Doesn't she hate me? I can understand being civil with me for Paisley's and Ariana sake, but not loving

"Not trying to be rude, but its hard to be around you guys without feeling guilty for what I did" I said with my head down

"We don't blame you. you did what you had to do to save Paisley and I am grateful you saved her" Brooke said softly to me

"I didn't mean to kill her I just wanted to get the gun away from her. When I grabbed it she shot me and before I knew it I was able to turn the gun to her. I didn't know her hand was still on the trigger. It all happened so fast"

Ben put his hand on my shoulder "We know son"

We just sat there for a few hours until my mom came with Ariana. I got to see her for about a hour before she went home with Ben and Brooke.

A week has past and I was finally released from the hospital. Paisley still hasn't woke up

"Please wake up, baby. Its been almost two weeks. I miss your beautiful eyes, your wonderful voice" I said with tear filled eyes

"I got to get home. Jaxon is there with Ariana. your mom and dad is on their way baby. I'll be back later. I love you, Paisley

****************

I walked into the nursery where Jaxon was with Ariana

"Hey Jaxon"

"Hey man. I just got her to sleep. how's Paisley?"

"The same. Doctors still don't know when she will wake up"

"I'm going to go visit her after my parents leave"

After the Funeral Jaxon hasn't talked to his parents. He told me his mom defended Ashleigh's actions and he cant even look at her. I can see the hatred every time Ashleigh's name is mention around him

"I see that the Livingroom doorway is closed off" I mention to him

"Your Parents stripped the room and cleaned it up. Its being remodeled and its closed off so you don't have to see that room until its different. They figured it would make it easier for you"

"Yeah it does. Truth is I may sell the house. Even with the room being different she was shot here and she may not wish to live here anymore"

"That's true. How about you? Do you want to move?"

"It's crossed my mind"

"I'm gonna head out. Sky is going with me to the hospital, so I need to go pick her up. Call me if you need anything. It doesn't matter what it is, I'm here for you and that beautiful niece of mine"

"Thanks, Jax. I appreciate that"

I walked over to my daughters crib and looked down at her

"My baby girl. Daddy's home now. I missed you so much. You are looking like you mother more and more everyday"
