Always | Ashton Irwin

Prologue

Carefully i threw the red rose on the shiny black coffin. A tear made his way down my cheek but I didn’t wipe it away. I felt how two arms made their way around my body and i leaned my head against my best friends chest. After some time I looked up at him, our eyes full of tears. Crying I clinged to Ashton’s body, I knew he was trying to be strong for me but his bottom lip was shivering and short after that I felt his tears falling on my shoulder.

‘It’s okay darling, she’s in a better place now,’ he whispered in my ear after kissing my forehead.

He took my hand and leaded the way to where the rest of my family was standing. My dad took me in his arms immediately

‘We will be okay Ali, everything’s going to be okay,’ he kept repeating.

After some years of depression my mom couldn’t handle it anymore and last week she killed herself by taking an overdoses of pills. The pain in my chest was indescribable and a loud sob escaped my mouth. I felt on my knees, no one said anything, it was silent except for my sobs. Ashton let himself fall on the ground next to me. He took my face in his big hands and wiped my tears away with his thumbs

‘Listen to me Ali, this pain you’re feeling right now is normal and it’s not going away until you accept she’s gone and you decide to move on. She will be forever in your heart and the pain will always be there but it will get better, I promise. The next few weeks are going to be hard but remember I’m always here for you do you hear me? Always.’

New tears came but I nodded and let him help me stand. For one more time I turned around to her grave

‘Bye mom’
