(this will be a long chapter, so be ready)

i opened my eyes. He's gone forever. i took a deep sigh, i looked around. I was in a hospital bed, my mother sat besides me. i sat up, looking at her deep dark eyes.

her eyes widened as she pulled me into a hug, "honey, are you okay?" she asked. I should be scared or sad or angry.

but i'm not. i'm calm, i made my peace with Justin. He's in a better place, he's better now. And for that, i'm glad. "i'm good" i smiled to her, her hug felt tight around me

"Lydia-" My dad walked into the room, his eyes met mine. I haven't seen him lately. He ran to me, pulling me into a hug like my mother. We all hugged each other.

"i don't know why you guys are so worried for" i said as i wiggled myself out from their hug.

my dad cleared his throat as my mother stayed quiet. "Sweetie, Justin...He died" she said holding back her tears. My mother grew up with Justin and his mother.

"i know mom, but now he's in a better place now" i held her hand, feeling her warm skin. she nodded her head as my dad stood behind her

"i'm sorry you had to see that...his body" he said, i stayed quiet.

"and i'm sorry the stupid nurses sedated you" My mother gritted her teeth as she squeezed my hand

"it's fine, they were doing their jobs. I was out of my mind at the moment" both my dad and my mom had a surprised look on their faces

"And they told us you fractured your ankle. They said you were lucky, you almost fractured it so much that you may never able to walk again. But a miracle happened, and you should be able to walk in a few weeks" my mother had a cheery look on her face

"thats good" i sat up from the bed.

All the sadness came rushing to me out of nowhere. It hit me like a train, tears streamed down my face as i realized that Justin is now actually gone.

his funeral. I'm at his funeral. Never thought i would see this day.

i walked with my crutches into the room, my family walked behind me. the room was filled with kids from school and Justin's family. Justin's mom ran to me, she engulfed me into a hug, i hugged her back, letting my crutches fall onto the ground. I held my right leg in the air so i didn't put pressure on my ankle. The crutches made a loud noise as they hit the ground, everyone in the room looked at us as we hugged.

I grew up with Justin's mom when i was younger. I stopped seeing her as she went out of town more often as we grew older. Justin hated his parents being gone out of town so much, but he grew with it, he dealt with it, at least i thought

I haven't seen her in a long time as i smelled her strawberry shampoo from her hair. "Olivia, look at you, you've gotten so old" She said holding onto the sides of my face. "Justin would be proud you came" she said as her eyes became glossy. i hugged her again as she let out little tears

"you're allowed to cry" i said as i patted her back as she sobbed into my shirt.

"are you still doing the speech? He loved you, he would have loved you to say something here" she pulled away from me, picking up my crutches. she handed them to me as i nodded my head. I prepared a speech for this, i had it in my pocket.
