Chapter Ten

*Two Days Later At The Funeral*

Everyone gathered into one big group or mourn the loss or their five freinds that they would never again share a laugh with, never spend time with or never even get to take another look into their eyes.

*During The Funeral*

"I've never been good with speached" Kyla's eyes glistned with unshed tears "and this has to be the hardest i'll ever have to make." She took a deep breath and tried to keep the tears from spilling over. "Five of the people that I loved most in this world have moved on.

Looking at JC Sitting on the front row ,her tears began to flow. "Four of my best friends and a woman that has been a mother to me are now gone, but they would all tell us not to shead tears over them and not to worry but tell me how can we not be?"

"Lynn was simply a wonderful person. She was always there if anyone needed her; all you had to do was ask." she paused to wipe her eyes. "We got along so well and she always treated me like her daughter. There were many times where we would sit and talk. I had hoped one day to becone her daughter-in-law." Kyla took a breath and a quite sob escaped her lips.

"Justin was everything to me. He is the man I love; my other half. Every day I expect him to walk through my door and tell me how much he loves me." placing a hand over her mouth she let out another sob. "He'll never be forgoten; he'll always live on in my heart."

"madison was le an older sister" Kyla said no longer able to fight the tears. Looking at everyone she spotted Madison's parents holding onto one another, sobbing. "We were always getting one another into some kind of trouble she was the best friend anyone could have. She wasent judgmental and she always listened. I'm going to miss our late night girl talks and all the advice she would give me. I love her dearly and and glad to be able to say that she is my best friend."

"Chris. There are no words to descriptive enough to use." Kyla smiled sadly. "He was always te one to make someone laugh if they were in a bad mood. He was like a brother. Crazy and unpredictable, thats the Chris everyone remembers and loves. I'm sorry" she broke down into another fit of sobs.

"Finally, theres Juli. She was a sister to me as well. We could always sit and talk about the unimportant things in life. I could always count on Jules to cheer me up, she was just like chris." Smiling slightly she added "We always somehow finished what the other was saying it was scary sometimes." She began sobbing once again.

All of them were a huge part on my life and no matter what I will always love them. So I ask once again, how could we not be upset over these five wonderful people being gone.?" Kyla managed to choke out before dolapsing . As she bagan to fall, JC ran from his chair and caught her. she let everything out and compleatly broke down in his arms as he helped her off of the stage.

When it was over, Jonny walked over to Lance, Rebekah, JC, Erika, and Joey. "Jonny." Lance started talking and motioned to the other guys. "We've decided not to keep going on. Theres no reason to. Those guys are irreplacable and weve just decided to do other things." Jonny knodded and patted his shoulder. He hugged them understandingly "I'm sory gys" he mouther as he walked over to Kyla's and Madison's parents.

Kevin stood over Madison's casket staring down at her fair skin and rosy lips. He started tearing up again. He reached down and took her hand. He didnt want to leave her , but before heknow it, Lonnie was taping him on the shoulder and motioning towards two approching reposters. They spent the rest of the week at their own homes, Kevin staying with Joey until he could find a plain ticked back to Kentucky and Kyla stayed with Madison's parents.

*Three days later*

"Hey JC. Kevin just found a ticked back home" Erica yelled through their house. "Thats great baby. What do you say we go out tonight? I wanna be with you. Lets have fun. come on we'll double."

"Do you really want to? " She looked at him seriously. "Only if you want to, baby. I want to make you happy." he looked sencire. she knodded herhead in agreement as he took her hand and walked to the bedroom to get ready.

*At Lance's House*

Rebekah walked around their little country house looking for Lance's tie.

Why can't you just put it wiith the rest of them when you take them off?" She pleaded "Because I like to watch you worry about me. It's cute." "Here it is. Right where it's not suppost to be. She rolled her eyes and threw it at him and walked back to their room. He watched her walk away and them got up to put on his jacked and tie. . "Tell me when your ready, baby." he called out sitting back down on the couch.

*At The Resturaung*

They sat quietly, nothing to talk about. Erica picked at her Chicken Alfredo. She looked over at Lance then at Rebekah then up to her boyfriend. 'I am so lucky' she thought. She took her hand off of her napkin and laid it on JC'd . rebekah glanced at them and smiled.

"I love you, Erica..." JC whispered. "Lets go" Rebekah said letting her fork slip out of her right hand as tey all got up and lance tossed a $20.00 bill down on the table.

they split the bill two ways as JC put a $10.00 back into Lances wallet and they walked out the doors.

*Back At Home*

"Hey were back." "Okay Where did ya'll go?" Joey asked Rebekah. "The Olive Garden." And you didnt ask the Itiallian Stallian to go with you?" He acted hurt. "Yea, Jo. Whe were you gonna go with? Kevin?" Joey that would look kinda bad." She informed him. "Thanks for leting me know your back. We need to start keeping check."

"Okay. Don't worry, J, well be alright." "Okay" he said reluctantly. "Love ya Beki. Tell everyone else."

"Okay. I will. Love you too Joey." she waited to hear the click of his phone before she het the end button on hers.

Lance kissed the top of her head as he pulled upthe covers and swiched off the bedside lamp.

*One Week Later*

"Hey man." Joey said walking into Kevin's room "I'm alnost done packing. I'll be out of your house and on my way back home in about an hour and a half" Kevin said gloomily

"Your not in my way. I'm gonna miss you Kev. Your gonna have to come back and visit"

"Okay. I'm gonna miss you too. I'm gonna miss everyone when I'm gone." "When your gone?" Joey looked surprized. "When I go back home" Kevin said looking back at Joey. "Well were all gonna take you to the airport.

"Thanks Man."

*At The Airport

After they all said they;re goodbyes Kevin walked over to lance "You got any Asprin?" "Yea its in the car."

"I'll go get it." Kevin said. He walked out to Lance's car thinking about the events of the past two months. he had lost lo much. He didn't even know why he was going back home. He had no reason to. When he reached the car he went into Lanced glove compartment and poured some asprin into his hand. She shook his head and tossed them back. He fished in his pockets until he found his anti-depresents. He openeed the bottle and poured out 36 of the little white pills. He popped most of them into his mouth he slipped the other ones into his pocket. As he walked back into the airpost he crunched down on the tablets. He heard the announcment over the speaker. he hugged them all over again hugging Kyla last.

"Kevin. We've lost alot, and it feels horible. Worse than horible. Words can't describe it, but please, Kevin PLEASE don't do anything stupid." Kyla begged him tugging at the qipper of his vest. He looked into her bright green eyes, smiling he knodded. "Kevin!"

"Okay. I won't." He promised as he thought 'gut only because I've already done what I needed to do'

He heard the final announcment and kissed Kyla on the cheek, grabbed his bags and walked down the long hallway leading to the plain. He smiled inwatdly as he felt himself get lightheaded.

'They're working fast.' he thought to himself. He found his seat, got his bags situatedand sat down. His vision and his head spinning as he swallowed the rest of the pills and reached into his back pocked and pulled out a folded sheet of paper. He laid it on the table and flatened it our and signed his name to it befor he tossed his pen down beside the paper. He looked out the window, into the airport at everyone for the last time in his life.

e sighed ans laid his head back on his seat, as he drifted off into a deep, dreamless sleep never to wake up again.
