Helanie:
"You will be missed," Sydney wrapped up her eulogy, crying the entire time. Her father was a mess. Everyone was deeply upset at the loss of someone like Salem. I hadn't been able to come to terms with losing her. It had only been two days, far too soon to move on anyway.
Gavin stood in a black suit, wearing black sunglasses to hide the bags under his eyes. After I started getting my dreams and hopes back, I visited Gavin. He never said a word, just stared out the window the whole time. All of his friends stayed in his apartment. We tried our best to make him feel better, but it wasn't possible. All of us understood that.
"Why are you here?" After Salem was laid to rest, Sydney turned to question me. I had come with my mates, all dressed in black, grief heavy in our hearts.
"Not today," Norman hissed at her, holding up his palm.
"Why not? She is the reason my sister is gone today!" she screamed, turning heads toward us.
