My first J.T. Fanfiction!!! I'm making it into a story!! So read and review please and thank you!!!! Enjoy!
At J.T.'s funeral almost all Degrassi was there.
Liberty, Manny, Emma, Sean, and Toby stayed together like a little group of J.T.'s closest friends.
A car door closed behind them. People turned around to see a girl, older man, and J.T.'s grandma walking towards the ceremony. The girl didn't look at anyone or anything but the ground. J.T.'s grandma was crying and so was the older man.
Everyone sat down as the priest opened his book.
Liberty looked over at the girl. She looked like him. So much like him. She had his hair color.
"Ladies and gentlemen. We are gathered here today for the death of dear James Tibirius Yorke." The priest began. Liberty already felt like crying. She looked over at Mia who was sobbing, but trying to be quiet.
"He was a dear friend, a son, and a brother." The priest said.
The girl held her hands together. Her arms and legs were shaking and she feared she would break down in front of everyone, but she swallowed her sob and took a deep breath. Liberty watched the girl.
J.T.'s grandmother held the girls' hand, but the girl couldn't get her hands to come apart.
The older man rubbed the girls' back and sniffed.
"He will always be with us, in memory and spirit. We will miss James Thomas Ross Yorke. We know he is in heaven now, smiling down at us. He will never be forgotten." The priest said.
Manny started crying and she hugged Liberty. Liberty licked her dry lips and hugged her back. Emma cried in Sean's chest. Sean bit his lower lip and squeezed his eyes shut, trying to stop the tears that were coming.
"Would anyone like to say a few words?" The priest asked.
The girl lifted her head up and swallowed again. "I would," She said.
Manny, Emma, Liberty, Sean, and Toby looked at the shaken girl.
She stood up and let go of J.T.'s grandmothers' hand.
"H-hi," She cleared her throat. "I-I'm Marcia. (pronouced Mar-Sh-A)Most of you don't know me, but I'm J.T.'s younger sister." She annouced. Disbelief gasps and whispers went through the funeral. Everyone slightly gaped at Marcia. Why hadn't he told them that he had a sister?
"When our parent's got divorced, when I was six and J.T. was almost 7, our dad moved to Oklahoma, in the 'states'." She said. "And um J.T. and I lived with our Mom here." She held a piece of paper in her hand. She wasn't reading from it, but she glanced at it as she spoke.
"W-when we were both eight I w-would tell J.T. about how much I wanted to go see the Grand Canyon, the Statue of Liberty, the Space Needle, and all the great places in the 'states' and so he made a promise that he would take me to all those places once we turned eighteen." She smiled and tears rolled down her cheeks, they hit the sheet of paper like rain drops.
"But when our mom died from Leukimia (I really don't know how she died, I don't know if she died, did they say? so I just kinda made it up) he stayed with our grandma and I moved to Oklahoma with our dad." Marcia said.
Liberty looked over at the older man he was crying and so was J.T.'s grandmother.
"Before I left," She made a little laugh. "He spit on his hand and told me to do the same. We made a spit promise that once we turned eighteen we would still go to those great places that we talked about." Marcia sniffed. "Over the years J.T. and I sent letters to eachother." She smiled again. "He was like my 'pen pal'."
Some people laughed.
"God," Marcia wiped her eyes. "The things we wrote about. School, friends, relationships, love.". "He told me that he had made the greatest friends in the world at Degrassi." "And every one of those letters that we sent would always end with that same promise. That one promise over and over again he would remind me of that promise."
She lost her smile and stared at the paper again. "The last letter he gave me was that..." She took a deep breath and let out a shaky one. "He was so happy. And that nothing could make him feel sad ever again. And at the end of the letter he wrote three words over and over again. Remember my promise." She licked her lips. " Remember my promise." She whispered.
"I will always remember James Tibirius because he was my life. He was my sunshine on a cloudy day. My umbrella for the rain. I loved him. Not just because he was my brother, but because he was my best friend. He will never be replaced. I wish I could have spent more time with my brother. I love you." She said, and folded up the paper and sat down.
Everyone clapped. Emma, Manny, and Liberty were sobbing, along with Mia. Sean held Emma and kissed her forehead, hair, and cheek.
"Is there anymore words to be said about James Tibirius?" The priest asked. No one said anything.
"God bless James Tibirius, his family, relatives, and friends." The priest said.
After J.T. was buried Liberty stared at his grave stone.
Manny hugged her. "I'll see you at school." She said, softly. Liberty nodded. Manny, Emma, Sean, and Toby left. Liberty stared at J.T.'s grave.
"Excuse me," A soft voice said behind her. Liberty looked behind her. Marcia pressed her lips together and swallowed.
"A-are you Liberty?" She asked. "Yes," Liberty croaked. "Here," Marcia handed Liberty the piece of paper. "W-what's this?" She asked. "Please, just take it. J.T. had written it a couple of weeks ago. I thought you should have it." Marcia answered, quickly. Liberty took the neatly folded paper and opened it.
Liberty read it.
Tears trickled down Libertys' cheeks.
"He wanted to tell you, you know. But he couldn't." Marcia told her. Liberty nodded.
"I'm staying at Degrassi until I graduate." Marcia told her. Liberty looked at her. She looked so much like J.T. . Marcia's eyes were excatly like his. "J.T. would probably want you to." Liberty said, quietly. Marcia nodded.
"Did you love him?" Marcia asked her.
Liberty felt a sob in her throat. "Yes."
Marcia hugged her. "Thank you. For loving my brother." She whispered in Libertys' ear. Liberty hugged her back.
"Marcia," Her father stood before them. "We need t-to leave." He said. Marcia nodded. She turned back to Liberty. "I'll see you at school Liberty.".
Liberty nodded. As the car drove past her and she went in her own car she continued to think about what Marcia said. "Thank you. For loving my brother." Liberty looked at the note and read it again, and again, and again until she could memorize every single word.
