"HE WAS PROUD"

RATED K+

SUMMARY= "He was proud of you Bryan, more than you'll ever know. He just didn't know how to show it."

PROLOGUE=

Bryan watched silently Tala's coffin was lowered into the ground. The red-head was gone. He was gone! Never to come back, ever. The lilac-haired teen saw Monica crying over the loss of her, what was soon to be, husband. He saw Crusher embrace her tightly and Ming-Ming walk over to Ian in order to whisper soothing words in his ear. Spencer stood at the back with his sister Maria and his mother. Every blader was in attendance for the red-headed Russian's funeral. All except Garland.

Garland. That bastard! This was all his fault! Everyone thought Tala would be OK. He was out of the coma, and then he had a relapse. The doctors had tried to save him, had done all they could. Put him on life support; then Bryan had talked to Tala and his brother had begged him to let him go. "Please let me go Bry. Let me go and be with Wolborg. Please." So that had been it. Now Tala was gone.
