Comfort

Abi branning let the tears slide down her cheek as the coffin was lowered into the ground. She hadn't really liked Uncle Derek when he was alive, he had bought so much heartbreak to the branning family while he was alive but now he was dead it was...strange. She glanced up at her family surrounding her. Tears were flowing down Alice's face while Lauren and Joey were holding hands. Joey was fighting back tears, Abi could tell. Abi could always tell when something was wrong, she had always been able to, ever since she was little.

Lauren and Joey. Abi wasn't sure whether they were together or not, she didn't disagree with their relationship but she wasn't sure she agreed with it either. They were cousins! They had the same blood running through their veins, it was...strange.

Everything was strange, Abi didn't understand why bad things had to happen to the Branning family. First there was Billy, then dad and Stacey, then Bradley, then mum's cancer, and now this. There was only one person Abi wanted at the moment, and she was going to see him as soon as she got home.

Abi sat in Jay's comforting arms, letting the tears flow down her face. She felt safe with Jay, he was always there for her, whatever happened. Sure they had their ups and downs but she loved him and he loved her, that was all that mattered.

She turned to face him, looking into his loving eyes she stared at him. Something stirred inside of her, this was it. Jay was the person she wanted to be with, now, forever? She wasn't sure but this was the present.

She kissed him, a long, loving kiss. She pulled away and looked into his eyes. He understood exactly what she wanted by the look in her eyes. "Are you sure Abs?" He asked, taking her hand, "You're upset, a-"

Abi silenced him with a kiss, "I'm sure." She said as she pulled away, "I love you Jay, I will always love you."

Please review :) :P If you find any ways to improve please tell me.
