Hey guys, I'm sorry I haven't updated in ages, I've just been really busy lately but I got this idea when I was listening to music and studying and I thought why not write this to relieve some stress? This is inspired by multiple songs; the title and whole idea kind of came from Running with the wild things by Against The Current. Also there was Partners in Crime by Set it Off and Ash Costello, Gravity by Against The Current and last but not least Car Spin by Greywind. Anyways, I hope you like this new idea and hopefully, I'll be updating again soon. Bye xx
I own none of the characters used in this. They all belong to Veronica Roth, But I might add in an OC I don't know yet.
Her eyes are fixated on the white Calla lilies which lie on the sleek, black coffin lid. He hated Calla lilies, he thought they looked too formal, not dark enough to be associated with funerals and death. She wanted to remove them, for his sake. He would have wanted none of this; couldn't he at least have his choice of flowers?
Her eyes flit around the graveyard, taking in the people who are stood with their hands over their mouths in an attempt to muffle their sobs. Some of them meet her eyes, providing her with pitying glances filled with sympathy. She had to look away; she was going to be sick if she didn't.
She's barley paying attention to the man who's reading a eulogy for him. From the few words she picked up, it was all bullshit anyway. It's all about how he was such a kind-hearted soul who lit up the lives of many. Again, bullshit. He was a cold-hearted asshole who only opened up to very few people and he ended the lives the many.
She watches as he steps away, tears glistening in his eyes. The priest gives him a sympathetic look before telling him to go sit down now. He slowly walks away from where my brother's coffin lies and into the arms of an older woman who is stood slightly to her right, who holds him tightly as he starts sobbing against her shoulder.
She stops watching him when she hears her name being called. She looks up and notices the priest is looking at her with a sad smile on his face, beckoning her to come up and say a few words. She's about to shake her head but she notices that everyone is watching her so she takes a deep breath before beginning to walk up to his coffin.
She stands next to her coffin, her hand gently rubbing the polished, dark wood. Looking at the few people stood watching, giving her supportive smiles paired with teary eyes, she takes a deep breath and begins to speak quietly.
"Caleb taught me many things growing up. He taught me how important family is, he taught me that people are cruel and life is not fair. The most important thing he taught me though was the importance of keeping your word. Not that he was very good at that. He broke a lot of promises but the few he did keep" she takes a deep breath before continuing "were the ones who showed me what kind of man he really was. I'm like him in ways, which in ways, I'm overjoyed about, which I'm disgusted about. But I'm going to make him one final promise".
She leans down so her lips are mere centimetres away from his coffin before whispering "I'm going to find the bastard who did this to you and ruin everything he has".
Hope you's liked it and that it wasn't too shitty
