Okay so this was just going to be a one shot but as Vicky likes to call this it is a two shot xD
ANYWAY! SURPRISE! HOPE YOU ALL LIKE IT ;)
So here it is: (I'll give it a name xD )
Never to be forgotten.
Shane's POV
That was the one thing I never expected. I think as Claire and I seat ourselves down at the front of the church, today is the day of Michael's and Eve's funeral.
I didn't expect Eve to jump in front of that arrow, I should have but I didn't, I mean I'd do the same for Claire. But I really, really didn't expect Michael to kill himself. No-one in this room expected to be going to a double funeral when invited. I cannot believe that in the space of two weeks I have lost both of my best friends. I am afraid I will lose Claire as well.
As I look around the room I see many people, humans and vampires. They aren't just here for Michael, I know for a fact they are here for Eve too. Everyone is wearing black. Maybe Eve would like that. I smile to myself.
I prepare myself for the speech that I have spent hours on end writing. I needed to make sure it was perfect.
The priest gives me a signal to come up so I squeeze Claire's hand and then cautiously walk up to the podium.
It all goes silent and all eyes turn to me.
I look down at my notes although I do not need them. I have learnt it all.
''Eve and Michael-'' My voice breaks and I know I am on the verge of tears. ''Eve and Michael were like family. I have been best mates with Michael since kindergarten and from the moment we met we were stuck together like glue. He was loyal and always stuck up for me. He took me into his home when my life was at its worst point, I still haven't thanked him for it, and I guess I can never do it now that he is gone.'' I take a breath and look over at the coffin; we decided open casket would be the best. '' You all know that I hate vampires. I'm not going to sugar-coat the facts. I was furious when Michael changed but I know it wasn't his fault. He was trapped and had no choice. He did it to save me. Again, he does something totally amazing whilst I am there messing life up for everyone. Michael was the only vampire I respected. Man, if you can hear me... I'm sorry for being such an idiot to you. You're my bro. '' I sigh and look at Eve.
''Eve... She's amazing. We became close when we were 12 years old. I wish we met earlier. She jumped in front of an arrow to save Michael. She died because of it. She is the bravest girl I have ever met. Not just for that. All of you have said things about the way she dressed, don't deny it. She was brave enough to walk out like that in this town. I respect her for that. She was the most alive person I have ever known as well. She joked around, giggled and was always happy. She was like my little sister, I promised I'd protect her but I failed at that. I'm sorry Eve. Really...'' I swallow the dry lump in my throat. ''I will never forget you guys. '' I whisper and step down, returning to my seat.
The rest of the speeches fly by. There were laughs and jokes made; I think this was a funeral they would be proud of. I know they'd tell us not to mourn but our life without them is going to be terrible, I don't know if I can live on. But I must. I must do it for Claire and for Michael and Eve.
They'll never be forgotten, I'll make sure of it.
So what did ya think? I know its still depressing but thats the whole point of this fic :) Anyway... This is definatly it... So yeah, the end :) This wasnt beta'd so its crap okayy so dont hate :)
