Chapter 4 – Seth and the Funeral
Apov
"Okay what did he say, whatever it is just tell me Keenan". He just stares at me. What the hell is going on?
"Well I called him when your Grams.... moved on and told him what had happened. He asked if you had made your decision yet." I looked at him blankly, He told him my grandmother died my Grams and he asked that? He told me he would always be there for me...and when I need the both of them the most that is what he wants to know?
I look up to see why he hadn't continued and I saw something in his face, and it was the strangest expression I have ever seen on his face. An equal amount of guilt and pleasure. "Keenan keep going".
"Well, I snapped at him told him that strangely enough that decision hadn't been your priority right now what with one of the most important people in your life dying and said that if that was all that was on his mind I didn't want him anywhere near you." He moved to a near bye chair and gave a low laugh. A dangerous one. "Of course that he didn't like. Told me that I had no right telling him to do anything and that I don't know you at all. Oh he also said that if anyone was going 'comfort' you through your time of grief it was going to be him. That is everything that was said that you need to know,"
Wow, that was something I did not expect. "So where is he? I mean if that's what he thinks shouldn't he you know be here?"
"Well he was with his new best buddy Niall and said he would be here as soon as he could"
"How long ago was this?"
"About an hour"
I can't really explain why but before I knew it I was crying whether it was Seth or Grams I don't no but I was crying yet again. I didn't see him move but there Keenan was. Again telling me that everything was going to be alright and gently stroking my hair. We stayed like this for a few minutes before I heard a door slam open and a very familiar voice "Don't bother Carly I'm going in and you can't stop me."
Hey whatever is going on with the three of us don't even think about taking it out on Carly! I lifted my head to say this out loud but he spoke before I could.
"Well how cosy. Get your hands off her. He should have known you're a hypocrite on top of everything else."
Before either me or Seth could see it happen Keenan had him pinned against the nearest wall
"Don't even dare. Not in my court. Whether you like it or not, and believe me I'm hoping it's the latter, I will be with her for eternity. Can you say the same?"
I could see where this was going, the threatening smirk on Keenan's face and Seth getting redder by the second.
"Stop" There was nothing in my voice but the message was clear, Keenan immediately let go and Seth made his way toward me and before I could react pulled me into a hug.
Gentle and firm, just like the Seth I fell in love with I gave him a small hug back and pulled away. I walked over to Carly, took the goblet that was waiting for me from her and drained the entire thing. All three stared but said nothing.
I rubbed my eyes I was too tired too deal with the two of them. I sighed "Keenan have the funeral arranged yet?" In truth I didn't really expect them too be.
"Most the rest should be finished in a few hours"
"Okay, Seth?"
"Yes, my love?"
I ignored that and continued "Seth get all the details for the funeral then please leave. I'm going to my room to rest. Keenan thank you"
I gave him a small smile and started to head towards the door.
Before I left I turned and said "Please behave, both of you. I'm at my limit here and I can't handle anyone else I care about getting hurt." With that I left and Carly followed.
We made it to my room she gave me a small hug and went to bed and just slept. Trying to keep my thoughts away.
*----------------*
Before I knew it, I was at the funeral I didn't say a word through the whole thing. At the graveside though, I walked up to the coffin placed my hand where her name was and whispered through the tears very simply "Goodbye"
I went through the formalities of the wake and was robotic for the whole it. The most important thing I can say about the day was that both Seth and Keenan never left my side not once. They didn't say a word to each other, but they didn't fight either.
We were back at court I was heading to bed when I turned to drop the bomb I'd been waiting to do for days.
I turned to the two of them ignoring everyone else who may have been in the room and said I'm heading to bed now. When I get up tomorrow morning I will be making an announcement which I think you two will want to be there for. I've made my decision."
And with that I headed for the door "See you in the morning" and left not wanting to see their reactions.
Well it's a bit of a cliffy here. Who will it be?? Well maybe if I get a few more reviews you will find out. I may decide not too post again until I get say... 5??
We shall see. Come on people that little green button you know you want to. Well, you know I want you too.
