--- Never Surrender---

~I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow~

~I don't wanna live like this today~

I was asked to give Lucy's eulogy. Without really thinking about it first, I took up the offer.

I had no idea what to say. It wasn't until I sat down and thought about it that I realised I'm not the person who should write her eulogy. It was all my fault she was gone anyway. If I hadn't been stupid enough to tell Lucy what'd been going on, she'd still be here.

But what if I'd never told her at all? She would've found out some other way surely. What would she have done then?

If she'd only let me finish explaining, if only I'd stopped chasing her to tell her. If I'd chosen a better time to tell her I wouldn't be sitting here wondering the if's. If only...

I stared back down at the paper. There was no way I was going to be able to write this eulogy. I wasn't cut out for it, all of this was my fault anyway.

Maybe her brother can do it, would it be wrong of me to pass off the responsibly to Roxas. Would Cloud and Tifa understand that I just couldn't do it.

I guess the only to find out was to try. I reached for my mobile phone and dialled Roxas's number.

"Riku, need some help?" Roxas greeted. It wasn't often Riku called Roxas.

"I can't do it Roxas" Riku said, choking a little on his words.

"I understand' Roxas consoled, since her death, Roxas and Riku had become quite close. Roxas knew the complete story behind the two of them and whist Riku spent his time blaming himself for Lucy's death, Roxas couldn't help but see how it was also Lucy's fault for running out onto the road without looking properly.

Yes it was partly Riku's fault for cheating on her, and Roxas would never forgive him for that, but he was going to make amends when Lucy ran away.

"Thanks Roxas," Riku mumbled.

"I think I can handle it," Roxas replied. "Stay safe." He hung up. 'Stay safe' was just something he and Riku always said to each other, reminding them to not do anything reckless and stupid, their own personal reminder of Lucy.

Now that Roxas had been given the responsibility to write her eulogy, he hoped he could pull it off.

Stay with me here now~

~And never surrender~

I cried in this chapter too D:

please tell me your thoughts of how I've written it to be like. I really do want some constructive critism this fic is sought of an experiment. Hopefully I've got it right.

Reviews to say I've got it right are just as helpful.
