Chapter 10

Jen had arrived back home and went straight to her room. She hated the way Hellon had just treat Tilly. Jen was kicking herself how she didn't stick up for Tilly there and then. But she just didn't want it all to kick off between them. Thats why she waited until Tilly had left. As if it wasnt enough Hellon getting all in Tillys personal business like she had no feelings, but this: this stepped way over the line.

Tilly had went home and went over her letter for Jen and her speech for tomorrow, she'd played Shine ya light most of the night. It was there song, the gangs. They all used to play it together, sing along, dance around together. It made her smile remembering the times they actually had. But before long, after she'd drank the bottles of wine she fell asleep on the sofa with the music still playing.

Waking up with the bright light shining through the front windows, the birds chirping. It was a lovely day, but it was the day Tilly had been dreading. The day she was saying her final goodbye to her friends. It killed her to think of it, never seeing them again, not sharing stupid jokes with Neil, not seeing Ruby and Jono slob all over one another 24/7 and not seeing everyone lick around Maddies arse all the time. It was going to be difficult for herself, but she needed to be there for her friends as well as herself. Today wasn't about how she was feeling, it was about giving her friends the best send off they deserved.

Tilly got up and showered, got all dressed up in her outfit and waited for her parents to arrive who was taking her straight to the church. She didn't eat anything. She actually hadn't ate anything in days now and still didn't feel the slightest bit hungry. She placed the letter for Jen in her bag and went over her speech for before the coffins would be put into the ground. She'd arranged three photo frames for each of them with a picture of the full gang together, three roses. Her father had already arranged the flowers for the graves. Best Friend ones. She was all set, and before she knew it, it was time. Her parents were outside waiting for her.

When she arrived at the church there was many people there, all of the families, close friends and people from college just to pay there respects to the three popular loved teenagers. It was jam packed, everyone coming together as one to say one final goodbye to those who passed.

Jen was in the church with Diane, Sinaed and Bart when Tilly and her parents arrived. Jen clocked her straight away, Tilly had came and sat beside them with her parents to comfort Sinaed, Bart and Ruby who was behind them with Jack and Frankie. Tilly grabbed hold of Sinaeds hand as the funeral began. Parents said a few words, prayers were made, and there favorite songs were played. Alot of crying and a lot of heartache went by but everyone there, had someone to comfort them and thats what it was all about. Having someone there who can hold you and tell you everything was going to be ok. Tilly didnt cry, she didnt want to show her weekness. She tried and tried to stop the tears from falling. But she knew, she could only stop them for so long. It was now time to arrive at the cemetary, this was going to be the hardest part of it all.

Maddies mother asked Tilly if she'd had her speech prepared and if she was still alright making one and Tilly nodded. Not long after everyone went to there seperate cars, awaited for the horse and carages to pull away first, the black cars and then everyone followed behind.

It always drove Jen mad when silly immature drivers flew there way inbetween cars, making it even worse to the fact everyone in the cars were there for one reason and one reason only. Dickheads! she thought to herself.

When the family members and close friends arrived into the cemetary they all gathered around the three open spaces in the ground. Support was coming from all over. Studants from the college were not far behind, other teachers who'd tought the three were around and most of all the people who the three loved the most.

It was time for Tillys speech. The moment she was dreading so much. This was the final goodbye, the final fairwell and she'd kept her tears and emotions in for so long she didn't really know weather she'd last throughout the speech. Everyone went silent, Tilly cleared her throte and began her speech.

The past week has been a terrible time for us all, living the nightmare that we have all come to terms with, but one thing I can say is Maddie, Jono and Neil would be so proud of each and everyone of us for how we've all been there for each other, united in there support.

What can I say? The three of them were amazing, perfect in every possible way and the best friends anyone could only dream of having. Maddie, she was a strong person, she didn't like to show her emotions but all of us here today, we seen the real Maddie Morrison. The loving, caring soft hearted person she really was. Always up for a laugh. She has been hard on us before, plenty times but she's also been there for us, all of us whenever we really needed her.

And Neil, Ha what can I say about Neil. He was a funny, intelligant guy. Yeah he used to brag about being with all these fit girls but thats who he was, thats one of the many reasons we all loved him so much. He was special to me, he was special to everyone. I could tell him anything, and no matter what it was or how bad it was he always used to say It will be alright man, i'm here for ya every single time and I for one can't bare to think what lifes going to be without him.

Jono, well we all had to love Jono. He wasn't like Neil at all, which was weird because they were so close. He didn't think about all these girls he set his heart on one and he stuck by her every step of the way. Jono was our hero, if it wasn't for Jono other people here today wouldn't be alive. I know that Jono would have been an amazing Husband and a true hero in the army too.

Well I'm just blabbing here, but I just wanted to say from me, from everyone that the three will never ever leave our hearts for a second. There will always be certain memorys which will bring us back to you guys.

We carry them with us every day wherever we go, so to Maddie, Neil and Jono from all of us here today…this isn't goodbye, it's just a different kind of hello!

Tilly then pulled out her photo frames and her roses and rested one of each on each grave. I love you guys she said and she walked back to where Sinaed and her friends were standing. Quickly wiping away the tears which fell, only to find more and more fall. She was there, she said her goodbye and she comforted her friends in need. Everyone each let of there balloons into the sky and said there final goodbye.

Rest in peace Maddie, Neil and Jono. Never be forgotton.
