This was the day I had been dreading since I first re-adopted Beth. The day of her funeral. I dressed up in a black dress with a locket around my neck with a picture of her inside of it. Puck came into my room and knocked on my door. He pulled me into a big hug. I threw my arms around his chest, my arms limp.
"Thank you," I whispered. "For what?" He whispered back. "For agreeing to re-adopt Beth. For helping me look after her instead of being a dead beat dad. For being there through thick and thin, and for actually answering the schools calls." I whispered, tears already falling down my face. Puck wiped them away and replied, "No problem."
We drove to where Beth would be buried and saw a bunch of people there. My family, Puck's family, the glee club, and even Coach Sylvester was there, dressed in a black track suit. I ran up to Mr. Schuester and hugged his rock hard chest, my tears letting loose again. "I'm sorry, Quinn." Mr. Schuester whispered.
Finally it was time for people to say their feelings for Beth. I let whoever wanted to go up. Finn came up first. "Beth. Nice name, by the way. I remember when I thought you were mine. My daughter. I loved you and never wanted anything to happen to you. And even when I found out Puck was your daddy, I still loved you and never wanted anything to happen to you. Your a beautiful angel now, and I've always wanted you to know that I love you Elizabeth Drizzle Fabray-Puckerman."
My actual sobs escaped this time. "Thank you, Finn Hudson," I whispered, hugging him. Mr. Schuester was up next. "Elizabeth, I have to say, you did ruin a lot of things in my life. You ruined my marriage, you changed my wife into a liar, although she had never lied to me before, and you even changed my ex-sister in law a little bit. But you did do some fantastic things. You changed Quinn from a snobby head cheerleader, to a bright, young adult. You even got Noah to lighten up a bit. We'll miss you Elizabeth." "Thank you Mr. Schuester," I smiled.
It was Puck's turn. "Beth. I always knew you were my baby. Before anyone, except mommy knew. After all the baby drama was over between uncle Finn and mommy, I never wanted to be like my dad. He was a dead beat. Do you know what that means? It means that he never cared about me. I always wanted to care for you, but I found out I couldn't, because mommy never would let me see you. She said you were better off with Shelby. I never believed it. So when mommy wanted to re-adopt you, I was actually happy, although I didn't show it. When we brought you home, I thought I did a pretty good job on your room, right? Good. Well, Beth, I'm really going to miss you. You changed my life, Beth, and I'll never know how to forgive you for that. Goodnight, Beth." Puck payed no attention to the tears falling down his face. He sat down next to me. "I love you Noah Puckerman," I whispered, kissing him on the forehead.
Then it was my turn. I stood up in front of everyone. I looked over at all of the glee kids. I saw Sam, my ex-boyfriend and smiled. He smiled and waved, even he was crying. I then looked down at the open casket which held my daughter. Her eyes were closed and she was wearing a fancy dress my mom had gotten her. I looked down at her and started to cry.
"Beth. I have to say, I used to hate you. I just wanted you out of my life so I could get back to being the head cheerleader and have my boyfriend back. But that didn't happen. I grew to love you, even when I was out of high school. I was having nightmares about you. And eventually they got so real, I wanted to re-adopt you. I really didn't want to pull you away from Shelby. I had dreams that you were really happy with her, and that I would never get you back because she would never agree to it. But she did. And I was very greatful. I was super excited to have my daughter back, but also super scared. I wasn't sure what to do. I had no expirience raising a child. But you were easy. I figured out you could feed yourself, so that was pretty great, and you were potty trained, so I had Shelby to thank for that. Then you came home from school one day with a black eye. I wanted to kill your teacher for not doing anything about it, and I wanted to kill the person who hit you. But I didn't. And you know why, Beth? Because you shouldn't be exposed to violence, and you can't always get what you want, as one of my good friends told me." I took a break and smiled at Finn.
"But then there was that awful night at midnight. Finn came to get me and drove me to Shelby and Rachel's burning house. I tried to save her, and the firefighters did all they could, but it wasn't enough. Shelby was gone. I remember when I came home you waiting by my door to come in and sleep with me. You said you'd been waiting there since 1:00, and that daddy went out to look for me at around 2. And I just realized that he left you alone, so i might have to smack him later. I couldn't tell you what happened with Shelby, because it would just break your little heart in two. I remember sleeping in about a week ago. I woke up at 10:30 to find you at school and daddy, supposedly at work. I came downstairs to see Rachel sitting on my couch. She told me you were in the hospital. When I came to the hospital, I was told you were ran over by a car. I decided I would never sleep again if it meant keeping you safe. Then you woke up and I thought you would live, but I thought wrong. The doctor told me you had about about a week to live. I broke down crying, but I knew that god just couldn't stand to send an angel like you down to earth. I came in and told you about the horrible night that Shelby died. I told you that Shelby was an angel, and that god loves angels, so he decided to keep her all to himself. Then you asked if she was in heaven, and I answered yes, and that you were going up to heaven, too. I hated telling you, but I knew it was the right thing to do. I told you that you'd be an angel with Shelby in heaven. I wanted to break down crying, but I knew that you'd understand. You always did understand things like that. I remember your last day. We watched the little mermaid, read a couple of story books, including the litle engine that could, and Rachel got you some toys to play with. I then remember our little conversation we had at 8:00. You asked me if you were going to die. Knowing I couldn't lie to my poor daughter, I said yes. And I told you that Daddy and I love you very much, and that we'll never forget you. You then told me you'd be waiting for us in heaven with Ms. Shelby. Beth, I love you, and I can't stand the fact that I couldn't save you from being run over by that awful man. I'll never forget you Beth, and nothing will ever replace you. You were the best daughter I've ever had, and ever will have, and I'll visit your grave every day. And remember that you'll wait for me in heaven. And now, I don't want to leave you, but I know I'll have to. So goodbye Elizabeth Drizzle Fabray-Puckerman. I love you and will never, ever forget you. I'll see you tomorrow."
Before leaving, I kissed Beth on the forehead and realized everyone in the audience was now crying. I then took Puck's hand, and with one last tearful look at Beth, walked away from my dead daughter.
