Epilogue
Jenna's funeral service was held a couple days later. It was a warm, sunny day and the funeral service was quick since John and Dorian were the only ones there. John just stood there as the preacher gave a short service before she was buried at the cemetery.
After she was buried and everything was finished, John opened the gate and stared at Jenna's grave. He had brought Jenna's guitar since was the only valuable possession she had. He laid it down next to her grave and then sat down next to it. I could've saved you Jenna, John thought to himself. If I hadn't let you pushed me out of the way, this wouldn't have happened and you would still be here. This is all my fault...
He didn't know that Dorian was standing behind him. Dorian could tell that John didn't want to be bothered. His partner was going through unimaginable grief and instead of saying anything, he decided to just leave John alone.
The door to the cemetery opened. John looked back and saw his partner Dect. Stahl walking towards him. "Hey," the only thing that he could think to say.
"Hey." Stahl said and she went over and sat next to Kennex. "I'm sorry. I just got back and Dorian told me what happened." Valerie could tell that John wasn't all right. "She must have been really important to you."
John nodded. "She took a bullet for me..." He paused for a bit. "I guess not many people would do that."
"I heard she punched Dect. Paul too." Stahl let out a little laugh. "I guess that that would be pretty gutsy too."
John nodded and smiled a bit. "Yeah..." But his smile turned into a frown. But this is still all my fault though...
Valerie could tell that John wanted to be left alone, so she got up and started walking out of the cemetery, not knowing if he would follow her or not.
About 10 minutes later, John got off the ground, looked at Jenna's grave one more time and started walking out of the cemetery. He grabbed something in his pocket and stopped dead in his tracks. Kennex then realized the pictures that Jenna had given him were still there.
He smiled as he looked at the photos. John then walked back to the cemetery and put them next to Jenna's grave. I'll never forget you Jenna...and I'll never forgive myself for leaving you. Now I realized that I shouldn't have left you to begin with. We were happy back then. I love you...and I always will. And with that, John finally walked out the cemetery and never looked back.
