Caitlan's POV
We buried Rachel in the same grave as Ron – she would have wanted that.
"We commit to earth the body of our sister Rachel. May the Lord look upon this grave, and bless it."
It will always haunt me that the last thing we ever did together was end up in a fight. And last act she ever did was tell me she was happy to be with 'her Ronnie'.
There weren't as many people at the funeral as there were at Ron's or Vi's, but her parents were there – even though they hated the fact that their daughter's last wish was to be with a dangerous gangster. But they loved their daughter and therefore they would do as she wished, even if it meant she was being buried in the Kray family plot, rather than her own family's plot.
Reg was once again let out to provide me with moral support, however he wasn't allowed to be at the graveside this time, like with his mother's funeral. But he did hold my hand in the church, and he and I both read readings at the mass; I didn't say a poem since I didn't have a way with words like Rachel did. I wasn't as shocked about Rachel's death as I was about Ron's; I think it was because I didn't expect Rachel to survive long without Ronnie. They were as one as Ron and Reg. The twins were bonded by blood and bone, but Rachel and Ronald were bonded by illness and by soul. I'll leave it up to you to deem who is closer.
"Bye Rach… it was nice whilst it lasted."
I left the grave alone.
And I went home alone.
