Jade was on her pear-pad with the headphones plugged into it as she sat in the backseat of Andre's car, with Tori next to her and Robbie in the passenger seat in front of her. They were on their way to the graveyard currently, since it was the one year anniversary since Cat passed away. They were taking pink roses to her gravestone.
Jade went on YouTube and pressed "Play" on a video that had 3,999, 012 views since Cat's funeral. It was a slide show of Cat's life, but mostly since Cat found out she had cancer. Robbie and Tori had made it and then posted it. The song that played along with it was actually Cat's singing voice, after she did a cover to it.
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Starting:
-Cat in baby photos
…
-first day at Hollywood Arts
…
First "winning" ping-pong match
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh well
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had just enough time

I've had just enough time

But it sure felt nice when he was holdin' my hand,
There's a boy here in town, says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
The video stopped right when Andre put the car in park in front of the section Cat's grave was. Jade held her tears in as she put her pear-pad down and stepped out of the car with everyone else. Robbie carried the flowers with ease, growing stronger over the past year, and they came up to her headstone, that had cursive writing on it.
Caterina Hannah Valentine
August 1st, 1994 – May 15th, 2012
A precious daughter, sister, granddaughter, friend, and girlfriend
And believe it or not, her headstone was in the shape of a heart.
What else could the world expect from Cat Valentine?
Robbie put the roses in the flower holder and stood back up.
"Hi, Cat." Robbie cleared his throat. "It's Robbie…even though I'm pretty sure you know good and well who I am. You know everything about me. I have a girlfriend now, believe it or not." He looked back at Tori, who took his hand with a smile. "Yup. Tori finally said yes." He chuckled. "You were always encouraging me, weren't you? I remember your voice in my head, telling me that you wouldn't always be there to cheer me on verbally and to push me forward. Well, I hope this past year, I've proved to you that I followed your advice and direction. I love you, Cat. I hope you're happy up there."
Robbie looked to Tori, who stepped up. "Hey, kitty-Cat. I stayed to my word. I gave Robbie a chance and I never knew what love was until I kissed him and actually meant the kiss. Why didn't I listen to you sooner? Anyways, Jade and I are best friends, but you're still in our circle, don't worry. We think about you and talk about you constantly. You're always in our conversations. I miss you, love you, and you're always in my heart." Tori leaned down, kissing her hand and then putting the kiss on the stone.
When Tori leaned back up, Andre kneeled down, tracing his fingers along the cursive writing. "I miss you so much, Lil' Sis. You were such a big part of my life, so I haven't really figured out what to do with myself. We hang out, but you're not there. So…it's hard. I know you would want me to keep going, so I'm going. I snagged a record deal and all my songs on my first album are all about you, babygirl." He smiled, tears brimming his eyes. "They'll always be about you. Forever and always." He stood up, looking to Jade, who shook her head. "Why?"
Jade kept her eyes on Cat's stone. "She knows." She smiled softly. "She knows."
Andre walked behind Robbie and Tori, to the headstone next to Cat's. He crossed his arms and glared at it.
Beckett Oliver
February 27th, 1994-May 27th, 2012
A lost son, grandson, friend, and boyfriend
"You piss me off, I hope you know that." Andre growled. "I love you, man. You were my best friend and brother. Look, I understood what happened. Cat was everything to you. You put your all into her and her stupid bucket list all last year. It drained everything out of you and you just had no strength left in you. As you said in your note, "Why go through life when you don't have any feelings or emotions?" and we understood, but really, man? Why kill yourself?"
"I would be a witch and say he was a coward, but I almost did the same thing." Jade walked up. "How do you go on after losing someone so precious to you? Of course, I had Tori there for me constantly and having so much patience with me and my mood swings. I had someone to lean on. Beck, you didn't know how to do that. You didn't know what to say or what to do next. You lost everything the day Cat died. I guess we were in the same boat. We didn't prepare ourselves for her death."
Tori came up to with Robbie. "I forgive you, Beck." She whispered.
Robbie nodded. "Me too."
Jade sighed. "I guess I forgive you too. I know you're keeping Cat company up there. You're watching us."
Andre looked away to control his emotions and then looked back. "I forgive you too, bro. Take care of my Lil' Red." After a moment of silence for their two deceased friends, Andre sighed. "Karaoke Dokie to sing songs for Cat and Beck, anyone?"
The rest of the gang smiled and nodded. After giving their stones hugs and kisses, the gang left slowly.
In transparency, Beck and Cat were sitting on Beck's stone together. Beck's arm was protectively around Cat's waist. He looked the same, only healthier and happier. Cat had her long, red hair back, dressed in her ballerina dress, white, with sparkles. A pure white halo on stop, a white bow, and medium size white feathered wings. "I love them so much." She said, her voice sounding so distant.
Beck kissed her head. "Me too, babygirl." He looked her in the eyes when she turned back to him. "I love you." He whispered as he leaned his forehead onto hers, their noses touching.
Cat rubbed their noses together softly. "I love you too. Thanks for coming to be with me, Beck."
"Forever and always, my love."
AWWWWW!
