*******************************************************************************************
Elizabeth had not slept for more than twenty minutes in the past week and half, her sister was gone, and she blamed herself
"Elizabeth" Mark whispered, rolling over to meet his wife's apparant tear-stained face
"Come on honey, Alex would'nt want you to be crying right now, would she?" he said, trying to hold back tears himself
"Sure, you're right" she said, wiping her eyes and sniffing
Elizabeth got up, and wandered towards the bathroom, to get ready for the day she had been dreading for a week and a half...
Alex's funeral, most of her family would be there, and probably a lot of the ER staff too
She sat down on the cold toilet and sobbed her heart out....
**CUT TO OPENING CREDITS**
In the ER, there was an air of sorrow and an awakening to what had happened
Dave, for once, was quiet, and not making passes at every girl in sight, instead, he sat at the admit desk, staring into space....
"Dave, you going to get yourself to the chapel for Alex's funeral?" asked Kerry
"Um sure chief, whatever" he said, with a blank, still-in-shock look on his face
"Poor guy, the one time he falls in love, he loses the person he's in love with" said Kerry, sighing
**MEANWHILE IN THE HOSPITAL CHAPEL**
Elizabeth looked around the chapel and noticed that it was beginning to fill up with people, family, friends, colleagues...
"Elizabeth there going to start now, OK?" said Mark, putting a hand on her shoulder
Isobel and Charles Corday were for once holding hands and hugging each other, instead of taking every oppurtunity to
insult each one another, those insults had been replaced with tears, tears for the daughter they had lost so tragically....
Elizabeth stepped up to the altar to read a poem dedicated to Alex
Tears streaming down her face, she began...
I stand above on high,
Watching you shed tears,
that stain your eyes,
Wipe your tears,
you need not let them go,
Life may end,
But my spirit lives on,
Sand and Water,
grains of time,
Time will provide,
the strength you need to carry on
I am still here,
i have not gone
"If Alex was here today, Im sure she would be saying something to that effect" sighed Elizabeth, looking into the crowds
in front of her
She got down from the altar and looked at the plaque on Alex's coffin it read:
Alexandra Louise Corday
1986-2002
Loved and cared for by all
In the background, the opening chords of the Spice Girls song "Goodbye" began playing, the words touched something deep inside everybody's hearts
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
no, no, no, no...
Listen little child, there will come a day
When you will be able, able to say,
Never mind the pain, or the aggravation,
You know there's a better way, for you and me to be
Look for the rainbow, in every storm,
Fly like an angel, heaven sent to me
Goodbye, my friend
(i know you're gone, you said you're gone, but i can still feel you here)
It's not the end,
(gotta keep it strong, before the pain turns into fear)
so glad we made it,
Time will never change it, no, no ,no, no,no
Just a little girl,
Big imagination,
Never letting no-one, take it away
Went into the world,
What a revelation,
She found there's better way, for you and me to be
Look for the rainbow, In every storm
Find out for certain, love's gonna be there for you,
You'll always be someone's baby
Goodbye, my friend
(i know you're gone, you said you're gone, but i can still feel you here)
it's not the end
(gotta keep it strong, before thenpain turns into fear)
So glad we made it, time will never change it no, no, no
You no it's time to say goodbye, no, no, no, no
The times when we would play about,
the way we used to scream and shout,
We never dreamt you'd go your own sweet way
Lokk for the rainbow, in every storm
Find out for certain, Love's gonna be there for you
You'll be someone's baby
Goodbye my friend,
(i know you're gone, you said you're gone but i can still feel you here)
its not the end
(you gotta keep it strong before the pain turns into fear)
So glad we made it, time will never, never ever change it,
(no, no, no, no)
You know it's time to say goodbye,
(no, no, no, no)
and don't forget you can rely,
You know it's time to say goodbye,
and don't forget on me you can rely,
(no, no, no, no)
i will help you, help you on your way
i will be with you everyday
(no, no, no, no)
Everybody in the chapel was crying as the song finished, words seemed so fitting to the moment......
Alex's coffin was taken out the chapel on the shoulders of Elizabeth's father, Mark, Malucci, and two of Elizabeth's cousins
The crowd of people in chapel followed slowly, bowing their heads in respect
