I Could Cry all Night.
Chapter 5!
Sora gazed out the window at the countryside rolling by. The same she had seen only a week earlier, but now the land seemed dark and ominous. Lightning flashed in the distance, shortly followed by a crash of thunder. Rain soon pelted the windshield of the blue suburban. Tears were soon rolling down her cheeks.
"All I seem to be doing nowadays is crying …Two of my best friends are gone, Mimi might as well be dead. It just can't be helped." The stress put on her and all the others were just too much to really bear.
Joe saw her tears falling, despite her futile attempts to wipe them away. He put his hand on her shoulder, and she managed to give him a weak smile, even thought he knew it took some effort.
Joe was the only one who actually made Sora feel safe. She refused to get in a car with anybody else, because her fear of another accident overwhelmed her. The look he gave her when he looked at her made her feel protected and comforted from the dangers of life.
She took his hand in hers for the rest of the ride home, even though it was another good 12 hours. She needed his security; tomorrow was Izzy's funeral.

They all lined up to enter the church, all with tears in their eyes. Rain was pouring down, and all around were tons of black umbrellas.
"Why does it always rain during funerals?" T.K. thought. Kari was leaning against him, with Tai on her other side, supporting her. She was incredibly weak, but she refused to sit in a wheel chair.
Hundreds, if not thousands of people were there. Many people they recognized from school, some were family, and some they didn't have a clue to who the people were.
Seats were reserved for the group in the front of the church. They sat down and waited for the sad ceremony to begin. Tai, Matt, Joe, and T.K. left the girls and headed to a small room near the back of the church, where Izzy's coffin was waiting. The 4 guys along with Izzy's dad and uncle would be the pallbearers.
Sad slow music came out of the organ and they slowly picked up they coffin and made there way down the long isle to the front of the church. Izzy's mom burst into another round of tears, which started a chain reaction throughout the whole church. Muffled sobs and whimpers could be heard through the congregation.
"I never even knew Izzy knew this many people. That he touched so many lives." Tai thought as he looked around at all the people dressed in black.
After what seemed like an eternity, they reached the front and lower the coffin onto a stand that awaited it. The guys made their way back to their seats.
"Today is a sad day, but it's also a day of celebration. For this young man has gone to a better place, a place where there is no pain, no sadness, no tears or mourning…" The preacher began and kept talking for twenty minutes on all the things Izzy had done in his short lifetime. How he helped save the digital world and the real world from Apoclymon. (a.n.~ if that's spelt wrong don't hate me forever.) And all the small things, like helping his friends study for a history test, or helping his mom with dinner, things like that. By the time the speech was done, they ones who weren't already breaking down form tears, were at least misty eyed.
With the speech over, the pallbearers rose and gathered the coffin and made their way out into the rain. The congregation followed them to a place of newly dug earth and they all gathered round.
All of the remaining chosen children gathered dirt and made ready to sprinkle it on the coffin as it was lowered into the ground.
"Ashes to ashes." They tossed a bit on. "Dust to dust." The rest was thrown on. (a/n. if there was anymore that went with that, I'm sorry, I forgot.)
"Rest in peace, my friend." Tai mumbled as a lone tear slipped down his cheek. Kari stood by him and griped his hand as if both of their lives depended on it.
The umbrellas forgotten, Sora clung to Joe for all she was worth. Rain and tears mixing on her face she repeated over and over, "Don't ever leave me, promise me you'll never leave me."
Joe just hugged her close to him and let his own tears fall. "I never will, Sora, I never will." He whispered.
This was a very sad chapter for me to write, I wanted to make it longer but I just couldn't because it was so sad. I hope you like my story and please review because they're fun to read.
