Chapter 6
"Kim's been in her room now for over a week, I think we need to call her Mom". Kat told the guys the morning of the funeral when they came over.
"I agree, we aren't getting anywhere with her". Adam agreed.
"No wait until after the funeral, I mean she'll be seeing all of her gym friends, they might bring her out of it". Rocky suggested.
"I hope your right Rocky". Aisha began getting her bag ready for the final.
"I do too". Rocky said as he watched them all leave. He pulled his tie loose on his suite. He hated wearing suites, he usually only wore them when he visited his Grandparents.
Rocky glanced at his watch, then up towards Kim's bedroom. He sighed and went up and knocked on her door, she didn't answer so he opened it slightly, enough to pop his head around. She was sat where he expected she would be, staring out of the window. Her rosy cheeks were no more, she looked weak and ill.
"Kim are you ready"? He asked gently entering the room fully. Without an answer she stood and walked towards him.
At the funeral, she didn't even speak to her friends as they came up to her and embraced her. One of her friends came up to Rocky and introduced herself as Lizzie. Kim was stood still next to some other girls from the gym.
"I'm Rocky, Kim's friend". Rocky shook Lizzie's hand.
"What's wrong with her, we knew she'd be upset but". Lizzie said leaving the sentence open as she didn't know how to describe Kim.
"She's been like this ever since the accident. She hasn't spoken a word, locks herself in her room and closes everything and everyone out". Rocky told her. "We've decided to call her Mom after the funeral, but I think we're all hoping that after the funeral she'll start dealing with everything".
At that second the hurse pulled up at the front of the church and people started to gather around the entrance, waiting to follow Tamara's body in. Rocky stood next to Kim and grabbed her hand. Once in the church the Minister began the service.
"We are here today to celebrate the life of Tamara Cole. Tamara lived her life to the fullest. Before Tamara's sister gives the eulogy I would like to read you a poem :- I feel your sorrow, And appreciate your prayers. When you are lonely
Know that I am nearby for you.
While I'm no longer on earth, I'm in a new place-
A place too beautiful to describe.
It's a place of peace, comfort, and love,
A place so warm and wonderful
It defies imagination.
While you are sad now,
You will grow in strength.
You can turn to me in prayer-please do.
You can continue to love me.
I will watch over you-though for now
You will not be able to see or touch me.
You are still on earth
And meant to be there for now.
You will grieve; it isn't easy.
Death is always sad,
But believe that someday soon we'll be reunited
To be all that we can be
With God and our loved ones.". The Minister read and then stepped down as Tamara's sister Kyla stepped up.
"I can remember the first time I ever saw Tamara after she was born, she looked like this shrivelled up prune, screaming continuously and pulling my braids, but watching her grow up, she turned out to be a breathe of fresh air, the smile never left her face, even when she was taking the rap for something I had done. I felt so proud when she was doing gymnastics, so elegant and mature". Kyla smiled as tears rolled down her silky brown cheeks. "I know if she were here now, she'd be telling us to smile and be happy for her, because she was going to gymnastics heaven where everyone won gold, she would ask you to remember her as she was not as she is now". Kyla sat down and hugged her mother.
The Minister stood and told of the hymns Tamara's family had chosen. After inging them, everyone followed Tamara's coffin out into the graveyard where her journey was to end. Before they left Kim's hugged Tamara's mother, father and sister then her friends from the gym then left with Rocky.
When they got home Kim began heading back upstairs until Rocky stopped her.
"Kim you can't live in that room for the rest of your life. You have to let her go". Rocky said as he touched her arm.
"I can't just let go. It was my fault". Kim screamed back at him tears rolling heavily from her eyes.
"No it wasn't, it was just an accident". Rocky tried hugging her but she pushed him away.
"It was my fault. I killed her. She would have been able to get out of the other cars way if I hadn't been there". Kim ran off upstairs.
Whoa this was really hard to write. I hope you enjoy it though. PLEASE R&R! THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR REVIEWS!!!
