Chapter 18: The Conclusion

It was four days later. I went to the Morgan's Funeral Home and hoped I wouldn't be noticed by a certain

individual. That was highly unlikely, seeing as there were only four other people there, including the

minister. I knew that they were together but they were all sitting in different pews for some odd reason. I sat

on the left side behind the woman. There were two men on the other side. The service was long and painful.

The same thing that caused a death of a good friend of mine, had also destroyed a team and many lives. It

was hard to pretend I had no idea who these people were, but I tried my hardest to forget them all. The

service ended and we all went outside to see my old friend get put into dirt. It was snowing lightly, which

made the air have an unwelcoming creepiness to it. There were tears flowing down the checks of all who

were attending, as well as the cold frozen tears from above. She liked the snow, it made her smile. I hadn't

forgotten this, but after today, I would try my best to. I wanted and needed to forget it all, and I was going

to. If I had to leave my future and return to the past, I would forget all that I could and it would be like it

never happen. I figured it was the best way to go, not that I had another choice. My life flashed in front of

my eyes as if I were dying. I kinda wish I was. I remembered how good life had been when I changed it and

went with them. She was the reason behind it all and now she was gone. The connector was gone, the

connection was gone, and all that remained for me was a dark alleyway, and I hoped, a short life. As she

was being lowered into the filth that lay beneath the ground, I couldn't help but remember that she wasn't

afraid of dying. She could have been an inspiration to many, but she accepted her fate and so it was. I hope

she's happy now. I wish I was. I wish this would never had happen, so I could still be a part of something. I

wanted to be someone again, not the same old nobody I used to be. I was on my own again and I didn't

really want to be. I wasn't ready to leave everything and everyone. I though I should just go back to the

place I once lived with her and some others. I knew I wouldn't survive if I went back, that's why I wanted to

go. I stood there for a while watching the spot where dirt was pilled on top of my old friend. I wished, once

again, that it would all be a dream. The funeral was small, because the ones putting it on didn't have much

money. I knew how they felt and I sympathized for them. The day was dark and the air was chilly and crisp.

I didn't want to leave the cemetery, I had no where else to go. I wanted her to dig her self out, comeback to

life, but it never happened. All I could do was think. I couldn't move, I couldn't feel, just think. My mind

raced and I thought about everyone and everything. I couldn't stop and I didn't, until someone snapped me

into reality. "Hey." I heard a small voice say. I still didn't move I just stood there looking at the dirt. "I

wanna talk to you ok?" I didn't say anything. I thought it would be odd to talk to someone who didn't exist

anymore so I kept my mouth shut. She sighed and stepped in between me and the dirt I was staring at. I

blinked my eyes at the change of scenery, and closed them shortly after. The bitterness in the air seemed to

fill my body, mind, and soul. I was shivering and cold all over until I felt a sudden warmth against my body.

I felt arms wrapped around me and I opened my eyes in shock. I couldn't resist anymore, I couldn't,

absolutely couldn't, forget her. She was sobbing loudly, with her head pressed into my chest. I held her

close and never wanted to let go. "Shalimar," I said crying. "I love you. I won't forget you." I let her go and

she broke down, tears filling he beautiful face. "I'm sorry." I said and I turned away. "Wait, Brennan." I

turned around and shook my head at her. "No, Shal." I replied sadly. "It would never work." She nodded

very slowly and I turned away for the last time.

THE END!
