Review, flame, whatever
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Miranda? Are you ready?" I asked as I slowly entered the room. The wake was to start in half an hour and Miranda was driving her self crazy over her having to perform, and just my luck I was in the car. (A/N: she was 'driving' her self crazy... Gordo's a sarcastic little mother oh well LOL), she'd already made arrangements for a small band to accompany her.
"Yeah," she said stepping out of the bathroom. She looked beautiful, her hair was loose and she was wearing a simple off the shoulder black dress that came down to her knees, and some high heeled shoes. She had small silver hoops in her ears, a small cross hung on a thin chain around her neck, and as always she wore the ring I'd given her. "Is something wrong?"
"Huh?" I asked realizing I'd been staring. "No, it's just, well in case I don't tell you later," I said walking towards her, "I'm proud of you." I said, giving her a light kiss on the forehead.
"Thanks, um we should, go." She said giving me a slight smile then heading out.
~*~
At the wake you had the usual, people wearing black, people crying, tons of flowers, the coffin in the front, a podium set up, and a live band on stand by. Okay so the live band wasn't all that usual, but the rest pretty much was.
Traditionally the wake lasts for two to three days, but Mr. Right informed us that it was Mr. Sanchez's will that the wake only last one day, and the funeral be held the next.
When we entered Miranda and I went to see the body and say our good byes. I stayed with her and paid my respects then I left her alone with her father and took my seat in the front row, near Miranda's family.
Miranda took a while, and then took the seat next to mine; she looked near tears, yet none escaped. After what seemed like an eternity of sad speeches in Spanish from Mr. Sanchez's friends and family, even I felt tear escape. Even though I didn't know him half as well as any one else here, Mr. Sanchez was a great man and always kind to me. By the time the final speech was delivered the Miranda was the only person who had yet to shed a tear.
After the final speech was delivered it was Miranda's turn, she gave my hand a quick squeeze then stood up and walked towards the stage with the band, and I as promised started filming.
She stepped up to the microphone and signaled the band to start as the music slowly filled the room she softly whispered, "This one's for you Daddy." Then took her cue and began to sing.
"I'll always see your face
The corner of your smile
And all the little things that no one will ever know
Like it was yesterday, won't ever fade away
Goodbye is just a word that I will never say"
She griped the microphone stand with her left hand as she delivered the first chorus, getting in to the song.
"You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You're more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten"
She removed the cord less microphone from the stand.
"I can't hold your hand
Or look into your eyes
And when I talk to you
It just echoes in my mind
But If hearts are made of dust
And if we fell from the stars
I look up tonight and know just where you are"
She held the top of the stand with her left hand and the microphone in her right hand as she belted out the second chorus.
"You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You're more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten"
She replaced the microphone on the stand.
"And the world just keeps on going
It has no way of knowing
That you're gone"
Tears were now visible streaming down her cheeks.
"You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You're more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten, forgotten"
As the music ended she whispered, "I love you" Then slowly walked off stage.
There was no applause as she walked off stage only sobs growing louder, (but considering the circumstances that may be a complement) and people started to leave.
We stayed until the last of the mourners, left and paid there respects to Miranda and her family. Most were still crying and a few were sobbing uncontrollably, but Miranda's tears like the song had long ended, only leaving a faint trail.
~*~
Once we got to the hotel room Miranda retreated to the bed room, we hadn't spoken all the way over here, and I didn't want to press it, she obviously had a lot to deal with, but I wanted to be there for her.
About a minuet later I followed her into the room. She was laying on one of the beds with her back towards me, and clutching a pillow for dear life.
I walked over to the bed and lay down next to her then I slowly put my arm around her waist.
"You were amazing, out there, and I'm proud of you." I whispered.
I felt her let out a sob, "I think he liked it." She said softly her voice choked up.
"So do I"
She turned to face me and buried her face in my chest as she cried. "I miss him" ,she sobbed.
"I know" I whispered as I tightened my grip around her, and then lightly kissed her hair. I wish I could do more, but all I can do is hold her through her pain and hope she'll be okay.
