Chapter 3: Her

As I got ready for the funeral I heard a knock on the door. I quickly threw on some pants (not intending to wear them to the funeral) and ran for the door. I opened it and saw Terri. She was wearing an all black dress and a necklace with a cross on it. Along with her dark purple hair she looked very grim. And her face wasn't the happy Terri that he knew. It was older.

"What are you doing here?" asked Bart.

"Well I wanted to talk about yesterday and…well to drive you to the funeral. I assume you don't know where it is so I thought I'd bring you" she said with forced happiness.

"Well hold on a sec. I'll be right down" and I ran upstairs and got ready. I put on my nicest pants (only 1 hole in the knee haha) and threw on some colone…it was something romantic like Scent of Love. Apparently it attracted ladies but I seriously think its rat piss or something. I walked down and said as I walked past her

"Let's go"

"Ok" she said and got into the car and drove off.

We didn't talk the way there. There wasn't much to talk about and I was still very angry with her. I still couldn't believe she would let her sister bail her out of that relationship and not feel any remorse was amazing. She stopped the car a couple blocks to what I assumed to be the Funeral place and started talking to me. I didn't really listen to her though. I was to caught up in the fact that the love of my life was dead. I did here though, that she anted me to walk the rest of the way if I wanted. So without a word I got out of the car and started walking. I think she started crying but I didn't know and she sped off.

As I walked I thought about all the people I would see and wouldn't see. I was more looking forward to see my sister who I hadn't seen in over 3 years. Which is a long time considering we had spent most of our time together as kids. But times where changing and I knew, probably more than most people, that it was time to grow up. I have to change my ways and get out of this town. I can't live here forever even if everything is close by. Wait a moment. . . I have always been handed what I wanted. Homer wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed and therefore whenever we asked him for something he gave it to us.

Since then I only had to walk to the store with the money from Dad or walk to school where I did what I wanted or walk to a friend's house where I bullied him into doing what I wanted. It was time for a change. He would leave this dump and move somewhere important. And do something good for the world or something in the entertainment industry. Maybe I have a knack for T.V. shows. Who knows?

It was then when I realized that I was at the Funeral Home. I walked inside feeling better than I should have been. But plans do this to me. Whenever I have a plan I feel lighter than air…even if I don't show it sometimes. It was then when I saw Lisa. She got up and ran from her seat. We hugged and I couldn't believe the change in her. She was smiling, which was surprising because she is usually emotional at times of hardship. Maybe it was because we haven't seen each other for a while.

"You look good" she said.

"Of course, you don't look so bad yourself" I replied.

"Haha…so Sherri's gone…it's pretty sudden. How are you feeling?" she asked.

"I'm fine" I replied, even though it's no use lying to her. Lisa could always tell when I was pissed or angry or sad.

"I don't know what I'm going to do without her Lis" I said.

"Well you'll have to manage without her. It may seem cruel but that's life. I still can't believe Terri manipulated her sister like that. It's amazing what she's capable of" said Lisa.

"Yea…hey what are you talking about?" I asked.

"Well Terri has always been known to mess with people's heads. It's her talent. Just like I'm smart, your bad and Milhouse is cautious. I remember how she influenced me to become obsessed with working out and having the "perfect" body. sigh it's sad that she manipulated her sister. The one person who actually liked her" replied Lisa.

"True…well let's sit down" I said and with that Lisa and I sat down…making sure to be far away from Terri who sat near the back. I had no idea why though. Isn't she supposed to be doing the eulogy? And if not then who is?

Suddenly the light's dimmed and a priest came onto the stage like thing and started reading from the bible. After he was done he stepped down and a lady stepped onto the stage like thing. Her hair was purple but short. Maybe it was the mom but wasn't their mom dead? She died in a car accident like 3 years ago. If that's right then who's this chick? All through her eulogy I wondered who this broad was until she finished. She sat down and I stared at her. She was the prettiest girl I had ever seen and that was saying something because I had loved Sherri all my life. After the ceremony/ burial I was going to talk to her I decided.

A/N Woah long one. Took me like 5 days to finish. Please R&R and I'll write more :P
