It was the next day, which was the memorial. It was a bright sunny day, it wasn't too hot and not too cold, just right for the memorial.
"Jody was a great person who's life was taken far too soon. Her mother died shortly after
she was born and her dad left her at an orphanage. She may have had a tough life but you wouldn't have known by looking at her. She was always happy and never once let anything get to her." The priest said. Michael started to silently cry. Sonny held on to his hand.
Her very special friend, Michael was there when she was shot and did all he could to keep her alive. He was with her as she passed away. Michael would like to say a few words." The priest said. Michael got up and stood at the front.
"Jody was the kind of person you love to be around. She was the sweetest kid I've ever known." That was as far as he went before he started to cry. Sonny went and brought him back to his seat.
"This concludes the service." The priest said as he shook Michael's hand. Everyone else got up and did the same.
"There's refreshments back at the house." Carly said as everyone followed her, leaving a single flower by the grave.
"Michael, are you coming?" Dillon asked.
"I'm going to stay here for a bit." Michael replied. Dillon walked away.
"Jody, I'm sorry this happened. I promice I will track down every last person who did this to you and I will personally make them pay." Michael said as he placed some flowers down and walked away. He didn't realize it but Ned heard everything he said.
Sorry this chapter is so short. The next one won't be.
