Chapter 7

Dave's POV

I hate crying in front of people. Mindy once told me that crying in front of people shows that you have weaknesses and you don't want anyone to know that you have any and what they are. And one of my weaknesses is Mind; well I guess I kind of gave that away by crying in front of everyone on the podium at her funeral but that's not the point.

Once a couple of Mindy's other friends finish their speeches, I think back to the note I found under Mindy's pillow.

Read this at my funeral.

The top of the folded paper had read. I memorized it, reading it over a hundred times, not wanting to forget her words. Just as they are about to put the casket into the ground I sigh and yell, "Wait! I have something else I would like to say."

I step up onto the podium once again, wondering why Mindy would make me read this at her funeral.

I take a deep breath before beginning Mindy's speech. "So um, Mindy wrote this before she died; she left on a note under my pillow with the instructions for me to read it. So yeah, here's Mindy's speech.

"It's kind of odd to have a dead girl speak at her own funeral," I begin. The crowd lets out a light laughter as the words leave my lips. Allowing a small smile to dance on my lips, I continue. "But I was a very odd girl; you can ask Marcus about that. Oh and you guys don't know how hard it was to write the first two sentences of my speech without cussing. So I do apologize for my language throughout my speech. I just wanted to let all you guys know that I love you all for wasting your time to come to my funeral. Honestly, I'm a bitch to all of you, I know that and I'm really sorry. My friends have been there for me no matter how much of a bitch I am and no matter how many times I kick their asses and call them 'cunts'. Marcus, I'm really glad that you got a chance to be my daddy after daddy died. You were the best 'new' dad that I could have asked for. I mean, who else would put up with all my shit and all the weapons I hid all over the house. But Marcus, you do have to admit that they did come in handy when someone broke in and held a knife to your throat. I came in with my teddy bear and shot those fuckers to the ground!

"But anyways, I also wanted to thank Marty and Todd- hopefully you guys are there or else this is going to be really weird for Dave to read. You guys were the best. Thanks for buying me all those comics and knives by the way, I really did love them.

"And to all those fucking bullies that bullied me throughout school and probably showed up to say 'Oh, we were her best friends and we loved her' and fake cried and shit, Fuck you! Honestly, you guys can go die in a pit. Sorry my insulting skills are kind of weak considering I'm writing my funeral speech.

"And finally, my final message for Dave. You were the best boyfriend I could hope for. You were always there for me, even before we were boyfriend and girlfriend. You were my best friend and always put me first even when you were dating that bitch Katie. I love you.

"And okay, I'm done so you can like put my body six feet under now."

Marcus looks up at me for a second, his expression unreadable. Then Marcus ignores me for the rest of the funeral and I just sit there, playing with my hands in my lap, ignoring everyone. Well it's hard to ignore the person next to you when she keeps sniffling and resting her head on my shoulder. I resist the urge to push her off each time she does. I wanted to rip that stupid black veil off her face and figure out who she was. It was driving me insane but I was too upset about Mindy's death to care too much.

When Mindy was in the ground, everyone scuttled around, making sure that Marcus and I were okay. But honestly, I wasn't. I wanted Mindy to be alive. I missed her so much that my chest ached and I had to sit down or else I would collapse.

The girl in the black veil stood in front of me while I took a second to breathe. I bit my lip as I studied her. She was about Mindy's height; her hair was covered by the veil so I couldn't tell what color it is. Her face was also covered so I couldn't identify who she is. Her black dress fell to her knees, exposing her pale legs. A light black sweater covered her arms and her feet were covered by black flats.

The wind blew and for a second, I saw her face. It was pale and her rosy cheeks had tears falling down them. Her hair was a golden blonde and her blue-green eyes shone sadly. "Mindy?" I gasped before she covered her face again and disappeared into the trees.

(A/N: So I know it took me a while to update this and I'm sorry. I also know that this chapter isn't very long. I'm not going to lie and say that I'm really busy today and that's why it's short. Honestly, I'm addicted to this TV show Torchwood that is absolutely amazing! And I can't stop watching it and I've had this idea for a while and I didn't want to make you guys wait any longer. I also have this volleyball thing I have to go to today so... Also, if you need a good KA fic to read, I highly recommend you read my best friend HGF34567's stories. She's an amazing writer and her stories are fantastic. So go read her stories!

I would love to hear what you guys thought of the chapter. Do you guys think that it's actually Mindy? Or is Dave hallucinating? Let me know in a review or PM me! See you guys next chapter!)
