The flowers continue to bloom for us
The funeral was five days later, after Lanie had performed autopsy on the body and when every protocol had been honoured. I was invited as well and walked to the graveyard while wearing mainly black clothes. Mayze was waiting for me at the church entrance and greeted me with a kiss and a hug. We hadn't talked much the past few days, he stayed home some days to help his mother and when he was at school we just spent time together in silence. 'I'm sorry for kind of ignoring you the past days.' He said as we walked in. 'Doesn't matter, I can talk to you without using words.' I said as I smiled at him. 'Thanks for sticking with me.' He suddenly said. 'Ofcourse. Why wouldn't I?' 'Because he did it…' He said briefly. 'I'm going to tell you this once more. You're not him, I won't blame you for what he did!' I said convincingly. 'Okay okay, got it. You think I should introduce you to my mom now or later?' He asked. 'Depends, how is she taking it?' I asked as I looked around for her. 'She takes it well. In fact. When I told her, she laughed. When I told her that I wasn't joking, she laughed harder. She didn't even want to come.' He said, sounding like a typical *FML message.

'Okay, in that case yes. I think…' I said as I spotted a woman in the crowd who didn't seem to have much trouble with it. He took me to her, confirming that she was his mother, and introduced me as his 'girlfriend'. I was so overjoyed when I heard him say that that I was having trouble with staying calm. 'Nice to meet you Haylee. I'm really sorry that you have to be here, it must be hard for you.' She said as she shook my hand, her face not showing any emotion. 'It's fine and nice to meet you too.' I said as I smiled, honestly thinking that she wasn't all right up in the head.
The ceremony was nice although the pastor didn't say many nice things about him, only that he was someone who would surely be going to Hell. Nearly everyone nodded in agreement, even his family. I walked out of the graveyard as they burried him, figuring that I didn't really want to be with that. 'Hey.' Mayze said as he stood beside me. 'Hey, sorry for not staying…' I apologised as I looked at him from the corners of my eyes. 'Doesn't matter, I get it.' He said understandingly. 'Would you mind coming along to my house? I don't really want to be alone now and my mom isn't the best company.' He asked it in a shy manner which wasn't like him at all. 'Sure, I'll just tell Castle that I won't be coming home.' I said as I got my phone out of my pocket, went to my contacts and tapped his name.
'Hey, I just wanted to tell you that I'll be staying at Mayze's.' 'You're not going to-.' 'No! Ofcourse not!' I said emberassed. 'Okay, I'll see you tomorrow then. Have fun.' He said as he hung up. 'Have fun' didn't seem right at all but I didn't mind, he meant well. 'Come on, let's go.' He said as he took my hand and led me through the streets. 'Shouldn't you wait for your mom?' I asked. 'No, she already left after the church ceremony.' He said coldly. 'Oh that's… nice.' I said clumsily. 'My thoughts exactly.' He said as he turned the corner.
He took me up to his room which was small but cozy and sat down on the bed. 'You got a nice room.' I said as I sat beside him and laid my hands on my lap. 'You're hands are all red.' He said as he took them into his own. 'I forgot my gloves, didn't you notice before?' I asked as I grinned. 'No, not at all.' He said as he brought them up to his mouth and gently kissed them. 'I wonder what would've happened if we hadn't met at the graveyard.' I said as I got my hands back from him. 'I would've just fallen for you at school then and I would've tried everything to make you mine.' He said as he pushed me over and kissed me. 'And you would've succeeded.'
