Hello everyone! I know this chapters late…again. I'm sorry but it took me awhile to get into the depression I needed to write the funeral scene. Enjoy.

Zack's point of view

So today was the day we leave for Santa Barbara. We had to get up pretty early to get off the boat in time to catch the plane. Thankfully we made it and now we were on our way.

In rows of three it was Woody in the window seat, Travis and then me. Across from us were Bailey, Cody and London. Mr. Moseby was sitting behind us.

"Good morning everyone, the sky's seem to be clear so this should be a smooth ride." The pilot said over the intercom. "We should be arriving in Santa Barbara California in 4 hours, thank you and enjoy your flight."

"Ugh 4 hours!" Woody complained.

"Don't worry Woody." Travis said. "It will go by fast with all of us here."

"Well first things first." London said. "I'm going to sleep, it's too early."

"Yeah it is." Travis and Woody both agreed.

Within a few minutes London, Travis and Woody were all asleep. I actually wasn't tired so I just half watched the movie that they had playing.

"Wow Zack you're actually still awake?" Cody laughed.

"Yes." I laughed. "I'm not very tired."

"He's just excited to see Lily." Bailey said from beside Cody.

"Yeah, yeah." I said turning my attention back to the movie.

I must have fallen asleep during the movie because I woke up to the sound of Woody and Travis talking.

"Hey dude, you finally awake." Travis laughed. I sat up and saw that they were playing cards.

"Yeah." I mumbled. "How long was I asleep for?"

"Well according to Cody you dozed off not long after us so you were asleep for three hours and forty five minutes." Travis said as Woody laughed.

"Wow really?"

"Yeah the pilot just came on and said we will land in like 10-15 minutes." He said getting very into the card game.

I looked over to where the others where sitting and I saw London was still fast asleep along with Bailey and Cody. I was too lazy to stand up so I grabbed a card from Travis and chucked it at Cody's head.

"What? What!" Cody said sitting up. "Zack did you just throw a card at me."

"Yeah pretty much." I smiled. "Wake the girls were going to land in like 10 minutes."

Our landing wasn't bad, my ears popped but it didn't hurt that bad. We got off the plane and headed to customs. That took awhile and it was extremely boring.

"Alright everyone our bags are to the left." Mr. Moseby instructed. "Once we all have our belongings we can go find Lily."

It didn't take long at all to find all of or bags. Within minutes we had everything and were walking to the front entrance of the airport. We stood there for a few minutes scanning the crowd for Lily.

"Hey there's Nathan." Bailey said pointing him out in the middle of the crowded airport.

"Hey everyone." He smiled once we saw us walking towards him.

"Hi Nathan." We all said.

"Oh Mr. Parker once again I'm so sorry to hear about your father." Mr. Moseby said.

"Thank you Mr. Moseby and please call me Nathan." He smiled. "Alright guys I rented a big van for us, its outside."

We walked outside and sure enough there was a van. We pilled all of the bags in and headed off.

"Hey Nathan where's Lily?" London asked.

"We figured you guys would be hungry so she's at the house making some lunch." He said from the driver's seat.

It was about a half an hour drive until we pulled up next to Lily's house. It was a pretty big house with two levels. It was white with blue shutters/trim and had lots of windows. We got all of our stuff out and headed up to the front door. On our way there you could see the garden full of flowers.

Nathan opened the door and we all walked into the front room. The house had a really night ceiling and light brown hardwood flooring. It was one of those places where you instantly felt comfortable.

"Just leave you bags here for now." Nathan said. "Your all probably hungry."

"So much." Woody said rubbing his stomach.

"Then let's go." He smiled leading us down a hallway towards the kitchen. "Lily?"

"Yeah?" I heard a very familiar voice ask.

"Were here." He said as we entered the kitchen.

The kitchen had a big wooden table with plates and cutlery all lay out. It had all the appliances and shinny granite counter tops.

"Hey guys." Lily said coming from the other room.

Bailey and London immediately ran over to hug Lily when she walked in. We all walked over to join them saying our hellos to her as well. When they girls stepped away from Lily I was finally able to see her. She looked just as beautiful as always except she looked thinner, drained and a little unhealthy. When she looked up from Bailey and saw me the million dollar smile broke out.

"Zack." She said walking over to hug me.

"Hey Lils." I smiled as I hugged her back. As she was in my arms my suspensions were confirmed, she did feel smaller and lighter.

"I missed you." She said pulling back.

"Missed you too babe." I said leaning down to kiss her.

"So Lily whatcha cooking?" Travis asked once Lily and I broke apart.

"Pizza." She said walking over to the oven and pulling out two large pizzas.

"They look delicious." Woody said nearly drooling.

"Don't worry Woody." Lily said placing the pizzas on the stove. "These won't take long to cool."

"While we wait we can all take a seat at the table." Nathan said motioning to the table.

We sat down while Lily cut the pizza up and handed it out to all of us. It was delicious, it tasted even better then it looked. Just when we thought we were full, Lily pulled out this apple pie.

"Oh that was amazing." I said as everyone else agreed.

"Alright guys come with me." Lily said standing up from the table. "I'll show you were your rooms are."

We all climbed the stairs to the second floor, and started walking around to the rooms. As we walked I looked on the walls and saw pictures of Lily and the rest of her family.

"Have you packed everything away yet Lily?" Bailey asked.

"No, just a few rooms but the rest will be done before we leave." She responded. Right then she stopped in front of the first door.

"Mr. Moseby this is your room." She said opening the door to a room that was empty except of a bed and a small dresser. "Sorry there isn't much in it, this was my dad's office and we already cleaned it out."

"No trouble at all." Mr. Moseby assured her placing his bags down and continuing the tour with us.

"Boys you'll be right here in the guest room." She said motioning to a well decorated room that was very bright and had multiple beds and cots in it for us.

"This is Nathans room." She said motioning to the door across the hall from the guest room. "Girls you'll be staying right here in my room."

"Awesome." London said.

"But Lily if we stay in your room where will you sleep?" Bailey asked.

"Oh don't worry about it Bailey, I'll just stay in my dad's room." She said.

"You sure you want to do that Lily?" Mr. Moseby asked.

"Yeah I'll be fine." She smiled. "Alright let's go bring these bags to my room."

Mr. Moseby went downstairs to check up on the SS Tipton while the rest of us went to Lily's room.

"Right here." She said opening the door.

Her room was exactly like I had thought it would be, exactly like her personality. Her walls here a light purple color with lots of pictures and some posters on them. She had a wooden vanity dresser with decorations from different places her and her dad have gone. There was a desk in the corner and a TV beside it. There was also a bookcase and double doors which I guess lead to her closet. Her bed was on the far side of the room with purple, white and chocolate brown sheets and pillows.

"I love it Lily!" Bailey said once she took it all in. "It's so cool."

While the girls put their bags in the closet I went over to look at some of the pictures on her wall. There were so many! Lots of Lily and her dad in different locations.

"Like them?" I turned around to see her standing behind me.

"Yeah they're nice." I said pulling her in front of me and put my arms around her. "You take lots of pictures."

"Yeah I do." She laughed then pointed to one picture on the end. "This was the last one I took of dad and me."

It was a picture of Lily, Jack and Nathan at a restaurant. They seemed to be somewhat dressed up and there was a cake in front of Lily. They all looked really happy.

"Where were you?"

"That was at my birthday dinner." She smiled. "We went out to a restaurant and dad had them bring out this cake he bought to surprise me."

"That's a good memory." I said kissing her forehead.

"Hey Lily, where did you get this stuff?" Bailey asked from her dresser.

"Which stuff?" Lily laughed as we walked over to where Bailey and London were standing.

"All of it! It's all so cool." Bailey said picking up a green and pink painted fan.

"Dad got me that when he went to Japan." She said then picking up a little stuffed animal. "This is from a few years ago when dad and I went to Beijing for some events of the summer Olympics. This was one of the mascots."

"That's awesome." London said picking up a snow globe with Tinker Bell inside it with glitter. "How about this?"

"My first trip to Disney World." She smiled.

"Wow Lily you've been to a lot of places." Bailey said in awe.

"Yeah." She smiled. "My Dad and I would love to travel together."

___That night___

We spent the rest of the night mostly just relaxing and getting used to the house. We had a great time watching movies all together. Mr. Moseby was the first to go up to bed and then Nathan.

"We should probably get to bed." Bailey said yawning. "It's gonna be a long day tomorrow, especially for you Lily."

"Yeah let's go." Cody said.

We all climbed the stairs up to our rooms. I fell asleep pretty quickly since I woke up early. I awoke suddenly when I heard a noise come from the hall. I looked up and saw that it was 3am. I walked to the door and slowly poked my head out, no one was there. I stepped out and walked down the hallway to the stair case, I was about to go down when I heard another little noise. I quietly tip toed down the stairs and saw Lily on the couch.

"What are you doing?" I whispered once I entered the living room.

"Hi." She said snapping her head up and giving me that innocent face.

"Why are you out here?" I asked sitting next to her on the couch. "You need sleep babe it's gonna be a tough day tomorrow."

"I know, I know." She said sounding a little frustrated. "I just couldn't sleep in there, so I came down here."

"I understand." I said patting her arm. "You okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine just need some sleep."

"You're not going to get any sleep on this couch Lils." I said knowing most of the time she moved around in her sleep, if on the couch she would fall off.

"Well its better than the restless sleep I got in there."

"Is there anything I can do?" I asked. "Do you want me to stay here with you?"

"I would but we can't stay down here." She said standing up. "I think I can stay in my dad's room if you're with me."

"Alright." I said walking up the stairs with her.

___The next morning___

I woke up at around 8am. There wasn't much noise so I'm guessing no one was up yet. I slowly got out of bed so Lily wouldn't wake up. She didn't have the best sleep so I didn't want to wake her. I opened the door and started walking out into the hall; I turned around and saw Nathan standing in the hall looking at me.

"Ughh hey." I said pretty sure I was a about to be killed.

"She couldn't do it could she?" Nathan laughed.

"Nah, I found her downstairs around 3." I said walking closer to him so I wouldn't have to talk so loud.

"Yeah I thought so." He said. "Don't worry I'm not mad, thanks for being there for her."

"No problem."

"Well I'm going to go start breakfast." She said walking down the stairs. "It's going to be a long day."

Lily's point of view

__Later that day__

Right now Nathan and I were in the limo on our way to the church where the funeral was going to be held. It was 2 pm and we had been doing the opened casket visiting all morning. Zack and the rest of the gang had called and said they would be there soon; they didn't come to the visiting because it was mostly family/close friends. I also think they didn't come because they felt a little uncomfortable, which I understood.

As we pulled up there were a few camera's waiting outside, the paparazzi. Since my dad work for many celebrity clients to whom we got close to they would be at the funeral which meant paparazzi. Thankfully I prepared for this, I had sun glasses to hide my eyes, which right now where red and puffy. As soon as we stepped out of the limo I saw the camera's going off. I could also here then all yelling, mostly stuff like "Lily! Nathan! Miss Parker! Mr. Parker!" as Nathan led me up to the church.

Once we got inside I saw everyone was seated. I looked around and saw a lot of friends and Zack, Cody, Bailey, London, Travis, Woody and Mr. Moseby were seated in the 6th row.

"If you're ready we can bring the casket in?" The funeral director said. Nathan looked down at me and I nodded.

"Sure." Nathan replied. They brought the casket to the doors and started to bring it out. Nathan and I were just going to walk behind the casket to our seats in the front.

Nathan took my hand as we started to walk. As we went I got a good look at everyone who was here. I could feel my eyes start to water a little bit. I saw Zack and the rest of the SS Tipton gang all dressed in black and white. When Nathan and I walked passed Zack, who was on the end put out his hand and I took it for a quick second until we moved on.

The church was decorated with lots of flowers, mostly red roses and Cala lilies. This made my heart sink a bit, my dad always loved to have lilies in the house when I wasn't around. He always said they reminded him of me, not just with the name but with there beauty.

Once we got to the front of the church one of the attendants handed me my bouquet that I was going to place on my dad's casket. It was a big bunch of pink Stargazer lilies. Nathan told me to pick a flower that would represent me. I chose those because it was a mix of my dad's favorite and me, the lilies he loves and the bright pink color I liked. Nathan stayed in the aisle while I went up to the casket and placed the flowers right on top. I stayed there for a second and my fingers across the smooth surface if the casket.

"I love you Daddy." I whispered before turning back to Nathan. We walked back and sat in the front row with Aunt Katherine. She was here with her husband Matt.

The priest started the service and I started to bawl my eyes out. Just the thought of my dad being in the casket made my heart break. I was getting pretty loud with my sobs when Nathan tried to calm me down.

"Its okay Lily." He said hugging me as aunt Katherine scooted closer and put her hand on mine.

"I..I..don..dont like the tho..thought of him being in th.. the casket." I sobbed on his shoulder.

"Oh honey its okay." Katherine said. "It's just his body, his soul and spirit is in heaven."

I just nodded, that thought made the sobs less frequent. The service seemed to go on for hours. Finally the priest asked the family to come up. The four of us stood up and walked up to him.

"I'm so sorry Lillian." She said shaking my hand. "He will always be with you child."

"Thank you." I said with a small smile.

Soon after that the service was over and they started to push the casket down the aisle of the church. Nathan and I slowing followed it back down with Katherine and Matt.

Once again once we got outside and I saw the casket being lifted onto the funeral car I started sobbing all over again. Before I knew it everyone was around me. Zack had his arms wrapped around me, Bailey and London were both crying while holding my hand and Woody, Travis and Cody were kind of in a group hug around us.

I had my eyes focused completely on the casket just picturing my dad laying there like he had been during the visitation. I was aware of everyone around me and I could hear then too. It was all a chorus of "It will be okay" "Were here for you" stuff like that but I was just tore at the fact that that would be the last time that I physically saw my dad. I turned around to force myself into Zack's arms and sobbed even harder. Nathan said this would be one of the most emotional parts but this was getting to be too much.

The paparazzi started coming around since everyone was leaving so I quickly put my glasses back on and ran to slide into the limo with Nathan, Katherine and Matt. We were all headed to the hotel where we would be holding the reception. Once we pulled up I had to admit the hotel was beautiful.

We got into the room we would be using and I thought it was beautiful. They had moved all the flowers from the church and placed them here. There was also picture set up all around of Dad, Nathan and I. In the front of the room there was a big picture of just Dad, it was a really nice picture too. I remember picking it out a few weeks ago; it was from our last family photo shoot. He looked really happy in the picture. It was a head shot and you could just see the white shirt he had on. Of course he was wearing his signature smile and his hair was slightly messy but in a good way.

_____A few hours later____

Everyone seemed to be having a pleasant time, which was good because Dad wouldn't have wanted everyone crying and sad. We were laughing and telling stories about Dad, sure there were some tears but all in all it was a good group to be around.

"Lily I can't believe some of the celebrities your dad worked for." Bailey said running over to me. "I just saw Brad Pitt, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears and Jennifer Aniston."

"Yeah some he didn't even work for some of them he just knew them really well from other people." I laughed.

"It's so cool." Cody said. All of a sudden his jaw dropped and he just stared at me. I looked around and saw Bailey and Zack had the same expression.

"Hey Lily." I turned around and found out what they were so shocked about

"Hi Leo." I said hugging him. Yes I know I was hugging the one and only Leonardo Dicaprio.

"I'm so sorry to hear about Jack. do you know where your living yet?" He asked.

"Yeah I'm going to live with Nathan in New York City." I smiled.

"That's great." He smiled. "Remember if you need anything just call me."

"Thanks." I said as he walked back to the rest of the guests.

"That was Leonardo Dicaprio!" Cody said jumping up and down like a teen age girl.

"Yeah." I laughed as he stopped. "He's known me since I was 3; my dad met him when he did Romeo and Juliet."

"Oh I so wish I was you." Bailey laughed.

"Lily I'm gonna go thank everyone." Nathan said. "You want to say anything?"

"Sure." Everyone had been giving little speeches all day and now I wanted to make one.

We walked up to the little stage they had in the front of the room. Nathan picked up the mic and went to had it to me. I refused telling him to go first.

"Hello everyone." Nathan started. "I would just like to thank everyone for coming here today, it means a lot to Lily and I. I'm sure Dad would have appreciated you all being here today, thank you."

Nathan handed the mic to me and stood off to the side.

"I am very thankful to have you all here, as I'm sure my dad would be too." I said. "I'm so grateful for everyone in this room and the part they play in my life."

I looked out at the audience, 90% of the people out there were close to me. This made me feel at better and calmer.

"Most of you I consider family which I love, I mean how many people can say they have a close relationship with Leonardo Dicaprio." I said winking at him while everyone laughed. "But really all of you make the passing of my dad a lot easier so thank you. I would also really like to thank my wonderful brother Nathan for all he has done for me, including letting me live with him."

Everyone started to clap and I went over to hug Nathan with tears in my eyes once again.

"And last I would like to thank my wonderful friends from the SS Tipton." I said walking off the stage towards the table were they were sitting.

"My wonderful supervisor Mr. Moseby, my amazing friends Cody, Travis, London, Woody and Bailey." I said walking around the table as I named them, when I got to Zack I stopped and placed my hand on his shoulder. "And my fantastic boyfriend Zack. You all have been so gracious too me during this whole emotional time. I would have never been able to get through this without you guys. Thank you."

Everyone clapped as I went to place the mic back on the stage. The tears where still flowing from my eyes as I sat down with Zack and the others.

"That was great Lily." Zack said pulling me onto his lap. I laid my head on his shoulder while he rubbed my back.

"We all know you would do the same for us Lily, it's our pleasure." London said and everyone agreed.

I tried to slow my breathing a little as so the tears would stop. I knew started crying with tear of happiness but now it felt different and I couldn't stop. Zack must have noticed my change in mood and struggle because he leaned forward to whisper in my ear.

"Shhhh babe its okay just let it out." I knew that was probably the best thing but I didn't want to sit here and cry with everyone around.

___Zack's point of view___

I set Lily on my chair as I ran over to Nathan.

"Hey Nathan, is there anything else where going to do here?" I asked.

"No just going to hang out for another hour or two maybe." He said shrugging his shoulders. "Why?"

"I think Lily needs to just let everything out so I was thinking of taking her back to the house." I said looking back at the table. Bailey and London were in front of her talking while the boys were behind/next to Lily trying to sooth her.

"Yeah that's a good idea." He said looking over at her. "Everyone's seen her so it won't be a big deal. Maybe try and get her to sleep too since she didn't get much last night."

"Okay, we will meet you back home." I said as I started to walk back to the table.

"Hey Zack." Nathan called. "Take the car you guys drove here; I'll bring everyone else back in the limo with me."

"Okay great." I said walking back to the table. "Come on Lils lets go."

She stood up and I placed my arms around her as I started leading her to the door.

"I'm just gonna take her home to get some rest." I said to the others as they nodded. "You guys will come back with Nathan."

"Okay bye guys." Travis said as we walked out the door.

Once again sorry this chapter took so long. The next chapter will be short but it will be up soon! Please review, thanks everyone :)
