Chapter 17

It was the morning of Bianca's funeral, and no one was really prepared for what was going to happen or for the final farewell to a sister, lover and best friend. There were so many people that were hurt when Bianca chose to took her own life. Almost everyone in Summer bay had arrived at the church farewell her for good, people included Colleen, Irene, Leah, April, Heath, Casey, Brax, Charlie, Ruby, Dex, Sid, Roo, Alf and many more of the beloved Summer Bay's local residents.

The Minister had begun the service, and tears had started falling from almost everyone in church. April was called up to say her piece and thoughts about Bianca.

"Bianca was my sister, but she looked after me as I was her daughter. After being left to fend on my own, Bianca took me in and made sure I was looked after. She gave me advice when I needed it. I couldn't have wanted a better sister. I will always miss her and I will always love her despite our differences throughout more recent times. I love you Bianca".

By the time April had sat back down in her seat, she could barely stand up she was crying that much and that's when Charlie was called to make her speech about her beloved best friend.

"Bianca was my best friend; she was the only person who had known my secrets for many of years. She was the person I could go to when something good or bad happened. She was there for me no matter what. She looked after April like she was her own, and she would of made a great mother to her unborn baby. Bianca had so much life left in her and was taken from up way too young. If there was a way to bring her back, I would bring her back today. I love you Bianca".

Charlie had a hard time trying to get all of that out in front of all these people, she was really upset and she didn't think she could cope through too much more of what was going on. She just wanted it all to end, or the pain or the sadness. She just wanted Bianca back here to help her get through this hard time she was going through.

The funeral service had finally come to an end and they decided to hold the wake back at the Diner, where Irene, Colleen and Leah had all arranged the food earlier in the morning before the funeral begun. There were some nice stories that were spoken about and there were many tears shed among loved ones. Charlie knew if Bianca was here today that she would be so angry with herself, for making the people she loved and that loved her go through this traumatic experience.

Charlie was finishing her tea, looking around at all the people here today, until she noticed that one person hadn't shown up today. Hadn't they cared that Bianca had passed away she thought to herself. Charlie walked over to Brax and whispered into his ear "Liam's not here and he wasn't at the funeral either. Did he not care about Bianca at all?" Brax just replied with a simple, maybe he was hurting too much too attend the funeral. He didn't want to make Charlie angry or upset any more than she was already was by telling her that there was a possibility that she could be right about Liam not showing up today. Brax wanted to give Charlie the slightest bit of hope about why he really wasn't there on the day of his Fiancée and mother of his unborn daughter's funeral.
