The time for the funeral had arrived and the hearse had came to the Braxton's street. Harley had just woken up from his morning sleep.

Brax, Heath, Casey, Ricky, Bianca, Sasha, Darcy, Andy, Josh and Katie were outside watching thehearse that carried Kyle's coffin comeup the street Bianca was holding Harley.

Heath,Bianca and Darcy hoppedinto Heath's Ute, Andy and Josh jumped in Andy's car, Casey, Denny and Katie took Ricky's car. Brax and Ricky looked at the general.

"Rick can you go with Casey, I'm going to ask if i can go with Kyle." Brax sighs and gives the thumbs up when he's able to.

When everyone arrive at the funeral home, it startsto rain.

"Great." He mumbles this day was dark enough without having the funeral on such are rainy and miserable day.

He gets out of the hearse and waits for everyone else.

Casey, Heath and Andy walk up to him.

"You guys alright." Brax asks.

"i've been better." Heath sighs.

The coffin is pulled out of the hearse. The girls had already sat down in the funeral home, as the boys entered with the coffin the music started to play.

It's just another night and I'm staring at the moon,I saw a shooting starand thought of youI sang a lullaby by the waterside and knew If you were here,I'd sing to you you're on the other side as the skyline splits in two.I'm miles away from seeing you I can see the stars from America
I wonder, do you see them, too?

Kyles coffin is ready to be lowered down all there is to do is the speeches, Brax looks around. So many Summer Bay residence were there. Alf, Roo,Marilyn, John, Irene, Jett,The Walkers, Leah, Zac,Nate, Kat, VJ and the twins,

So open your eyes and see the way our horizons meet and all of the lights will lead Into the night with me and I know these scars will bleed but both of our hearts believe all of these stars will guide us home.I can hear your heart on the radio beat they're playing 'Chasing Cars' and I thought of us. Back to the time, you were lying next to me.I looked across and fell in love so I took your hand back through lamp lit streets I knew everything led back to you so can you see the stars?Over 'Amsterdam. You'rethe song my heart is beating open your eyes and see the way our horizons meet and all of the lights will lead into the night with me and I know these scars will bleed but both of our hearts believe, all of these stars will guide us home.

Brax never knew that this many people cared about his brother this much.

The boys sat down and the funeral director started talking.

"Kyle Braxton was described by his friends and family as a bad boy with a big heart, he loved his niece and nephew, his brothers and his sister in laws so much and all he wanted was his own family to have his own kids his own partner but sadly his life
was taken away far too soon for that to happen. His brothers Darryl, Heath and Casey are going to say some words about their brother.

Casey was first up.

"Kyle...Kyle wasn't technically my brother... i mean... he isn't technically my brother. When Kyle first came to the bay i never thought i would ever think this about him... I never thought that iwould ever say anything about him... that is even the slightest...
bit nice but he was a good brother... No he was a great brother. After him and I got through our rough i found out that i wasn't a Braxton, Kyle was the one the saidt hat there was ... more to family then blood and he was right... Kyle is my brother
no matter who our parents are and... i don't care that there is no blood relation at all... He is and always will be my big brother and he was just...taken from us too soon. The way you were taken away from us Kyle was cruel... to cruel for words
to explain... But i know that you're safer now... and as much as i would love you to come back to us... I know that... you are safer but there... Rest i piece big bro...i'll never forget you." Casey breaths struggling to get the words out. Why did
this happen to his family,why Kyle? He kissestwo of his fingers and places them on the coffin.

Heath walked up to Casey and hugged him."Now it was his turn to speak.

"Kyle... Or Kylie, i called him that a lot, among other names like pretty boy that was a good one, Emo and Emo boy may have been brought up every now and again." Heath smiles lightly as he gets a few soft laughs from the group.

" Knuckles was another good one, that really annoyed him, I might of called him Junior every now and again and the last one twilight."Heath smiles lightly.

The group laughed lightly they had all heard Heath call Kyle at least one of these names.

"But the names i'm going to finish off with is little bro, cause thats what Kyle was to me he was my little bro, i don't care if he was an adult even when he's 50 he'll still be my little brother. Now jokes aside i need to get serious. Kyle... He was...
He has changed so much since he first came to the bay. When he first got here he was a... He was messed up, growing up without love messed up his headand he found that love in Danny our Dad. But for the people that know our Dad would know that, that
wasn't real love. When Kyle was little... their was only one person that loved him after his mum died and that was his Aunt... But she couldn't protect our brother no one could... When we found him... The real Kyle, then we all grew to love him...
His brown eyes sparkled whenever he laughed which didn't happen for a very long time, His perfectly straightteeth when he smiled...Now you must all understand how he got the name pretty boy." Heath sighs.

Chuckles came from the group.

"I'm going to miss him, more than he will ever know, he was a great little brother...A great kid... He would of made a great Dad as well but sadly he'll never get the chance to show it." Heath mumbles feeling tears now falling from his eyes as he gets
to the emotional part

"23 is too young... Kyle mate you were taken from us far too soon, Rest easy mate. you'll always be in my heart." Heath cries out as he kisses two fingers and places them on the coffin, he sits down and Bianca and Darcy comfort him.

Brax walksup to the coffin.

"Where do i start? Firstly thank you all for comig it means a lot to me and the boys. Just to know that you are all here today really does show me exactly what Kyle meant to everyone." Brax smiles lightly.

"Now... Kyle... He meant a lot to me. He was such a good brother, a good worker too. At the age of only 23 he was so responsible, so reliable. I could ask anything of him and he would do it. He worked hard and i knew that one day he would achieve something
really really great, he was smart and focussed but now he'll never get the chance to show that potential he had which is a great loss because whoever would of employed him would of found a great employee cause he worked so hard and the restaurant
won't be the same without him, Kyle didn't surf, We found out not to long ago that Kyle didn't even know how to swim growing up which is why instead he played guitar, and he loved it, playing guitar was his escape. Growing up he needed an escape."
Brax sighs so close to erupting in tears, Duncan and his sons made Kyle's life such a misery that Kyle really did need an escape from everyday life it was probably the only thing that stopped Kyle from just ending the pain.

"Kyle... he was too young too die, i'll miss him so so much. He wanted a family so bad and he got that with our family, he was part of our family. I didn't care that he was only my half brother. He was my brother and nothing is going to change that. Kyle
was my little brother, Mine and Heaths little brother, I know that Ricky and Bianca thought of him as their little brother as well. Rest easy Little bro, i'll always remember you and i'll come and visit you all the time, you're going to soon mate
and i'm sorry i should of protected you more. I'm sorry." Brax sobs he again kisses two fingers and places them on the coffin, Ricky walks up to him and comforts him.

"Brax do you mind if i say something?" Katie asks.

Brax nods in response.

"I'm Kyles Aunty, Yes the man and boys that killed Kyle were my husband and sons but their not my family they haven't been my family for years. But Kyle. i have thought of that darling boy as one of my own for years, ever since his mum died, i always
thought of him as my fourth son. One day after my husband forced me to watch him beat up that darling little boy, Duncan sent me away forever and threatened to kill Kyle if i ever came back. Ever since that day i wished that i had come to Kyle's rescue,
he was so much smaller than my sons and Duncan. I wished that i could of protected him but i knew if i tried that we would end up dead, but now here i am saying goodbye to my nephew who needed love.I'm sorry darling little boy, i wished that i could
of protected you better." Katie sobs placing a hand on the coffin.

It was now time for Kyle's coffin to be lowered into the ground, everyone walks outside, the rain had cleared up and now it was only cloudy.

The boys carry the coffin outside and place it on the machine that lowers coffins into the ground.

"We now say goodbye to Kyle Braxton may he rest in piece." The funeral director frowns.

Its been along day without you, my friend and i'll tell you all about it when i see you again. We've come a long way from where we began. Oh, I'll tell you all about it when i see you again. When i see you again.

Brax looked around tears were in everyones eyes, He breathed in a deep breath as his little brother was lowered into the ground. Never would Brax see his brother again.
