Here we are again. I decided to add an epilogue, because I was unsatisfied with the ending, as before I was quite happy with it. I am one indecisive S.O.B.

Oh, and btw, if you're not religious or you are a different religion than christian, don't be offended i didn't use your ways of a funeral. I'm quiet athiest myself, but I thought this funeral fit best. :'o

It's what some of you have been waiting for.

-------------------------------------

It rained for days. In every household, everyone was sad. On every street, every person seemed to be frowning; more hostile.

"We are gathered here to say farewell to Carter and to commit her into the hands of God"

On this specific day, it poured down rain. But nobody cared, as they piled into the small church.

"In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."

Everybody was in tears. Especially a pair of twins, that were seated in the front. Hayley, broken down, has never experienced the true feelings of losing a friend. Next to her was Chase, who also has never lost somebody close, but was trembling in rage.

He knew who did this to her. 

"Lord our God, you are the source of life. In you we live and move and have our being. keep us in life and death in your love, and, by you grace, lead us to your kingdom, Through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord."

"Amen."

The parents of the deceased, were also emotional. The mother was in tears, while the father rubbed her back comforting. The man was tired of dealing with anything that had to do with that wretched girl that was in the coffin. Before it was dealing with her utter existance, now it was the funeral and burial bills.

Everything now was just a big mess, and it surely wasn't in his favor.

"God, our Father, we entrust Carter into your hands"

Chase could no longer take it. His scream was heard across the church.

"You did this!" He accussed, pointing his finger at Carters father, Steven. He stood up, making Chase stand too. He ran to Steven and wailed on him. Taking out all of his anger, all of his misery on him. Punch after punch, he just went on and on.

"Lord God, our Father in heaven, Lord God, the Son, and Saviour of the world, Lord God, the Holy Spirit, have mercy on us. At the moment of death, and on the last day, save us, merciful and gracious Lord God."

"Chase! Stop it!" Hayley sobbed, attempting to hold back Chase, but he just shrugged her off, leaving her to weep alone on the floor next to him.

"Let us pray."

"Oh God, I hate you! I hate you!" Chase screamed, feeling his rage hitting a peak." Soon enough, he was dragged away by security and thrown into a police car. As for Steven, he was also led out by a medic.

"Our Father in heaven, we thank you that, through Jesus Christ, you have given us the gift of eternal life. Keep us firm in the faith, that nothing can separate us from your love. When we loose someone who is dear to us, help us to receive your comfort and to share it with one another. We thank you for what you have given us through Carter. We now entrust ourselves to you, just as we are, with our sense of loss and of guilt, When the time has come, let us depart in peace, and see you face to face, for you are the God of our salvation."

"Amen."

Hayley stayed in her spot, crying out for her dead best friend. Everything was now even more broken, and the sounds of crying was throughout the whole room.

Carter truly was missed. Even the priest was sad.

"Let us say the Lord's Prayer together:"

" Our Father, who is in heaven. Let your name be kept holy. Let your kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as in heaven. Give us today our bread for the day to come. And forgive us our sins as we have forgiven those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For the kingdom. the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen. Our Father, who art in heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen."

Often, you could hear Hayley cry out, "Carter!", as she sniffed and began crying again. Even she now wanted to just hang herself.

Carter was the only reason she was alive, and now that she was dead, why was Hayley still here to suffer even more than she had been before?

"Receive the Lord's blessing. The Lord bless you and watch over you. The Lord make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. The Lord look kindly on you and give you peace; In the Name of the Father, and of the Son + and of the Holy Spirit."

"Amen."

The coffin was brought out, as the friends, school mates, and family of Carter trailed behind. When they got to the selected grave, the people dressed in black surrounded the priest. The rain still was dumping, soaking everyone. But nobody made any signs of leaving.

They were all there to mourn.

The coffin was lowered, and Hayley burst into uncontrollable keening. She fell to her knees and held her face into her hands, unable to see anything anymore.

" Give him, o Lord, your peace and let your eternal + light shine upon him."

" Amen."

Every story is said to have a happy ending. That is not the case today. What you read now is utter and complete misery. And if you're sad, smile.

"Let us go in the peace of the Lord."
