Chapter 12
'Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you
Brendon sat in the first row while everyone was talking about Dallon and how he'd have an easy journey to heaven. The music in the back wasn't helping. It was a mix of all his influences. The Beatles. Both Elvis's. Joe Jackson... And then there was something peculiar. A recording... Someone had taken a video of the time Brendon was singing for Dallon. And Dallon was smiling as he listened.
Brendon teared up as he remembered that day. The video ended after they kissed. Half of the people just gasped in shock, Brendon broke down... Loudly sobbing. He didn't listen to anything anyone said, until they called his name.
Dallon's brother was standing up there. "Brendon, you know how he was... He wanted you to give his eulogy... But he wanted it from the heart and not pre-planned." The boy sat down. Brendon walked up there, shaking. He stopped to look at his beautiful boy... And he wished his eyes would open. He got side tracked as he got closer to him and leaned over him to just look at him. He started speaking to him again, and someone cleared their throat... Making Brendon come back to reality. So he went up to the mic and wiped his eyes.
"There's so much I could say... About Dallon James Weekes. He had the biggest heart of anyone I know. He deeply cared so much about everyone and put other's needs before his. Though, he might not have been raised right, his smile never truly diminished- even now. Oh god, he was- is perfect... I had so many good times with him. Some people might say the only reason I became friends with him is because he's sick, but thats not true. I had always admired him but was too afraid to speak up. I spoke up too late. Really destiny made me. I honestly don't regret getting attached to him. He's so loveable and I hope everyone in here cherished their time with him. Its sad to say that the good ones always get taken away... It's devastating. But anyone would be lucky to have known him like I did." He was crying again, and had to stop to catch his breath. "I know I'm rambling because I don't know what I'm supposed to say... And I haven't even said everything that I can... There's so much about him. I could go on about our couple months together for the next billion years." He sighed shakily. "I think I'm gonna end it by playing my ringtone for you all... It's a song that Dallon's wrote and sang to me. It's called Cluster Hug."
Brendon's eulogy had most everyone in tears. As the song started playing, he moved over to the casket with Dallon. And after that song, another came on. Cancer by My Chemical Romance. And then after that... That one Elvis Costello song...
Brendon sung along with it softly as he looked at Dallon. He played with his fingers some. "Oh my baby baby I love you more than I can tell. I don't think I can live without you. And I know that I never will. Oh my baby baby I want you so it scares me to death. I can't say anymore than "I love you." Everything else is a waste of breath..." Brendon couldn't get through more than that. So he cried on him for the rest of the song.
"Dallon, I'll try to be strong okay? For you. I know you dont want me to be upset... But I fell in love with you and there's nothing left for me. But I'll stay here on earth and I'll reuinte with you when I can... It shouldn't be that long... I love you, and I'll never forget about you, my darling..." He kissed his cheek and put a piece of paper in his hand. It was a love song to him that he started writing but would never finish. He gave him like 6 more guitar picks and his secret favorite stuffed animal. He of course kissed him again, and then got dragged out of there as they closed his casket.
Eveeyone thought it would be best if Brendon didnt watch them lower the casket. So his mom took him home before it happened. Brendon, who wasn't religious, prayed almost every night. He knew his Dallon was an angel. Thats the only reason he prayed. He got sent to therapy because all he talked about for the next month was Dallon. He barely came out of his room either.
Dallon was right. When he died, it was like a bomb went off.
Dallon watched over him from heaven for many many years. He in fact never stopped.
It took Brendon over 20 years before he even dated again. He ended up marrying this lady named Sarah. But he made sure she knew one thing. He might've loved Sarah, but he wasn't in love with her. His heart was buried along with Dallon all those years ago. And Dallon was always there for him no matter what. And he was there to take his hand and walk him home when he died. They were an ultimate love story that not a lot of people get.
In heaven, they were back to how they looked in highschool before Dallon got sick. And they had their whole eternity together. They were given their second chance. This time they'd be happy. Together forever at last. Every single step on that journey was worth it to the both of them. They were married and remained healthy in love up in their heaven... And it was magical.
The End
