A week had gone by. Nobody spoke. Nobody laughed.

Manny slowly walked the way to his brother's room, the familier smell of rain and sandalwood made its way around him strangling him in nostalgia.  Manny wanted Anisah to walk through the door with a smiling Atlas who always seemed like he was in a a daze around her.

He sat beside the bed picking up a picture that was placed on the bed side table. A picture of all of them together at the beach. A silent sob broke through him, an orphan is what he felt like now.

The funeral was today.

Anisah and atlas would be buried together. The medical examiner found it difficult to unwrap Atlas's arms from around Anisah they would be buried beside eachother as lovers that shared little time together. 

"Manny are you ready" Zion walked through the bedroom followed by Bear, Noah, and Roman they all wore traditional black with a yellow rose, which was anisah's favourite colour.  They all sat beside him looking at the photo.

"Atlas wouldn't want you to feel sad neither would Anisah if she were here she'd yell at you for being sad" Bear gave Manny a hug which he gladly accepted. "We will have each other"

"I feel orphaned"

"Technically I'm your brother as well"

Manny looked up at Zion, and jumped into his arms weeping. "Please don't leave me, I miss them I miss them so much"

Zion wiped Mannyes tears with his handkerchief, held his younger brother's hand and walked out of the room towards the car. "We miss them too"

3 hours later

The funeral was held quietly, Only the guys attended. Anisahs family were told about her death but her mother simply replied with 'good' before hanging up the phone, Noah wanted nothing more than to slap her in the face. 

They all stood around the back garden of their house  everyone got some alone time with the pair. Manny wished for them to be buried at home that way everyone was still together. Roses were thrown down beside the caskets as they were lowered into the ground.  Rain began to pour around them signifying their passing.

Perhaps in the next life the ring that lay vacant in his brother's room would be on her finger instead.

The funeral speaker stood up straight, his voice confident and unwavering after all this was his job to him it was another day but to them it was gruelling and suffering.

"Two lovers lay to rest
Two lovers away at last

May the starts allign them once again
And may the world bless them forever till the end. "

Tell me readers have your tears stained your pillow yet.

THE END .
