Today five days after Ryan's death is the funeral. Nolan, Jessica, Dean, and Becky were attending, as well as Lucy, Ryan's little sister.

Everyone knew Ryan's family because they owned the only bakery, Little Sweets, which had the most delicious baked goods anyone has ever tasted. So most of the town was at the Johnes only son, and the oldest of the two siblings, funeral. Almost everyone except Deans family the Stains. You see Deans family had been trying to make sure that there only son dean was far from Ryan because the Stains had been trying to buy the Johnes bakery for years so they could build a restaurant on the plot of land.

The sad piano music was playing in the background of the silent room. As Ryan's closed casket was on display for the ongoing towns people to give there words to the poor boys dead body. As The Kimberly's walked in and gave there condolences to the families loss, more people slowly started to fill the once almost empty room, and chit chat started to buzz around the room.

Becky, Dean, Jessica, Nolan, and Lucy sat closest to the casket along with the rest of the Johnes family. Mrs. Johnes walked up to the podeium quietly crying to herself crying, she cleared her throught and shakily began to speak, "Thank you all for coming to my dear sons funeral, and to all of you that new him; including myself, I wish that we could of been there for him in his darkest times-" she started sniffling-" then maybe h-he would still be alive..." She finished. The tears in her eyes still there as she glanced at the closed casket in which her son laid, cold and lifeless, she broke down in sobs and moved a peace of her Brown hair out of her green eyes and made a beeline toward her chair next to her husband.

Lucy moved towards the podium no sign of any emotion on her face. Her black lace dress swaying slightly behind her, her red hair that was slightly curled bouncing as she walked dreadfully up. The towns sad eyes boring into the back of her head. As she finally made her way to the podium she began to speak. Anyone could tell something was about to happen, she along with her brothers friends knew something the rest of the town didn't. Lucy glanced at Becky seemingly asking for permission in Wich Becky gave a quick nod silently giving permission. Becky and Lucy were quiet close, they were so close that they thought of each other as sisters. Lucy looked up to Becky like a young child would look at a older sister. Lucy always wanted to be like her, Becky had good grades, friends, good looks, and was also good at sports and an amazing artist. But Lucy did not know that Becky wanted to be like Lucy she always wanted a sibling something that she didn't have. 

Lucy opened her mouth to speak, she had the closest bond with her brother, "My brother was never depressed, and he would never kill himself! Therefore he was murdered, and was pushed off the bridge into Rainy Creek!" She declared. Gasps and murmers quickly filled the once quiet room. Becky smiled. Jessica wipped her head back and looked at the crowd in shock of what Lucy said. The four teens got up and left the room following Lucy.

"Lucy! Why would you even think to say such a horrible thing! Do you see what you have done? You've scared the whole town!" Nolan shouted inraged that his best friends little sister suspected that Ryan was murdered. And worst of all a little bit of himself deep down believed it was true. But he quickly washed those thoughts away.

"Nolan! Calm down. You know Ryan would never have killed himself. He was far from ever going suicide if anything he was the nicest one of us!" Jessica yelled at Nolan.

Becky turned towards Lucy who was sitting emotionlessly on a brick by a dead rose bush. "Lucy if your right, which I suspect you are then why would anyone purposely drown your brother it makes no since." Becky stated.

"Your right. Why would anyone target Ryan?" Lucy said a single tear ran down from her pale green eyes and onto her pale freckled face.

"What if...the same person who killed Ryan also killed Aiden. But why? What could they of possibly done? If they targeted them what makes you think they wouldn't target one of us, an even more peculiar thing, why kill Ryan on the same day two years later from the death of Aiden?" Dean finally spoke up about the situation.

"Exactly" Becky said as she smiled at Dean, she gently ran her fingers through her hair as she did so. Causing a ghost of a smile to form on Deans on lips.

The group of young teens ended the conversation as the rest of the funerals quest started to leave. Unbeknownst to them a pair of gray eyed were watching there conversation intently. The group of 5 teens walked there separate ways home except for Nolan and Backy who lived next door to each other.

"Hey, Nolan why did you snap at Lucy like that?" Becky asked kindly glancing at Nolan to see his reaction to thw question. Yet he didn't seem bothered by the question.

"I just...hoped that she was wrong, because if she's right then there really is something or someone out there who murdered my brother..." Nolan answered sadly, blue eyes didrected at the ground. His dirty-blonde bangs hanging over his eyes to hopefully shield the tear rolling down his face from the girl listening intently next to him. Becky silently nodded. Nolan walked with Becky up to her porch, like he did every time they walked home together. Upon reaching said porch Becky turned around and hugged the silently crying boy in an attempt to comfort him.

"I hope you feel better. I'm sure everything's going to be better in the future." Becky whispered to the boy who hugged her back and finally let his tears fall free from thw cage that were his eyes. It pained Becky to see her friemda so badly hurt. Her only wish was for them to feel better. Ahe realised Nolan from rhe hug opening the door to her house at the corner of the neighborhood and walking inside. Her parents would be back shortly since the decided to stay with the Johnes for a little while longer.

Nolan looked at the door to his friends house a little longer, his blue eyes still watery, he silently thanked his friemd for the much needed comfort.
