Chapter 27

At the funeral*

When I walked into the funeral home I saw all of his friends and it completely shattered my heart, I slowly walked over to his best friend Aidan and I hugged him and said " he's in a better place" aiden nodded and said " I'm sorry for your loss marlena you lost so much more" during the funeral Chris and Collin were with Dylan and scarlet and Lizzie were watching me from the other side of the room. I went up to his casket and just looked down at him and said " it wasn't supposed to end this way my love.." when it came time for a speech I gave it " when I met Alec the one thing that drove me to him right away was his love for me, he would drive hours just to find the right place to have lunch or when I was moody and needed coffee he would drive all the way to a shop just to get me one. Or when my sleepless nights took over me  he would be their. What I'm trying to say is he deserves so much more and now he won't even get to see his child grow up and I will always hate the person who did this for that thank you and may he rest in piece" by the end of that I was in tears sobbing and then we all were driving to lizzies house since she and Robbie didn't wanna leave me alone which I understand so when we got to the house I asked Lizzie if I could go take a nap because I was physically and emotionally exhausted and she said of  course and helped me up the stairs and into the room and she closed the door and then I went into Instagram and saw the paparazzi post the picture they took of me and captioned it " marlena rose was seen driving to a funeral home is her lover man dead or is this something else?" I was angry and sad and exhausted so I just sobbed the pillow case was wet with my tears until I finally fell asleep holding my phone with a photo of Alec in it
