I was at the funeral for Maria and Augustine, with Temperance and Angela. The priest was welcoming everyone and beginning the ceremony in Spanish which was nice to hear.
'The end to another case always happens at this time.'
"This is nice of you, not many people would pay for a funeral like this." Angie told Temperance as she looked around.
"Where's Booth? He said he'd come." She admitted.
'Maybe I should have made the tip after the funeral... oh well.'

The funeral was nice, and came to a lovely end. Jose and his family approached us and I began to make the baby giggle with their permission.
"I will pay you back for this funeral." Jose told Temperance.
"Don't worry about it." She stated.
"It's my family, it's my duty."
"Aren't you leaving for El Salvador tonight?" Angie asked making him nod.
"Well, my child is an American. He's...he's not gonna grow up the way that Rosa and I did." He admitted causing Rosa to speak in Spanish. "She says that we're gonna bring him back."
"I understand. One way or another, your son will have a better life than you did." Temperance told.
"He is gonna make you both proud. I can tell." I told making them smile.
"Gracias." They both told before leaving as Seeley rushed towards us.
"Am I in trouble?" He asked
"Big time." I told.
"You're late for a funeral, of course you're in trouble." Angie added.
"Sorry." He told as Temperance gave him a dirty look. "I apologize, I...everything ok here?"
"Where were you?" She asked.
"I had something to do." He admitted.
"More important than a funeral?"
"I thought so at the time." He confessed before I clasped my hands together.
"I say, we get some food. Cause I am starving!" I told before we began to leave the cemetery together.
I looked towards Seeley and when he looked back to me as well, I gave a nod of understanding what happened and he gave one back as a thank you.

'Let's get this done with.'
"Introducing! The one, the only, Ashlyn Monroe!" The announcer exclaimed causing me to jump on the stage for the song.
"This one is a well known song of mine, so enjoy!" I exclaimed making the crowd cheer as I began to play the cords.

(Ash, all)

"This is for the lions living in the wiry, broke-down frames of my friends' bodies
When the floodwater comes, it ain't gonna be clear, it's gonna look like mud
But I will help you swim, I will help you swim, I'm gonna help you swim
This is for the snakes and the people they bite
For the friends I've made, for the sleepless nights
For the warning signs I've completely ignored
There's an amount to take, reasons to take more
It's no big surprise you turned out this way
When they closed their eyes and prayed you would change
And they cut your hair and sent you away
You stopped by my house the night you escaped
With tears in my eyes, I begged you to stay
You said, "Hey man, I love you, but no fucking way"

I'm sure that we could find something for you to do on stage
Maybe shake a tambourine, or when I sing, you sing harmonies

This is for the lake that me and my friends swim in
Naked and dumb on a drunken night
And it should've felt good, but I could hear the Jaws theme song
On repeat in the back of my mind
Make sure you kiss your knuckles before you punch me in the face
There are lessons to be learned
Consequences for all the stupid things I say
And it is no big surprise you turned out this way
The spark in your eyes, the look on your face, I will not be brave

I'm sure that we could find something for you to do on stage
Maybe shake a tambourine, or when I sing, you sing harmonies

I wanna contribute to the chaos
I don't wanna watch and then complain
'Cause I am through finding blame
That is a decision that I have made

She hopes I'm cursed forever
To sleep on a twin size mattress
In somebody's attic or basement my whole life
Never graduating up in size to add another
And my nightmares will have nightmares every night
Oh, every night, every night"

'I love doing stuff like this.'

Once I was done with the songs, I walked back to my seat with Angie and she gave me a hug.
"That was so good Ash!"
"Thanks Ange. I'm glad I can share this with you at least."
"Why not tell the others about this?"
"Well I don't want people knowing this about me due to the questions and not knowing who you can trust. Yes I trust them not to use me, but I grew up like this, it's not easy to break. Also Jack has a celebrity crush on me and that's a whole 'nother reason to why I don't say anything." I told making her chuckle.
"I think his brain would explode if he found out."
"True. Also, apparently they are gonna be building a theme park in Washington for the books. So fun!"
"And your just telling me this now?!"
"It was only finalised a few hours ago. And should still be happy, they don't plan to announce it till they are halfway through as to not make them excited and then they lose money to which it's canceled."
"Understandable."
"Really is."
'She's the best..... I'm kinda curious what Zack said to me while I was asleep though. Guess I'll never know.'
