Kaylani P.O.V

Splashing cold water on my face sighing today is my mother's funeral they shot her in the head while she was at the gas station buying shacks for the road

I heard light knocks on the door "baby you're ready?" Alex asked through the door

Choking on my tears I answered" Yes give me a second"

Wiping my face I reapplied my make up opening the door we left me, Jamilia, Alex, dad, Shay, Kay, Mama T, and Rome
********
People passed saying 'sorry for your loss, it will get better over time and so on and so on I started getting irritated by people saying the same thing every second it wouldn't get better over time only worst because your need for that person is gonna increase over time

I bit my lip holding back my tears as I looked down on my mama she looked so peaceful her casket was her favorite color yellow before she died mama wrote down how her funeral should be like kissing my fingers I placed them down on her cheek

"I'm sorry mama I love you so much" I cried feeling arms circling me smelling a familiar fragrance turning around I cried into Alex's chest

"I want my mommy Alex" I cried maybe I sound like a child but I don't give fuck

"She's always in her heart"

I shooked my head crying harder Alex guided us outside sitting down on a nearby bench Alex continued to comfort me

"Lani? can I talk with you now please?" I heard Jamila's voice

Looking up Jamila stood there staring at me waiting during these past weeks Jamila had been taking it hard she even lost weight and Jamila already didn't have that much weight on her

I nodded Alex got up kissing my forehead going inside not before giving Jamilia a side rubbing her shoulder

Jamilia sat where Alex was looking spaced out "I miss mommy you know," Jamilia said

"Yeah me too"

We continued talking, and crying together before heading inside after the service was over we went to Dad's house for the eating I didn't go because I needed my bed more Kay and Alex said they going to be there for me except Shay she said something about diarrhea after her farting up the car I stopped listening.

Nobody should ever lose anyone to them

As the weeks processed I invested all my time in my salon which is opening tomorrow me and the gang were finishing the final touches need without them my shop would have been opening tomorrow no joke

After watching me leaving early in the morning and coming home late they decided to follow me yes follow me "Roll eyes" long story they cussed me and said I shouldn't keep things from them

I really need to start working on that

We completed the little touches here and there before going home
*******
Tomorrow came everybody was dressed downstairs waiting for me for as always grabbing my handbag and making my way downstairs everyone had an impatient expression on their faces kissing my teeth rolling eyes I told their asses to go on ahead without me but nooo they wanted to wait that's what they get

"What? I told you all to go"

"What's the point?" Shay asked

"I wish y'all didn't stay here with us" I mumbled not meaning shit I'm happy they staying

Everybody decided it was best to stay here with me since I've been walking zombie for the past couple of weeks.
