Stay With Me

Chapter 20

*Funeral*
Bruno's POV
My life is no longer the same without the love of my life. I find myself just going out to the bar, and drinking the night away. My blood is drowning in alcohol almost every night. Tiara and Tahiti watch over Isabella for me alot. I've found myself more depressed every single day.

Today's the day they will lower the love of my life down to the ground. I put on my tuxedo and placed my sunglasses on. I placed Isabella in her car seat, and buckled her up.

"You're the one keeping me from going crazy Bells. Without you I would be completely lost." I tell her.

She was asleep but atleast I was talking to someone.

We arrived at the cemetery. Many people were there. I sat on the white chair, that was set up for the family under the tent. They slowly lowered the casket down. As they did so, there were people playing the violin to the song See You Again. (Play Video) Tears rolled down my cheeks. I quickly wiped them away. They completely lowered it. I stood up and had a single red rose in my hand. Giving it a kiss, I dropped it down on the casket. I stayed looking down there for a while. I watched how the rose landed perfectly in the middle. Tears went down my face.

"Goodbye beautiful." I whispered.

I walked back to my seat, and just sat there. I watched as they began to shovel in the dirt. My eyes stayed glued at the rectangular shaped hole infront of me. My heart ached. It took me so much to not yell her name and fall onto my knees and cry.

"Bruno." I hear my name being called.

I turned around and see Arianna's parents, Marco and Isabelle.

"Hi." I hugged her mother and shook her dad's hand.

"I guess we will no longer see each other." Marco says.

"Ofcourse we will. Isabella needs to see her grandparents." I said.

He nods his head and trys to smile, but the pain of losing his only daughter was preventing him from doing so.

"How are you doing Bruno? You know. With all of this." Isabelle asked.

"I'm uhh... Well you know. I'm just trying to hang in there, that's all." I answered.

She placed both of her hands on my face.

"I know it's hard Peter. We just need to remember the good times we had with her." She tells me.

A tear rolls down my cheek.

"I know you loved Arianna so much. I know you still do. You can never forget your first love Bruno. She left you to many beautiful memories. Most importantly she also left you a daughter." Isabelle tells me.

"I'm sorry she didn't get the miracle she wanted." I tell them.

"Arianna did get her miracle Bruno. Her miracle was you." Marco tells me.

I wiped the tear down my face. I lightly smiled.

After I buckled Isabella back in her car seat, I drove back home. I walked into her room and took her out of the car seat, and sat on the rocking chair. She stayed looking at me.

"I promise to take care of you, and never let anything hurt you. I love you Bells." I tell her.

Her eyes were like her mother's. A beautiful green blueish. She smiled for the first time.

"You're so beautiful."

I kissed her nose.

"I promise Isabella Arianna Hernandez, that I will stop drinking. Drinking my life away isn't going to make anything better. Just worst."

She stayed looking at me, then yawned again. My baby girl was what's keeping me from going insane.

The night had finally ended, and Isabella was sleeping. I stepped outside and watched the stars. It looked like Arianna's star was shining brighter today then ever.

"I love you Arianna Marie Hernandez." I said to the star, just hoping she was speaking back to me.

A breeze of wind went through my body. Our love was like the wind. You couldn't see it, but you could feel it.

"Our love is forever, Arianna Marie. Always has been. Always will be."
