* 1 week later*

Today was the day.

The day I say goodbye to Ethan and Grayson.

Physically I was prepared.

Mentally I was not.

I looked through my closet and had nothing to wear.

I decided on some Black Jeans, Grayson's Black Hoodie and Ethan's Black Beanie.

I left my hair down.

I put on my Black Sneakers.

I slowly walked back and forth around my room.

Reading through my Eulogy.

This is the toughest thing I have ever had to do.

I heard my name being called from downstairs.

I got my bag and headed down.

My Mom and Dad stood there... waiting.

"Are you ready to go?" they ask.

I nod my head.

Today, to this day it is a month since they passed away.

We got in my Dad's car and he drove to the cemetery.

* 20 minutes later *

We arrived at the cemetery.

We saw a lot of Ethan and Grayson's family and extremely close friends.

Before the service began Lisa talked to me.

"Erm, when they took the things from the car, they found this," she hands me a note and a small box.

She leaves for me to read it.

Dear bestie,

We have known each other since the day you moved. You are our girl next door. We wanted something of ours you can keep for many years to come. We decided we wanted to give you our rings. The ones we always wore when we were with you. Consider it an early birthday present. We love you XXX

From Ethan and Grayson Dolan XXX

I opened the box and there they were. The two rings. They were the same. One had an E engraved. The other had a G engraved. I placed them on my thumb and forefinger. The same way our lockers were.

I put the note and the box into my bag. I made my way inside the Church for the first part of the service. It was so thoughtful. Sean, Lisa, and Cameron gave their Eulogies inside. We made our way outside for the burials. Ethan and Grayson were side by side. I walked up to read my Eulogy.

"Hello, my name is y/n and I've known the twins since I first moved here at the start of Freshman year. I thought I would have no friends. I thought I would be that nerd who ate lunch alone, who sat on the bleachers, who participated in everything, who always volunteered. But I wasn't. I still got my good grades. That was because I had amazing friends to help me through it. Ethan and Grayson were like brothers to me. I will never forget them.

I will never forget their smiles, their laughs, their jokes or their goofiness. I will never forget all the amazing adventures we had. Skateboarding, Snowboarding, shopping, movies, Coachella... the beach. It didn't matter how we felt or what had happened... we always had the beach. Surfing, throwing each other into the water. But nothing beat just staying over at each others house. Having sleepovers. Eating Pineapple Pizza. Watching Netflix. Livestreams. Making videos. It is sometimes the simple things that are the best. Just talking and eating. I won't ever find any better movie buddies. I miss them so much. But I know they are watching over me. I'm going to make them proud... I promise," I place some white roses on each grave.

I go over to their parents and hug them. Then my Mom comes and hugs me. She tells me she's proud but I'm still struggling a lot.
