Oh, Hi (COMPLETE Ashton Irwin fanfic)

Chapter 7 ||Funeral||

Ashton, Michael, Calum and Luke P.O.V

At the funeral Cass wore a black dress with her hair down and no makeup. She knew she'd cry. Cass made her way up to the podium to give her goodbye to her mum. She took a deep breath, you can tell she was holding back her tears.

There wasn't that many people. Some people from her mum's job, our families and of course us. Her speech went like this:

"Hi, I'm Cass. My mom, she struggled a lot. She got pregnant at an early age so having a job after dropping out of school was hard. I can't say she was happy on how things turned out. I wanted to surprise her that I got a job at a local diner but she'll never know now. The last couple of days that I saw her, she was staying late at work. Sometimes when she has a break she can spend a day sleeping. She looked tired everyday. Calum was the first person I met here. He probably misses her as much as I do. My friends who are here, along with their families, knew my mom. She lit up whenever she saw me bring home a friend. We laughed a lot and we had fun.  I love my mom and I always will. I won't forget her. *breaks down into tears* sorry."

She got off the podium and ran towards Calum's mum. She hugged her tightly, we could hear what Calum's mum told Cass. "Don't worry love, we'll always be here." She smiled with tears running down her face. Cass hugged Calum, who already busted out crying. She hugged the rest of us.

Ashton drove all of us to Cass' home. She sits down. We all look into her eyes, they're red from all the crying, the skin around her eyes looks irritated. Her nose is a shade of pink and red from the tissues rubbing on her skin. We try everything to make her feel better until she says "Can you guys stay with me for the night? I feel a little sick." Michael says "Of course, anything. We're here for you." She smiled which made us happy.

Ashton ordered a pizza, Luke bought Cass a stuffed animal penguin (that's her favorite animal) and Michael had gotten her candies. Calum went to a movie rental and rented some funny movies. We spent the night eating and laughing. Cass felt better. She wasn't faking the smiles nor laughs. Cass changed into her pijamas and we asked our mum's if they could bring ours. Once we changed we continued on hanging out and having fun.  Cass went to the bathroom and we talked about how tired she was.

Cass P.O.V

The boys brought some things that made me feel better but I was depressed. I laughed and thought of my mom. I went to my bathroom. The blade was near the sink.

My thoughts told me to cut, they said it was my fault my mom died. I listened for some reason. I grabbed the blade took off my pj pants and underwear while locking the door. I got in the shower and the blade was on my thigh. It hurt but I felt like I deserved it. I have five fresh cuts, all of which won't stop bleeding. I poured some water on it. Didn't help. I found rubbing alcohol in the cabinet. I poured some of the liquid on a rag and placed that on my cuts. It burned.

I was in there a few minutes. I walked down the stairs and the boys ask if I was alright. "Yeah, I just feel a little sick but I'm fine." I lied. Ashton opened his arms for a hug. I hugged him and continued watching the movie. I fell asleep and the boys fell asleep soon after.
