"Really Carly? Another story? YOU MUST HAVE NO LIFE!!!"
I think yes!
----------------
You could hear the rain on the hood of the car as we drove to the funeral. I could feel the aura around us getting darker as we sat quietly in the back of the car. It was me and his best friend, how odd right? Me, the girlfriend, and him, the best friend. Now we weren't together, and we wouldn't get together, the loss was too much. This was all for Matt, whose coffin was in the carriage behind us. I took a deep breath as the car slowed, my fingers squeezing the foam seats enough to make a hole. My nuckles were probably white. Kodi (the best friend) must have noticed as I felt his hand touch my arm,
"We're here..." he whispered into my ear as he left the car. He pulled out his black umbrella, I watched carefully as he stuck his hand out to pull me out of the black car. I stuck my hand out, carefully taking his and getting out to the underneath of his umbrella. We took careful steps, my black strappy heals making quiet clicking sounds on the wet concrete. I heard a car drive by and froze slightly. It sounded like the exact hum of the other car...the car that killed Matt.
We were all laughing in the car, Matt in the front seat, hands on the wheel, Kodi next to him, and me behind Kodi. We were laughing at some idiots who were running across the street in banana suits, the memory still made me laugh. I poked Matt's shoulder as if in a secret language saying I needed him. He peered back and I mouthed a quiet, "I love you..." he smirked, now his full attention on me as he murmered back,
"I love you too..." I smiled in satisfaction, now looking out the window. There was nothing there except for the rainy sidewalks and roads. No cars no anything. But there was one loud honk. I twisted my head to the front of the car, now a scream errupting from my throat. Next thing I know, we were spinning, my body slammed up to the seat in front of mine, Matts. I could feel the sharp impact as another truck hit us. We were now in the side of a ditch, our car smoking. I could smell the smoke. Opening my eyes, I clenched my now hurting hands to look around. There was glass everywhere, and Kodi was looking around as if what the hell had just happened had killed someone. I heard a mans voice in the distance
"I'm calling the ambulance, just stay seated..." his car wasn't hit, he was blocking off all of the traffic. A few other cars stopped to helped us, I could hear Kodi's frantic breathing and mine fill the car. I took a sharp intake of oxygen, noticing that the car had crushed the front seat, and the man in it, Matt. His head was crushed up against the seat, blood trickling down his face, just like mine and Kodi's from where the windshield had broken. His body looked broken, his hands at his side where his legs were hidden underneath all the broken pieces of glass. I felt tears streak down my face as I climbed into the front seat, my hands frantically searching Matts body. Kodi was now climbing out of the car, his hands on his head as he went to stumble in front of the car. There was barely a pulse in Matts throat and wrist. His breath was sharp and his eyes were closed.
"MATT!" I screamed helplessly, I felt a man from the ambulance tug on my hand and pull me out of the car. They were having trouble as I fussed, "NO!" I shouted, pointing to him as if saying help him right now. I felt my voice dying as my body screamed at me to stop squirming and let the man help me in my time of need.
But Matt was dying, how could I just leave him in the car while they carried me and Kodi off. I could see doctors rush over to the car, now attempting to take out Matt, which they did successfully, but his body was limp and pale, which made me scream, "MATT NO!" I reached out from the mans arms and screamed, Matts eyes were barely open, but have gave him a reassuring smile that he was okay. It was faint, but it was a sign. This only made me want to run over to him and collapse in his arms. I loved him...
And that was the end of it, that was exactly how Matt died. I could feel tears well up in my eyes as they ran down my scratched face. Kodi was there though, he was probably the more hurt one of us two, his face was scratched and his arm was in bandages from all the glass that had gone into it. My bare shoulder had a few bandages but none of them nearly as serious as Kodi's. I felt horrible, this was my fault, I just had to say I love you didn't I? I cursed myself mentally, letting tears run freely now. They dripped onto my black sundress that had spaghetti straps and ended above the knee.
I was in all black, a single red rose in my hand. It was a dead red rose, but it was something Matt gave to me a long time ago, and I had to keep it. I could hear people panicing to get into their seats, but mine and Kodi's were reserved in the front, so there was no rush. My frail fingers shook as I neared the funeral, it was an open casket ceremony. Matt always wanted one, he always said that when ever he died, he wanted an open casket ceremony in the rain.
I hated the rain, despised it, but Matt just adored it. And I adored Matt. It was sad how he had that power over me, and how he made me want to love something I never could, but he's known for doing that. I glared at the wet streets, today it shouldn't be raining, matt didn't deserve it. As we neared our seats, I felt Kodi's arms slip around my waist, I was too befuddled to even think of it.
There was Matt, all fixed up, eyes closed peaceful. His arms her placed gently over his chest, holding a full and alive rose. I whispered his name, tears streaming freely now. I turned quickly, attempting to hide from the cold dead body in the out and open. As I turned, I realized I had turned into Kodi's chest. But his arms wrapped me in a protective hug, and soon enough I was crying into his arms, this was the first time it had happened...
Somehow I feel like it's going to happen a lot more often...

Sad? Yeah... another rainy day here on... MArs? xD
