“Charles, Stacy is dead,” I told him and started crying. He pulled me down onto his lap and I cried into his shoulder as he talked on the phone. I listened in on his conversation but I couldn’t hear the other line.
“When is it and when should we come at?” Charles asked.
I wiped my eyes and stood up. Why Stacy? She was the nicest girl I have ever met. She took me in that night and was like a mother to me. I couldn’t imagine losing my mother.
“See you then,” Charles said as he hung up the phone. He rubbed the back of his head and sighed.
“The funeral is in an hour. There will be a little after-party for her closest friends.” Charles told me.
I nodded my head and ran upstairs. Adrian was on the bed. I sat down next to him and he got on top of my lap. Stacy really is dead... I wonder how it happened. Lissa never told me how but she should of. I went into the closet of the ‘wonderful’ clothes Lilly and Charles got for me and found only one solid black dress. It had a design cut on the top of the back that looked cool. I put that on and a pair of black high heels. On my way out of the room, I gave Adrian a kiss on his little puppy head and put on my engagement ring. I walked out of the room playing with my hair and saw Charles standing there in his tux. He held out his arm and I took it. We walked outside and decided that Charles would put me on his back and run there. I jumped onto his back and we arrived at their house in seconds.
“Hey Lissa, Mason. I’m so sorry about Stacy.” I told them.
“It’s okay, we are about to start,” said Lissa in a sad gloomy mood. Charles and I sat down and listened to the ceremony.
Then Lissa went up and made her speech: “When I was 5 I was wandering the streets alone with nowhere to go. People would laugh and treat me like dirt when they saw me. But one day this kind lady came up to me asking ‘ you aren’t normal are you?’ and I told her ‘no’ and she knew what I was so she took me in. She raised me through elementary, middle, and high school. Even when I grew up I always thought of her as my mom. But now I’m losing my mom once again and it breaks my heart to a million pieces. We are losing a very caring person and she didn’t deserve to die this way.” Lissa walked away but not before laying flowers on the casket. The casket was a nice shade of brown with a beautiful design on it.
Mason was on stage and read his speech:
“When I was 16 and hanging out with friends one night, I started to grow fur in front of them not knowing what was happening to me. I grew into a big wolf there in front of them and they ran off calling me a freak. Stacy found me and said she was a wolf too and that she would help me out. When she took me in, there were a lot of other male wolves and only two other girl wolves including her. The other one was Lissa and she was good-looking at 14 and a half. I just wanted to hug her right then. Stacy was always there for me when I needed it.” he said and walked away. It was my turn and I was scared.
I unfolded the paper and began to read:
“A few weeks ago, I was in the woods crying until Lissa and Mason found me. They saw how upset I was and brought me to their home. Stacy kindly let me in and let me spend the night. She was a kind woman and even though she didn’t know me. She fed me and gave me a place to sleep and clothes. I didn’t know her for a long time nor did I live with her, but she was like a third mother to me since I basically have two right now. I don’t know how she died but she didn’t deserve to go this way. She deserved better, like to see the new wolves to come and to grow old and know that her life was completed instead of leaving it halfway.” I said and walked away. Everyone was crying while they slowly brought the casket down to the ground and filled in the hole. She’s gone forever and nothing can change that. I was so upset that I decided not to go to the after-party. Charles and I said bye and gave them our condolences. I told Lissa that I would see her the night before the wedding. We hugged and I returned to Charles. We walked home and I thought, ‘ hey come on get happy you’re getting married soon and you have your bachelorette party coming!’ I smiled on the way home and so did Charles.
