Chapter 9: I Love You Jays A week later... After Jays died, Rosalina never left her room. She cried all day and all night. Normally, when she was upset like this, shed just have to look out her window and Jays was there to talk to. But, now, he wasn't there anymore. The Johnsons decided to move closer to their other family in Connecticut. Grandpa and Grandma closed down their diner and moved too. Luke was torn up and Rosalina gave him her phone number to call her whenever he wanted. She promised him that she'd visit all the time and that he had to remember that his brother loved him and is gonna look over him up in heaven. Ace came over everyday so they could cry and be depressed together. Kristina came over almost everyday too but all Rosalina would do was cry so Kristina would hug her for literally hours. The boys all came by a few times as well, with the exception of Nat, who didnt know where he stood with her, to try to make her feel better by telling lame jokes or doing something stupid. Rosalina went to rehearsal the day after but couldnt even make it through the first song without thinking about Jays. The one person who could make her feel better wasnt here anymore and she couldnt handle that. "Rosalina, ready to go?" Ace yelled from the street. They were driving to the funeral together. "Yeah, I'm coming." She went downstairs and hopped in his car. "You can do this right? You know, make it through this?" He asked as they sped to the graveyard. They were only having a small ceremony for close family and friends at the burial. The band was also coming too. "I hope so." She sighed. "But, as soon as I see Luke's face, I'm not gonna be able to handle it." "Just be strong, thats what he would have wanted." Ace said. He parked his car and they walked to where the Johnsons were already standing. They hugged all the family and they both kissed Luke's forehead. The band arrived a few minutes later except for Nat. Rosalina was disappointed he hadn't come. She hugged Kristina and all her boys and then the ceremony started. "We are gathered here today to say good bye to our newly departed friend, Jackson Jamie Johnson. I've known Jackson since he was a little boy and he was the most polite, most sincere person you will ever meet. He cared deeply about his parents, grandparents, and younger brother. Jackson had a bright future. He was to graduate in May from Amigos high with top honors. He was going to attend NYU in the fall majoring in special education and be the starting goalie for their hockey team. His parents would like his two best friends, Rosalina Tai and Anthony Jensen, to speak on their behalf." The pastor said in a calm voice. "Umm, well, I met Jays in 2nd grade and he was the coolest kid ever to me. He was the best friend I could have ever asked for. We never got in a fight the 10 years we were friends and he didn't deserve for his life to be cut short like this. He was an amazing person and he was the brother I never had. And the best thing about him was that he loved this girl right here." Ace said, putting his arm around Rosalina. A few tears fell from his eyes. "He cared about her more than his life itself. He lived to make her happy and that was what I admired the most about him. I love you man." "Uh, well, I met Jays when I moved here when I was 4. He asked me if he could push me on his swing set and I said yes. Jays always told me that I was perfect to him but really, he couldn't be more wrong. He has all the qualities of a perfect boy to me. He was there for me at any time of the day and he always knew how to put a smile on my face. Just a few hours before he died, Jays asked me if when were 30 and neither of us are married, if I would marry him. I agreed automatically. But I secretly hoped that he would find someone way better than me because he deserved that perfect girl. I'm about to start crying so I really shouldn't say much more but Jays changed my life in so many ways it's not even real. The last thing Jays ever said to me was I love you RT. And, I'Il never realized how big of a deal saying I love you is until the person you really love is gone. So, I love you Jays and you will be in my thoughts forever." Rosalina started to cry after finishing her speech. Ace pulled her into a tight hug and Kristina grabbed her hand for support. They placed the casket in the grave and the workers began to cover it up. The band gave their best wishes to the family. "Hey, you call me later okay?" Kristina told Rosalina before they left. "I will, I promise." Rosalina said, tears still in her eyes. Kristina noticed and pulled her into a hug. "I love you hun." She whispered. "Be strong, for Jays." "I'll try." Rosalina said. She hugged the rest of the guys and thanked them for coming. The band walked back up the small hill towards where Thomas parked him moms mini van. I had to divided up this chapter cause it was soo long ahah.
