Say You're okay, I'm Afraid that Tomorrow is Just Too Far Away (An Austin Carlile Love story)

It was raining.
Mom would've said it was the angels crying at the loss of a loved one. It didn't make sense to me, why would they be crying if the person would go up to heaven to be with them? I shook my head, holding my brother -then twelve- up by his shoulders as he sobbed. His guy-liner streaked his cheeks, he had only just gotten into his whole "Scene" thing like I had. My parents didn't go all out on the "Its only a phase" like they had with me. I mean- look how I turned out.

I watched as the casket was lowered into the ground, the priest was mumbling things I couldn't hear. I watched as a tattoo covered body made its way up the hill, standing across from my brother and I.
Austin...
I walked up to the hole in the ground with my brother, taking the shovel beside me and threw dirt onto the shiny, polished casket that held my parents.

And when you die the only kingdom you'll see, is two foot wide and six foot deep. I recited silently as I handed my brother the shovel and placed a hand on his shoulder, he took a scoop and threw the dirt into the hole as I did before him. The shovel was passed around the innermost crowd, circling the hole at least twice. I felt Austin's eyes on me the entire time. I took Charlie's hand and we walked back through the crowd to my car. I saw Austin follow me back to my car as well, I sat Charlie in the passenger seat and looked my best friend in the eyes. My light brown eyes -the iris' rimmed with dark brown- stared into his.
He began to speak but I shook my head and sighed "Please dont tell me the crap everyone else is telling me." I pushed him away from me, "I just need to take care of Charlie, Okay? Please, I'll just call you when I'm ready." I said to him and pulled my dress down to sit down in the car. "Bye Austin." I mumbled and shut the door, not quickly enough to stop the word: "Claudia" come from his beautiful mouth.
I bit my lip and started the car, backing out of the cemetery parking lot and rounded the grounds once to see the crane filling the grave with dirt. The universe's horrible way of reminding me that they were gone.
