Chapter 4
This entire week has been hectic, with all the assignments and helping Nina to get over her break up.
The only thing good that came out this entire week was the email of acceptance from Saint Andrews Memorial Hospital to start my residency next week.I'm so happy I'll get to work with prestigious people like Dr. Young and the others. I can't wait to tell Derrick the news.
He is on his way to pick Nina and I up for Clara Greenwoods memorial service. We are both dressed in white top and shorts.
"Did you take your candle?"I ask Nina who busily fixing her makeup
"yes and even her book"she says and I smile.
After a couple of minutes Derrick arrives and we sat inside his car and left for central park.
As we got to the ground we could see people already gathering over there."wow.. this place is packed"says Nina and I nod in agreement.
"well sorry for you guys. I gotta join my parents. See ya"Derrick says with a smirk before we all got down from the car and he left us.
"arrhgh.. I sometimes want to just punch his ugly face"Nina mutters and I laugh
"hurry, let's find a good place to stand"I say and dragged her into the mist of people.
After surfing through the crowd we found a good support and we began chatting among ourselves, occasionally involving others.
"Hey I'm Addy, from Yale university"the girl we just begun chatting with says.
Wow she must really have loved Clara.
"I'm Sienna and she is Nina and we are from NYU" I replied
"oh great then, I just couldn't stay home and watch her memorial, she was a very dear person to me"she says with a sad tone.
"wait, you knew her?" Nina asked
"yes,my sister is the mother of Arson's daughter,Arya Cooper"she says and my jaw drops.
Well we all know Arson's has daughter with his ex girlfriend which Clara decided to adopt since she wasn't strong enough for pregnancy.
We also know about the baby in the lap waiting for a carrier, sadly Clara didn't live long enough to see her second daughter.
As we continue to chat we here the microphone glitch and everyone queit down.
We turn to see Arson on the stage holding baby Arya with Clara's mom and brother along with other close friends and relatives.
"Good evening everyone. thank you all for coming, I appreciate all your efforts to make my wife's memory and birthday a rememberable one. My wife would be so happy wherever she is seeing all of you here making her memories live long. Thank you all for coming once again"Arson's says while wiping his tears.
Clara's mom took over the microphone and read about her daughters life and things she wanted to do that she couldn't do.
After speaking for half an hour she asked us to light our kind and we did.
We raised our yellow balloons which had a picture of her smiling beautifully. I could see Arson sobbing profusely on the stage.
He couldn't handle this, I can't even imagine the pain he is going through right now, watching your other half leave the world.
The tune of her song begun to play as her brother took the microphone to begin the song.
Sunday mornings were your favorite
I used to meet you down on Woods Creek RoadYou did your hair up like you were famousEven though it's only church where we were goingNowSunday mornings, I just sleep inIt's like I buried my faith with youI'm screaming at a GodI don't know if I believe in'Cause I don't know what else I can doI'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and goneI don't wanna say goodbye'Cause this one means foreverNow you're in the starsAnd six-feet's never felt so farHere I am aloneBetween the heavens and the embersOh, it hurts so hardFor a million different reasonsYou took the best of my heartAnd left the rest in piecesDigging through your old birthday lettersA crumpled 20 stillIn the boxI don't think that ICould ever find a way to spend itEven if it's the last 20 that I've got, ohI'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and goneI don't wanna say goodbye'Cause this one means foreverNow you're in the starsAnd six-feet's never felt so farHere I am aloneBetween the heavens and the embersOh, it hurts so hardFor a million different reasonsYou took the best of my heartAnd left the rest in piecesI'm still holdin' (on)Holdin' (on)Holdin' onI'm still holdin' (on)Holdin' (on)Holdin' onI'm still holdin' (on)Holdin' (on)Still holdin' onI'm still, oohStill holdin' onI'm still holdin' on to everything that's dead and goneI don't wanna say goodbye'Cause this one means foreverNow you're in the starsAnd six-feet's never felt so farHere I am aloneBetween the heavens and the embersOh, it hurts so hardFor a million different reasonsYou took the best of my heartAnd left the rest in pieces.At end of the song we all let go of the balloons and watch them fly into the skies.
Most the people were in tears and some of us had tears in our eyes. I spot Derrick taking Arson's off the stage and I immediately pull Nina to their direction.
After some minutes of searching for them,I finally spot them standing beside a black SUV with Arson's sobbing on Derrick's shoulders.
"Hey Dee , what is wrong?"I asked even I knew why.
"he is just going through alot" he replies
We all didn't know what to do but wait for him to calm down.
God above please help him.
