Tristan's POV

I was trying to do my black tie when Connor walks in, head down and his hands in his pockets. He saw me struggling and walks over, doing my tie for me.

"Connor?" I ask, he looks up with tears brimming in his blue eyes as I pull him into a hug.

"I... I can't breathe. I'm lost without her." he sobs and I release him, patting him on the back lightly.

"Tristan, Connor. We need to go." we hear a voice behind us and we look to find Macy and Hunter patiently waiting at the door.

We nod as the four of us get out of my flat and off to the funeral hall where we would do our speeches about our time with her before we go to the cemetery and bury her.

*skip to the speech part*

Macy decided to go up first as she was desperate to say sorry to Lorna for what happened.

"Um... Well as some of you know, me and Lorna had a very enjoyable childhood, being best friends. And while we were growing up, we stayed the same until... you know what happened. Lorna was diagnosed with dystychiphobia. As a friend, I should of supported her but instead... I turned against her. I took her phobia as some joke and bullied her for it. I know that I put her too far and I wanted to say that... I am soo soo sorry for every horrible thing that I have done. You didn't deserve it at all, and may you rest in peace. I love you."

We all nod as she places a small kiss on the coffin as Hunter went up to say his speech. She comes back to sit, tears streaming down her face.

"Well me and Lorna weren't as close as Connor, Tristan and Macy were but I regret every thing I did to her that hurt her. I guess I was just sour and bitter over our break-up. She was only an innocent girl with a horrible fear and I took advantage of her. I'm sorry Lorna and I know you can't forgive me but heaven has been blessed with a wonderful woman. Rest in peace." he cries, kissing three fingers and touching the tombstone.

He comes to sit down, Macy placing her head on his shoulder and his arm goes around her.

"Connor?" I say and he looks up before nodding and going up, a sad smile on his face.

"Well... Um... I didn't really prepare a speech as I wanted to do something else but here. Lorna Taylor was a very special girl in my life even though I knew her for a while. And I want to thank for her for all the love and care she's given me and heaven is fucking lucky cause they have an angel with them. But this song is dedicated to her, as it was her favourite. I love you soo much Lorna."

He sighs, before grabbing his guitar and playing the familiar chords of Open Season by High Highs.

"Get on your knees,
And I thought you can leave it all in your mind it is,
All in your mind it is..." he sang, as everyone kept silent.

Connor nods as everyone applause him and he comes to sit down, next to me. It's finally my turn to go up. I clear my throat as I go up.

"Um, the first time that me and Lorna met was at the tutoring class. Something about her... just made me want to find out who she was. She was a very quiet person but she was full of wonder. Everything with her was like an adventure. Until I found out her phobia. She was soo scared when the doctor told me, like I was going to leave her. But of course I wouldn't, she was my best friend. And now she's gone and... I feel incomplete. But hopefully, I'll see her again and she will always remind a piece in my heart. I love you Lorna Taylor and rest in peace, my little redheaded angel." I cry as a slideshow with pictures of Lorna appear on the screen, Afire Love playing in the background.

"Tris, you ready?" Hunter asks and I nod, walking towards the tombstone and lifting it up along with Hunter, Connor and our maths teacher.

*skip to the end of the funeral*

"Um Tristan? I found this when I was going through Lorna things... Its a letter that she wrote. I haven't opened it... but I thought you would want to read it." Macy says, passing me a white envelope.

"Did you get one as well?"

"Yeah I did, so did Connor and Hunter. She offered us her things... I got out favorite childhood storybook that she had."

I nod as she walks off, cuddling onto the book. It must of meant a lot to her, to both of them. Bless her.

I rip open the top of the envelope, revealing a blue folded piece of paper. I open it to find a handwritten letter by Lorna, like Macy said.

Dear Tristan,

By the time you're reading this, I'm probably dead. But anyway, I just wanted to say a few things before you go off and live your happy life without me :)

But I just wanted to say thank you. To be honest, when you first came into that tutoring room... you would turn against me and join Macy and Hunter. But you became friends with me and I was confused. Like was it a sort of prank or was he feeling sorry for me. But I realised you actually were trying to be my friend.

So thank you for always being there... especially when I had no one. And look after Connor please. And find him someone that will love him and care for him. He deserves someone like that.

Your gift is at my house. Go up to my room and open the first draw in my cabinet near my bed and find a brown box. Open it and your gift is there.

Just remember, its a bit weird but it means a lot if you keep it.

Your little redhead, Lorna x

I instantly run out of the hall and hop into my car, driving over to Lorna's house.

*skip to her bedroom*

"Connor? What are you doing here?" I ask as I find Connor in her room, photos of her scattered on the floor.

"She gave me a empty photo album to fill memories with... so I'm putting photos of her inside." he mumbles, sniffling as he continues to reorganise them.

I nod as I go over to the chest of drawers near of the bed and open the draw to find the box that she was talking about. I open to find a concert ticket for The Script?

I also find a small note that's tucked in the side. I open it to find a small letter... again.

Sorry about these letters by the way :/ but remember when we listened to this band in class? And then we visited to Bournemouth for the day and I went to my first ever concert? I saved it because it was the first moment when I could finally connect with someone.

So you can keep this if you want... Because it meant a lot to me... So thanks :)

Love Lorna x

Wiping the tears that has fallen on my cheeks, I chuckled lightly as I looked over to my friend, who was slotting photos of the redhead in the book. She had a great impact on all of us. It can't end there.

"Connor. Let's find a new Lorna."
