... We All Fall Down

As they lowered her casket to the ground, her mom, in which I had so much respect for, was on her knees, and just staring at the coffin lower to the ground. No more tears, no more yells. Just numbness. Not a lot of people came to this funeral, which broke my heart, but then again.. She wasn't very sociable. The small crowd slowly left, then it was only me, Owen and her mom. Owen was just looking at the now pile of dirt and had his hands into a fist. I felt empty, I think we all did really. At least she will be with Emma, who's probably the cutest angel up there.
"Come on Owen. We have to go." I place my hand in his shoulder and he slowly nods.
"Okay." He walks up to the pile of dirt and places a little box. I wonder what that was. He grabs a handful of the dirt and pours it back. He goes on his knees and his shoulders start to bounce. Silently crying. I just kept my place and Genesis's mom walks up to him and places a hand on his head. He turns around and wipes his face, he stands up and gives the little box to her. He says something I couldn't really hear and she nods. They hug each other and he comes back my way. "Lets get out of here before I dig myself a hole and I lay with her." He grabs Dennis, who was in the car seat, and walks away. I turn around and see her mom hug the box like her life depended on it.
"Goodbye Genesis." I whispered and made my way to the car. I put my hand inside the diaper bag, and got hold of the gun. He needs to stop messing with me. Two can play a game.

"How?"
"Head shot."
"How's Owen?" "Numb. He only speaks the single word language. He hasn't eaten anything since we came back." "Poor little boy. How are you?"
"Same."
"I know. Did you see her mom?"
"I did... But I couldn't say anything to her. I would've cried..." "At least you were there."
"Of course. She was my first female best friend."
"I know babe."
"Now I don't have my maid of honor." I said kind of angry. "She's was going to be it."
"Ask your mom to be it."
"I might."
"Look.. Right now, forget the wedding. Owen needs you and I need you to distract yourself from her passing okay? Go out with the girls, Owen."
"We might go to the cliff today."
"Do that... Enjoy the fresh breeze." Owen taps my shoulder and points to the watch.
"Well.. I guess we are going. I'll call you later."
"Take care and love you."
"Love you too." Tony hangs up. "Let's go?" Owen nods and grabs Dennis from the couch. "Okay?"
"Okay." I nod and grab the stroller and diaper bag, I put Dennis in the stroller's seat and put on my shoes. I turned off the light and locked the doors. Owen grabs my hand, which shocked me, but I held his hand. He needed my support, and I was going to give it to him.
