#Chapter6

It’s not goodbye, but see you later

Maggie

I sat in the funeral home, staring at the casket. Nash looked peaceful. The family gave me time alone with him. I glanced around the room at the empty chairs. It reminded me of when I grew up. My parents left me alone in an empty house besides my many babysitters. I never assumed I would have people who loved me. All I wanted was a family.

I sat there and sighed. Then someone sat down next to me. I glanced to my left to see Nixon. We glimpsed at each other as Nathan, Noah, and Nolan joined us.

/"It’s not fair./" Nixon stared at the casket. /"Nash was my best friend and brother./"

/"Nash was our best friend and brother, too. How do you say goodbye to someone like that?/" Nathan asked.

/"You don’t,/" Noah said.

We glanced at Noah.

/"You say see you later. It’s never goodbye, but see you later./"

/"Nix, will you perform Nash’s memorial service?/" Nolan asked.
