The Funeral for More Than Liam's Mother

At the funeral in Liam’s POV

I stood in front of my mom’s casket in silence. Grandmom wasn’t too far away. At this thought I shook my head; my grandmother outlived my mom. “This is not the way things should be.” I didn’t realize that I spoke this aloud until Addy came up behind me and placed her head on my shoulder, “You knew this was going to happen eventually Liam.”

“Yes but not this fast.” I sped-walked away from my dead mother and Addy, taking a seat in another room. I heard Addy’s heels as she followed me. “Liam,” She took a hold of my hand, “What has happened to your mom is terrible but you-”

“Please Addy. All I want right now…that is possible to get…is to be left alone.”

“What to you find impossible to get?”

I didn’t answer her at first, feeling the tears reach my eyes, “Liam?”

“I want my goddamn mother back okay?!” I yelled at her, making her jump back in fear; I rarely ever yelled, especially at her.

“I-I’m sorry Liam.” Addy then ran off, her sobs heard by all.
