#Chapter39

AMELIA POV

I take a few moments to just to look at him, to adore him. He smiles and nods at me, I don't know what he meant it but I couldn't help but smile back and sit back down in the back.

Xavier's mum, Annie, is giving a long and incredibly emotional eulogy for Eric, but I don't even hear it. Xavier and I are in, what seems like, a never ending staring competition.

I had seen him so many times but today I couldn't stop staring at him, drinking up every single one of his beautiful features. They way he looks at me, made me feel alive even at a funeral.

Annie's speech is cut when the church doors creak open again.

It's Xavier's dad.

Why is he so late, at his own son's funeral?

Even as he's walking into the church, he's saying goodbye to someone on the phone. Everyone is staring at him but it doesn't seem to phase him.
