*A week later*
Brian, Sabrina, Nick, Kevin, Howie, AJ and Justin had fly to Canada two days earlier for the funerals. They were now at the funeral home, ready to give their last farewell to Alicia. Brian was devastated. He looked like a ghost and he hadn't said a word since Alicia's death. Sabrina wasn't well either. She was having nightmares and couldn't accept the fact that her best friend was gone forever. Alicia's mom was holding onto Delilah like if it was her only way to survive the lost of her daughter. Alicia's little brother, Eric, was taking care of Ryan, who didn't realized yet what had happened.
Brian was sitting on a chair and next to him was Sabrina. "Why?" He said with a lot of sadness in his voice.
Sabrina shook her head. "I don't know Brian. I don't know why God would take someone like Alicia, so young and full of life. It's not fair."
"What am I going to do without her Sab? She was my whole life. I'm nothing without her. Do you understand? She was everything to me!"
"You're asking me if I understand? She was my best friend Brian! Always had been! Always there for me when I needed her. Always ready to listen when I needed to talk. Always encouraging me when I was down. Always pushing me to try my best. She was a wonderfull friend. The best one I'll ever have."
"It hurts so much. I never thought I could experience so much pain. I don't think I can survive this. I don't know if I want too. Nothing is worth living if she's not here with me."
"Don't say that! You've got to hang on Brian, she would of wanted us to move on with our lives and be happy. You know that. I know it's hard right now but we have to survive this. For her."
"I'm not sure I can without her in my arms."
At that moment, Ryan walked toward his father and took his hand. This magic touch woke up the father inside of Brian. "Daddy, why are you crying?"
Brian looked at the cute face of his son and put him on his lap. "Something happened to mommy Ryan. She went to live with the angels in heaven. God needed her with him. So now she will live inside you and Delilah. She will always be with us, as long as we keep her inside our hearts." Ryan put his head on his father's chest and tears scroll down his little cheeks. Brian took him in his arms and walked towards Alicia's mother. He took Delilah in his other arm and kissed both the baby and Ryan. He talked to her mother for awhile, trying to explain how much he loved Ali and told her that she could count on him to visit with the kids. Finally, he walked to Sabrina again and told her. "Sab, I have found my reason to live. It's going to be hard without her but Ryan and Delilah need me. I'm all they've got now. I will never forget her smile and the fire inside her." He walked outside with the babies in his arms and looked at the sky. "Good bye Ali. I love you and I always will."
