Chapter 13

Daniel POV:

Today is a gloomy day and it's pouring heavily. We have all these made men standing in the rain in their black suits and women in their black dresses getting rained on to mourn our lost men and most importantly my best friend

The priest has said his general speech about losing loved one's and now his calling me up to talk. Walking up toward the priest I realize that I haven't even prepared a speech. Everyone looks at me as I walk down the line of people. I should have stood in the front with the other friends and family but I just can't watch Xavier being lowered into the ground in a damn box.

Finally reaching the priest I thank him and I turn to the crowd. Well here goes nothing

"We lost good men this week. We will all miss them dearly but there was one guy here who is/ was my best friend. I met Xavier at a boy's Catholic school. I was 9 and he was 10. He was older than me by 5 days and yet he was the big brother" I chuckle remembering all the fights we used to have becau
