//------------------------------// // Special Chapter: Aria's funeral (POV's) // Story: "You can live without me..." // by Sky Sunset shimmer //------------------------------// Adagio's POV I look myself at the mirror,I'm a total mess, there is one week Aria died, I didn't thought in one week me and Sonata could change so much. I'm not that girl always worried about make-up,clothes and my hair anymore. And Sonata is not that bubbly, happy girl anymore, her happiness was taken away with Aria. I haven't slept in days, and I don’t want to, the only time I slept since Aria's death, I had a terrible nightmare, someone keeping saying the word promise over and over again, that will not fool anyone was obviously me remembering myself I didn't kept my promise, but I deserve it. I'm also too worried about Sonata to sleep, she don't eats, don't gets out (luckily enough, her boss were understanding.),she doesn't sleep,she don't wants to talk with me, she just cries all day , all night long. I'm wearing an black dress with no stamps in it, I never thought I would get this out of my wardrobe for a funeral, I'm not wearing make-up, because I don't want to. Now I just need to call Sonata, for we go to say our last goodbyes to our sister. "Sonata,are you ready? Can we go?"I call her. She appears in the door, wearing a black dress also, but shorter than mine, she as pale as ever, her eyes are red from the crying from the last days. "I guess." She says with an soft sad voice. "Are you okay?" "Not very much, but I still want to say my last goodbye to Aria." "Are you sure?" "Yeah." "So, let's go." We walk quietly to my car, there's no reasons to talk, laugh or smile right now. When we arrive at the cemetery, our friends were already there, all of thwm were also wearing black, and had an sad face, I don't know if they are real or if they're just trying to support us. We all enter in the cemetery. The funeral speech already began,but I can't concentrate, my mind keeps on throwing memories in my head,I want to cry, but I can't. No,I can't. I have to stay strong for Sonata. The speech is over,now the guy is asking who wants to talk a little about Aria. I'm obviously the first. "Um...hi." I begin. "My name is Adagio Dazzle, and I'm Aria's older sister. Aria was a tough, strong and courageous girl, but she was also kind,and soft in her own way. She was a great friend, a great sister, a great person, she would always be by your side,and protect you, no matter what. But Aria had only one fear, I know that because one time when she were eleven, Aria had a nightmare, she walk all the way to my room,and told me: "hey, Adagio,egghead, can I stay here, I brought my mattress." I thought it was strange. And asked her why did she wanted to sleep with me,she said she had a nightmare,I asked what was the nightmare about, and I'll never forget what she said: "There was a bad man trying to attack you and Sonata,and I couldn't protect you too." Suprised by what she said, I asked why she wanted to protect us, and she said: "because you are my family. We cannot let each other down." Thanks for protecting us, and being by our side Aria,we'll never forget you." I look at my dead younger sister, her eyes once full of lifeare now closed, her hair always in pigtails were whole down,her dark pink face were so pale,that she were almost white,her mouth formed a peaceful smile,glad for stopped suffering. I got close to Aria's dead body and left her favorite star tabs on the coffin. " There's a gift for you,I know they are your favourite, goodbye Aria." After, various people talked, Rainbow Dash (her best friend of the Rainbooms.),Sunset Shimmer (her second best friend of The Rainbooms.),one guy that she was almost dating,all of our friends, her musician friends, and of course Sonata. When Sonata were saying goodbye to Aria, I saw she was crying very hard,she left an selfie of her and Aria. She started feeling dizzy after this, I immediately pratically carried her to my car,she slept. "Don't worry little sis',I'll not make the same mistake again."
