My mother holds me up as i watch the casket get lowered into the ground, I don't shed a tear, not a single one.

It strikes me as I hear the rain hitting the umbrella Jeter is holding over I and my mother that it had also rained the day Ezra left me.

And now it's raining on the day he leaves me ultimately. 

My mother leads me to the edge as I throw my flower in, a single lotus, lotus are hard to come by but Jeter provided one as soon as I asked.

I step back, my body molding against my mom as I watch Ezra's fans, celebrities pay their final respect.

Ezra had made me the executor of his will, I made it a open funeral, he would want people to be around him as he leaves.

No need hiding stuff like it's a disgrace, people come and go.

My head is up through the proceedings, I'm the only family he registered, I'm the only family he had, he had been a foster baby.

When it's all done I get lead away from the casket to my car, the paparazzi is there and so is his manager and Ezra's lawyer.

"Miss Marx, we must talk" Ezra's lawyer says.

Jeter swiftly pulls me away from the line of fire, saying something about having a little respect for the dead and holding the freaking wolves at bay for at least a day.

I get into the car, Liang does too, getting into the drivers seat, Mila is at the passenger.

Jeter gets in with me.

I vaguely wonder where my mum is and when she passed me off to Jeter.

Jeter takes my hand, encasing it in mine, I continue to stare out the window, watching the rain hit the ground.

I vaguely have the thought that the sky must be as angry as I am, just one difference, they are pouring their anger out on humans, I have no one to be angry at.

No, wait, I do.

The car comes to a stop and I see that the rain has stopped, its still cloudy but the rain has stopped.

Good, I don't want Ezra to be in a watery grave.

I leave them all in the car and I step out, walking directly to my room, strategically disposing of any article of clothing I'm wearing.

I drop my bag by the door, pulling my heels and taking off my black gown, the one with the slit.

I couldn't find any else in my wardrobe, it was the only thing I had befitting the occasion, I couldn't hit the store.

This reminds me that Ezra has been dead for not long, not even up to an hour.

I stand, taking off my jewellery on barefeet, my body tired, lethargic.

A knock sounds on my door and I turn, not bothering to cover my self, they are standing there.

Liang, Mila and Jeter.

Mila steps into the room, grabbing a duvet and covering me up.

"We Will be downstairs if you need us" Liang says and I give no response, they leave, excluding Mila.

"Star.."

"Not now" I say my voice a broken whisper.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you.. I..

. Star please, I will die if you are angry at me" She says, her voice broken, if it was another time I would have made her mind at ease, tell her it's nothing but right now I'm not thinking, I'm too tired to think.

"Not now Mila" I say, looking into her eyes with dead eyes, she must have seen something because she nods, standing and exiting the room.

I'm not going to think.

I'm too angry to think.

I'm to tired to think.

To think of the fact that Ezzy is dead, to think of the fact that he battled cancer alone for five years, to think of the fact that he bacame a rock star with a dreaded sickness as his guide.

To think of the fact that I wrongly hated him, wrongly resented him, wrongly left him alone in this world.

To think of the fact that I was too weak to see what was right in front of me.

Finally, to think of the fact that the only person who could have saved him was too selfish to.

Yes, I'm too angry to think.

****

Liang.

I watch my sister's best friend walk down the stairs, biting her lip and wringing her hands.

I know that look, just as I know that star is not alright, I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Jeter is nursing the whisky I poured for him, mom and dad have decided to stay at Ezra's, help box up his stuff, since star won't be doing it.

I Mila walk towards the kitchen table and stop, tears finally spilling through.

I'm up.

"She hates me" She sobs, Star does not hate anybody, she's too pure to, she's just tired and unable to process what she's feeling right now.

I don't tell Mila this, deep down she knows it too.

"Come here" I say and she's in my arms, I turn to Jeter, he nods, understanding my unspoken thoughts.

He's going to hold down the fort and listen for Star, I'm going to take care of my girl.

I lift her into my arms and her hand goes around my neck, her face in my throat.

I take her directly to my room, setting her in the bed and pulling off her shoes.

I take off my clothes before lying in the bed, turning her around and spooning.

We stay like that for a while, processing our emotions.

"Li.."

"Go to sleep squid"

"But..., I'm a mess.. Aren't you disgusted?" Leave it to Mila to worry over something so trivial. 

"Not in the least squid" 

"But I'm a mess" She cries and I turn her around, lifting up on one hand, staring down at her. 

"When we eventually sleep together I want you to be a mess, because I made you so with my hands, mouth and body, not because you are crying over something else, are we clear?" I ask but she doesn't reply, she does after a while.

"We are going to sleep together?"

"Most definitely" I say, before leaning forward and switching off the light.
