Lily

I woke up, happy to start the day, but then I remembered something.

The funeral.

It's today.

I sadly sighed. It's been a week since Eliza died. Emma is just completely torn by it, and so are Dan and Phil. While they've been hanging out together, I've been sitting in my room, upset that I lost my best friend. I don't know how other people can get through something like this.

I was still deep in thought when I heard someone knock on the door.

"Lily?" Dan's voice asked. "Can I come in?"

I sighed. "Yeah."

He opened the door and crept in. "Are you okay?"

I wiped tears away that had crept out unknowingly. "Not really."

He smashed me into a bear hug. "Lily, you can always come to me about it."

I wrestled out of his grip. "I know."

"Are you sure that you can still do a part at the funeral?"

"Dan, I'll be fine."

He sighed. "Just checking. Now, get ready, alright?"

"Alright."

He left the room, closing the door behind him. I sighed as I stood up and walked over to my closet, pulling out a simple, strapless black dress Taylor got for me a few days ago. I slipped it on and went into the bathroom to brush my hair and put on some simple makeup. When I was done, I went downstairs, finding Dan and Phil in matching tuxes I totally forgot they had and Emma in a lacey black dress. Everyone seemed so sad, then Dan told a funny story from his childhood days, making everyone laugh.

I wish it wasn't forced.

When the time for the funeral rolled around, Taylor, some British friends of Dan and Phil, and surprisingly, some other YouTubers, including Jacksepticeye and Markiplier, had showed up at the house. Since it was time, we all piled into cars and went to the funeral location, where more people were. I went into a back room with Taylor to prepare what I was going to say. After several run-throughs, I didn't break down into tears.

"Are you sure you're ready?" Taylor asked.

I nodded. "Yeah."

"Good because it's time, anyways."

I sighed. "Let's do this."

We walked out and saw the funeral starting. I tried to slide into the back, but Taylor dragged me to the front where Dan, Phil, and Emma were sitting. When it was my turn to speak, I went up and began speaking.

"Eliza was a great friend and fangirl," I began. "We had known each other for ages, especially since we were in the same orphanage as roommates. We were both crazy fangirls, both of us shipping Phan when we watched that first video." Dan gave a fake glare, causing the YouTubers to burst out in laughter. "Anyways, we were both dorks together - wait, that came out wrong." Everyone laughed. "We were the loners of the orphanage. We were friendly to others, but not really friends with anyone, especially the bullies. It was mainly because we were both huge Phan shippers. We didn't care, though, because normalness leads to sadness.

"When Dan and Phil showed up at the orphanage, I happened to be wearing their merch. This probably added to the shock of their being there. When they adopted me, I was super excited, but also sad because I was about to leave my best friend. Nevertheless, Phil and Emma ended up adopting her, so we were together again - okay, how many sayings are gonna come out wrong?!" Everyone laughed again. "Anyways, I swear she was an even crazier fangirl when we were reunited, but then again, I'm a crazy fangirl, too. We were the very first Daylor shippers, anyways.

"Not long ago, we were both kidnapped. We found out that our kidnapper was the father of one of our orphanage bullies, who was one crazy chick. One morning, we found out she played with knives when we woke up to find her throwing knives at a target. She threw knives at us three times - one hit the wall, another hit Eliza's arm, and the other got Eliza in the stomach, ultimately killing her. I've been devastated, not wanting to come out of my room. I lost my best friend. God speed, Eliza."

I made an original hand gesture before walking back to my seat and collapsing into tears.

Time Skip

After the funeral, everyone came up and encouraged us and everything. I think my most interesting conversation was with Jack.

Jack: "Lily!"

Me: "Oh ... my ... god. You are actually talking to me."

Jack: "Of course! Why wouldn't I?"

Me: *screams* "THE JACKSEPTICEYE IS TALKING TO ME!!!" *screams again*

Jack: *laughs* "I'm just another person."

Me: "BOOPER DOOPER!"

Jack: *laughs again* "You are one interesting fangirl."

Me: *screams a third time* "I CAN'T EVEN RIGHT NOW!" *runs into another room to scream again*

Yeah, that happened.

I'm dead.
