*The night before*

"Sean!" Aricka protests, as Jack mercilessly tickles her. "No fair!" she was gasping for air as he let her go. Checking her phone, she stood up. "Dad's waiting outside for me." they walk out, and before she climbs into the passenger seat, Jack claimed a kiss. "I love you," she murmurs.

"I love you too," he answers, and shuts the door, watching them pull away. "More than you'll ever know."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nothing prepared the Sanders household for what would happen that morning.

Aricka woke up, and checked her phone as normal:

Text from: Mama Mcloughlin:

Aricka, Sean was in an accident last night-he didn't make it. Will you come to the visitation this afternoon?

A haunted scream tore its way through Aricka's throat and out of her mouth, "SEAN!" she cries, sending Roman and Virgil running. She'd dropped her phone, and fell to the ground crying. "No, no, no!" she whispered over and over. Virgil runs to Aricka, and hugs her, while Roman looks at her phone. "OH NO SEAN!" she suddenly screams. "No!" that brought the other four in.

"What-?" Patton asks. Roman pushes them out and shows them the text, making Patton and Damien cry, and Thomas and Logan gasp. They look in and see Aricka crying and Virgil holding her, tears falling down his own face.

"No, not Sean. Not Sean." they could hear her whisper. "Please, not my Sean." Virgil rocked her gently, trying to calm her down. He gives Roman a helpless look.

What were they going to do?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Aricka was numb. Mama Mcloughlin held her for a few minutes, then led her over to the coffin where Jack was. A strangled cry left her, and she grabbed Jack's hands. "Jack, open your eyes," she whispers. "Jack, c'mon, baby. Don't do this. Jack!" His hand was cold and lifeless. "Sean, baby. C'mon. Don't-I need you!"

*time skip*

"Aricka, Sean's girlfriend, graciously agreed to sing a song for this tragic occasion."

Aricka walks up to the podium. "I'll-uh-be singing mine and Jack's song." the music starts:

"Your eyes, your smile, I can't read, what they're telling me

One time, is all that I need (yeah, yeah)

Don't hide behind, those looks, that you're giving me

Who knows where this might lead?

Oh, oh, oh, oh

So come a little bit, come a little bit closer

Oh, oh, oh, oh

I wanna get to know you better

You can tell me all your secrets

Don't hide them from me

Yeah, yeah

I wanna get to know you better

I'm there for you whenever

You wanna get to know me?..." then she started to cry again. She couldn't finish-could she?

Suddenly someone takes her hand and starts singing with her. It was-Virgil?

"Cause' I'm cool with that

Who makes first move?

Half way, is where I'll meet you

Your right, is where I wanna be

Yeah

I get, that your scared

Don't be, 'cause girl your beautiful

I wanna know your whole story, yeah oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

So come a little bit, come a little bit closer

Oh, oh, oh, oh
