Chapter 4
**Brian's point of view**
I layed in bed, awake with Cordelia sleeping beside of me, I couldnt stop thinking about Jimmy. I didnt want to believe he was gone at such a young age. What killed him? all these questions kept comming to my mind.
"Brian..you can't sleep eaither?" Cordelia turned to me saying in a soft voice.
"No, I just can't stop thinking about Jimmy." I held her close to me.
"why'd he have to die...Jimmy was like a brother to me." Cordelia started to cry and trimmble in my arms.
"I don't know, but he's in a better place now" I kissed her forehead and reassured her he was okay.
"I know he's in a better place but i wish he didnt die, he means so much to all of us. I remeber when ever I was upset he'd always cheer me up. and now nothing will be the same." Cordelia was upset, and I started to cry to. Cordelia cried herself to sleep, and I fell asleep as well.
** The Day Of the funeral **
It was the day of The Funeral for Jimmy, Everone was thier Dressed in Black and some of the people were thier were crying. We all stood around as the Pastor was about to speak.
*Cordelia's point of View*
I held little Jay's hand, his family started to cry , I thought to myself that it was sad that Jimmy had to die so young. who thought that someone 28 years old could die so young and of Natural causes. It's impossible to belive he died of that. I looked down at Little Jay he started to cry, he knew that his uncle Jimmy was gone.
" Mommy..why did Uncle Jimmy have to go away.." Jay looked up at me, and noticed Everyone looking at us with tearful eyes, I then picked jay up and held him.
"Well sweetie..I...dont know.. but he's okay.." I began to explain, I started to cry, Brian then put his arm around me and kissed me softly.
**Matt's point of view**
I stood In front of my friends and Jimmy's family members, and pull out the piece of paper with my speech on it. which infact I was no good at giving speeches. I looked up at the group of people and started to speek the words written on the paper.
"The Rev was a good Friend and Brother to all of us and we will truly will miss him. But I can't believe he's gone; he was a very good person, he was caring and he'd always make you smile and laugh. I'll miss him, because he was a great drummer and a great friend. I'll never forget him.
I stoped and looked at Val and the rest of Morners, I steped down looking at the people crying. I could'nt help but feel all the sadness surrounding Rev's grave.
Everyone got up and said something about Rev. They lowered his coffin and barried him. All of us Went back to my place and talked and huged one another. we still can't believe he's gone..He ment alot to alot of people. Everyone left after acouple of hours. i got in bed with Val and stared off into space.
"Matt, I know Jimmy was our friend...but thing off it this way, he's in a better place now."Val laid next to me and rubed my back.
"I know, he was just to young to die yet. I mean Jimmy was only 28 years old." I looked at her and put my arm around her.
"Yeah, I agree. But now on new years it would be the same with out him." Val looked at me sadly.
"Yeah, lets go to bed..I'm tired."I laid my head on the pillow and turned out my light I cuddled next to val and fell asleep.
**After Revs death the guys decided to do something to dedicate something to Rev it was New years day almost Midnight. the guys were at Matt's house, and they all had beers, and watched the fireworks pop in the air.
**Val's point of view**
I sat on the couch next to Cordelia and Little Jacoby, All of us could celebrate or be happy. Our friend Jimmy"Rev" just passed away. The guys sat down and Matt sadly said.
"I wish Jimmy was here." He looked at his beer, and the guys agreed.
"I know, I wish that to dad." Cordelia looked down at her feet.
"Well me and the guys were thinking that since Jimmy died. were going to finish the album anddedicate it to him. so that he can live on though his music and though his fans.
"That's wonderful guys. I know Jimmy will be proud." Cordelia Smiled softly.
"Yeah were going on tour soon and were going to do our new songs. All our Fans will remeber him." Matt Said proudly.
"It's finally midnight." I said sitting by Brian.
"Well it may not be a happy new year But well spend this year remebering Jimmy, and celebrating his life. So Heres to Jimmy, may he rest in peace." We all held up our Drinks and toasted to him.
**Cordelia's point of view**
I remeber That new years day, I remeber Jimmy before he died..and I know he was happy and every now and then I look up at the night sky and see a big star shining, and I know that he's watching over us and I know he's in a good place with no pain or suffering. Jimmy was the best Drummer I knew and the most funniest person I know. And still it's so cold and empty without him here. i thought.
"Cordelia, watch you doing out here?" Brian walked over and put his arm around me.
"nothing just thinking about Jimmy." I looked at Brian and hugged him.
"I bet he's watching over us.."Brian smiled.
"Yeah He's the brightest star in the sky.."I smiled softly.
"Yeah, but we got to go, we have a concert to play soon." Brian held my hand and pulled me away.
"Okay, lets go." I said softly looking up once more at the stars and walked away knowing Jimmy will Rest in peace and watch over the ones he loves.
