Chapter 20 - CHAPTER TWENTY

O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, bless this grave, and send your hold Angel to watch over it. As we bury here the body of our sister, deliver her soul from every Bond of sin, that she may rejoice in you with your saints forever. We ask this through Christ our Lord. The priest said as everyone shouted Amen. Forgive whatever sins she committed through human weakness and in your goodness grant her eternal rest. He said as they laid the coffin down.

"Sam look over there". Ruby said as they all turned to see Naomi standing far away. What do you want me to do? Samantha asked. This grandma Nina's funeral. You don't think she would be happy that we left Naomi out. Ruby tried to reason. So what? It's not like Sam told her to stay there. She just loves the attention. Sarah said. I didn't ask her to stay there. Attention seeker. Sam said. Sam let's be happy and try to make amends just for Nina's sake. Klaus said as Sarah nudged him. Babe. She cried out. You know what I'm saying is true. He continued then turned to Sarah. Babe, for Nina's sake. He said to her as she rolled her eyes and turned her back on him pouting. Miss Anderson. The lawyer called. Frank, good day. Any problem? Sam asked as they all turned to him. Not really. Nina asked me to relay a message to you and your friends. He said. Well Frank we're all here. Why don't we go somewhere quiet and then you can relay the message to us. Samantha said as Frank smiled. Miss Anderson she said all your friends. I can't see miss whitmoore anywhere. He said as Samantha glared at him. That's not a problem. I'll go get her for you. Ruby said running off.

************************************Naomi stood where she was feeling sad. She didn't get the chance to see Grandma Nina when they laid her to the ground. She was still in her thoughts when Ruby came over. Frank called all of us over as per Nina's wish. She said as she left. At least someone came to talk to me. She was expecting they would come and talk to her but what she was expecting didn't happen. Her friends were really mad at her. She breathed out as she walked over to where they were seated. Sam and Sarah didn't even spare her a glance. Luke just gave her a smile, Klaus nodded at her direction while Ruby gestured for her to sit down. Good day to you miss whitmoore. Frank greeted. Good day to you Frank. How is everything going with you? She asked. All is well. He replied as he stared at all of them and opened his file in front of him. Let's go straight to the point. He said joining his hands together. To be sincere with you all, Nina already knew there was something going on with you all. He said as Sarah choked on the water she was drinking. Babe, are you ok? Klaus asked as she nodded. How did she find out? Ruby asked. Sis, it's noticeable. You girls do basically everything together and all of a sudden you just stopped doing it so of course people will notice. Luke said. So what did Nina's say? Sam asked still not sparing Naomi a glance. Well she prepared a little something for you guys. Frank said. I hope it's not a will. Klaus joked not no one laughed. Please go ahead Frank. Naomi said as Sarah rolled her eyes. Bitch. She muttered to no one's hearing. She booked a movie at the theater and I came with the tickets. Frank said. Then I'm not going. Sam and Sarah said in unison. No one is allowed to not go. There is a punishment for anyone who doesn't go. He said distributing the tickets amongst them. The festival is around the corner. So you all must go. You have to participate in whatever they do. Make it fun for yourselves. He said. As if the theater wasn't enough. Sarah grumbled. Nina is just too much. Sam said. How would you know if we don't go? Ruby asked. She has men watching. Frank answered. Ahh. Sam shouted as she glared at Naomi. Well, what can we do? We just need to go. Luke said. Yeah, that's right. Work is hectic. Thanks to Nina, we could take a break. Klaus said as Sam stood up. If you're al finished, I'll have to leave first. She said storming of. I'll go check to know what's wrong with her. Ruby said following her. Aren't you tired of seeking attention and causing problem for everyone? She asked as she scoffed. You know what? Why don't you just join Nina. I'm sure she would be happy to gladly receive you. Just drop dead. Sarah said as Naomi gasped. Sarah, how can you say such a thing? Luke asked. Don't talk to me lukey boy. I'm not in the mood for your nonsense. Sarah said. Babe don't. This is Nina's funeral. Let's respect it. Klaus said as she rolled her eyes and walked away. Don't pay attention to her. You know how she is. Klaus said trying to justify Sarah's behavior as Naomi just nodded. Just help around. It might help you clear your head. Luke said

************************************Sam hold on. Ruby called going after her. There is no need to follow me. Everyone is about Naomi this, Naomi that. She said raising her hands up. Why don't you all eat her. She shouted as those around her turned to her. Sorry. Emotional breakdown. She said to them as they sympathized with her. Leave me the fuck alone. She whispered screamed as Ruby rolled her eyes. Quit the drama. This is for Nina, so we have to do what she wants. You know you won't be happy if you don't grant Nina her wish. Ruby said as Sam sighed. Do I have a choice? She asked as Ruby smiled. No, you don't. She said putting her hands on Sam's shoulders squeezing it. Come on cheer up. Everything is gonna be alright. Ruby said
