Scarlett’s pov

Louis left with Niall trailing behind him tears dripping down his cheeks. Zayn lingered in the corner before leaving.

“Let’s wash you up” Liam whispered a tear began its trek down his cheek.

I brought my hand up and wiped it way. It left a small smidge of blood. “Sorry” I muttered

“That’s fine Scarlett” helped me up.

I wasn’t aware of how much of a murder scene this looked like, bloody clothes everywhere, everything was torn to shreds, Liam and I walked over to the lake- our ‘shower’.

I sat down in that one spot were Liam and I sat together almost 7 and a half months ago. The spot he told me that he loved me, the spot he proposed to me, the spot we wed, the spot she was conceived… That spot. Who knew that such a small pointless thing- a rock- could mean so much to one person?

Liam and I went into the water and washed up he helped me rinse the blood off my hands and my body, my tummy, my arms, he washed my shoulders and I washed his.

The love I had for this man was impractical. I would do anything for him and the one thing I couldn’t do was the thing he wanted most.

After we got out of the water Liam handed me my clothes and he tugged on his.

He took my hand and began walking back to camp. It was quiet and I knew that he was struggling just as much as I was; he didn’t know where we stood anymore.

The boys had already finished digging a grave it was small about 3 feet long and 2 feet wide. They had a small wooden box with a big cross-painted on it. In side the box it was covered with a small white silk blanket.

Zayn was sitting with Taylor in his arms stroking her cheek a white dress on her. As Liam and I approached the boys stood up and walked towards the gravesite.

Zayn handed me the small bundle that was cold as ice.

I pressed my lips to her forehead. And looked to Liam he pressed his lips to her head as well.

It was dead silent; it was obvious no one knew what to say.

I took two steps toward the coffin and then stopped I took a breath and then continued, I got on my knees and gently placed her into it. I took off – my locket the little heart that was to be handed down to the first-born daughter I put it on her chest.

I took two steps back and Liam came forward he put a small teddy bear in beside her and a picture of he and I with small writing on it ‘Always our baby girl ‘ it read.

The boys all stood there I slowly looked at Liam and closed the lid to her coffin. He then put the small coffin in the grave just beside Nick’s.

“Uncle Nick will take good care of you,” I whispered

I then as if a motor was running me place a handful of dirt into the grave, then so did Liam, then Zayn and Niall. Louis threw in 2 handfuls.

“Uncle Harry and I” he said

And then Zayn covered the grave and Niall stuck the Rock in the ground.

Below the large cross:

Taylor Marie Alexander- Payne

Beloved Daughter and Niece.

Forever within our hearts,

Those words brought tears in my eyes but those tears refused to fall.
