I was too upset to even dress pretty...All the guys were here before me"Little Buzz!"the guys all said smiling...all accept for Marcus..I hugged Lenny tightly..he was my closest friend..big brother wise"I know Jess...its gonna be okay"He said rubbing my back"It just hurts so much"I said with a cracked voice.I sniffled and backed up"Oh Eric hi!"I said hugging him"Hey there you look great for..well..you know"Eric said making me giggle"Kurt heyy"I said hugging him"Hey there missy.You are still fine as ever"He said jokingly,making me laugh"You're pretty fine yourself"I said joking back"Robby hey"I said hugging him"Jess this is Gloria..my fiance"He said.I eyed her for a moment...she was old as dirt"Uh...hello,it's nice to meet you"I said holding out my hand.She,instead pulled me in a hug.I was surprised but hugged back,seeing the guys laughing at me.I flipped them off...finally...my eyes layed upon Marcus...I slowly walked to him timidly"Uh...you're...outfit isnt exaclty funeral material"I said blushing"I dont really have anything black...sorry"Marcus said"Its okay..I understand Marcus"I said looking at my feet"You still are as beautiful as I remembered..if not more"Marcus said.I was going to say something,but I heard a shreal"Jess!!"I then was in Sally's arms"Sally!!!Deanne!!"I said loud and excitedly

Roxanne said smiling.I blushed"Yeah that was me...forgot about that"I said embarassed...So we went inside to find seats.I of course,sat in the front with afew of my family members..I couldnt help but notice the guys sat with their wives and kids on my side.It was Robby and Gloria in the row behind me,then the row behind him was Eric,Sally and their kids,then the row behind him was Kurt,Deanne and their kids,then behind him was Lenny,Roxanne and their kids..Marcus on the other hand was looking for a seat.I felt bad for him so..."Marcus,vacent seat here"I said.He drew a nervous smile and sat down"Thanks.I didnt want to sit by Rob"Marcus whispered making me giggle"Understandable...I heard Lenny rented the lake house...for the weekend"I said as people were still trying to find a seat"Oh yea I heard...are you...going?Out of curiostiy"Marcus asked.I smirked"Yeah.I need the stress relief"I said.Marcus nodded then the pastur came up and started to talk about Dad.Some of it made me cry, but others made me laugh.It was finally,Lenny's turn to talk.I was nervous because Lenny had a way with words..."Im sorry I-Im not prepared at all but Im very honored the coach asked me to do this bu uhh...I also feel terrible because I havent seen the coach in such a long time and he always wanted me to come to town and see him..I got caught up in what I've been doing..and regret it.I also understand that the St. Marks Team of 1978 was the only team the coach ever had.Uh...thats very impressive.From the talent we had to offer. Believe it or not Robby and Marcus were actually shorter in 1978"Lenny said making us all laugh.I looked over to Marcus smiling.He looked over and I very quickly looked away~I am too old for this crap~I thought"Yeah but they have something you mastered,they know how to pass the ball"Eric said making us all laugh again "Oh looks like somebody has to learn how to pass the Kentucky fried chicken"Lenny said making us all laugh,but Eric didnt find it funny"Im kiddin now,Im kidding.Now we're saying goodbye to a very big important part of our lives.All of us,you-you affected everyone in this room.Your daughter came to be a brilliant,successful,beautiful woman and we're all proud of little buzz.I hope one day we get to live our lives like you.No regrets when the final buzzer sounds...So lets all uh..bow our heads in silence"Lenny said..by this time I was crying..."Come here Jess"Marcus pulled me in a hug and I cried...after afew minutes of regaining my composure, I was told it was my turn to talk..I sighed and went up to the stage.I smiled"Wow I am seriously not use to being the girl who's serious...It's weird I guess...I was supposed to make a speech...but it was too hard...there was just too many things to say about my Dad that I could get down on paper..so bare with me guys....Well...what can I say really?He was a really good Dad...my mom died at a young age for me so it was just me and the coach...he was always fair with me, and most of the time...i did get my way..Im not gonna lie I was a Daddy's girl"I said smirking, people snickered"And by Daddy's girl, you got everything and when you didn't you cried"Marcus said with a big smirk.I gave him a glare with a smirk"But who came over every night to get in on myyyy icecream sundae you fatty?"I said making people laugh"In all seriousness, he was really a rescpectful guy...accept when he tapped my phone calls from Marcus when I was 17"I said giggling.Every one laughed at this"My name that the guys chose to give me as a kid was Little Buzz because I was the Buzzer's daughter...I feel so terrible...I mean Im his only daughter and I couldnt even come to see him...I wish I had seen him on better circumstances...god...well I dont really know what else to say...Im gonna miss the old fart..i just hope he knew that even though I was selfish and didnt come to see him..I still really,and always will until my final breath love him"I said smiling at his picture.So I sat back down and Marcus looked at me"You feel any better?"Marcus asked me.I sighed shakily "I do...but I'm really gonna miss him"I said as afew tears fell"I know...I know Jess"Marcus said hugging me.So 20 minutes later and Robby was singing some song...it was embarassing..I then felt my phone vibrate so I looked at it...it was a text from Lenny
*Five bucks says he takes your dad on one knee*
I giggled at this
*You're on chump* I started cracking up, trying HARD not to bust out laughing...I couldnt hold my laughter in anymore so I faced my head in the crook of Marcus' chest
"Dont...move"I said trying not to laugh"Sure no problem"Marcus said laughing himself.I held my laughter to look at Rob again,he took my Dad's picture down on his knees"Damn it!"I whispered then looked back at Lenny.He smirked and held out his hand.I sighed taking a 5 from my purse and handing it to Gloria, who handed it to Eric, who handed it to Kurt, who handed it to Lenny. He smirked putting it inside his tux jacket.I sighed but laughed my ass off because when Rob finished,Marcus made a loud buzzer noise.Everyone started laughing"Grow up!"Robby said embarassed"That was funny and u know it"I said laughing"What an example you're setting"Robby said"Dad would of laughed too!He's laughing now"I said laughing more.I thought his anger was amusing"Dont get so mad there Robby"Lenny said(Skip to party)So the guys were sitting on the bench.I was shaking hands, hugging family members and various people.I wanted to talk to Marcus alone..because after all these years I'm still into him.....
