In The Mourning

Part One

"Blair, I cannot thank you enough for doing this for me", Rebecca said while holding my hands so tight.

It was Rebecca's 16th birthday; her last birthday to be exact. Rebecca was suffering with Leukemia. What made her so special is I never had a sister, I was an only child and Rebecca's parents died in a car accident. Since then, her parents made her as their own and I loved her so much.

We found out about Rebecca's terminal condition 2 months prior to her birthday and since then, we have been doing everything to make her happy. I even defer from NYU for a semester to make sure her last final moments will be with the people she loves.

And today, we are throwing her the biggest birthday party a 16 year old girl can have.

"Anything for you, Rebecca", I hugged her.

"I am not sure how much this party costs but I am pretty sure mummy and daddy paid a lot. You know you guys did not have to do this?"

I finally let go of the hug and said, "Nonsense. Remember my 16th birthday? You were 11.. You remember how our parents went crazy when I said I did not want a huge birthday and they ended up inviting their socialite friends?"

She nodded and let out a small chuckle, "Of course, Blair. At the end, you decided to ditch the soiree and hang out with me instead. You are the best sister anyone could ever have"

My smile disappeared. I wondered how much strength God had given her at that time. She knew how much time she has left but she was always strong around everyone, especially me.

"I want you to get ready for your party, your friends are gonna be here soon and I have a surprise for you!"

"Mummy and daddy wouldn't tell me who you invited to sing at my party. This frustrates me. What if it's some band that I hate. Or Celine Dion?"

"Babygirl, I can assure you.. You'll love it! Now go and get ready. I need to run few errands before your party."

I left our house to check the venue for Rebecca's party. Everything looked so perfect. Instead of throwing the typical 16 year old sweet sixteen. My parents and I decided to throw her a small private concert for her and her friends. Her kind of perfect party.

As I opened the door, I could see everyone was running around the place to set the balloons, slide show, stage, backdrop and food. I was happy to see how well the place turned out. The stage had a set of drum, two guitars, a bass and three mic stands. I assumed it was for the performers that I pulled some strings for Rebecca.

"When is the band coming, Harry?", I asked the party planner

"They just called me, they said they are on their way for sound check. Are you going to see them first before the party?"

"It's okay. I need to make sure Rebecca is doing alright. She seems so nervous"

"She's going to love this, Blair and she is lucky to have someone like you in her life."

I weakly smiled and left. I just did not want to have another conversation about Rebecca with anyone.

It was 8PM and Rebecca was about to make her entrance. She looked so lively and she had a bouquet of Peony in her hands, given by our daddy. Mummy held her right arms while daddy was on her left. She wanted to make an entrance with our parents. Her friends cheered for her and I could see some of her friends from her chemo sessions. To my surprise, all of her guy friends were bald. As a sign of support.

After an hour or so, I asked the DJ to cut the music and I got up on stage. Rebecca gave me 'wtf' look after she realized she was under the spotlight.

"As all of you know, today is Rebecca's 16th birthday.", I was cut by Rebecca's friends cheering for her.

"Okay, Rebecca I am going to tell your friends some embarrassing habits that you have but you are going to love me later. So anyways, Rebecca hates the thunder. She would cry like a baby if I wouldn't let her sleep with me."

I went on for five minutes about her habits before our parents pushed a huge cake beside me.

"Okay, one last habit of hers. She loves this band, I think you guys have heard of them, My Chemical Romance, I think?"

"Omg, Blair what are you doing?", Rebecca shouted from her place.

"I got one last present for you, Becky", I smiled.

After that last sentence, the whole venue went dark and the spotlight was now on the cake. Then, a voice singing 'Happy Birthday' can be heard from inside of the cake.

The cake finally opened up and revealed the lead singer from My Chemical Romance. The crowd instantly went crazy and I pulled Rebecca on the stage. She screamed and kept saying 'Oh My God'.

After he was done singing Happy Birthday to Rebecca. He gave her a hug and and she said, "How did you guys even manage to come here? You guys are on tour!"

"Well, your heavenly sister can be very persuasive. She made sure you'd have a good sixteen birthday and happy birthday kid"

Right after that, the band started playing their songs while Rebecca was on stage. I decided to let the kids have fun and stayed in the back room.

After half an hour, I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in!"

When the door opened, it revealed a man about my height that had tattoo all over his hands.

"You are Blair, right?
