Red Like Roses Part 2 seems to be Ruby reflecting on how she felt at the time. And some of the lyrics do make it seem like Ruby didn't completely understand the situation. To me, it sounds like, when it happened, Ruby blamed Summer for not keeping her promise to come back home ("How could you leave me when you swore that you would stay?!"). She didn't seem to understand that, just because Summer promised she would come back home, that didn't make Summer immune to death. She felt like Summer broke her promise and was angry about it.

That, and, of course, we have the line "No way in hell I can ever comprehend this! I wasn't dreaming when they told me you were gone! I was wide awake and feeling that they had to be wrong!" This pretty much tells us that, when they first told Ruby that Summer was dead, Ruby felt like it was all just a bad dream and thought they were wrong. Now that she's older, she knows that she was actually awake and that it did happen.
