Saying Hello As Well As Goodbye

Ready for a new home

The funeral is today.

Groaning I got up from my bed and went into my en suite to quickly shower.

When I was done I went over to my wardrobe to pull out the new dress I had bought a few days ago. Dad thinks it's stunning and mum would've loved it.

It's a red skater dress with a black belt around the waist. With it I wore a black blazer. I decided to straighten my hair and wear a red head band.

"Grandma! Where are my flats?" I called out.

"Your mums closet!" she answered.

"Kay!"

I walked down the hall and into mums room. It isn't bothering me much anymore to go in here. I walked into her huge walk-in closet and saw my shoes sitting right there on the shoe rack in front of me.

Slipping on my flats I went back to my room to grab my Vera Bradley hipster and iPhone. My background is a picture of me and mum. The first photo I ever took with this phone at that.

Mum was sitting on the couch last christmas and I had come up behind her, wrapped my arms around her neck and told her to do funny faces with me. So we look retarded in the photo but I love it.

"Ready to go?" Grandma said from behind me making me jump.

"Ready as I'll ever be!" I half smiled and went downstairs where everyone was waiting.

"You look beautiful Becs." Dad smiled at me as soon as I walked down the stairs.

"Thanks dad!" I smiled back at him.

I walked up to him and in his awaiting arms. I'm glad I finally have him especially now that mums gone.

"C'mon lets go." He said and lead us outside and into his car.

Arriving at the grave site there was a lot of people already there.

We decided not to do an open casket or anything and just have the whole ceremony at the cemetery so it would be easier on everyone.

"Okay so is everyone here now?" The dude that's leading this whole thing said. I never got his name.

"Yes." Grandma called out.

After the funeral we all went back to the house for some food and other stuff.

It was nice seeing all my family an friends together and having them all here to show their respects to mum.

I guess even though I'll miss her like crazy, I'm glad she's not here anymore.

Okay. Wait! That sounds mean let me rephrase that.

I'm glad she isn't suffering anymore. I'm glad all her pain is gone and that she is happy that she doesn't have to bother with it.

"Miss Rebecca-May Swift?" Some man dressed in a suit came up to me and asked.

"Yes sir!" I replied.

"I'm sorry about your loss but there is something that your mother requested you see as soon as the funeral was over with." He told me.

"Okay let me just go get my dad. Be right back!" I told the man and went to find dad.

I found him in the living room talking to Uncle Niall and Uncle Niall's girlfriend? Hmm okay then.

"Dad! There's some guy here saying that we need to watch something. It was requested by mum he said." I explained to dad. He nodded his head and followed me to the man whose name I still don't know.

"Mr. Smith I thought we were to be coming into your office to watch the recorded video tomorrow? What has changed?" Dad asked.

Oh he's mums lawyer! That explains things.

"Yes well you see it says that Miss Rebecca-May needs to see it now."

"Alright let's go up to the office." Dad said leading us all up to the office to watch this video.

Once in the office dad put the disk in the DVD player and turned the tv on.

Mum came in screen.

"Hey Darcy!" Mum waved. God she knew I hated being called that.

Don't get me wrong the name is nice and all just way overused!

"I can pictured you not being to pleased with that greeting! Haha well baby this is my will and basically I leave everything to you. I know you won't be able to handle anything on your own yet so it's left with grandma until she thinks your ready. And now here is where I have I state all this stuff in an official way." She smiled then continued. "I leave all my belongings to my only daughter Rebecca-May Darcy Swift. She is not to receive the house util her grandmother, my mother, says she is ready for the responsibility or she is of age, 21. I grant Harry Edward Styles, Rebecca-Mays dad full custody and guardianship of Rebecca.... Okay official stuff over with! Becca I love you and be a good kid. Do drugs, quit school and all that fun stuff to irritate Haz for me Kay?" She laughed. "I'm only joking don't get that face Harry! Be good I love you both! Bye!" She waved and the video cut off.

"Wow she didn't make me cry for once." I smiled and was happy that mum made me laugh instead of cry.

I seriously think she knew to well that dad was going to make a face at what she said about school and stuff. Mum always knows, most of the time. I think I'm ready to move into dads house and move on with life. This was just a little bump in my long roller coaster of life ;)

Oh going all Uncle Zayn on ya!

I know grandma will always be there to take care of all of mums financial stuff and the house until I'm old enough. So it's time for me to say goodbye to this place for a bit and spend the much needed time with my dad and uncles and their families.

"You okay Becca?" Dad asked me.

Guess I was snapped out of it for a bit.

"Yeah I'm fine. I think we might need to get some boxes for my stuff though." I smiled at him.

"So you ready to move in with me then?" He quizzed looking quite happy.

"Most defiantly!" I or up from my seat and sat in his lap and hug him tightly.

"Love you Becca." He said wrapping his arms around me.

"Low me too!" I smiled.

"Coincided little child." He mumbled. "But I love it!" He winked.

I laughed and got up to finish seeing, everyone who was here for the party thing, off. Well it's kinda rude for the hostess to be off snuggling up to her dad instead of out in the living room with them.

When everyone left I kissed grandma and dad on the cheek goodnight and went up Ito my room. Tomorrow I start packing for my new home. I'm absolutely and underly ready for this change.
