Aurora's P.O.V

"Miss Anderson?"

"Miss Anderson?"

"I'm sorry, what?" She offers me a sympathetic smile.

"Would you like to do this another time? Tomorrow maybe?"

"No, if I don't start today then I'll never start. I mean, we have to plan his funeral at some point right?"

"Right." I clear my throat.

"Well, knowing Cy I know that he would have wanted something small and intimate. He hated flashy, which is so ironic to how he lived his life." I say the last part chuckling then feel my eyes water. "I'm sorry." Standing up I head out into the garden to push my tears back. If I start to crumble now I'll never come back. I have to be strong, for everyone, for our child. After calming down I head back inside. Jezel and I spend the next hour or so picking out a venue, Cy's memorial, colours and anything else that might need to be done for that day. The whole time I felt as though I was suffocating, being crushed by every decision made, god this is hard. It's so fucken hard.

"Well if Mrs Kensington wants to add anything please have her call m-"

"She won't." Trust me I tried as well, nodding I walk her out then head upstairs.

"You done already?" I look back at her.

"You should have joined us but yes, everything is set."

"I'm sorry to put this weight on you dear, I just couldn't-" Her eyes water, holding her hand softly I offer her a smile.

"I know." I really do understand where she's coming from, I mean I asked Cyan to go on my behalf to identify Cy's body for Christs sake. "It's okay, go lie down and I'll get dinner started." Nodding she heads to her room. Sigh, I was actually looking forward to taking a quick nap before my late meeting with Ben, oh well.

"You really are hopeless." I look up to find Cy standing by the doorway, the glass in my hand slips, shattering into the ground.

"C-Cy." My eyes widen from shock.

"Angel." He offers me his famous smirk, the smirk I love so so much. I start making my way to him.

"Oh my goodness Aurora! Are you alright?" When she passes through him, he disappears, like an illusion of smoke. "Aurora." My eyes shift to her, it wasn't real?

"I'm- I'm fine, please excuse me." I rush to the bathroom and splash myself with water. "How much more do I have to take? What more needs to happen for it to be enough?" Sighing I take a few breaths then head back down. Finishing dinner, I dish up and eat while in the meeting.

"Aurora are you sure you're okay to go through with this?"

"Ben, I'm fine, if anything I want to push this out of the way. I want to take some time off after his funeral so I'm putting everything in place." He nods. "Justin please make sure everyone at the office is informed about the coming events."

"Yes ma'am."

"Ben, I'll be meeting with Layla tomorrow, she promised to walk me through everything as best she could so I think I'll be too busy to overlook the design of the billboard, do you think you and Justin can make the decision without me?"

"Justin?" He asks and Justin nods.

"He knows what I like so I trust him, I trust you as well. You have a good eye." He chuckles. "Okay, thank you guys. Bye." Hanging up I sink back into the chair. 'I'm tired' I think dosing in and out of sleep. I wake up in panic when my alarm goes off, it's morning? Did I sleep here? Rushing to my room I take a shower and get ready.
