Dakota's POV

"Even if I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me: your rod & your staff they comfort me." The Father spoke to to everyone with his head in the bible.

The sky was clear as the sun was going down & It was cool evening. Reid was holding my hand over top his knee &  squeezing it every so often to comfort me as we both were crying silently. Both of us were sitting on a metal chair in the middle of a cemetery with two white rose's in each of our hand, one in his & one in mine. There are two casket's that sat beside each other & they were in the middle on some machine so when the time comes the caskets will be brought down 6 feet in the ground.  

"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, & death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away." The Father spoke with his head in the bible to to everyone glancing up every so often.

Uncle Charlie sat beside me with a few tears rolling down his cheeks as the Father kept talking a little longer. After about a half an hour of the service everyone stood to leave before they left a flower or two on the caskets. Uncle Charlie stood up & left his one rose on each casket before he walked over to speak with the father. Me & Reid couldn't move, It was like time was frozen, I couldn't believe that this is all real. It still didn't feel real at this moment. After speaking with the Father Uncle Charlie walked back over to us & stood over us for a moment, watching us then he cleared his throat. 

"You two ready to go?" Uncle Charlie asked.

Reid looks at me then back at his father.

"Just a few more minutes" Reid said.

Uncle Charlie nodded. 

"I'll be in the car when you two are ready" Uncle Charlie said as he walked off toward the the car.

Reid looks over at me as I looked up at him. We both stand up in silence walking slowly to each coffin putting one rose each on each coffin. We stand there for a while as it got darker around us. We walked to the car in silence to head to our hotel room for the night.

After five days in California Reid, uncle Charlie & me made it back to Forks. It's been a week since the funeral & packing stuff from my old home. I knew it was gonna be hard but I didn't think it was gonna be this hard. I barely left my room nor ate nor drank. I felt I like a lost a big part of me. My parents were more then my parents to me they were my best friends, Especially my dad. I was very close to him. I preferred doing boy stuff cuz I thought they were more fun. I was daddy's little girl. he called me his little wolf. (yes corny. IK. I couldn't think of anything :P) If it wasn't for Reid or my uncle I'd probably be a worse mess then I am now. 

"Hey, Kota wanna come with me & Paul to Emily's house?" Reid asked as he popped his head in my bedroom door with a small smile.

"I want you to meet the guyz" He say's

"Um sure just let me take a shower & get dressed" I tell him as I get up from sitting on my bed book marking where I am in Animorphs & placing it down on my bed side table.

I was in still in my PJ's from the last few days since we've been back. 

"You got 10 minutes" he said as He nodded & laughing whilst shutting my door leaving. 

I felt a smile creep up as he left. Like I said, If it wasn't for them I don't know were I'd be. Once I grabbed my clothes from my wardrobe I went down the stairs from my attic room to the bathroom to shower. After about 15 minutes I was finished my shower. I quickly got dressed, brushed my teeth & hair. I decided to just leave my naturally wavy hair down.  

Instead of shorts she's wearing the jeans.

About another 15 minutes I left the bathroom & met my cousin at the front door

About another 15 minutes I left the bathroom & met my cousin at the front door. He was holding a helmet out to me. 

"Ready?" He said with a grin on his face. 

"Yep." I said returning the grin. 

I knew I had to be strong from my families sake right now. I thought to myself as we walked outside. 

I slipt on a blue helmet as I jumped on Reid's green dirt bike sitting behind him & rapping my hands around his waist. Reid put his keys in the ignition & the bike sprang to life. He revved the engine a few times before flying off in the direction of the reservation.

Ya, sorry it's short again lolz I seem to like short chapters apparently hehe. 

I wasn't trying to be disrespectful. I don't have any experience in this fortunately.  Plz don't hate. My condolences go to the ones that have gone through what Dakota has gone through. RIP & may God bless toughs who've have been through this. Whether it's with one parent or both or even grandparent(s) ect that have taken the parent role. My thought's & prayers go to you all.
