The next morning I woke up on mums bed. She was lying facing the all with her arms wrapped around her stomach. Bella lay in between us, with her thumb in her mouth and her hand wrapped around her blanket. I rolled slowly out of the bed and walked out into the kitchen, then across into Elsa's room. I opened the door, then shut it behind me, it smelt of her lotion that mum used on her. The window was open and sent a brisk wind through. I walked over and shut it. Her bed was right behind me as I turned around, I looked down onto it and saw her favourite blanket. I picked it up and stroked it and pulled it close to my face. I smelt it and it soaked up my tears as they fell down my face.
"My Dad will look after you up there you know Elsa. He was an-" I stopped to the sound of my phone ringing. I picked it up from my back pocket and answered it.
*phonecall*
Sue: hello Isla, is that you?
Me: yeah it's me, did someone tell you about Elsa?
Sue: yeah I couldn't get hold of Carla, what happened?
Me: yeah mums exhausted, Elsa was taken out of the restaurant by the chef and he put her down outside and Tracy crashed the car into her
Sue: Tracy? Tracy did this?
Me: yeah
Sue: then what happened?
Me: she was taken to hospital and they tried to treat her because she had a head injury and both her legs were broken. But she had a massive bleed on her brain and there was nothing they could have done.
Sue: has anything been said about a funeral?
Me: not really, mum hasn't spoken about it, I think it's going to be on Friday.
Sue: can you tell your mum that I will be there?
Me: yeah of course, I will keep you updated on the details.
Sue : thank you bye
Me: bye

I put down the phone to Tony's mum, who Elsa had met a few times and sure loved Elsa.

I put her blanket back in her bed after folding it neatly.
"I love you Elsa Connor" I said quietly before walking towards the door.
I left and went into my room to get dressed. I put on a grey jumper and a pair of jeans then put my hair in a messy bun and grabbed my phone. I walked out of my room to find mum standing at the coffee machine.
"Hey angel how long have you been up?"
"Not long, Sue called, wanted to know when the funeral is"
"Friday"
"I told her, I'm just popping out for some air, do you want me to do anything?"
"No thanks"
I started walking towards the door, after grabbing my keys,
"Isla," mum started, "I want you to write and read Tilly's eulogy at her funeral"
"Of course" I said and I grabbed the door handle and walked out.

I choose some flowers from Dev's then went inside and took them to the counter. Erica and Dev were sat behind it.
"I'm sorry" Dev said, "I know how it feels to loose someone close to you"
"Thanks, we'll get through it"
"I'm sorry too you know, I dread to think what you're all going through right now" Erica said as she gave me my change.
"Do you have a pen?" I asked
"Yeah sure" Erica said as she scrambled around under the counter. She handed me a pen.
"Do you mind if I quickly write on the card?" I said and she nodded quickly.

I wrote in my best hand writing on the card. I couldn't have loved you anymore, Elsa Connor. You're going to love the fairies but remember I will never forget you angel cakes.

I gave the pen back and picked up the flowers. Then went outside and put them on the cobbled road where Elsa died.
"I love you baby girl" I said as I kissed my hand then touched the flowers.
