Meet Ariel Cowell. She lost the person she loved the most, her dearest mother. Now all of a sudden her father comes back to her life out of no where. Her father is the famous Simon Cowell. Her life will be full of adventure and surprises. There migh...
Today is my mom's funeral. I decided to stay in my mom's house after the meeting with Simon. My aunt wanted me to stay with her for awhile but I decided to stay in my mom's house for one last time before I move with Simon to England.
For these past few nights I had a hard time falling asleep. I would just cry and cry. My aunt would check up on me everyday to see how I was doing and tried to make me go out but I didn't want to. I would just stay in the house unless I had to go to the marketplace to get food. Most of the time my aunt would just watch movies with me and bring ice cream. Simon called me everyday to check on how I was doing. I didn't know how he got my phone number but it was sweet of him to check up on me . Most of the time the call was awkward not knowing what to say with one another.
For my mom's funeral I decided to wear a black lace dress that my mom bought me a long time ago and black heels. Putting my make up on and curling my hair. I look at myself in the mirror and it was like looking at a different person. This person doesn't smile as much, her eyes are puffy from crying all the time, and bags under her eyes from lack of sleep.

Hearing the doorbell ring, I grab my purse and went down to answer the door. When I open the door I was surprised to see that it was Simon. Aunt Karen was suppose to pick me up.
"Your Aunt Karen told me to pick you up. She's at the church making sure everything is running smoothly. Are you ready to go?" Simon asks me.
"Yah" I say to him. I close the door behind me and follow Simon to his car.

We arrive to the church and saw all of my family members there. All of them gave me hugs and condolences. Same thing with my mom's co-workers. I saw that my mom's casket was open and decided to go see her for one last time.
Seeing the sight of my mother made me cry even more than ever. My mother was wearing her favorite blue floral dress with blue flats to match it. Her hair was curled and I notice that she had light make up on her for color. But even though with the make up they put on her to make her lively, they failed. Lifeless was all I see. I didn't care if people saw me cry or not. Next thing I know there was somebody that patted me on the back. I looked back and saw that it was Simon. I embraced him with a hug, hugging him tightly. His body was tense but he relaxes and hugs me back.
"It's okay Ariel. Shhh.. I'm here for you now" Simon whispers to me, trying to calm me down.
"The service is going to start soon Ariel. Let's go find our seats" Simons says to me. I nod and start following him. Aunt Karen already saved us seats and we both sat right next to her.
I look at my aunt and saw that her eyes were red and puffy. She also looks exhausted. To be honest all three of us looked absolutely awful.
The service starts and the priest starts with a prayer. Also blessing my mom's body. The rest of the time I wasn't even paying attention to what the priest was preaching. I was busy just thinking about my mom and all the memories we shared.
