It is visitation day at the funeral home. Emily got me on half an hour ago. I have done had a shower and I just put my dress on. I put my heels on then my choker necklace. I put on my ring before brushing my hair out.

Kim pokes her head through and she smiles at me. I sigh and I follow her out into the living room. The pack is all here. I curtsy and I get in Jarred's truck. God knows I am not climbing into Paul's massive sized truck wearing a dress. Kim rides with Paul to keep him company.

The funeral home is a depressing place. My grandparents on his side are here, some cousins, and my aunt Karen. Susanna and Hillary will show up tomorrow for the funeral, according to Margo, my grandma.

"On Layla." Philip, my grandpa, coos and he me.

"Hey, grandpa Philip." I whisper.

"I hear you found 'em." Grandpa Philip says.

"I heard you finally phased." Grandma Margo comments.

"Both of those are correct." I reply simply.

They both hug me and grandma Margo begins to cry. Grandpa Philip hugs his wife and I walk away. I hug my aunt Karen and my 8 year old cousin, Tia.

"I'm glad you could make it."

We all walk up to see my dad. His skin is pale, from the overdose and death, and cold. I lean down and I kiss his forehead before headed to Jared. Grandma Margo and grandpa Philip have done found him and are chatting away about mama.

I join Paul, who is with my aunt Karen and little Tia. Paul kisses my hair before the priest begins speaking for the visitation. I still cannot believe tomorrow will be my final time seeing him.

I ride to Sam's with Emily in her jeep. She makes me some steamed potatoes and roasted carrots for lunch. She thinks I need something healthy. Sam and Emily are having me move in here; they are sending dad's stuff and the furniture with aunt Karen.

I go to my room and I lock the door. Paul had slipped in before I closed the door. I change into some pajamas while Paul strips to his boxer shorts. I curl up beside him in bed. I close my eyes as I listen to his heartbeat. I soon drift off to sleep.
