I wake up to the alarm blaring into my left ear. I cuss at it and slam my hand on the snooze button. These last few days have been hectic. After the kidnapping everyone kept watching me. Its so annoying. I get up and i notice a note on my nightstand.

Note- hey Jade. There is a dress inside ur bathroom for the big day. The Ceremony will start at 11 and end at noon so be ready by 10. love ya lots. Tessa.

i read the note again. is someone getting married? then it hits me at full force. its my family's funeral. hurray! note the sarcasm. i expected this day to come but i didn't think it would arrive this fast. with a sigh i grab my black undercloths and head to the washroom. i strip and hop into the shower. i let a few rogue tears spill out. i was not up for crying. i hop out and dry myself. i put on my underclothes and grab the dress off of the hanger. it was a v-neck with short, lacy sleeves that has a Marilyn Monroe outline. i pull on my black combat shoes that lace up and grab my ray ban's that has a thick band and tinted glass. next is makeup. i want a natural look so i just use some eyeliner and then gloss my lips with a pale pink lipgloss. once i'm done with that i grab my blow dryer and dry my hair. then i brush through it. i through my pj's in the laundry hamper and step out of the bathroom. i search through my clothing closet for my black clutch. i grab it and leave. i place my phone, wallet, mint pills, backup makeup, keys, a pocket knife, and a package of tissues inside. i head over to the window and i close the drapes. i check the time and it said 9 am. i sigh and head downstairs. i walk toward the kitchen and open the door. i ask the chef to just make me a piece of toast and a glass of milk. i head out into the dining room to wait for my food. i sit down and i have taht feeling were u think u forgot to do something. all of a sudden the doorbell rings. i walk toward the door and open it. Mia, Bia, George, Georgia and Georgette stand on the porch.

i slap my forehead physially. i knew i forgot something! i forgot to tell Tessa that my friends were attending the funeral. i start running towards the stairs but stop short and yell over my shoulder "come in!" i run up the stairs and politely knock.

"come in." Tessa says.

i run in and see that she was just applying her makeup. i tell her,"i'm sorry to inform u but my friends Mia, Bia, George, Georgia, and Georgette will be attending the funeral. do u think they can come?"

"sure thing sweetie." she says absentmindedly. i let go of the breath i didn't know i was keeping in. "thanks Tessa." i say and then leave with a smile on my face. that will probably be the only smile that will show itself today. i enter the livingroom and i take notice of their clothing. Mia and Bia wore matching black dresses with a loop that hooks around their necks. there are sequins on the bust area and then it flows out to just above their knees. they had their hair in a bun. Georgia wore a sack dress that had a scoop neck that had lacy flowers stitched into it. the waist of the dress was sinched and she wore a thin dark brown belt. the dress was black. she had her hair in a french braid. Georgette wore an off the shoulder dress. the shoulder with the strap was ruffled and the skirt was a high waisted one. it was also black. she had her hair in a braid. George wore a black Hilfiger suit. he gelled his hair Jame's Bondstyle. they looked pretty good. once i was done staring i wave at them. they all smiled in response.

George comes up to me and asks,"u okay?"

i nod my head, not trusting that i open my mouth and fits of giggles would come out. i smiled and started shaking from suppresing my giggles. he looks at me confused and that just did it. i couln't hold it in anymore. i bursted out laughing. i drop to the ground and start rolling while clutching my belly for dear life. everyone looks down at me and they look confused. that just makes me laugh harder. once i finally calmed down Georgette asks,"whats so funny?"

i smile and say,"George's hair is Jame's Bond style but i looks out of place. then it looks even more out of place when he looked at me confused. it was so funny!" George pouts and everyone laughs at how ridiculous he looks. he crosses his arms and falls down on the couch with a 'hmphh' and a grouchy face. it was now 9:50 am and Tessa yells through the intercoms,"LETS GO! WE STILL NEED TO PREPARE! MOVE, MOVE, MOVE!" we scramble up and head for the door. this is gonna be a very long and dreadful day.
