Emily Pov

I'm sitting on the ledge of the building of the next day. Its a little chilly, but not to bad. McKenzie sits down next to me, not saying anything. After a couple minutes she speaks up. "Do you miss her?"

"Of course I miss her. I would do anything to get her back." Her is my mother. We have had this conversation before. It usually ends at that, but I can see Kenzie wants to say something else. "Hey, no ones around. You can speak your mind her. Its just me." She sighs

"Its just, I don't know. I think its weird that we didnt have her body at the funeral. Like where did they put it? Did that bury it somewhere, or just throw it the ocean? Like I don't get it." I never thought of that.

"I don't know actually. I never thought of it. Maybe we can ask daddy." She shrugs and stands up.

"I don't even understand how she died still. I was to young. Now you guys won't even talk about her to me." She says walking away. I go after her.

"McKenzie, its hard to explain. I know that it isn't fair, bit you can ask about her. Its not a crime. We won't yell at you. Ask me something and I'll tell you if I know it." I say once we are inside. I pull her into a hug.

"How and where did she die." I almost start crying at this. I hug her tighter and close my eyes. I take a deal breath.

"She got a condition that makes your body temperate drop until its so cold that everything shuts down. Hers was so sudden and only gave her not even a day. We made the wedding plans for her and dads wedding, but that night, I heard a loud thud from their room. I then her sobbing from daddy. I went to check what happened. When I walked in, I saw mom on the ground shaking from being so cold. Daddy beside her with his head on her chest begging for her to stay. I started to cry and I went over to her. We wrapped a blanket around her and I went in it with her as daddy hugged us. My head was on her chest and I could hear her faint heartbeat. Then suddenly, her body went slack and I couldn't hear her heartbeat anymore. She died in our arms, McKenzie. We didn't want to tell you because we thought it would break you. We just wanted to protect you. Now you always have her with you in the necklace." By the time I'm done, I have sunk to the floor with her in my arms. I feel tears on my face. I feel her tears in my chest as she sobs a little. I stroke her hair. "I didn't want to hurt you. Neither did daddy." She pulls back and wipes her tears. I do the same and we stand up.

"Thank you for telling me that. I feel more compete now." She walks IP and I turn around, and go into the kitchen. I sit on the chair and rest my head in my arms on the table. I feel a hand on my back. I can tell its daddy, just by the way its built.

"So, you told McKenzie."

"She wanted to know. I didn't want to tell her no. She was her mother too."

"I know, and I'm glad you told her. I would never be able to do that."

"Wow, look who's getting all soft." I say poking his stomach. He laughs. I hear the ding of the elevator just as I'm walking out side. I don't bother though. I sit back down on the ledge. I don't know what to think at this point. I hear footsteps behind me, but I don't bother to look back. They sit down next to me.

"Hey." I look over and see Ashton.

"Hi."

"What are you thinking about?"

"To he honest, I don't know what to think anymore."

"Well, what do you want?"

"I don't know. I'm scare of what I want. That it will be the wrong thing, and something will happen to the people that I love and care about. I just don't know what I'm supposed to do, Ashton Daniels." I've been calling him that, and he's been calling me Emily Grace. I look up at him and see he is already staring at me. It gives me the chills
