I wake up and walk into my bathroom. ( After cleaning ) . I dry my hair with my towel, I stare at myself with the black dress on. I walk with my hair still dripping with water, I stare at clouds outside my window as they gather and form dark clouds. There is knock on my door and Jack walks in
"Morning Mia.... are you ready ?" He asks staring at my wet hair.

I nod my head. But he shake his ,
"you can't leave your hair wet Mia you going to catch a cold" he says with concern in his voice but I couldn't care less. He guides me to my dressing table and plugs the hairdryer and starts drying my hair. He finishes after a few minutes,and the room is filled with silence.

My phone rings and I look at it with a dead look, it feels like I don't have any energy to do anything. I tap the answer button and slowly put the phone to my ears. My aunt's voice can be heard on the other end.
"Morning baby " she says softly
"All the arrangement are complete baby I'm waiting for all the people to arrive" she say barely finishing it. I don't reply to her and I can hear her soft cries.
"I'm on my way " I say like robot.

Jack and I leave my room and make our way to the car. A few of the pack members give me there condolences, I nod it response to them. We leave the pack house and pass Alex's house on the way out. Jack speaks to me about security at the funeral but I just stare at the dead trees.

Time skip at the funeral


" Today we are here to rest the Rose family who were friends and lovers to many, may their souls rest in peace in our beloved father's hands amen" say the pastor as he sprinkles holy water on their coffins. I sit next to my aunt who cries uncontrollably, and from back you can hear the faint cries and whispers.

"Now I would like to call the daughter of the Rose family whose legacy lives on it her." Says my cousin once the priest finished his prayers. I wake up with the help of Jack and walk slowly to the little stage made of wood. I stare at the crowd and all I see are familiar faces who smile at me soft trying to give me courage. I look at the end of the crowd until I spot one unfamiliar person in black. He looks at me and I can almost feel the intensities of his eyes.

"Mia !" My cousin calls from side of me break our stare. I turn to her and she ushers with her hands to read. I look back at the man but his not there. I  look down at my folded and squashed page, I slowly open the page uncovering small amounts of my handwriting until I can see a full page.

I hold the small mic on the stand adjusting it. I look at the page reading the first line. I open my mouth but the words don't leave it, my eyes immediately waters clouding my vision and my stomach dropped. My heart aches as I hold my chest I look at families coffins and my legs can't hold me no more. Tears rain from my checks causing whispers from the crowd.

My cousin walks on stage and tries to embrace me I put her hands away. Jack looks at me like all the other people gathered here. I shake my head and run dropping the note, I can hear Jack's voice and my cousins as they both call out for me, but I run as fast as I could into the forest, I run until I can't hear nothing not the mourners or the town itself.
