The girl staring at me is not the girl I use to know anymore. No one knows this girl much less likes this girl staring at me from the mirror. She looks exactly the same as she did a few months ago, but something's off... There is no life in her. She's lost the light in her eyes, the will to go on, and some of the most important people in her life in such a short time.
Leah walks out of her small bathroom and into her room and there she sees her black dress laying on her bed,reminding her even further that today was her dads funeral. She quickly turns and instead focuses on getting ready.
She goes an picks a bra and panties and can't help noticing how she seems to have stretched and even grown a cup size in such a short time. In just a couple of months she's seemed to grow four inches, but she quickly changes and puts the small black, a line dress. It's simple but elegant and it flatters her.
There is a knock on her door and her brother Seth walks in.
"Hey. You look nice." He says.
She can't help but notice how much he's grown so much, he didn't even look like her little brother anymore but a young man in his black suit and tie.
"Thanks. You do too. Is it time yet?" Leah says.
"Yeah there waiting for us downstairs" he says.
Seth and Leah make there way downstairs and there she sees Jacob Black, her mother, Billy, and Quill. With a silent agreement they make their way out the door and to the dreaded funeral.
Leah quietly accepts all the condolences everyone is giving her and hates the pity in everyone's eyes, but her father was a beloved tribal member and everyone wanted to pay their respect to her father.
After the funeral everyone goes back to her house but she doesn't she goes back to the one place she knows she can go and try to take in everything that's happened. First beach.
She quickly makes her way there and as soon as she gets there she instantly calms down. It's just as if a huge boulder has been lifted off of her. This place holds so many of the best memories she can think of. It's like her dad is now part if this spent so much time here together. It also reminds her of her first heartbreak... Sam.
That one thought instantly makes a sob rise out if her chest. Sam was her
Serious boyfriend, and he cheated on her with her best friend and cousin...Emily. She caught them having sex at his house one day after school. She thought that would be the worst day of her life but the worst day of her life was when she found out her father had died of a heart attack only three months later, and now here she was. Stuck in a living nightmare.
She kept her facade at school looking as If nothing had happened but inside she was breaking a small part of her everyday.
When she gathered herself as we'll as she could she started to make her way home not noticing how dark it had gotten and when she checked her phone she had 3 misses calls from her mother.
"Shit!"she cursed herself for worrying her mother at a time like this.
