I don't own Mako Mermaids or the work of the author this is in honor of. In case of confusion, this is a tribute to ClockWiseWiss, one of the fans of the show and a great writer. This chapter is in Rose's POV from Tails of a Half Blood, one of my stories that she constantly reviewed in. So this is my thanks to her.

The POV of Rosalina Paola Gomez

I walked around my room, ironing my black dress that I wore to the funeral. My cousin, Vanessa passed away. The whole Gomez family was upset. My mother even came but she left to avoid any conflict, even though I wanted to see her.

It had been 3 weeks since Vanessa's funeral and I've had the courage to look at the dress I wore to it. And now to school for a special memorial the school is planning. We're all going there, anyone who can. I also need my friends to be there for Evie. Vanessa and Evie worked together on the school paper and Vanessa had big dreams of becoming an actual writer. She would have written fantastic books.

People keep asking me, "How are you feeling? What are you feeling?"

Well honestly, I don't know what to even think or feel. What can you say about a 17 year old who dies?

People also want to talk about how she even died. Well I say, who cares? How she lived is more important.

This isn't real. She's going to be there. But the sad truth is, I'm going to spend my whole life missing her.
