Disclaimer: I own nothing!
On the way home Bella and I got to know each other. We were alike in many ways. For example, we both came to forks in our high school years and fell in love with vampires and had problems with jealous werewolves. It was like history was on a big loop and there were only small changes in how one year was different than another.
I enjoyed talking with Bella and apparently, she like talking to me too. The sadness in her eyes lightened and she seemed more cheerful. All too soon though it left and the car stopped. We were at my house and I looked to her in confusion.
"My house is just a block from here." She said solemnly, "You better go. Benjamin will be here as soon as he can. I would stay but I need to go to my Charlie's funeral."
"Oh Bella, I'm so sorry. Why don't I go with you? I know we don't know each other well but you shouldn't go alone." My words were stopped by a bone crushing hug. A smile was on her lips as she released me.
"Go leave a note for Benjamin, so he doesn't think you've been kidnapped." I rushed out of the car and scrawled a note. I folded it and left it between the front door and its frame; something we made up when we were younger. I ran back to the car.
"Thanks for doing this Jenna. I really appreciate it." She said as we drove off. "I was going alone because it hurts Edward to see me so sad, he will be grateful that you're coming."
There were very few people already there when we arrived. We parked and got out. I was surprised when we reached the other people and Bella didn't hide. I looked down in confusion and almost screamed. My feet weren't there! Bella put her hand on my mouth to prevent it.
She whispered softly in my ear, I only barely caught it. "It's just my force field. I made us blend in the background." I nodded.
The funeral itself seemed too outdone for Forks. I recalled that Bella said she sent a letter and money to the Newton's explaining what she wanted to be done for the funeral. I looked at Bella, wondering why I could see her and not my own feet. She looked like she should be crying. I gave her a tight hug, trying to convey comfort and soothe her pain. We were the last to leave. Once the Newton's, the last ones, left Bella switched off her shield and walked to the grave.
She started whispering to herself. I became uncomfortable but I felt obligated. I felt it was my job to comfort those who needed it. I wasn't able to be soothed after I thought I lost Benji. I knew how it felt to feel alone in the world and I vowed to help whoever needed consolation.
Bella got up. She stood straighter and the sadness that had been in her eyes since the day I met her was gone. We hugged tightly again and as she drove me home she expressed how thankful she was.
