As always, I do not own Twilight or it's main characters.
I stood in front of the mirror just staring at myself. I didn't have any makeup on, I still had stitches and a few bruises on my face and I was all dressed in a black suit.
There was a knock on the door. I looked and saw Esme standing there.
"It's time to go." She said softly.
"I don't want to go." I said my voice breaking. "If I go…I..I'm admitting that he's gone. I…I don't want that." I began to sob.
She walked over to me putting her arms around me. "Shh…Bella, dear as long as he is loved and remembered then he is never truly dead. He'll always be with you. We'll be with you every step of the way, everyone's going to help you through this. I promise."
"I can't say goodbye. I'm not ready to say goodbye."
"I don't think you'll ever be ready for that. But...it's time, dear. Danny now lives on where it really matters. He'll be in your heart forever."
I wiped my tears away and nodded.
"We need to go." She lead me out of the apartment and to a limo waiting for us. Everyone was already inside when I climbed in. I sighed, it was time face reality, this wasn't a dream, it was happening.

I sat next to Danny's parents, staring straight ahead. I couldn't tear my eyes away from the coffin, inside the box was the person I loved. The pastor had finished his speech and was now was blessing him as his casket suspended over the hold. When he was done, he looked over at Danny's parents and signaled them to step forward. They rose at the same time and walked over. Each bent down and dropped a white rose onto his coffin.
Next t was my turn, Alice squeezed my hand for encouragement. I slowly rose and stepped forward. I watched as the coffin was slowly lowered. I grabbed a handful of dirt and dropped it into Danny's resting place. My body began to shake slightly and tears flowed down my face. I collapsed onto the ground, my chest rising and falling rapidly. My body was shaking hard, I wrapped my arms around me trying to control myself.
Alice pulled me to my feet, wrapping an arm around my waist. I allowed myself to be lead way from the coffin and back to where the cars were parked. I climbed into the back seat and gazed over to where Danny lay buried. Alice climbed in the car next to me and the car pulled away from the cemetery. As the site began to disappear in the distance, I closed my eyes and mumbled, "I love you, Danny."

I had been washing my face in the bathroom and began to dry it. I looked in the mirror, sighing, my eyes were blood shot red from all the crying I had been doing. I walked into the living room, over to the chair near the window and sat down. I stared out for awhile when I heard the doorbell rang.
Carlisle quickly moved and answered the door. A few seconds later he walked back into the living room with Danny's parents and another gentleman.
"Bella, you have guests." Carlisle said.
"Tell them to go away." I said harshly.
"Hello, Bella, sweetheart."
I looked over and saw Danny's mom. "I'm sorry. I didn't …" I got up and hugged each of them. "What are you doing here?"
"Bella, we came here for something to discuss the will."
I looked at him. "Will? I don't understand."
"Bella, this is Mr. Whitley, Danny's lawyer and he is here to discuss the contents of Danny's will with us."
I shook his hand. "Hello."
"Hello, Miss Swan."
We all sat down in my living room while Carlisle and Esme excused themselves and went into the kitchen to give us some privacy.
The lawyer pulled a folder from his briefcase. He pulled out a pen before placing the document on the coffee table. He motioned for me to come over, but I didn't move.
"Miss Swan, all you have to do is sign. Danny was very specific, with the exception of a few things, everything else is yours." My eyes widened and I glanced at his parents.
"No…I… that can't be right." I looked over at the lawyer. "There must be some mistake."
His mom spoke up. "Bella, there is no mistake. Harry and I are were present when Danny updated it two months ago."
I jumped up from my seat. "Why…leave me everything? Why would he do that? What about you? What about his siblings?"
"We got everything that Danny wanted us to have. Bella, please, don't fight this, Danny specifically wanted everything to go to you."
I sighed in defeat. "Fine." I grabbed the pen from the lawyer and I scribbled my signature.
He retrieved the paper and stuck it back in his briefcase. He pulled out a manila envelope and opened it. He pulled out a set of keys and laid them on the table. "Here's a key to his apartment."
Next he pulled out a small envelope and handed it to me. "This letter is for you, Miss Sawn."
I nodded, taking it in my hand. My name was written in Danny's handwriting.
"The saving account has already been transferred into your name and the money in his main account has already transferred to yours, all you have to do is sign here."
"What money?" I asked in shock.
"Everything he had in his accounts are now yours."
"I don't want it. Transfer everything to his parents."
"Bella, we don't want it. Please sign it." His dad said begging.
I found my self defeated again. I leaned over and looked at the paper and hesitantly signed it.
"We have one more thing for you, Bella. This wasn't in the will but it was in his safety deposit box. Candace and I have decided it was meant to be given to you eventually and we want you to have it." His dad pulled out a small black box from his jacket pocket and handed to me.
My hands were shaking as I took it. I opened it and gasped. Inside was a beautiful heart shaped, multi-stone diamond ring. I was absolutely breathtaking.
"I should be going." The lawyer stood up, snapping his briefcase shut. "In this manila envelope are all the documents including a copy of the will and bank slips. It's nice to meet you Miss Swan. I am sorry about your loss, Danny was a great man and he loved you a lot, always remember that."
I was still looking at the ring, speechless, only able to nod.
"You've probably figured out what that is. It was for you, Bella, and we want you to have it." Danny's mom pulled me into a hug. "We love you Bella, very much. We are glad that you tripped into Danny's life." We all laughed. I had literally tripped into his life. "We need to go as well, we are heading home. Promise to keep in touch.""I love you too, I promise to keep in touch." I gave each a hug and they left.
Esme and Carlisle came back into the living room. Esme quickly came over and wrapped her arms around me. "Bella, are you ok?"
I sat there clutching the letter and ring in my hands, staring straight ahead. Tears were silently slipping down my cheeks.
"Bella, why don't you lay down? You've only been released today and should rest." Carlisle said softly.
I nodded my head, grabbed the picture frame, the letter, and ring and went into my room. I laid on the bed, crying.
