~Thia's Point of View~

I enjoyed watching the game with Uncle Charlie and Billy but for some reason Jacob made me nervous. He kept staring at me like he was a blind man seeing the sun for the very first time. I heard the door open and close. Billy and Jacob must have finally headed home. There was a small creak as Uncle Charlie made his way up the stairs. A soft click of a door closing and I knew that he was in his room.

I finally started to relax but it was weird. I was sleeping in my dead cousin's bed. The room still smelled like her and I had this feeling that someone was watching me. I sat up and looked around the dark room. I gasped when I thought I saw someone standing by my closet but when I turned on my light it was just a coat hanger.

I rolled my eyes and turned the light off again.

"Thia you're just freaking yourself out like you always do. Just relax and go to sleep. You have a long day tomorrow" I whispered to myself.

I closed my eyes and listened to the wind howling right outside my window. It seemed like forever but I finally fell asleep listening to that one sound.

"Thia, it's time to get up" I heard Uncle Charlie's voice and opened my eyes. I yawned and stretched under the covers.

"Good morning" I smiled at him.

Uncle Charlie smiled back. "Good morning. There is leftover pizza in the fridge if you're hungry. We don't really have time to eat anything else"

I looked at him wondering what he meant but than I remembered what today was.

Bella's funeral.

I got up from my bed, throwing the covers to the floor and hugged him. He hugged me back, tighter than I expected. We stood there for a moment until Uncle Charlie broke away. He was crying again. I bit my lip and wiped one of the tears away, smiling sadly.

"It's going to be okay, Uncle Charlie, I promise"

He nodded and headed back down stairs. I walked into the bathroom and took a shower. The warm water woke up me and also relaxed me. I wanted to stay in there forever but I knew Uncle Charlie was waiting patiently downstairs. I turned the water off and dried off my skin.

I brushed my hair and put it into a messy, yet elegant bun. I slipped on a knee length black dress with spaghetti straps. I didn't put on any makeup because I didn't need it. My eyelashes were already long and it looked like I always had mascara on. My skin was flawless, so no need for cover-up or blush. I smiled at my reflection and headed back to my room.

I put on a silver pendant in the form of a sand dollar. It was a gift from Bella for my sixteenth birthday. I had given her a similar necklace only it was a heart shape pendant. I slipped my feet into, in my opinion, sexy black high-heels even though by the end of the day they would be killing my feet.

I walked downstairs into the living room.

I smiled and said. "I'm ready, Uncle Charlie"
