~Chapter Seven~

We were the first ones to get to the church. Bella's coffin was at the end of the room with hundreds of flowers surrounding it. It sent a sweet scent into the air even though this was a sad event. I looped my arm through Uncle Charlie's and gave him an encouraging smile. He nodded and led us to our seats in the very front.

It wasn't long before people started to arrive.

I met a few of Bella's friends. There was a girl with dark curly hair named Jessica and her boyfriend Mike, who had blue eyes and spiky blond hair. He seemed a little too friendly towards me and Jessica had to practically drag him away by the collar of his suit.

There was another girl with light brown hair named Angela and her boyfriend Ben. Both of them seemed very nice.

After Angela and Ben, I saw Billy and Jacob Black grinning at us.

I smiled back at them. "Hello"

"Hi" Jacob grinned.

"Again Charlie I am so sorry for your loss. Bella was an amazing girl when she hung out with Jake" Billy shook Charlie's hand before heading to find a seat.

I watched them go when I heard a man say.

"Hello Charlie"

It was a musical sound, beautiful. I turned around and met the gold colored eyes of a very handsome blonde man with a beautiful brunette haired woman next to him. They both had gold colored eyes and pale skin. The man wore a classic black suit and tie and the woman wore a beautiful dark blue knee length dress.

"Hello Carlisle, Hello Esme" Uncle Charlie smiled.

He shook hands with Carlisle and then Esme gave him a hug.

"We are so sorry about Bella" she said. Her voice sounded like wind chimes. She glanced at me and smiled. I noticed her teeth were straight and ultra white.

"Hello I'm Esme Cullen. And you are?" she asked.

"Oh my name is Thia Swan. I was Bella's cousin" I told her.

Esme's eyes turned a shade darker. "I am truly sorry for your loss0"

I nodded sadly. "Thank you"

I was surprised when she hugged me, I hadn't been expecting it. But I didn't mind. I hugged her back. I was surprised when I touched her skin. It was ice cold. It sent a shiver down my spine but I pushed it into the back of my mind. When Esme pulled away, Carlisle reached out to shake my hand. And again when our skin touched I noticed how cold his felt.

"Hello Thia. I'm Carlisle Cullen, I work at the hospital. I knew your cousin quite well. She was a very charming girl"

I smiled. "Thanks"

Both Carlisle and Esme said goodbye and went to go take their seats.

I turned to Uncle Charlie. "Cullen? Are they-"

"Related to Edward?" He finished for me.

I nodded.

"Carlisle and Esme adopted Edward, Alice, Emmett, Rosalie and Jasper. They moved down here from Alaska a few years ago" He said Edward's name through tight lips.

I heard the door open and I looked to see who was coming. I widened my eyes when I saw the guy with the bronze colored hair and the gold eyes walking down the aisle. It was the same guy from the picture in Bella's room, except he looked a hell of a lot more attractive in real life.

Edward.
