"Thia, that was amazing!" Uncle Charlie exclaimed in the cruiser on our way home from the funeral. I rolled my green-gray eyes.

"It wasn't that good, Uncle Charlie"

He looked at me, stunned. "Are you kidding?"

I laughed and shook my head. "Yes. I know I did really well. Everyone was so stunned they didn't start to clap until I sat down"

He chuckled and shook his head. The rest of the funeral had gone as planned, expect for the rain when they were lowering Bella's coffin into that six foot deep hole. Everyone had said hurried goodbyes and rushed to their cars. Uncle Charlie and I said one more silent goodbye to Bella before running for the dryness of the cruiser. Before I got into the car, I turned around for some reason and saw Edward Cullen staring at me from the other side of the parking lot. There was a small girl with dark black spiky hair standing next to him. She smiled when she saw that I was looking back at them. She waved and I couldn't help but give a small wave back.

"Are you hungry?" Uncle Charlie asked.

"Not really. I think I'll just take a nap when we get home" I told him. For some reason even though I got a good night sleep, I felt physically drained. If I closed my eyes I would probably have fallen asleep.

"Alright" Uncle Charlie mumbled, "I'll wake you up around dinnertime. And don't forget you have school tomorrow"

I nodded. "I know"

At soon as the cruiser pulled to a stop, I jumped out of the front seat and hurried towards the front door. I heard Uncle Charlie right behind me and he yelled a soft "Have a nice nap" before settling on the couch and watching another baseball game.

As soon as I walked into my room, I kicked off my heels. I was right about them killing my feet. They felt so sore. I changed from my dress to a loose, ratty t-shirt and my super soft sweats. I yawned and climbed under the covers.

It felt like I had been sleeping for five minutes when I heard Uncle Charlie yell my name.

"Thia, time for dinner!"

I yawned and climbed out of bed. I glanced at my reflection in the mirror. My hair was a knotty mess and I was wearing my ratty shirt and sweats. I shrugged and headed downstairs. Uncle Charlie wouldn't care what I was wearing unless we were having company which I seriously doubted. I ran down the stairs and into the kitchen.

"Hey Uncle Charlie" I called. "What's for-"

I noticed that there were two people already sitting at the kitchen table with a plate of spaghetti in front of them.

"Hey Thia" Jacob grinned widely at me.

I smiled back. "Hi"

"Billy and Jacob came over and asked if they could stay for dinner" Uncle Charlie said as he handed me a plate. "Help yourself. There is plenty spaghetti to go around"

I grinned and took a pretty good sized portion of spaghetti and took a seat next to Jacob. He widened his eyes at all of the food on my plate.

"Wow that's a lot"

I rolled my eyes. "I have a fast metabolism. It's from running on my old school's track team for three years straight not to mention playing offense on their soccer team. Plus you took a good portion of spaghetti too" I eyed the heap of spaghetti on his plate that could only be described as a small mountain.

"I'm a growing boy. I need to eat" I noticed that his russet skin got a little darker and he added,"So you like sports?"

I nodded. "Yeah, I tried to get Bella to play soccer with me when we were ten but she kept falling on her butt. She eventually gave up and went inside" I smirked at the memory.

Jacob laughed too. I glanced at him from the corner of my eye. He was definitely cute. No not even cute. He was hot. I felt my cheeks turn red and I quickly studied my plate. The rest of dinner was Uncle Charlie and Billy talking about the funeral, my singing voice and than the baseball game that was on soon.

"Since the game starts in fifteen minutes, why don't you and Jake just stay?" Uncle Charlie asked.

Jacob and I smirked at each other.

Billy nodded. "Sure but wait Jake, don't you have school tomorrow? What about you, Thia?"

"I don't mind going to bed late" Jake smirked.

I nodded. "Yeah, I do have school. Tomorrow's my first day but I don't mind going to bed late either"

Billy nodded. "Okay than, let's go"

"Yes!" Jacob and I said at the same time and high-fived each other. I flinched when our skin made contact. His skin was burning hot. I reached up on my tip-toes and put my palm on his forehead.

"Are you feeling okay?" I asked. "You're burning up"

Jacob removed my hand from his forehead and placed it on his cheek. "Your skin is nice and cold. It feels nice"

Before I could reply, he dropped my hand and followed his dad into the living room. All I could do was follow him.
