Mating

Chapter 1

Sarah POV:
Today was the worst day of my life.I didn't anticipate for this day to come so soon.My parents funeral.I was only 17. And my 18th birthday was in less than a month.They were suppose to be here for that.But they're not.

I fix the black dress I had on.Me and my bough just two weeks ago.It seemed like forever ago.The little things seem to not matter anymore.I put in the silver jeweled earrings in and I put on a silver infinity necklace.

My hair was in its ringlets.And I also wore mascara and red lipstick.Similar to my mothers.I had always resembled my mother one way or another.And I had little features of my dad.I got my height from my dads side of the family. We also had the same eye color.Bright blue.

My brother had my mothers beautiful muddy brown eyes.But I had also been my parents little girl.I had been able to get out some trouble.But not all the time.I hear a knock and turn to see my brother.Jason.

"Are you ready?"He asks.I nod slightly. We walk to where the funerals was being held.

The person who is reciting the funeral talks about how good my parents were. And in truth,my parents were more than he was describing.The were the best parents a person could ask for.It then was time for the eulogy.Which was my job.I walk to the front of the room.I take a couple deep breaths.I never was too keen on speaking in front of people.

"Hello.I would like to thank everyone for coming.Im sure my parents would appreciate this.I know that my parents would do anything to make sure me and my brother are safe.And if they're out there somewhere,we are.And I know we will be."I pause."I got used to my parents being around.So not being able to bug them or ask them questions will be weird.Because Im going to do what they asked me to.And I know that they will be in my and everyone else's hearts they've ever met."

Everyone claps and we go to the reception at my house.Our my parents. For now my grandparents were staying with me at the house.But as of next week,I'll be living with Jason and his best friend in their studio apartment.
I've only been there a couple times,and
I still haven't met his friend.His name is David.

Everyone was mingling and talking about the loss of my parents.I quietly slip to my room and start reading a book I have been reading.It was 'Of Poseidon' by Anna Banks.It was really good.Theres a knock on my door when I get to the part where Galen takes Emma to the sunken ship.I mark my spot and see my Grandpa Frank.

"Hi."I say setting my book on my desk.I sit on my bed and he sits next to me.

"Everyone's leaving.Do you want to say goodbye?"He asks.

"Sure."I state and head back to the living room area.I say bye to all of my Aunts,Uncles,and all of my parents friends.Now it was just me,Jason, and both of our grandparents.

Our grandparents start to put the food away while me and Jason put the tables and chairs back down in the basement.We finish within 15-20 minutes.

I go to my room and take a shower.I get out after ten minutes and change into a random tshirt and shorts.I brush my wet hair and put it in a braid.I go under my covers and turn off my lights.I end up crying myself.
