You hesitated slightly before entering your bedroom. Looking back over your shoulder, you see Nat disappear into the other room. When you enter, the room is dimly lit by the read light beside your bed, you see Wanda has fallen asleep while reading her book.

You quietly creep around the room to get your pyjamas, checking again that Wanda is sleeping before underdressing, you are pulling your pyjamas bottoms up when you lose balance and crash to the floor,

"Shit" you half whisper, half shout,

"Are you okay?" Wanda says half asleep, getting out of the bed almost immediately, you see her eyes go wide at you in your underwear, before you see her try to hold back her laughter,

"It's not funny" she tried to convince herself,

"Are you sure" you say getting up and pulling up your bottoms in the same motion,

"You are the most clumsy person I know" she laughed, handing you your top,

"Thank you" you say grabbing it from her, you both head over to the bed, and instinctively she puts her arms around you while you cuddle into her, you noticed she smells like you,

"I used your perfume earlier, I forgot to pack some" she said, you slowly tilted your head to look at her,

"I did it again" she realised,

"Yep"

"Are you annoyed?" she asked,

"No, sometimes it's nice not having to talk" you said, resuming your place on her chest, you relaxed as her chest moved up and down,

"How are you feeling about tomorrow?" she asked,

"I'm trying really hard not too" you respond,

"It will not be an easy day, but we are all here for you" she squeezed you tighter,

"Thanks for being here Wanda" you say, your thoughts go to your mum, and how she was upset earlier,

"I think your sister is having a sleepover with your mum tonight" It made you feel better that she wasn't alone.

You didn't realise you had fallen asleep until you heard the knock on your door, you reached out to Wanda to find that she was no longer in the bed,

"Morning y/n, how did you sleep?" Wanda asked as she came through the door,

"Surprisingly well" you respond, knowing that she was the reason you had slept well,

"I thought I would make some breakfast this morning, give you all a bit of a break" she said,
letting you know it would be ready in 5 minutes.

You make your way out to the kitchen to find almost everyone at the breakfast table, you see your aunt and uncle talking to Nathan and Peter, while the girls are having a conversation of their own.

Wanda was just finishing the eggs, so you helped her bring the plates over to the table.

"Thank you for making breakfast Wanda, we all appreciate it" your mum said, you smiled at Wanda and she smiled back, telling your mum that it was no trouble.

The rest of the morning becoming a became a bit of an out of body experience, you went through the motions of getting showered, dressing in black, and straightening your hair, but it isn't until the funeral director and pastor are in the room going over everything that you start to realise what is happening.

During the private family service at your house, a wave of emotion overcomes you, and you start to silently cry, you try to look up to stop the crying, but can't, as it hits you that this is really happening. Your sister puts her hand on your back, her eyes also filled with tears, she extends a hand to your mum to offer her support.
