A Million Reasons (Clony)

Chapter 25

-19 years later-

"I-I juh-just want everything to stop." Clair, a high school girl cried in front of me. "I'm sorry for cru-crying."

"Don't be sorry." I placed a tissue box in front of her.

"Just forget it. You probably don't even know what I'm going through." She started to gather her bag.

"I do, actually." I started to unbutton the cuff of my sleeve. "Can you keep a secret?" She nodded. I rolled my sleeve up and showed her my scar that I made so many years ago. "My best friend killed herself in high school. So that sent me into a depression and I tried. If my best friend wasn't there, I wouldn't be sitting here."

"Do you stuh-still talk to him?" She asked me.

"I would hope so." I raised my hand to show the wedding ring. "I married him." She almost laughed, but it was mostly just a smile. "I just want you to know, because I have been there, and I was wrong, there is always someone there for you."

"Thanks."

"If you ever need to talk, I'm here." She nodded in response and I opened the door for her. "Bye."

I unlocked the door to our house and was surprised to see Tony home already.

He turned around to face me holding Kayla in his arms.

"How are my two favorite people in the world." I kissed him and grabbed Kayla and started swinging her in the air as she laughed.

"We're great. Dinners going to be ready soon."I hugged him.

"What would I do without you?"

"Nothing I guess." He smirked. I playfully slapped him on his shoulder. "I love you Clay."

"Well I love you more.."

This is kinda just an extra chapter I wrote real quick. I hope you all enjoyed this. I love y'all.
