"Today, is the day she died" Calum told me as I sipped my tea.

We were at a local coffee shop just talking.

"Quinn?" I questioned

"Yes" he said nodding.

"Cal, don't be sad she-" he interrupted me.

"Don't tell me to not be sad. Because that is all I feel right now. No one, and I mean no one can make me feel better"

I stood up from my side of the small round table, and walked over to Calum.

"I honestly don't know how you are feeling right now, Cal, but I want you to know that I feel you as a person, and I know that everything will be better okay?"

He looked at me, and then down at the ground, and stood up.

"Let's get out of here" he said before placing a quick kiss on my forehead.

As we walked outside the brisk air suddenly hit our faces, and Calum's hand instantly connected with mine.

"So how are you?" He asked, trying to get a conversation started.

"I am okay I guess. I quit my job the other week"

"Oh"

"Yeah"

The conversation quickly ended when fans started to approach him.

Calum let go of my hand walking over to them.

"How are you?" Girls screamed in his face, and he let out a small smile.

"Fine, and how are you all?" He asked.

The girls frantically smiled, and pushed each other to get closer to Calum.

"Hey, cal!" A girl yelled. "How do you feel having this be the day of Quinn's death?"

I quickly hit the palm of my hand to my forehead, sliding my hand down my eyes to my lips.

I knew her question wrecked Calum, and his somewhat okay feelings.

I watched from a distance as Calum tried to make his way back to me.

"I'm fine" he answered, quickly grabbing my hand as we rushed off.

"Woah! Are you two dating?" I looked at the girl who was in front of us.

Her hair was messily in her face, and she wore a flannel, and leggings.

I gave her no answer, Calum rushed us both away again, trying to get away from all the fans.

"This is going on twitter!" She yelled to the both of us.

"Calum stop!" I yelled. "What is wrong? Please talk to me."

"Brooklyn, c'mon and then I'll explain" he said tears running down his eyes, as he quickly wiped them away with his arm.

"Okay" I said, following after him.

We soon reached a grave yard, and I instantly felt sick.

"C-Calum, I don't want to" I said.

We stood in front of the grave yard entrance, and he looked back at me.

"If you loved me you would" his voice spoke quietly.

"Fine" I gulped.

We walked through the yard hand in hand, but me being a little bit behind him, not wanting to step on the stones.

I peered over the names on the stones, and they were wet since it had rained for the past couple evenings.

The sky was grey and white, and a huge dark cloud stayed over the yard indicating it was going to rain soon.

"Keep up" Calum groaned annoyingly.

I quickly picked up my pace, and continued walking.

We stopped in front of a stone that read

R.I.P
Quinn Leyla Arlo
"We love and miss our little angel" 1997-2013

I watched as Calum sat down in front of her stone, and silently cried.

"I didn't even bring flowers" he mumbled.

"I'm so sorry" he whispered. "I miss you"

"Calum" I said softly resting my head on his shoulder.

"Get off of me" he demanded.

I lifted my head off of his shoulder and stood up.

"Why can't you be her?" He asked.

"What?" I questioned.

"Why aren't you Quinn? Why can't you be her, here with me now?"

I was now enraged with anger. I know he's sad, but this is uncalled for.

But at the same time I was sad. I can't be the person Calum wants me to be, and I thought we were okay.

"Answer me" he demanded.

"Calum! Don't you see that I am not Quinn!?" I yelled. "I cannot be her, I never will be her, and I can never do the things she did for you! Can't you just face that she's dead? She is never coming back! And for you to ask me that, Calum. Can't you grow up? And face reality! Quinn is gone, and I am not her!"

I realized my words were harsh after I said them, but he deserved them.

I cannot be her, and never will I ever be her, and I will never change myself to be Quinn for Calum.

"Leave" he stated.

"What?"

"Do you fucking have hearing problems? I said get the hell out of here"

"Sure Calum, anything for you" I said sarcastically.

I quickly walked through the wet grass, and passed the stones to the entrance.

I began walking out of the alley, towards the streets when fans approached me.

"Brooklyn!" They yelled.

"Um, hi" I said, not knowing how to talk to them.

"Are you and Calum dating?" A girl asked.

I took a deep breath, running my fingers through my long hair.

"No, Calum and I are not dating, and if he says otherwise talk to him about it"

I said before storming off.

I reached my flat, and took off my shoes and jacket. I took a shower, and changed into some comfortable clothes.

"Calum doesn't mean what he said, he's just mad" I said under my breath.

"Everything will be fine." I said.

I thought about the situation some more and quickly dozed off.
