a year later...
Quinn took Claire's advice and kept going. Clair was the only reason that Quinn could get up in the morning.. since she was gone her words became her inspiration.
Quinn usually dedicated her free time to speak to young teenagers about life. so that they don't take the wrong path.
on this day she decided to speak about Clair. although it broke her inside she thought that maybe just maybe someone in the crowd would take it in.
Quinn was in the middle of her speech when her last words caught one the children , a 14 year old girl's attention
(Clair thought that it would be better for everyone if she just killed herself but it wasn't. Clair thought that everyone would just soon forget about her because she thought of herself as nothing. but she was wrong. to this day I still go home and take a look at our old pictures and I cry . every single night I cry wishing I could've done something to prevent this from ever happening. she is the first person I think of when I wake up in the morning. )
"uhm Quinn?" said the girl. "yes?" Quinn asked. "is this a true story?" Quinn said " no my dear this is not a story this is a reality . a true tragedy. "
Quinn continued.. " I think that everyone if fighting a battle. every suicide, or suicide attempt is just another warning to us. that next time we should be more considerate about others feelings. because not everyone is strong. they cannot handle the hurt of this world. but the strong ones should help the emotional ones.the young girl took careful note of what Quinn was speaking about because she was going through the exact same thing.
Quinn asked the young woman what her name was. The girl vanished. She looked around to see where she was but there was no sight of her. She asked the other children if they saw her leaving but the others didn't know what and who Quinn was talking about. She thought she was losing her mind.That same night Quinn decided to take a walk to get some fresh air. Her mind was like a small kid at this point running up and down , except that it wasn't the children who was running wild it was her thoughts. As she walked pass one of her neighbours house she saw this light. She walked closer and saw the same girl she did earlier. She asked the young woman what her name was. She looked at her and said . "Quinn I am 14 years old now " Quinn wondered why she was telling her , her age. Quinn asked her to continue. The girl explained " everything you said was every thing I couldn't say. When I was 14 it was the happiest I've ever been. That is why when I died I was so happy. Because now I am stuck at the age I was happiest. " Quinn was shocked . She was completely silent. Finally her words allowed itself to come out. "Clair" she asked. The girl smiled and said " Quinn. I miss you just as much everyday. Every night I watch over you so that no evil may fall upon you" that is why Quinn didn't recognise her because they didn't know each other at the age 14. Quinn starting crying. While sitting on her knees in tears she held Claire's pale hands. both smiling at eachother.
before Clair vanished again she said "till we meet again " and kissed her on the cheek.
