Ok, so this is my 100 word challenge! Challenge accepted! Boom! Here we go. Warning: this won't be done for quite some time seeing that there will be 100 chapters, but do not fret. It will be done sooner or later just like everything else. This also means that I now have 3 projects that I am working on. Breathless; And Then There Were None and now this. Enjoy!
Title: Pictures
Claire dug through a box that had been collecting dust under her bed. She rummaged through the contents, pulling out old pictures and stuff of that nature.
One photo caught her eye…
It was a picture of their parent's right before they had died in a car crash. She was about ten or so, Chris being around seventeen. It was one of the most tragic days of their young lives. Not only had their parents died in a car crash, the city considered Chris old enough to hold up a job and support Claire at the same time. He was taking care of her twenty-four-seven.
When he had joined the Air Force after his eighteenth birthday, Claire was by herself most of the time, getting daily visits from Barry Burton, a family friend. She and Chris lived in an apartment downtown, living paycheck to paycheck and yet, life could get no better. They were there for each other in their times of need just like anyone else would.
A tear dripped onto the photo and Claire had realized she had been silently crying to herself.
She wiped them away, not wanting her lingering grief getting to her. She placed the photo back into the box and pulled out a mangled, one-eyed Teddy Bear.
"Claire-Bear…" She whispered.
She hugged the stuffed bear to her chest, breathing the sweet smell of her childhood before fate had snatched it away like a greedy child.
A/N: This will get somewhere… I promise! Tune in for the next!
