Title: I Remember Merton
Author: Dana Fox
Summary: Merton's former girlfriend, Caitence Flynn, reminisces about Merton's life: from the time she first met him to the time of his death.
WARNING: Obviously, character death (two people)
Disclaimer: The characters of the ABC Family show Big Wolf on Campus are NOT mine, but Caitence Flynn IS. Although, I wouldn't mind if I owned Merton!!!! (
NOTE: Every other part is in Caitence's point of view; the rest are written in third person (the introduction and the conclusion are written in third person). There'll be a little reminder of whose point of view it is at the beginning of each part. Also, this is just a 'trial-story'. That means that this story is just something I wrote to see is I could write about a character that wasn't in the show (Caitence). If it turns out that I can write well with this character, then there will be other stories including Caitence, but they will be as if this story had never happened (seeing as if it DID happen, Merton wouldn't be in any of them, and nobody wants that!! (). Enjoy!!
INTRODUCTION: WRITTEN IN THIRD PERSON
Caitence Flynn stood in the vast field that was the brand-new addition to the Pleasantville cemetery. Her fair-skinned face was streaked with tears as she looked at the crowd gathered around the new grave. 'He's only the second one to be buried here.' she thought. A figure, clad in a black suit, stepped up to Caitence's petite form.
"I'm sorry Tommy." Caitence said as she put her hand on the figure's shoulder. "I know this is a lot to handle for you." Tommy nodded, his head still facing the snowy ground.
"He was my best friend." He started to say. He was cut off by his own sobs. Caitence turned and embraced him. He cried into her shoulder.
"Shhh.I know. He was mine, too." She bit back the tears that were ready to fall.
"I can't." Tommy said, stepping out of Caitence's hug. "I can't stay here.It's too hard." His voice cracked from the tears. He regained his voice. "I lost two best friends in one year..." He glanced up at Caitence with the look of a small boy in his eyes. "Am I cursed?"
"No.No, Tommy, your not cursed." Caitence answered, rubbing his shoulder with her hand. 'But perhaps I am." she thought.
"I.I have to go..." Tommy said, turning to leave.
"Do you want me to drive you?" Caitence asked, worried.
"No.No, I'm fine." He responded.
"Alright.You take care of yourself.I'll come and visit after the grave is closed."
"OK." With that he walked away. As she watched him walk across the field, a single tear fell down her cheek. She wiped it away. 'Merton wouldn't want me to cry.' she thought. 'Poor Tommy. He thinks it's all his fault. But it's not. If it weren't for him, I would have never met Merton. It's my fault, really.If I hadn't agreed to meet Merton, then he wouldn't have been at my place when Lori-' She stopped herself. She knew that Merton's death was no one's fault. 'He wouldn't want me to cry.' she thought again. 'He would want me to remember.' She paused. 'I remember when I first met him.'
