A/N: I own nothing the characters are owned by Asher
Life is like an endless journey, until you have lived it all you will never know. But why do so few make it to the end? Is it because life is too much for them to handle? I never really understood until now…
One Shot:
This is the story of what would have happened if Clay would have stayed with Hannah that night…
The room was dark and Hannah looked so upset and I had no idea why.
"Hannah, are you okay?"
"No" She whispered to me
"Hannah, tell me what's wrong, you know you can tell me anything."
"Just go away Clay."
I started walking over to the door and I was about to open it when my feelings for Hannah just hit me flat out in my stomach. I never knew I could feel this way and it grew even more inside me as I looked back into her. She was sitting there crying harder than she was before but this time she was crying and rocking back and forth.
"Hannah, I am not going to leave you like this, please just talk to me."
Hannah was now crying harder at this point and she wouldn't even look up at Clay or even move for that matter.
"Please, let me help."
"If you want to help just please leave…"
As soon as she said those words I got an instinct to just hold her in my arms, so I did. I walked over there and I just let her cry into me.
"Clay don't leave."
Finally I was getting somewhere with her.
"I won't Hannah I promise, I love you."
"You do?"
"Yes I do, and I always have. Ever since you have moved here I have had a crush on you."
"I love you too Clay."
"So will you tell me what's wrong?"
Hannah finally looked up at me.
She started to say something but I couldn't really understand it.
"What did you say?"
"I can't live any-"
"Hannah, yes you can. You're wonderful and life would just suck without you."
"Clay a lot has been said about me and a lot has happened. I have been like this for a while."
"Please don't do this; life won't be the same without you. You know how I feel about you."
"I have already made up my mind."
"Please don't. You can't do this. Think of all of the people who love you."
"Clay no one will care if I leave this world."
"I will, I love you."
"I know you do but this is something I just have to do."
"I don't want you to end your life."
"Well if I'm still here tomorrow then you know that you made a big enough impact on my life to keep me here."
The next day:
I walk over to Hannah's house and see police cars and I know she is gone and that she ended her life. I tried so hard to keep her here. I felt so broken inside. I thought I was finally getting somewhere with her…
Why do so many come into this world and only a few survive?
