RECAP
"Claire?"
"I know, but I need to be with my my parents right now, they're waiting for me. Among the stars."
"Okay, Claire. Listen to me. I love you, I love you more than I can put into words. I know you're feeling like absolute shit righ tnow because of your parents, I understand, I dont have my parents either and I know this is worse for you because your parents actually loved you and you loved them, but Claire, its all going to be okay. Its hard right now but its all going to be so much better when you realise that you have so many people that love you and care for you. I can't live without you Claire, if anything ever happened to you I would never be able to cope with myself for letting you out of my sight. I couldn't live without the way you are - - - - - - - We can help you baby, I will help you, I promise. Just come back..."
"I love you Shane." She was crying now. Sobbing so hard that I could barely understand what she was saying. "I'm sorry."
"Baby, pl-"
The line went dead.
CHAPTER 4
Claire's POV
Crying was a strange aspect of life. Water leaked from your eyes in a bid to make you realise how sad you really are. It's funny really, I cried and cried and cried but as I tasted the salty tears that ran down my face on to my dry lips, I smiled. It reminded me of my mother. She dried my tears every time I cried when I was little. Now look at me, I had tear streaks down my face. If my mum was still here, it would be different.
I listened to every word Shane said on the phone. Every. Single. Word. It made my stomach turn and my head spin. I liked it. But I knew I couldn't live of Shane's words. I couldn't rely on him to make me happy, that was selfish. Shane couldn't take that pressure. So, in a way, I'm doing this for him as well, like I'm freeing him.
I exclaimed my love for him, told him I was sorry, and hung up the phone. It wasn't the perfect goodbye, but it was something. Something he can remember.
I slid the phone into my coat pocket and whimpered into my hands. Just to think it will all be over soon.
I picked myself up from the park bench and made my way towards a huge tree, in my opinion, the nicest tree in Morganville.
As I aproached the tree I felt myself begin to slow my pace. I frowned into the distance. Behind the tree... I saw something... someone. I picked up my pace, curious to see who the figure is. I recognised the stance they were in.
As I got closer, I spotted long-ish, dark hair flowing in the wind along with a long, thick trench coat.
"Myrnin?" I spoke quietly. He stepped forward with a small smile on his face.
"Little Claire, going so soon?"
"What?"
"You want to end everything just because your parents have been sadly killed?"
I shook my head and slightly rolled my eyes. "You don't understand."
"Oh, but I do Claire. I understand so much that I won't stop you trying to end your life."
I frowned. But frankly didnt care what he wanted or thought anymore. I only cared about my parents.
"I could make things a whole lot easier for you, Claire." He started walking towards me, slowly reaching into his pocket. He stared at me as he pulled out a small tub and handed it to me.
"Whats this?"
"What does it look like, Claire."
"Pills?" I frowned as I examined the tub of pure white pills.
"Yes, Claire. You wanted to leave and be with your parents, I'm giving you an easy way out."
I looked down at the pills and chuckled slightly. "Yeah, because five whole pills are going to do the job. Well, at least I wont have a headache anymore." I threw him a cocky smile and popped the lid.
"Claire, they're a unique pill. By taking all five, you will die a quiet, peaceful death. No pain what so ever. You have to take all five though."
"Why are you doing this? It's like you really want me dead. You were being really nice to me this morning at Pete's, now you want me to kill myself?"
"I want what you want Claire. Whatever makes you happy. I don't want you to suffer, It will be hard for us all to lose you but I don't want you to be in pain for the rest of your short life. Take the pills Claire. Do it."
He was acting weird, really weird. But I didnt have time to ask him questions about his behaviour. I didnt care. I spilled all five pills onto my palm and one by one, swallowed.
Myrnin stared at me for a while, a smile tugging at his lips. He stepped forward and rested his hand on my forehead. "Good girl." He whispered before I fell unconciously into his arms.
