AN: Okay, so here's a character I don't do much. Inspired by lyrics from "It Ain't Me Babe" by Johnny Cash and June Carter
Once again I was standing on the platform of the train station, ready to say good-bye to another friend. Though this wasn't just any friend - this was Quinn. The girl who had lost her virginity to me. The girl with whom I had brought a baby into this world with. Nothing could ever change the bond that was created during those events.
But despite Quinn's claims that she still loved me, and perhaps she did, I also knew that she was destined for something more. Yale was going to open a whole new world to her and before she knew it, she was going to forget about me and Lima and the times we had shared here.
Pulling her close, I gave her one more hug good-bye. Perhaps our very last hug ever.
"You sure you won't change your mind," she whispered, holding onto me just as tightly as I was holding onto her.
"This is for the best. You'll see," I whisper back, before kissing the top of her head.
And then she is stepping away and heading for the train. I turn away before she reaches it, not wanting to see her step onto it and out of my world.
