LOGIN- n o w -Jen was ruffling my hair.Time didn't seem to stop but seemed to have gotten faster. Her eyes were puffy and I didn't think twice as I comforted her, sitting by her side. We both stayed at Claire's grave without talking."She was a sweetheart, wasn't she?"
- t h e n -She was always so calm whenever she sleeps.I should probably leave, I know. Jen never wanted me hanging around. Always called me filthy and dirty but Claire loved me.I loved her.
- t h e n -Claire was fumbling something in her cabinet drawer.It was of normal occurrence now when she cries. Ever since she told me she was sick, she cried most nights. I tried comforting her but she didn't like it when I did.
- n o w -I sat by her grave.A dozen flowers were laid by her headstone. I laughed a little, they never knew her.Clairehatedflowers.
- n o w -Claire's mother took time fixing her daughter's things.She was always present in her child's life. That's why it was a shock to her, Claire's death. There wasn't a time where she was less of a mother. Claire's father as well, they both loved their daughter very much.
- t h e n -Claire's turning thin.Either everyone noticed it and they didn't comment or they were too busy on other trivial things.I was just following her walk when she stopped abruptly. Coughing hard on her handkerchief.
