To say Quinn wasn’t taking his sister’s death well was an understatement. Anyone who really knew Quinn, knew he was difficult to deal with, but anyone that knew both him and Finch knew that she was the one who knew him inside and out, that understood him and could pull him to reality. She was his twin sister and no matter how far apart they had been before, they were still two halves of one whole, and even Quinn would admit that she was his better half. The news of his sister’s death having gotten around to everyone and them trying to be sympathetic, avoid him, or share how they missed her only made him feel worse. On top of it all, he was essentially assigned a babysitter. Not just anyone, but Amelia Grace Taylor-DeLoughrey, one of the girls with an overly long and tiring name, who was supposed to still be a junior, yet was somehow now in his class, but worst of all, she was one of the people at the school that Finch was the closest to. Of all the goodie two shoes that he could of been stuck with, it just had to be her.
When Halloween came around and the senior class was spending the night in a haunted house, though there was the additional requirement of staying in groups, and of all the people there could have been in his group, there was one Amelia. Not only was she in his group, but just when he was beginning to think she was a no show, she walked up to him, saying how she wanted to be a “support system” for him. “You really want to be a support system for me? Come back after your twin sister dies.” Amelia may have been close to Finch, and had her own twin, but she still couldn’t understand what he was dealing with, her twin was alive and well. “You only have to babysit me at school, and that’s not where we are, so why don’t you go put your nose in a book somewhere instead of my business where you don’t belong, kid.” The closest to a fresh start for them Quinn could see happening, was simply not talking and staying out of each other’s way.
