1 Prologue

I didn't want the last thing I see in my life to be my best friend pointing a gun to my head. It wasn't even that, it was the fact that they actually wanted to do it. To shoot someone they've spent their whole life with, and it hurts more than a bullet ever could. I could see it in their eyes, they've wanted to do this for so long now and the fire burning inside was finally going to be free. All the hatred he had concealed inside was going to be released in one bullet, one simple bullet.

I couldn't take it any longer, I closed my eyes and balled up my fists, bracing myself for what was to come. But instead of feeling my own tears and hearing my own cries, I heard theirs. And when my eyes open, whatever was going to be my fate, had now become theirs. The tables had turned and I was still conscious, but the person I loved most was no loner my friend, and no longer my partner, but my innocence that will be buried under the stone with their name carved upon. And the gun that was sat in my palm.
