The Girl Next Door (gxg)

No Regrets

Three more bangs. I couldn't take it anymore. Hiding out in a booth of the London eye? That's not me. I needed to go out and help. I needed to find Oliver. He told me not to go for him, but I couldn't leave him there. I couldn't imagine a world without him. I needed to find him.

I noticed that Olly had left his jacket on the floor. I picked it up and felt something in the pocket. A gun? Why was there a gun in Oliver's pocket? I took a deep breath and ran out of the booth, the gun in my hands. I looked around, past all the running people and saw three men with guns in their hands as well. There were no bodies on the floor, nothing. A figure standing in front of one man caught my eye. They had their arms out and their legs shoulder-width apart. Like they were asking to be killed. I then noticed a tattoo on the person's right arm. "A bear." I muttered to myself, watching closely.

"Olly!" I waved my hands in the air to try and get his attention but he didn't move. The sketchy man in front of him put the gun to Oliver's chest. I aimed my gun at him, "Drop it!" I moved closer slowly. The man turned to look at me, pointing the gun away from Oliver. I was about to pull the trigger when I felt a bullet hit my arm. I fell to my knees and groaned in pain, holding my arm. "Hey! I told you not to touch her." Oliver shouted at the man, bringing his arms down. The man aimed the gun back up at Olly and reloaded. Oliver turned to me, "I LOVE YOU." He screamed and fell to the ground as i heard another gunshot. The dodgy guy ran away along with the other two. "OLIVER" I forgot about my arm and went running over to Oliver's body on the floor. I held his head with one hand and tried to do something about the hole in his chest with the other. "Hey, I'm right here. C-come on, you can do it." My voice cracked with every word I spoke. All I could hear was the painful coughing coming from my brother's mouth. "Don't go, I still need you. I need y-you to be there. Oli- please don't leave me," no tears ran down my face. Oliver looked up to me, "Do you remember what I said when I was about to leave for university? About the planets? That no matter how far apart they are-"
"-They're always together. Connected with the power of love. I remember telling you how sappy and cheesy it was, but I understand now." I finished his sentence as I watched him groan in pain. He smiled, "Hey. This isn't goodbye. I'll see you soon Y/N/N." I felt my lip quiver. I wanted to cry, I wanted to show some emotion. But I couldn't. I don't know why, but I couldn't. Oliver watched me as I tried to do something about his bleeding chest. "I-I can't stop it. I-I'm sorry." My breath wavered as I tried to finish my sentences. "It's okay, it's ok. Just breathe. You don't have to be sorry for anything. I've got you. I will never leave you. As long as you need me. I'm always going to be here for you. I promise." I looked at my older brother. I looked at the man who was my blood. I grew up with him. He was always there when I needed to talk shit about someone. Always there when I needed to chill or have some fun. But he was leaving me. And there was nothing I could do about it. "One day we'll meet again and explain what really happened. One day we'll finally understand. Until then, I hope you live your best life. I hope you do all things you said you always wanted to do. I hope you and Hermione have an awesome life together. Appreciate her Y/N, she's w-worth it. I hope Mum and Dad live long enough to see a grandchild. And I... I-I hope you never forget me." I chuckled a little, a tear finally rolling down my cheek, "Forget you? Only a fool could forget you. You're the best brother a girl could ask for. No regrets." 

"No regrets."
