We all die in the end

Chapter 7 - END

I woke up and saw the group standing around me on a hill.
I slowly got up and the first thing I saw was the school.
"The bomb will go off any second now...." A woman said behind me.
I turned around with wide eyes and right as I did I heard a loud explosion.
I didn't know what to think anymore.
I wasn't surprised, not even a little bit.
All I could think about was Ace and Dylan, wishing they told me.
Maybe they would be alive then.
I felt absolutely useless in this moment.
I watch as the school burned.
A second later a hand appeared on my shoulder.
I turned around and saw a very familiar face.
It was Dylan.
My eyes went wide and I quickly stood up.
"Dylan...? H-How are you alive?! You were shot 5 times!" I said in surprise.
"It was someone else who looked like me."
He gave me a smile and opened his arms.
"I'm sorry I didn't say anything."
I was about to run into his arms until I realized something.
Why would he be with this group?
Why is he in the same outfit??
That's when I realized....
This was all his plan.
I just stood there.
"What's wrong? Aren't you happy to see me?" He asked.
"I...I'm very happy." I walked up to him and gave him a hug.
We pulled away from the hug.
Dylan smiled and started to move in closer to me, but right before he could kiss me I grabbed his gun.
"D-Don't move!" I shouted.
Dylan looked surprised.
"Why did you do this...why did you have to kill them all?! Why did you have to kill Ace...he was your friend!"
I heard a gun click and immediately shot the person and they fell.
I was surprised that I did.
Dylan looked surprised as well.
Everyone started to circle around me with their guns pointing at me.
"I'm not gonna hurt you." Dylan said.
I didn't know what to say.
I turned around and I heard a loud bang.
I quickly duck down and then heard another shot after another.
When there was silence I looked up and saw that everyone was lying on the ground, except Dylan.
"What happened?" I questioned looking at all of the bodies.
Dylan looked over at me.
"One tried to shoot you and then the rest followed, so I had to kill them before you got shot." His eyes were slightly wide.
I stood up and aimed my gun at Dylan.
"Why are you aiming your gun at me?? I just saved you from being shot!" He pointed at all of the bodies.
"You killed the whole school! And Ace! How could you kill him?!" I yelled.
He looked down.
"I didn't want to. I was told to." He said looking at his gun.
"What's that suppose to mean??" I questioned.
"My father, he hated Ace. He hated the fact on how he supported my dream of being an Author." Dylan clenched his gun.
"My parents didn't want me to be a doctor, they wanted me to be an assassin."
I was confused.
I didn't know how I was supposed to feel right now.
Dylan dropped his gun.
"Please, forgive me." He asked.
I made an angry expression.
I walked up to him and pushed him to the ground; I pointed the gun to his head.
"I...can't." I replied.
I felt my sight to go blurry.
I quickly rubbed away my tears.
Dylan looked at me with a sad look.
"I'm glad you're the one to take me out."
I felt a fire start to form and I bursted.
"Stop! Stop trying to make me seem like the bad person!" I slightly shouted.
"It's not like I want to do this! I would've love if we...." I couldn't even finish my sentence.
I could feel my hands start to tremble.
"I should've killed you sooner, if you were gonna be such a wuss about all of this." Dylan laughed.
"I guess I should also say it was an act, everything. Every time I was with you I had to put on a front. Act happy, and act like I liked you." He gave me an evil smile.
I felt my hands go steady again.
"Just shoot me, it's not like I'm important to you." He started to laugh but then was cut off by a shot.
I shot him right in the heart.
I kneeled down in front of him and saw that there was a smile on his face.
I closed his eyes and dropped the gun.

Here I am sitting on the edge of the tallest building in this town.
Still able to see the smoke from the once burning school.
Weird to think that I was only there for a month.
I only knew them for a month.
Yet, I still knew that Dylan was lying.
The whole time I knew him he was never acting.
I kinda wish I could go back to the day where I met Ace and Dylan. Just to remember what it was like before everything went downhill.
I stood up with the tips of my toes on the edge and jumped.
don't say I didn't warn you.
