~KAI~

Me and Athena were looking at each other. I grabbed her weapon and she grabbed mine as we both pulled it to our temples. I was ready to die for her and she was too. I needed to figure out which one had the blank bullet and which one had the sharp one.

"I won't let you die." I said as I was looking at Athena. I wasn't gonna let her die, she was everything I ever needed and wanted and after all this time I lost with her cause of my own mistake I wasn't gonna loose her again.

Maybe she would loose me but she is stronger than me. She can move on but I can't and even if she was the one to loose this sick game I swear to myself that I will kill every bastard that ever even laid a hand on her and that I will be forever faithful only to her.

"I won't let you die either." Athena said looking at me. Her hand was on the trigger, she was ready to shoot but I was too.

"Remember how I once told you that if anything like this would happened, I would never be able to live in the world where you don't exist? Athena please give me that gun." I said, almost begging her.

"Kai. I just got you back." She said as tears clouded her vision. I only saw Athena cry few times. She was strong and independent and she had a rule about crying.

"None of my tears belong to my fears."

Even if she was scared to death she would never cry. Her expression was always neutral. The last time I saw her cry or at least her eyes be glossy was when she left cause of me and she wants to leave again but now it's gonna be forever.

"Thena, please." I said in whisper as my own tears started to cloud my vision. For fuck sake.

I stretched my hand out for her so she would give the gun to me. She looked down at my hand and then at me, right into my eyes. Athena slowly pulled the gun away from her temple as she slowly gave it to me. Her soft sobs were making my heart clench.

She didn't want to let go of the gun.

"Please." I said softly as she slowly let go of the gun. She stood up from the chair that she was sitting in and walked towards me. I looked up at her as she leaned down and kissed me.

I savoured the feeling of her lips on mine. I knew my brother, he might be a liar but I knew he wasn't playing and that one of us is gonna die today and I want it to be me. She slowly pulled away from my lips and I saw tears pouring out of her eyes.

Athena's eyes were glimmering under the light that was above us. She broke her rule, she let the fear of loosing me affect her and I didn't blame her at all cause I knew that my own eyes were one hundred percent teary too.

"I love you." She said quietly as she slowly turned around. I saw her shoulders rise and then drop as I heard her taking in shorts breaths probably trying to keep her tears in.

I put a gun to my head and closed my eyes, accepting my fate. Behind my closed eyes I saw Athena, she was smiling at me. She was happy. I saw the life that we dreamed of.

Little house in middle of nowhere with dogs, cats and kids. Little me and her mixed together into one tiny human. Beautiful hallucination that my brain made up.
