Our Little Secret

Kade (33)

"Kade," Roman says weakly.

I look at him, from the floor. It pains me seeing him like this.

"Please, tell my mom-"

"No, no!" I cut him off.

"Awww, do y'all need a minute."

I don't even look at him. I never knew my best friend would betray me.

"Why are you doing this?" I ask.

"Because. You get everything you want. I never get anything. Im taking what's yours and im making it hurt. Im showing you how much you took from me."

"Jason, why didn't you walk to me?"

"Because you fucker, I didn't want your pity!"

He's making no sense.

"You guys have 5 minutes to talk. The front doors are locked and the alarms will go off if you try to leave. Don't try anything." He says pointing the gun at me.

I quickly go over to Roman.

"Baby, im so sorry I never should have left. Im so sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay."

"I'm gonna get you out of here. Don't give up on me now. Baby you have to stay strong. Im gonna get you home and clean you up and we're gonna-"

"Kade, please just stop. I love you so much. Know that i love you so much."

"Stop it Roman!" I say as my voice breaks.

"Please, this- it can't be-"

"The end of us. I know, it's not my love, we will always have each other."

Im crying now. He sounds so weak. So tired. Im going to kill Jason.

"I love you, Roman. With all my heart."

"I love you Kade. With my whole body."

I kiss him. He deepens it, kisses me like he never has before.

Jason

I let them have five minutes to themselves. Im trying to come up with a plan. Who do I want to kill first. I could let Roman watch Kade die then kill him.

Or I could do it the other way around. But then it hits me, the perfect plan. It's evil, but it will work, just the way I want.

I walk back into the room and find them with their heads pressed together.

"Damn, do y'all wanna fuck too?" I say laughing to myself.

I grab the knife that's next to Kade and stab him without a thought. He grunts and pressed his hand over the wound.

Oh I hurt Roman, and know he can watch me hurt Kade.

I stab him more, kick him around, I even debate pulling my gun out again. But I enjoy this moment. Seeing the hopelessness in Kades eyes.

I let him feel all the pain he never has had. Because he had everything handed to him. Im doing him a favor.

He backs away from me, trying to catch his breath. Roman screams behind me.

"Stop! Stop! Please! Hurt me, not him!"

I should've kept the cloth in his mouth.

"Oh my god shut up!" I shout.

"You know, I always did this dirty work for you Kade. Maybe that's why you hired me. Because I'm so good at what I do." I talk down to him.

I grab the bloody knife and cut Roman free. He slumps to the floor and Kade crawls over to him with the very last of his energy to him.

"Baby, it's okay, I got you."

"Ew get a room." I say.

I let them lay there on the floor. Im ready to go through with my plan. But before I do I pause. Is this really me? I mean what do I have left to lose. But do I want to do this.

I've never done anything like this to someone I know. Someone I trust. My mind is pretty fucked up anyways. I owe a lot of money to a lot of people. And my parents died. So really, I'm fine. I have nothing to lose.

Im probably going to rot in hell anyways so I mind as well live out my glory. Get my final seconds of winning.

Kade took so much from me. But he also gave me opportunities. He gave me a friendship that has lasted over 10 years. So I'm allowed to feel bad.

I've been draining all the money out of the accounts the mafia has. All the money he stole, or took, or earned. But what did that really do for me.

I look down at Kade and i see him reaching for his gun.

"Don't fucking try anything" I say pulling out mine too.

I wait for the right moment. I aim right at kade. He aims at me. We stay like this for a moment. He hesitates. He knows what he's giving up too.

We stare at each other. Not moving.

"Shoot! What are you scared of!" I say

"Shut up! Just stop this. Jason please. Just drop your gun and I'll drop mine. We don't have to end it like this."

His words don't move me. They make me more angry. He just wants to save his little fuck buddy. I move my gun to aim at Roman and fire. Many times.

"NO!" Kade screams.

The next thing I hear is more gunshots. Not from me though. They are all hitting me. Knocking my body to the ground. My plan worked. I killed Roman. Kade kills me. Kade gets to suffer for the rest of his life.

Everything slows down. I lose my breath first. Im not sorry. Fuck Roman and fuck Kade even more. The world goes dark.
