Chapter 1 March 14

I wrote this one-shot after church, I was even debating to whether post it or not because I didn't think it was worth to post, but I did it anyway. Thank you for giving 7 Minutes a chance!

Minute One: April

Not necessarily the newest but also not the oldest, but in between. If you think about it...neither one of the girls ever gotten a loyalty test, unlike the others. What better way to open the story than with her gorl.

Minute Two: Claire

Claire, one of Ray's favorite people in the very beginning. Someone she enjoyed having company with, especially when they bond over fishing. I thought it was fitting for Ray to ask Claire to watch over Tommy, considering that she was the one who introduced the two on that one day Tommy drove Ray to Burger Shot which led to Claire and Tommy meeting.

Minute Three and Four: Randy

Although I mention Tommy in these minutes, the main focus is still Randy. I like to think the black rose is their symbolism as Mundos. Also I purposely left out Ray saying "the moon is beautiful isn't it" so I could treat it as a flashback.

Minute Five: The Test

I thought it was worth mentioning what Vinny would always tell Ray, from when she started working for him, to the aftermath of Operation FTB, all the way to the point of him making sure that she doesn't over work herself. I made this minute appear as though she was getting tested just to get tested, but Mr. K had different plans and never mentioned as to why she was getting tested.

Minute Six: The Aftermath

The part where I cried and I'm the one writing. 

Minute Seven: Last Breath

The previous minutes were flashbacks Ray was experiencing, this was the present.

By the way I never posted this story on Reddit, someone else did. I found out while I was washing my car. I liked how everyone had a discussion on who they thought it was, here's two of them that I have on my notes:

~After mulling it over for a bit, I think it's Mickey. She doesn't mention WHO the person is, just says it's someone she trusts to help her not comply with CGs orders. Lang, Max, and Eric all show up elsewhere in the story, so it wouldn't be one of them. Mickey makes sense because he COMPLETELY understands not wanting to complete a loyalty test (especially if it involves shooting Yuno). He may even know that she can't just leave the same way he did because CG wouldn't accept someone leaving twice without war. If CB offered her shelter, there would be massive bloodshed and casualties on both sides... and nobody else could even dream of competing with CG in order to protect her.

~It could be either Max or Eric. Max because it's his one final task for his boss. Eric but he'd make a plan to get her out of there.

When I wrote the first chapter I had my mind set on someone and many of the readers figured it out but only one reader said the exact reason as to why I chose the person. And since it was only going to be a one time thing and I didn't think anyone would actually want more from it, I just left it to everyone's imagination. I was running ideas with my friends to help me pinpoint exactly who. And I'm still set on my person around this time bc although the other choices also make sense, they also think that it'd be best to go with the one I was thinking of.
