Weeks passed and senior years feels bittersweet now. I'm currently in Delilah's house listening to her rant about this girl Vanessa, oh I know about her alright.

She actually flirted with Aleksandr infront of me while we were window shopping. That night I was getting ready to head out to blow her house up. I was held back by Aleksandr. Damn him and his good distraction skills.

"She ruined my bookstore." Delilah's voice breaks and she breathes in. "I say we blow up her house." I lean my head on Aleksandrs shoulder, he's fast asleep. What a great support. We're waiting on Nikolai to get here.

"I swear if I knew how crazy she'd be I wouldn't touch or go near her." Dimitri sighs and scratches nova.

"I mean is she not embarrassed? Flirting with other girl's boyfriends, like have some respect!." Nikolai enters the room and hands Delilah a bag. She smiles and opens her bag of chips. At the rustle of the bag Aleksandr wakes up. "Are you serious babe?" He smiles at me and kisses my cheek. "I was awake the whole time darling, just resting my eyes. I do it all the time right Dimitri?"

Dimitri scoffs, "you were asleep." Aleksandr frowns and I laugh and poke his cheek. He snuggles up to me and closes his eyes but he's massaging my hand letting me know he's awake. Aleksandr is not afraid of being affectionate with me in-front of anyone and I love it.

"Ok guys I still say we blow her up." Nikolai grimaces at me, "not everyone's an arsonist Cynthia." I roll my eyes at him, my plan is great, he's such a bore.

Delilah's about to say something when the windows shatter, glass and bullets rain on us. In a quick blur Aleksandr is hovering over me hugging me tight while covering my head.

"Fuck you're okay I got you darling." He could get shot. he can die, no please. I can't let him get hurt. I can't lose anyone else especially not him.

With all my force I throw Aleksandr off of me and he falls down on the floor, I'm about to get down from the bed when I feel it. I'm hit by the impact and fall back on the bed.

My heart breaks at Aleksandrs reaction. His eyes begin to water and he's instantly by my side, pressing on my wound that's bleeding profusely. Fuck is this how I die?

"What did you do. WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" He's yelling at me and his body is shaking, I've never seen him like this and my heart breaks for putting him in this situation.

"No no no,  why would you do that Cynthia. Why?" His voice breaks and he starts shouting at Dimitri. I hear Nikolai but can't dechiper what exactly he said. I'm dying I can feel it.

I'm finding it hard to keep my eyes open no matter how hard I try. I feel something wet land on my face, "fuck no, no, no, Cynthia. Darling, open your eyes. Please." I open them and see Aleksandr crying. I don't like seeing him this distraught it's fucking destroying me.

I let out a small cry and begin coughing. "Don't cry please." I manage to get out, but he's shaking his head yelling at something. Someone else presses down on me but I'm already losing consciousness everyone is fading into blackness.

They're yelling and i finally succumb to the darkness. I'm in so much pain that all I want to do is let go. I feel them lifting me up and it's getting harder to breathe in. It hurts, everything hurts and I'm tired.

Maybe this is it, I can finally be with my mother.
