Night of prom (at after prom at the high school)

Peter's POV.

"Baby I've forgiven you. Come on get dressed, your my date to the pep rally tonight." I say excitedly trying to get MJ to come out of her room. 

Her mom let me in, thinking where still together and that I could get her out. She's locked herself in her room after we broke up and one of her friends tried to get with me.

"What, Why?" MJ says through the door. 

Thats a start. At least she's talking. She hasn't left her room, not even for food. 

"Our classmates thought they were signing a petition. You gotta come out here and see what they really signed." I say hoping she opens the door. Wanting to help out with a "prank".

The door to her room unlocks only for me to hear her run to her bathroom locking that door. She let me in. Thats better

"I'm getting my stuff. Give me a second, I'll change at the school." She say. I could hear a hint of fear in her voice. 

"You chucked me our like I was trash. For that you should be dead. But, but, but. Then it hit me like a flash. What if the high school went instead?" I ask as she comes out. Shes so gorgeous still. The girl of my dreams. 

A shocked look comes over her face as she pushes me out of the room, locking me out again.

"Those assholes are the key. They're keeping you away from me. They made you blind, messed up your mind. But I can set you free."

I can hear MJ move around before sitting behind the door. 

"You left me, and I fell apart. I punched the wall and cried. Bam, bam, bam. Then I found you changed my heart. And set loose all this truthful shit inside. And so, I built a bomb." I pause hearing her gasp, "Tonight, our school is Vietnam. Let's guarantee they never see their senior prom." I get quieter at the end my face against the door.

"Why?" I hear her say tears obvious.

"I was meant to be yours. We were meant to be one. Not you and Brad. Don't give up on me. Let's finish what we've begun. I was meant to be yours." I explain, pausing for her to get it in her head.

"So when the high school gym goes, boom! With everyone inside, Pkhw! Pkhw! Pkhw! In the rubble of their tomb. We'll plant this note explaining why they died!" I start reading the pre-planned note, "We, the students of Westerberg High, will die. Our burnt bodies may finally get through, To you. Your society churns out slaves and blanks. No thanks. Signed, the students of Westerburg High, Goodbye."

"I'm not joining you." MJ says her voice mostly gone. 

I laugh, "Of course you are. We'll watch the smoke pour out the doors. Bring marshmallows and we'll make s'mores. We can smile and cuddle while the fire roars! It'll be so much fun. Don't you think." I laugh some more. 

"MJ? " I ask when she doesn't respond. I get nervous. 

"Open the, open the door please." I ask getting desperate. 

"MJ, Open the door."

"MJ, can we not fight anymore, please? Can we not fight anymore?" I pause hopeing she'll answer. 

"MJ, sure, you're scared, I've been there, I can set you free! MJ, don't make me come in there. I'm gonna count to three!"

"One!" I pause hearing something heavy fall.

"Two! Fuck it!" I say busting down the door. 


I let out a small scream. 

"No. God, no, MJ. Please don't leave me alone. You were all I could trust. I can't do this alone." I pause almost crying seeing her lay there, motionless, "Still, I will if I must."

"MJ. I made you guys a snack. MJ? " Her mom asks coming upstairs. 

"AHHHHH" Her mom lets out a blood curdling scream. 

I slowly stand up. Leaving. The love of my life is gone... Those assholes will pay, then I'll join my love. Making my way to the school, bag in hand, I had everything I needed. I find the classroom that is closest to all the "festivities" placing the bomb. 

"1 minute. Long enough so I can get out and make sure no one survives." I say to myself before walking out. I head outside, far enough to just get caught in the blast, but far enough to where I look like a bystander. 

20 seconds. 

Finally, everyone will pay. 

15

No one's going to survive. 

10 

So close then I can join you, my love.

"Boom." I say at the bomb goes off. 

"I'll be with you soon love." I say before everything goes black.
