I'm crying.

5 months later

Harry intertwined his fingers with Nina's as they lay on the fresh green grass staring up at the sky. The bright blue dots covered the evening sky, as the cold breeze filled the air.

"Nina?" Harry asked, looking into her eyes, as he could still see the twinkle in them. 

"Mhm."

Harry sat up and looked down at her, then averted her gaze, smiling to himself. He reached into his pocket, pulling out a small box. Nina's heart started racing. She knew what was coming next. She sat up and stared at the box.

"Look, sweetheart, I never thought I would see you again, after we left each other at that camp. I thought about you everyday, and wished to God that somehow, someday, I would meet you again, and that I would be able to hug and kiss you again and remember how soothing that felt." He said, opening the box. "We were born to find our other half, to go have an adventure. Being here with you was an adventure, a fairytale, and it was the best damn thing that ever happened to me. So with that said, will you marry me?"

Nina brought her hands up to her heart as she could feel the beat thumping in her chest. Tears welled up in her eyes. She weakly smiled, "Yes." Harry grinned and kissed her hard. They cried tears of joy.

Those tears would turn into tears of misfortune and pain, when Nina heard a very familiar voice.

"Get away from my daughter, you son of a bitch." Nina got up suddenly, grabbing Harry's hand tightly when she noticed a gun in her father, Eric's hands, disgusted by the way it looked, especially in her fathers hands.

"Dad!" She shrieked and guarded Harry, praying to God that it would stop her father from pressing the trigger.

"You ran away with MY daughter, and now you want her to marry you!? Who the hell do you think you are?!" He yelled.

"Daddy please don't do this. Don't you want me to be happy? I'm happy with him just let me be!" She pleaded.

Her father glanced at her then glared at Harry again. "I don't want you to be with him. Dylan was the right guy for you."

Nina's eyebrows narrowed, "What do you mean was?"

He grinned, "I found him, and got him to tell me everything and where you guys were. Then I shot him in the head, and his girlfriend. There's no way in hell he would let my daughter be with this piece of junk."

Harry remained silent. He was speechless. He knew his life would probably end in a few moments. He felt some tears in his eyes.

"Sir, I'm promising you that-."

"Shut your mouth boy." He father threw a nasty look at him again. He looked back down, holding on to Nina's hand.

"Don't you understand?! I love him so much dad! I'm not gonna let some stupid family feud ruin my life!"

Eric's face grew dark, "Nina, get away from him, and take that goddamn ring off."

Harry got angry, he isn't gonna let Nina slip out of his hands again. He stood in front of her, and stared in Eric's monstrous eyes.

"No." Harry wasn't scared anymore. To hell with respecting her father and keeping his mouth shut, He was gonna fight. For Nina.

"Don't make me shoot you, kid."

"No matter what you do, you can't separate us from each other."

"Are you challenging me?"

"I dare you." Harry said. Nina stood in the middle and pleaded, "Stop please! Dad please let me be-."

"NO, YOU'RE COMING HOME WITH ME THIS INSTANT!"

Eric was scaring Nina. This wasn't the man she knew, this wasn't the man that had the sweetest heart. This was a monster.

"IM NOT COMING HOME! HARRY IS MY HOME AND ITS WERE I BELONG OKAY?!"

Eric looked into her eyes, then brought up his gun, aiming at Harry's golden heart, then pressed the trigger.

Harry's lifeless body lay on the ground, as a pool of crimson colored blood drowned him.

Nina froze, her life, her home just finished in front of her eyes.

"Not anymore." Eric said.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!" Nina ran to Harry's body. "YOU KILLED HIM!"

Nina hugged Harry, his blood soaking her clothes.

Eric dropped his gun, and walked over to Nina, touching her shoulder, but she pushed him away.

"GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU'RE A MONSTER! LEAVE ME ALONE!"

Eric slowly started walking away, he realized what he had done, and the monster he had become killed the only thing that made Nina, his little girl happy. He realized he just killed his daughter.

Nina sobbed into Harry's body. When she heard his raspy voice again, her heart was racing again, there was still a chance that he was alive.

"Nina?"

"You will be fine, let me call the ambulance, just bear with me okay, honey?" Nina searched for her phone, but Harry grabbed her hand.

"Baby, it's too late."

Nina started crying again. "I love you so much, you can't go."

"You remember that day, we spent in Paris."

Nina started into his green orbs for the last time, "Yea." She weakly smiled.

"That day, I knew I wanted you to be mine forever. And now," he gasped for air. Nina shrieked, "Harry?"

"And now, I can't spend my life with you, I'm dying."

"No, no, please don't die." Nina sobbed.

It was too late. Harry was gone. His eyes were frozen and his body stopped shaking. Nina stopped crying and looked down at him. All the light in the world was gone. The stars in the sky disappeared.

Nina got up and started screaming in pain. She threw rocks around and pulled at her hair. Then she fell on the floor, and cried.

She spotted the gun next to her. She grabbed the gun and looked at it intently.

'No matter what you do, you can't separate us from each other'

Harry's voice echoed in her mind. He said they couldn't be separated.

There was still a bullet in the gun. Nina got up and walked to Harry's dead body. "We will never be separated." She brought the gun up to her head.

Then she pressed the trigger.
