Saved

My brain switches

This was it . This is how I die.
Stop saying that. My mind was having a constant two person conversation. But one of them was always right. And it ain't the one about ending horribly. I don't understand what kind of mess I had gotten myself into, but I need to get out.

Alex released.

Everything went into slow motion.

A flicker of an eye.

A quick movement.

A bullet coming out of a gun.

A scream.

And then everything's over.

Rebecca lies on the floor. Dead. No stomach moving up and down, just replaced by a red stain. I run up to Alex and tackled him on the ground. He wasn't going to try and shot me again.

He fell down without even fighting me.

'What the hell was that?!' I screamed at him.

He looked at me with a gasp on his face.

'You killed Rebecca? And what happened to being in love? You tried to shoot me Alex!' I thought I was finally going to fall for someone. But all I did was fall into their trap.

'Listen. Please, listen to me.' He finally spoke in a raspy voice. My foot was over his hand with the gun.

'You don't have to cover my hand, I'm not going to shoot you, see.' He threw the gun away.

'Please Hailee, listen to me, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. It wasn't me I promise, if you just-'

'Listen up Alex. I trusted you. Trusted! And of this is your idea of love, I'm not interested.' And with that, I let go of him, got up, grabbed the gun and ran away. I wasn't expecting him to follow me. But when I heard the rustle of leaved and snapping of branches behind me, I knew he was there.
I pushed my legs to go faster, but they wouldn't budge. Too much running. Too much running.
He grabbed me from behind, and pulled me down with his hand over my mouth and his other arm around me.

Of course I tried to fight, but it was no use.

'Listen to me Hailee. I want you to know that this was not my fault. I am incredibly in love with you, and what happens ended back there was not me.' I was confused. But I stopped fighting to listen.

'There's this ... There's this thing inside my brain, and it ... well, it it's like a switch. Most of the time I'm myself, but then sometimes I just turn bad, and turn on the people I love. That... That then, that is my bad side, and it's not my side. Can you forgive me?'

'You know Alex, you're one heck of a person. And I want to be around you, so I guess I forgive you. But wait, how do I snap you out of your bad side?'

'You have to punch my left shoulder.' That's bizarre.

'Listen I'll help you. I'll always be there, I'll always punch you.' He chuckled at my last words.

'I'll help you if you help me.'

'Deal.'

He leaned in, and well kissed me!

(So? Do you ship them? I sure do, and I'm writing this! Any suggestions? How'd you like the chapter?)
