Diana's POV
       I grab the tv remote and grab a box of cookies in my drawer that I have been stashing for myself. If everyone's going their own ways I might as well do the same, I turn on the tv and put on " friends" one of my favorite tv shows. About 10 minutes into my show my door creeks open and see Matt's head popping in.
" May I come in?" He asks In a gentle voice.
" If you wanna bang go find someone who is up to it." I say jokingly.
" Very funny mushy buns." He says while smirking at me.
" Shut up!" I laugh.
" Alright seriously look, when everyone said we should go our own way I meant they could take their own ways but your mine and I plan to keep it that way." He says in a serious tone, his face is serious and his eyes are directly looking into mine.
" Honestly I'm glad you said that because I literally thought, you... Would just leave me." I say looking down.
He comes closer to me and wraps his arms around my waist and begins to whisper in my ear."Baby no you know I love you, I could never do that.... Is that a stash of cookies?"
" Haha yea, want some?" I ask changing the subject.
" Yeasss." He says biting his lip." But I don't want those cookies."
" You nasty!" I say laughing once more.
That night me and Matt stay up late watching friends and eating cookies until we pass out. But that's when everything turned around in a matter of hours. It was around 3 am when I heard a loud scream coming from Gloria's room.

Gloria's POV
My heart stopped. My mind was blank. My hands where still. I felt paralyzed. The man I love. The man who I gave my heart to... My everything. Was in front of me, no not good and healthy, he was bleeding a bullet was placed in his chest, he got shot in the stomach. I don't know how, I don't know when but I couldn't move.
" Gloria..." I hear his faint voice say.
That's when I scream, I scream my emotion, something screaming for help, but my pain in it. I run towards him my eyes only on him.
" Baby, baby we can do something!" We can save you!" I say barely being able to see my eyes are overflowing with tears. He looks and me with a faint smile and slightly shakes his head..no.
" Listen Gloria, my beautiful baby girl. I am not going to make it." He says slightly.
" No you are going to make it! Let me help you!" I say putting my hands on his face.
" Stop it Gloria, let me die, die here looking at the woman who made my life full. You where the woman who gave me motives to wake up everyday. You where not just my heart, you where everything. I love you Gloria never, ever forget that."
     His final words. Where on me. He wasted his last breath on me. He died looking at me. I lift my hand and close his lifeless eyes. I place my hands on his shirt and grip it hard. I plant my face on his chest, why couldn't it be me. I want him to feel me and feel my heart, I didn't want him as a lover, I saw him as a husband, as the father of my children. My heart was beating, but it wasn't there. I could no longer feel my heart, he took it with him. I finally feel the presence of Diana when she hugs me from my back.
" Saying sorry won't help... I'm here for you." She says as I feel wet tears on my back.
" What happened." I hear Matt say.
I can't answer, I can't answer anything I'm lost. So lost. But I need to speak. I need to say something. I can't keep my mouth shut any longer, my voice is the only thing I have left.
" You... You don't.. Understand." I manage to say through  tears and gasps for air.
" I know, you loved him I know it's hard Gloria, he loved you as much as you did him, but in here it's everything for survival. We all don't have much time left either." Speaks Diana so causally it angers me.
" Shut up Diana!" I say pushing her off me.
" If it was Matt you wouldn't be saying that shit to yourself and you know it! You would be on the floor weak! How could you say something like that!" I say so loud I can feel my throat burning.
" Why are you being like this!" She screams back.
" You wouldn't understand!" I scream once again. This is no longer a survival game, it's war.
" I'm trying too! I lost someone too! Don't be selfish!" Screams Diana.
I raise my hand without thinking and slap her with all the force I have left. She looks at me, her eyes wide and filled with rage but pity.
" Gloria.." I hear Matt say.
" I begin to cry again and I finally see Kate and Paige in the room.
I once again put my head against victors chest again.
" What don't we understand?" Says Diana in a low voice.
" He's dead.... I'm pregnant." I finally say.

( Muahhaha Victors dead 😏.. Yep I'm that heartless hehe.)
