Christine's POV

I close my eyes tightly, as tear drops roll down my cold cheeks. I refuse to open them and face the reality, I refuse to realize what has just happened. One look, just one simple look could change my whole life. A small sign of relief appears in me when Justin's grip on me loosens and a loud bang is heard again, echoing the room. 

My body falls on the couch behind me, as tears roll down from my eyes uncontrollably and sobs keep on leaving my mouth. I try to breathe in and out, trying to calm myself down and process what has just happened. Deep inside I know what has happened, but I refuse to believe in that. I refuse to believe in that ugly truth when keeping my eyes closed and living in a lie seems much better. 

I feel a warm touch on the skin of my arm, which makes me flinch, but I relax the moment I realize who it is. I finally open my eyes and they immediately meet with puffy, emerald ones, staring deeply into mine. As my bottom lips trembles and tears can't stop streaming down my face, I wrap my arms around Harry's neck, for the first time in what it feels like eternity, feeling safe. 

His strong arms wrapped around me, cause me to cry even harder as I inhale his scent, the one for whom I have craved so badly. All this time I felt so empty, left and broken, like a piece of glass shattered on the floor, but now I finally feel complete, saved and safe. I tighten my grip around his shaking body as I try to press his body even closer to mine. 

"I need you to hold me, now." I whisper into his neck as more warm tears stream from my eyes and I feel him kneel down in front of me, as he pulls me closer to him, causing another sob escape my lips. I know this is over, this thing with Justin is finally over. I know now there's nothing standing between us now. I know there can be finally peace and now we can live a normal life, be a normal couple. But, I can't, I just can't stop feeling so scared, now more than ever. 

I slowly pull away from his arms and look at his face, noticing so many changes on it. He hasn't shaved in a while and his eyes are dull, empty, but again, filled with sorrow and grief, dark circles under his eyes only confirming that look. But, with all that flaws, he still manages to look so mesmerizing. 

My eyes drift towards the floor, next to my feet where lays Justin with a hole in his head and his eyes wide open, staring at the ceiling he was always proud of. My hand reaches up to cover my mouth immediately, as I can't move my eyes from his lifeless body, only making myself cry even more. 

I know he wasn't a good person, but nobody deserves to die like this. It's just brutal. He was a psychopath, but he was a human and I know, I'm sure that deep inside of him was a normal human being, a human with feelings and soul and a heart.It didn't have to end like this. If he only tried to change, to feel sorry for everything he's done and move on with his life, he'd still be alive, with a chance to live a normal life.

"What did you do, Harry?" I manage to say as I look at Harry, who's looking at anything, but my face, "You just became something he said you are." I croak out and he closes his eyes as he exhales deeply and looks at me with those green eyes.  

"I had no choice. It was either you or him. Do you think it was easy for me to pull that goddamn trigger and kill a living being?" he asks and all that he gets for an answer is a very pathetic sob coming from me, "We have to go now. C'mon." he says as he stands out his hand for me to take, which I do, having one last look at Justin's dead body lying on the floor.
