*James' P.O.V*
Tomorrow is the day. I have to do it tomorrow. No matter what. I am going to propose to Aleks. We've been dating for 4 years and 364 days. Tomorrow was our 5 year anniversary, the perfect time to propose. I smile, thinking of how the beautiful silver band will wrap around his finger, and how we'll say our "I do's" under the perfect sunset. A text from Aleks drags me out of my perfect dream world.
Goodnight, babe. Happy early anniversary. I love you. ~Aleks <3
This brings an even wider smile across my face. I giggle, rereading it over and over again.
I love you too, babe. Happy early anniversary. Good night. I love you sooo much.
I put my phone on the charger, lay down on the bed me and Aleks would be sharing soon, and go to sleep peacefully, dreaming of the love of my life.

*Aleks' P.O.V*
*Morning*
KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.
I hear an almost pounding at the door, jolting me awake like an alarm clock. Rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I glance at the clock to see that it is noon, groaning at the amazing 4 hours of sleep I got.
KNOCK. KNOCK. KNOCK.
"I'M FUCKING COMING, DAMN IT." My voice cracked slightly from my half asleep state. I managed to stand, my eyes going a little blurry, and stumble over to the front door, not worrying about what I'm wearing since I passed out in the clothes I wore yesterday. Opening the door, I'm greeted by an overly energetic Eddie, "Hey Aleks!" I groan, letting him skip pass me, "The fuck do you want." His face went straight, his voice steady and serious, "I actually need to talk to you." I rub my eyes again, "Alright, shoot." I sit down on the couch in the living room as he sits next to me, a little closer than I would recommend. "Aleks, you are like, my best friend. I can say or do anything around you and not feel any bit of embarrassed nor judged." "I know this already, Sly. Get to the point." That came off a little too dick-ish, but I am not a morning person, and Eddie knows that.
"I love you." It was mumbled, barely audible.
"Wait, what?"
"I love you, Aleks. I know you're dating James, so I wanted to tell you before you and James got too serious." He trailed off at the end.
"A little late for that, Eddie." I said, once again a little too dick-ish. James and I have been together for 5 years now. Today was our anniversery. The thought brought a smile to my face. I love James, not Eddie.
"What do you mean? It's only been 5 years." Eddie carelessly says.
"Only 5 years? Are you serious right now, Sly?! Five years is way longer than you think. I'm sorry, Eddie. I don't feel the same. I love James, I'm sorry." I snapped at the beginning, but brought my words down to a softer tone near the end.
Eddie looked down, not pain or jealousy or anger in his eyes, just an... Evil glare? "I see. I really didn't want to do this, Aleks, you're my best friend..." He stood up, reaching at his back pocket, "But if I can't have you," He pulled out a shiny pistol aiming it at me, "No one can."
"N-n-now, Eddie. Listen, let's be reasonable here. I'm sorry. We can work this out." I stuttered, throwing my hands up, horrified.
He just smirked, looking at the pistol, before aiming it at my head again, "I love you, Aleks, such a shame a pretty little face like yours will get so ruined. James had to go and fucking spoil it all. Fucking cock sucker."
"HEY. JAMES IS NOT A COCK SUCKER. HE IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. I LOVE JAMES, WITH ALL OF MY HEART. I LOVE YOU JAM-" I was interrupted by a bullet, going straight into my skull, and everything going dark.

*James' P.O.V*
My eyes flutter open as I look over and see it's 2:00. Shit. I'm late. I wanted to ask Aleks to marry me a little earlier, but what can you do? As long as it's today. I quickly get ready putting on Aleks' favorite outfit of mine. I trim up my beard slightly and get the small box on the dinner table, putting it in my back pocket. Looking in the mirror for the final time, I decide I look presentable enough to see Aleks. I hop into the car and drive quickly to his house, ready to ask him the 5 daring words. Getting at his house, I make sure to fix my shirt and hair before knocking. No answer. Strange, Aleks always answers the door. I knock again, no answer. Well, good thing I know where the spare key is. I reach under the "Welcome" mat and grab the singular key and unlock the door. "Aleks?" I shout loudly through the house, once again, no answer. I walk aimlessly around the house until I find it. Tears instantly fill my eyes as I am met by a lifeless Aleks, a gun in his hand, and his brains scattered across the couch.
(A/N YES. A NEW STORY. ME AND MY FRIEND ALYSSA CAME UP WITH THIS. SO, THERE'S THAT. THE REST OF THE STORY IS GOING TO BE IN THIRD PERSON POINT OF VIEW. SO, YEAH. HOPE YA'LL LIKE IT. TELL ME IF YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE IT! :D)
