*Your POV*

I turned to stare at Max and saw the same look of horror and shock reflected from my own face.

"How...how could he!" Tears were coming slowly into Max's eyes.

"M-Max! I wanna get out of here!" I was still staring at the scene in front of me.

Ross was standing over a lump of clothing, skin, and arms and legs. Surrounding it was a pool of blood.

"*Y*, run. Don't turn around. Just. Run!" Max took off down the hallway as I stood rooted to the spot still staring.

"*Y*! This uh....this isn't what it looks like!" Ross was looking at me with horror in his eyes. "You weren't meant to see this!" I heard him whisper, barely audible through my ears.

"Then....what is it Ross!?" I took a step back as he walked towards me. He pulled out a blade...

"You tell no one." Ross took a threatening step forward.

"Ross! What do you want from me!" You backed up even farther only to hit a wall.

"A date, you be my girlfriend." I looked at him and opened my mouth to respond.

"Ross! Get away from her!" Max! I love you thank you so much omg! I took the time that Max put in and I ran only to spin back around one time.

"Can you guess my answer Ross!?" I quickly took out my phone and I snapped a picture of a confused Ross holding a bloody knife and in the background was the body. Who is that? I spun back around, not wanting to find out; and raced out the fire exit, I was shortly followed by Max.

"We gotta go!" Max and I raced towards our cars. "Come in my car *Y*!" Max called from across the parking lot. I sighed and grabbed my keys and raced towards Max's car.

All I can say is: Thank god for this stuck up ginger.

God my ears got a horrible ringing in it and I hate it! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

*Max POV*

So, yeah....I think I saved *Y*'s life.... Whatever, but....why did I do it? I don't care about her.

"M-Max...who was that?" *Y* seemed very shaken by the experience.

"Well....it was....it was Tim...." I felt the tears coming to my eyes as I forced the words out. I heard *Y* take a sharp breath and whisper the word 'No' silently. "He will be....greatl-y missed.." I choked out another sentence. I glanced over at *Y* to see the mascara running down her face.

"Ross, Ross isn't like that....what happened?" I could barely hear her over the roar of cars on the road next to us.

"I wish I could answer that..."

*Ross POV*
Before Tim got murdered

Fine Adam. Fire me. I don't care. I don't fucking care.

I walk as swiftly as possible to the kitchen and grab the biggest and sharpest knife there is-I know what needs to happen.

"Hey, Tim!" I jogged up to his desk feeling the weight of the knife jumble uncomfortably in my deep pocket. I know Tim is a favorite of Adam's, this is really going down.

"Yeah Ross?" Tim spun his chair to look at me. As quickly as I could I cover Tims mouth with my hand and put the knife against his stomach.

"Tim, Adam fired me....if I'm gone, so is his favorite editor." Tim violently shook his head, that only caused me to push the blade harder against his stomach- I hadn't broken the skin...yet.-

"Plzzz dnt rsss!" Tims voice was muffled by my hand. I just pushed harder and heard a muffled squeak of pain come from him. That's when he stood and tried to run....bad mistake.

I felt the blade slice deeply through his skin and the gasp that erupted from his mouth was like music to my ears. It seemed in slow motion as his body fell to floor yet it seemed almost instantly the blood started pooling around him.

"Ross!" Tim gasped. "Why did you....do that!?" His face was twisted in agony, it couldn't be much longer now. I saw blood start dripping from his mouth as he reached a hand up and wiped it away and stared at his hand. "Why?" The simple question he asked made a volcano of guilt erupt which quickly turned back into hatred.

"I've always hated you, Adam favored you. If he doesn't have me, he doesn't have you either!"

"Max....where's Max?" I couldn't believe Tim was still alive. I heard noises behind me and I turned around to see *Y* and Max staring at me in horror.

"Max..." Tim used his last breath and then he was still...forever. I felt no regret at all. He deserved it. In a twisted way.

Skipping all the running and talking stuff

*Tim POV*

"Almost done..." I clicked the export button and Adam's video was uploaded to YouTube. I sighed and checked for more videos that needed editing. Adam had another one so I started working on it.

"Hey, Tim!" I hear Ross call.

"Yeah Ross?" I spun around in my chair so I was facing him. Ross flashed the distance from him to my chair and covered my mouth and pushed a blade against my stomach.

Skip all the talking of Ross and Tim because I can't remember any of it and I'm too lazy to scroll up and check.

I decided that this moment could mean life, or death. It was now or never, I've made up my mind. I stood and tried to run away as fast as I could but I felt the knife tearing through my skin and ripping it open in excruciating pain. A small gasp left my mouth as I doubled over onto floor. I felt the hot sticky blood start pooling around me.

"Ross!" The effort of pushing the word out hurt me. "Why did you....do that!?" The talking was causing the pain to intensify, a cloud of deep red clouded my vision and I felt a liquid come out of my mouth, I reached my hand toward it and wiped some off and looked at my hand. It was bloody. I knew there was no saving me. This was the end. "Why?" The question seemed to startle him as a flash of guilt went deeply through his eyes and it quickly turned back into rage.

"I've always hated you, Adam favored you. If he doesn't have me, he doesn't have you either!"

"Max....where's Max?" I thought longingly of the cute ginger man who I've had a crush on for as long as I could remember. I look just past Ross to see Max and *Y* staring at me and Ross in horror. You know when people say 'my life flashed before my eyes'? Mine really did. I saw my mother and father and grandparents, I saw my friends and everyone I ever cared about. I saw the time when I broke my leg, the time I stepped on a wasps nest and got stung a million times. Everything I've ever done that I could remember, I just relived. At the end, waiting...was a tall ginger haired man standing next to Adam, Adam introduced us.... I watched the first time I truly fell in love with another man. The best day of my life, when Max came to the offices. I'll miss him deeply. The pain I felt that id never see this man again, hurt more than the wound gushing blood in my abdomen.

"Max..." I used my last breath to utter the single name and a small smile formed on my face as I was looking fondly at Max, slowly my vision faded to black and I remember no more.
