Crimes of Passion

Prologue

Prologue

I could feel my eyelids getting heavy. My body felt weak and sore. My breathing was getting slower and slower by the minute. I pressed my hands against my chest and stomach. I had been shot twice and the bleeding was showing no signs of stopping. I looked over at Amari. He'd been shot twice in the chest and once right through his forehead. I knew he died upon impact, but I couldn't help but wish that his eyes would open and he would call out my name one last time.

I suppose we had this coming to us. Amari and I had fucked around with all the wrong people and now they got their revenge. We we're left to die in alleyway behind a boarded up crack house. I could just picture the story on the front cover of the L.A. Times. "Los Angeles most wanted couple found slain." I could imagine how excited that son of a bitch officer Joey would be once he found out. That fucker played us like a guitar. I hope someone kills him.

My body was starting to shut down. I could feel it in every inch of me. The last five years of my life have been more than I could've imagined. For that, I had to thank Amari. He brought me out of my comfort zone and showed me how exciting life could really be. For that, I loved him. I always would, no matter what. We knew their was a chance of us dying today and we still rode out. I don't regret a moment of time I've spent with Amari. I just wish I could've had more. If only we could've spent our whole lives together as we had planned. But there was nothing we could do now.

I was started to feel dizzy now. My vision was blurring. I heard sirens ringing but they seemed so far off. My eyes rolled to the back of my head as my shut and I took my final breath.
