Adri turned around to face Ashton.
She giggled. "Ashy, baby" and kissed him on the cheek.
"Meet Blaze" he smiled. She gave me a fake smile. "We've already met"
"Great he smiled back"
He held my hand and looked at her. I loved how he intertwined his fingers with mine.
"Don't be a bitch next time, yeah?" He scoffed.
Adri gasped. "I am not a bitch"
He led me outside and drove me home. It was past midnight so Bree and Ricardo would be sleeping by now. I decided to climb up the window since I didn't want to risk waiting up my sister and Ricardo. I climbed up the tree and hopped to my bedroom window.
He looked at me, smiling "that's my girl"
I kissed him goodnight and went into a deep slumber.

>>Five Months Later<<
I slid down the wall, my heart breaking, shattering. He doesn't want me. Not anymore. He can live without me. But am I ready to live without him? You must be wondering what happened. Let me fill you in. A month after I met Adri, Ashton asked me to be his girlfriend. But after two months Adri started causing problems. We constantly argued. I did message Xavier saying I couldn't do the plan as I loved Ashton. Nothing has happened yet. My sister is nearly six months pregnant. We had been dating for five months. Adri had leaked the messages between me and Xavier to Ashton. We broke up. And now... now he has given his heart away, and in the process, taken mine. I clutch onto my school bag. I can't do this anymore! I got up and turned into the next corner when a gun was pointed at me.
"Back up bitch!" Adri scoffed.
Tears streamed down my cheek. I can't do this. I can't.
I caught my breath and cried. "What do you want?"
"You're a little nobody that is in the way of my plan. It's time for you to say bye bye" she smirked.
I looked at the gun, then at her. "I'm not afraid of you" I spoke, my tone suddenly changing. "Go ahead. Pull the trigger"
And she did. It hit my stomach. She ran away. Agonising pain came out and I collapsed. I held on the my wound, gasping for air.
"Shit.. Blaze" Ashton whispered. Everyone came out of classes, screaming. Ashton cradled me. I then realised as I looked into his eyes...
"Ashton..." I cried, gasping. "I'm not ready to die...please"
He cupped my face. "Hold on Blaze, dammit HOLD ON! SOMEBODY GET A FUCKING AMBULANCE!" He roared. I couldn't hold on, and fell into consciousness.

What's that sound? It's like... wheels...
"She's losing blood. We need to get the bullet out! We COULD LOSE HER!" Somebody shouted.
I...can't...hold on...I'm sorry...
I was going to die. I expected it. I didn't want to die like this. I wanted to die old. Sixteen is a really young age to die, the future is unpredictable.
