The cold metal pressed against my forehead. I quivered as it kept pushing further. A strand of hair fell in front of my face. It became attached to my wet skin. My arms wrapped around myself. I clenched my teeth to prevent them from shaking. My eyes began to blur once again. I dared not to close my eyes, for if I did I might not be able to open them again. My legs folded beneath me; I wasn't worried about the uncomfortable position they were in. The soothing voice I knew all to well gently shushed me. My lip began to tremble. Hair went in my mouth as I began to cry.

Levi's arm wrapped around my upper body. His other hand held the gun against my head. I had no reason to hate him, for I know he's killing me for mercy. For the fear that I'll die by someone else's hands. For the fear that he would lose me. For the fear that I would experience life as he had. For the fear of what life might bring me. I had no reason to hate him, for I will always love him.

Tears fell on top of my head. His body shook against mine. His desperate sobs played through the room. Levi's shoulders shook and his hand wobbled as he held the gun. For a split second, I saw him lower the gun, but it lasted no longer than a second. His heartbeat ran faster than I could imagine. I dared not to look upon his broken state. It scared me to think what his sacred face looks like in dishevelment. All I could hear were his cries. He simply cried and cried.

Goodbye, late nights. Who always seemed to save my day. Goodbye, mom and dad. Whom I can never repay. Goodbye, nature. Who gave me hope in our world. Goodbye, moths. The only creature that will everlasting me. Goodbye, future. Who I can only dream of now. Goodbye, life. Who I could never seem to fathom, yet I'm already losing. Goodbye, me. Who I will never see grow and prosper. Goodbye, Levi. Who opened my eyes to the words. Who found my love in the deepest of caverns. Who set this dreadful destiny upon me. Who I will never forget.

Here I go. To the depths of my death. Tears were all I saw, from Levi and I. Levi held my body in his arms. My hand held onto his hand that wrapped around me. The conversation that lead to this was long and troubling, but I had forgotten most of it. Levi's words though never left my thoughts. I love you, okay. You don't know how much it hurts me to do this, he said. I believed him, of course. I could heard him mumble words to himself. He held the gun closer to me. I closed my eyes, and a pull of the trigger stopped my breathing.
