Blood.
Both of my hands were covered in blood...
...covered by someone’s blood
Another person’s life was again, thrown away because of me...
Another death...
Another death just to save the likes of me...
...another name to include on my personal guilt list

“Oh God, Darren? Bullet? H-hey D-Darren?!” I panicked, “Oh God please... no... not Darren... not you too... n-no... p-please...” I keep tearing up while I put pressure in his shot.
It’s so hard to convince myself that he can still survive, when I knew that he was shot in a vital spot and whoever did this thing is definitely a sharp shooter on its own.
“V-V-Vhonn...” he murmured.
“N-No! Don’t speak, don’t force yourself... help is coming and you’ll—”
I stopped my babble as he lift his palm over my cheeks and soothingly run his thumb into it even with my wet laced mask. I immediately grabbed my mask and forcefully rip it off, not caring everyone who can recognize my bare face.
Soon after, I hear tons of gasps, murmurs of wows and shits... but only Darren’s smile captured my attention.
“No, please... this can’t be happening...” I said to myself.
“Holy shit! You’re Blind Rose?!”
“S-skater Girl?!”
“What the fu—”
“This is insane!”
“H-huh?!”
Just then and there, we were crowded by the BLG boys and of course, Daphney. Little did they both know, I already knew their growing feelings towards each other from these past few weeks. Damn, I wouldn’t let them meet each other if I knew they won’t click in the first place.
Daphney grasp Darren’s other hand like a lifeline, and same as everyone else who cares Darren... she cries her heart out.
“Bro, we’ll —” – Dereck
“T-take... care... of... Daph’n... Vhonn... Boys” Darren again, murmured which made us go awry... scared on how Darren says his little thoughts and goodbyes. His eyes weakly scanned his surroundings before meeting the eyes of the one he’s looking for, everyone turn following Darren’s gaze and met the person he was looking for, a jaw-clenched Rain.
Just as soon I saw Rain’s fury face, I hold tight Darren’s hand on my cheek and lean more to it, “Darren, it’s not the time for—” and there, I was cut by Darren’s final words,
“Don’t leave her” before turning his sight to me and smiled. His hold was getting heavier and his eyes were slowly closing. I can still feel the slowing beats from his pulse at his wrist until it comes to nothing, leaving us mourning of uselessness towards this death... his death...

Everyone left the arena, aside from me. Here I am, sitting on my throne, the empress throne, hidden in the dark of a closed arena with a blank mind. My tear glands were too tired to produce tears, and so does my heart.
