Becca's POV
I've been in my bed, the bed I shared with Jack..
Right now I really miss Jack, I called him and he calmed down a bit.
But what Lucy said really hurt me. It feels like my past has chains on me pulling me back, preventing me from going into the future. Letting the past go.
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
The doorbell rings so I quickly touch up my makeup and go to answer. It's probably somebody from my office. I was very, very, wrong.
. . . . . . . .
I opened the door to find the person I least expected to show up. Alec..
"Becca, can we please talk for a second?" He begged. He was soaked from the pouring rain, I had to...
I pointed in, and he walked in. I handed him a towel, "Thanks." He spoke.

"I can never tell you how sorry I am. I was caught off guard how about how everything was changing so fast. It was just you and me, then Jack and Lucy were with us. I didn't see you at school anymore, and you were working in a high class place. I felt like you were breaking apart from each other, like you were flying away from me. I guess it just scared me. I'm so sorry Becca." He explained.

I just stood in front of him wide eyed, not knowing what to say.

"Alec.." I muttered.

"After Lucy told me what happened today I realized I had to tell you this. I also broke up with her." He whispered, just loud enough for us both to here.

I loved Alec at one time, but I am so much happier now with Jack then I ever was with him...

"Alec I'm happy now, so happy." I sniffled. Tears were about to fall... but I am not going to let them.

"With Jack, I know... I just want to see you, It's so hard without you." He pleaded again.

"NO! If you really loved me... you wouldn't have cheated on me so many times Alec!" I scolded
"You broke my heart Alec, more than once..."
"It's over, I'm letting go of everything." I snapped.

"Becca, I love you." "Please give me another chance." "I'll be so much better I p-promise you!" He exclaimed, tears rolling down from both of our eyes now..

"I've given you so many chances Alec, so many!" "It's over, I mean it." "Your just nobody to me now, I don't know you!" I yelled.
I pushed him out of my apartment and slammed the door in his face, and locked it.
That was so hard, but it had to be done. It had to...
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I fell against my bedroom door like so many other times, and sobbed for hours. I had finally let go, but it hurts so much. But after I'm done mourning for the past, it will be over forever....

Alec sat with his head in his hands on the other side of my apartment door. Knowing he he lost me forever... he really realized it this time.
I realized I had let him go forever....
Alec's POV
After I poured my heart out to her... she broke it. She told me how she felt, I know I hurt her so bad. Knowing that I'm nobody to her, forever, kills me...
I want to be with her so bad. I want to kiss her again, hear her say she loves me. Knowing that will never happen again hurts me so bad. After wiping my eyes I head home... to lay in bed for hours upon end, mourning my lost love...
Becca's POV
I fix eggs for dinner, something I haven't ate since Alec and I broke up... I eat them quick and realize I feel better.
I go to the last place in my apartment that has any reminders of Alec. I open my sock drawer and dig until I find it. The picture of Alec and I in front of our old house. We looked so happy then, if only I knew what was going to happen. I would've ended it then and there. Anyways, I walk over to the fireplace, picture in hand, and throw it in. I watch it burn and crumble into nothing, just like Alec, he's nothing to me. Finally I've let him go, it's like he doesn't exist anymore. The chains of the past have lifted and I can run into the future.
The Next Day
I decided to walk the quarter mile to work today, since it was such a nice day. I felt so much happier, lighter. I was just about open the doors I heard yelling across the street on the sidewalk. Alec and Lucy, oh lord.

Alec: Lucy please just leave me alone...
Lucy: I told you to leave me alone after you first kissed me.
Lucy: But what did you have to do? Keep trying. You ruined my life, and yours now to!
Lucy: I loved my life, and now it's ruined because of you!
Lucy: Now I'm going to ruin yours to.
Alec: Lucy, I'm so sorry...
Lucy pulled out a gun and pointed it and his head.
Alec: Lucy please no, plea-
She shot him on the side of his head, his body fell to the ground.
Then she turned to me, I gasped as I thought she was going to shoot to..

Instead she put the gun to her head and muttered her last words, "I'm so sorry Becca." Then she short herself, her lifeless body fell only a few feet from Alec's body.
I ran across the street to Alec's body. I shook him, "Alec please wake up, please." I wailed.
Blood gushed from his head, his eyes closed.
The ambulance arrived only a couple minutes later. They let me ride with them to the hospital.
"I'm guessing you are family or are his girlfriend." I just nodded so I could be with him.
"The Girl is dead, and your friend here isn't doing much better. We are going to have to do surgery to get the bullet, we will let you know what happens after." The doctor said.
"Does he have any other family?" The doctor asked.
"No, they died in the war." I spoke through the tears.
They explained I would be in charge of all the choices. Of course I choose all the ones that would let him get a better chance of surviving.
I called Jack as soon as I got there, explaining everything. He would be on the next plane. As soon as he got out of surgery a nurse came to speak with me.

"Excuse me miss, Mr. Black got shot on the side of his skull. It didn't go through is brain." But I'm afraid it did injure his very badly. We do expect him to wake up soon, but then he will fall asleep and never wake again." She explained.
I fell to the ground, he was going to die.
So young, it's not fair..
I thanked the nurse and dragged myself to his room. He was tubes all over, a breathing mask over his mouth, he looked terrible.
I stared at him for at least ten minutes before his eyes popped open.
"B-Becca..." He mumbled. I held his hand, and he squeezed it back.
"I'm here." I spoke, trying to stop my tears. My makeup must be smeared all over my face now.
"I'm so s-sorry." He whispered. Rubbing my hand with his thumb.
"I l-love you Becca, I always will." He wept, a tear fell down his cheek.
"I love you to Alec, I always will I promise." I spoke, trying to comfort him.
He smiled, then closed his eyes. His hand fell limp to the side of the bed. He's gone, he's truly gone. Alec....
I collapsed to the ground, I sobbed. I still loved him deeply despite all that happened.
Nurses and doctors rushed in, rubbing my back. "I'm so sorry Miss.." They whispered trying to calm me. Nothing could calm me, Alec was dead. Gone forever, like my parents like my friend from the ghetto, DEAD.
The words rang in my head.
DEAD.
DEAD.
DEAD.
DEAD.
DEAD....
I passed out, nurses ran over.
I couldn't believe it.
DEAD...
