BANG! BANG! BANG! Gunshots flared in the room. I dunk as Ryan pulls out his pistol and cocked it, aiming it at Gerald and shooting him.
"Let Tom go!" Ryan demanded. "Now!"
Nothing. Ryan slowly approaches Gerald who's on the ground, motionless. I begin to worry.
"Ryan?" I whisper. He bends down to check Gerald's pulse. He looks at me with a guilty frown.
"Ryan?" I ask again. "Is he...?"
"He's dead," he comes up to me and holds my face in his hands. "Thank God you're alright!"
I sob in relief. I hug him tightly and he picks me up bridal style.
"I'm sorry," I apologize for no reason.
"Sorry? For what Tom?" Ryan says.
I shrug.
"Tom. Listen. None of this wasn't your fault. He deserves to die. He took you away from us. Away from me. I had to save you. Because families always have your back no matter what. I love you. You mean the whole world to me. I'd do anything in my heart to protect you."
More tears of happiness stream down my cheeks. I kiss him. My first kiss. My first love. I don't know what it means. But I guess this is the beginning of a new life.

AN: Hey, guys. That's a wrap! Not as adventurous and dramatic as I thought it would be. Just wanted to get things on paper ya know? Well. That's the end. -Batmaninuse78
