"Oh my god!," I yell, "Is it really you, Jeremy?!"

"Yes," he responds.

"You were cursed, weren't you?," I speculate.

"As you can see," he answers.

"What do you want?," I ask.

"The secret, of course," he says.

"You know I can't do that," I tell him.

"You most certainly can."

"But I won't because you know what will happen if I were to let go of it again."

"I would have power, duh. Now give me it!"

"Not only that, the world would come to end," I say.

"No, it would not!," Jeremy shouts, "Now give me the secret or I am going to have to beat you and your girlfriend for it!"

"Jeremy, please!," I beg.

"Tell me," he demands.

Jeremy puts a gun up to Nelly's head.

"Wait!," I yell, "Stop!"

I know Jeremy would shoot, so I couldn't just hesitate to tell him. In that moment, I know that the entire world would come to an end because of what I was about to tell him. Because of that, I couldn't help but cry.

Jeremy got close to me and I whispered the secret in his ear. Jeremy walked out, leaving us trapped in there, and Nelly looked at me with a worried face.

"Why did you do that?!," Nelly says angrily.

"To save your life," I respond.

"Well, now," she says, "according to what you have been saying, the entire world will come to an end meaning we will all die."

"I'm sorry," I say, "I just couldn't so easily have let him pull the trigger and kill you because of me."

"This is not good," she says.

"The whole world will come to an end and it's all my fault," I say, "It will be a return of the end. Everything will be destroyed. Everyone will be destroyed. Nelly?"

"What?," Nelly says, in shock.

I answer, "We're all going to die."
