December 1998 

"Ethan I told you to do a trash run an hour ago!" I stomp up to the boy while he takes yet another break. 

"And I told you three months ago I don't take orders from bitches," Ethan snaps back. I start to fire him before holding my tongue, I can't fuel his rage anymore than it already is. 

"Christ!" I turn on my heels and ask Chris to do a trash run.

Ethan smirks and drinks from a flask.

Him and Grayson know they can get away with anything, they just don't know why. 

Grasyon isn't as bad since he's more quiet and laid back than his dickhead brother.

Funny, a few years ago they called me their favourite girl, now they hate me. 

"I thought Ethan was doing it," Chris whines. 

"Nope, the drunk decided he has better things to do," I glare. 

"The what? Bitch, what the fuck did you call me?" Ethan screams getting into my face. 

"You fucking heard me. Back down little man," I stare in his eyes being thats honestly a low move on him. 

"Fucking bitch!" He grabs my throat and Grayson quickly pushes him off as I hold my throat in surprise and protection. 

"Clock out now Ethan!" I yell. 

"Fuck you!" Ethan spits in my direction. 

"Naw, I won't, just like every other girl in school won't," I say pissed off. 

"Bitch!" He squeals as Grayson drags him out.  Shit, I made him really mad now. I should go talk to Hannah the weekends coming up so I need to talk to her ASAP. 

I send Chris to deliver a pizza and that leaves just me and Jason in the store until 3 when Phil clocks in. 

"Hey there my love," Phil smiles kissing my forehead. 

"Gag," Jason chuckles and I let him go on break. Phil sets his bag down in the closet by the register and washes his hands about to prep.  Jason opens the back door to leave and we hear him greet someone, Chris I'm sure. 

"I thought you guys went home?" I hear Jason say walking outside.  "Keep going Jason,"

Grayson tells him. I stomp into the kitchen to tell them to leave. The backdoor shuts and I find Ethan and Grayson in their coats. 

"What are you doing her- no!" I scream as they drop their coats and both hold up their sawn off shotguns. 

"Liv!" Phil yells back. 

"Phil run!" I scream and run as Grayson lets off a shot. The bullet hits a rack of dough.

I cover my face scared and also tired of this shit.  "Drop the guns guys!" Phil yells. Another bullet flies passed me and into the door beside me, splinters hit me and I gasp in pain, a piece of wood in my eye. 

I look just in time to see a bullet hit between Graysons eyes. I cover my mouth in shock watching the tall man fall to the floor. 

"Gray!" Ethan yells running up. 

"I'm warning you!" Phil screams.  Enraged,

Witch made me realise he had also had a gun

Ethan raises his gun and the two boys fire at the same time.

A bullet rips through Ethans neck and he falls on top of his brother He chokes for a few seconds before dying as well. 

Phil falls back into my arms. He gasps for breath as the wound in his chest gushes a bit. 

"Phil, Phil no!" I hold him crying. 

"I- I saved you," he looks up at me, so much pain in his eyes. 

LPhil please," I cry and touch his hair gentle. His face pales and his eyes and lips start to lose color.  "I love you," He holds my face weakly. I can only sob as the only good thing I've had dies. 

With Ethan and Grayson dead that means the shooting can't happen.

But what if that means Phil dies permanently? I can't take his future away to win this. 

I take the gun out of his hand and look at him one last time. I'm not involving him in my next life. I can't ruin Phils future. 

I hold his gun to my head and pull the trigger. 

Good morning New valley, it is friday, January 1st, 1998 

I sit up and throw the alarm clock. Those fuckers will pay for what they did to Phil.

I look sadly at the empty bed beside me. Phil should be there but he's not thanks to them. 

I get up and go to the kitchen not bothering to get dressed. I am ending this now.

No one except Ethan and Grayson need to die.  I find a large knife in the drawer and pull on a hoodie concealing the knife in the large pocket. I never wanted to kill them, I thought friendship or a warning would suffice but instead they're getting whats really coming to them. 

I walk to school an hour early since they arrive together before Grayson heads to the theatre.

I should feel afraid to do this but every time I shut my eyes I see Phils face paling, every dead silence I hear his

'I love you's.  Ethans shitty car parks at his usual spot and they get out immediatly seeing me standing in front of his car.

I wait for Ethan to stand next to Grayson before running up to them. 

"How the fuck do you like it you fucking jerk?" I pull the knife out and immediatly plunge it into Erics stomach. 

"Oh my god!" Grayson screams and Ethan looks at me in shock and coughs up blood. Before I can even think through my actions I rip it out and plunge it through his other side. 

"Please!" Ethan begs scared. He grabs onto Grayson trying to hold himself up.

he begs me. 

Grayson holds onto Ethan not expecting the knife to plunge into his chest next.

Ethan makes a surprised noise as he now holds up Grayson who died immediatly due to shock and the knife still in his heart.

Grayson's body drags Ethan to the ground and he hits his head on the sidewalk, his nose breaking as well., 

Cop cars surround us and the sheriff holds his gun toward me. 

"Wait! They were planning on shooting up the school!" I tell them fast. I start to raise my hands and the sheriff freaks out before he shoots me and I land on Ethan. My nose brushes his broken one. Ethan takes his last breath the same time I do.
