"Alex from Target?" I bolted up.
"My Alex? The one who was arrested for running a Mexican drug operation?"
Daquan nodded solemnly. "In fact, he's right here."
Nothing happened for a few short seconds.
And then-
Alex appeared.
His hair was shorter, his eyes duller; but it was unmistakably him. He walked to my side slowly, as if in a trance, before hugging me so tightly I thought I'd suffocate.
"I missed you." he breathed.
"You got some explaining to do, assbutt." I said.
"Baby, I was only using Daquan to get close to you."
"Wait- so everything you said to me was a lie?" Daquan whispered, tears welling up in his eyes
"Sorry bruh." Alex shrugged.
"I thought you loved me!" Daquan from Staples shouted. "But I guess you never wanted me. Well if I can't have you no one can!"
Then, his hands shaking, he pulled out a gun.
It was aimed right at Alex's head.
"No!" I cried. "Daquan, you don't have to do this!"
"Yeah, fuck off, you retarded bunny." Daquan sneered at me.
He pulled the trigger.
"Noooooooo!" wailed Shaniqua from Chipoltle. Hers was an inhuman screech that rang through the store.
The events that happened next seemed to occur in slow motion.
Shaniqua dived in front of Alex. The bullet struck her in the heart.
"Someone call 911!" Kieran from T-Mobile yelled. Shaniqua lay on the floor, a dark stain spreading across her chest.
"Shaniqua, no." he whispered. I felt a twinge of sadness. I leaned close and muttered something in her ear.
"You died for a good cause." I said. "And you were good in bed."
Her eyes stopped darting around and went still.
"What have you done?" Kieran said. Rage was visible on his face. It contorted his features.
Daquan grinned sinisterly, raising the gun to his forehead. I heard another bang and imagined him pulling the trigger.
I looked away.
"Alex, we need to run!" I said. Turning to Kieran, I asked: "Can you take care of this?"
He nodded grimly. "I loved Shaniqua," he said, "I really did."
"Goodbye." I breathed, and left.
Alex and I were long gone by the time the police arrived.
We never spoke of this again.
