A/N: i know I did this already, but i got this idea of an ending and now i have to write it.  This ending happens back when seabury tried to get alex to shoot John

-Alex-

"Kill John or I'll put a bullet in both of you" he growls.

"Woah! Woah, hang on there. I'm not killing anyone. So if you could just-"

I hear a click as he pulls back the lever or whatever its called on the gun.

"O-o-ok you're serious about t-this... Who... Who are you?" I stuttered.

"The guy who hired you to kill John Laurens. Here, I'll give you 10 thousand dollars right now if you kill him." He pulls out a wad of cash.

"No! I'm not going to kill john!" I reach up to move the gun away from me, but Seabury moves it anyway as he pulls out his wallet.

"Ugh fine. I'll give you 1 million dollars right now if you shoot him."

I paused. "I'm sorry what? Don't maake jokes like that... I have a gun too."

"Look for yourself." He tosses me his wallet so i look inside. And sure enough...

I had so many questions. First off, how does a guy have a million dollars to spend on hiring a hitman? And since seabury just has that much money lying around, Why can't they just move away from John? Then again, I can't really say much considering I technically have that much money lying around...

I hand Seabury back his wallet and hesitantly take out my gun.

"Alex?" John says.

"I'm sorry but... It is my job." I reply, not turning to face him. I look back at Seabury. "And you're sure you want john dead? Once the jobs done, you can't get a refund-"

"I don't care. Just kill him! Meet me at the hotel entrance for your pay." And with that, he leaves.

John turns to me. "Surely you aren't actually considering this? I thought you loved me..."

"I did- I mean i do! But... Love is a bit of a strong word and this is my job..."

"So thats it." He glares at me. I swear if looks could kill, I'd be dead before I could pull the trigger on John. "And to think I trusted you... but you're just some asshole ready to take people's lives... my life for a couple of bucks. An absolute jackass."

A 'jackass' you say? Well then John. Way to make things things easier.

"Well John. You sure have a way with words. I think I'm starting to see why Seabury wants you dead. You truly are annoying and... You got in my way to the point where I'm going to be killed if i don't do my job."

I check to make sure my gun is loaded
There's one bullet left.

"Maybe..." I sigh. "Maybe i did love you. But after seeing how quick you were to turn against me, I don't think you felt the same way. Yet, I remember you saying something along the lines of loving me no matter what. So guess what Laurens?"

I could tell he regreted saying anything. "W-what Alex?"

I shoot him directly in the head

"The feelings not mutual"



Man I love angst.
