"Unrequited love is the infinite curse of a lonely heart."

The stunning fear I felt for her sank deep beneath my stomach. Her long cherry red hair fell to the ground as she took her last breath. The deep stare she held me in, it had me terror-stuck. The thought of me not seeing her warm chest rise and fall each day had me weak in the knees. A part of me said that watching this finally happen was a miracle and that I had finally concurred her tragically powerful yet beautiful and sweet soul. The other halve was crying, breaking and turning to ash all at once.

The tragic tale of us; the villain and the heroine trapped together in unrequited love. The infamous cliché, never written or told to little princesses by their guardians in fear that they would become the heroine with the love for a villain or vice versa. The fear of their children not being like them disgusted them in a humorous way, uncomfortably laughing at the thought of it.

My hands trembled as I stood still on the sidewalk, watching her fall. Civilians ran from her and me, not caring if a girl had just been shot dead in front of them but only caring about their selves. That's just a part of whats wrong with the world, the disgusting self absorbed people. How could they not see that this poor girl needed help?  Should I help her? No, whats done is done. You can't go back, Michael, you should have killed the first girl.

As my thought over came me, the gun I held dropped to the hard ground as I felt strong hands grab my arms and pinning them back behind my back. I didn't struggle, instead I laid limp in their arms and allowed them to drag me into the police car.

I thought about all of the jail cells and court rooms I was yet to face after this. I thought about how her body would be in a morgue and how it would be cold and lifeless in someone else's arms. I regretted it now; but I felt numb like I had no more emotions, as if they died with her then would soon be buried six feet into the ground with her.

The tragic tale of the villain and the heroine had just now taken a twist, no mutual love, no connection, no happiness and now, no life.
