  "Bell?"
  "Yes Aly?"
 "I have to tell you something but you can't tell anyone, not a soul...do you swear to it?"

"You swor you'd never tell! You swor!"
I stumble backwards, "I didn't know what that damn secret was! God damn it All! What the hell were you thinking?!"
she yells back at me crying, still pointing that gun at me, "I wasn't thinking! Alright? And now you know-" she cuts off to swollow her spit and to wipe off the rain water that's drenching us in thses woods, "You know what they say," she chuckles darkly, 

"Two can keep a secret if one of them... is dead."

The gun goes off.
