Lead Suicide...

The girl has tears rolling down her face as she pulls a gun against her head. She was scared and couldn’t stop trembling until she heard someone coming from behind. She hid the gun until she saw that it was her friend.

“Why are you doing this?” he asked.
“Cause it’s my fault…” she replied in a shaky voice.
“This isn’t the answer!” he said.
The girl paused and looked at the gun. More tears crept down her face.

“Just because he is gone, doesn’t mean it’s the end of the world.”
“That’s not the point!” she yelled. “You would never understand!”

She pulled the gun against her head and was about to pull the trigger but the boy spoke.

“Why kill yourself over him? It’s not your fault that he died. He tried to save you and you’re going to throw away what he sacrificed for you?”
“I have to…”
“Alexa, he isn’t the only one who loves you… I love y…” before he could finish, the girl shot herself.

The boy had tears coming down and he knelt down in front of her.

Why did I let her...

“Why?!?” he screams.
