54.

Ethan quickly turns around. He faces..

A I D E N?!...

Ethan gasps softly. "You?-" he begins but Aiden pulls out a gun.

Ethan froze.

His heart dropped to the pt of his stomach.

Was this really happening right now?

Ethan doesn't remember how to breathe correctly.

Aiden sighs.

He looks almost forced.

He looks up and meets Ethan's eyes, whom were tearing up.

Ethan realizes he was about to start crying as soon as he feels tears stinging In his eyes.

"Why..?" He asks.

Aiden looks at the floor.
"Ethan, you were my target from the beginning." He says.

Ethan frowns as a tear rolls down his cheek. "What?" He mumbles.
Aiden sighs.

"I had to" he says.
Ethan wipes his eyes.
"But you-?" He mutters.

Aiden smiles softly.
"Ethan. I like you.
It was my mission to do this. But I felt something more toward you." He says.

Ethan blinks as he tries to see through the tears that are swelling In his eyes. "Why are you doing this?" He asks.

Aiden stays silent.

"Did you like Casey too then?" Ethan asks.
Aiden shakes his head.
"It wasn't that hard to.. Fuck! Ethan I'm madly I'm love with you. I can't do this." He manages to bring out and he drops his gun.

Ethan raises an eyebrow. "Why do you need to kill me anyways?" He asks. Aiden looks at him.

"I was the one to kill Casey, Ethan." He says.
Ethan frowns. "So..?" He says.

Aiden looks at him.
"I once murdered someone." He says. Ethan rubs his eyes.

"My father told me to kill anyone who knew about it. That includes you." Aiden says and looks at Ethan.

Two.

There were Two bullets in the gun Aiden had in his hand.

"I can't even live like this anymore, Ethan. I dont want to kill people. It's not right." Aiden says.

Ethan looks at the gun. He inspects it a little better. Save mode was not on. He was really gonna shoot.

Ethan sighs. "Aiden," he says. Aiden refuses to look him in the eye.

Ethan scoffs. "Aiden, look at me." He says. Aiden looks up. Ethan could only now see how tired he looked.

"I'm- sorry,... Ethan." Aiden mumbles and cocks the gun. Ethan blinks.

This was really happening.

He just wanted to check the house. Incase It would lead to who killed Casey. It did in fact lead him to the killer.

Aiden raises his gun.

Ethan waits for him to pull the trigger.

It was okay.

Just one shot.

It will be done in a second.

"Aiden." Ethan mumbles.

Aiden looks at him.

"Yeah?"

"I liked you too. Sorry."
Ethan says.

Aiden's eyes widen.

He lowered the gun a bit.

"Oh"

"Oh"

Was the last thing Ethan would remember Aiden saying, Ever. Cause at that moment, Aiden pulled out a can of gasoline and threw it on the floor.

Ethan almost falls backwards as he moves his foot.

Aiden moves the gun to Ethan's forehead.

His finger slowly pulls the trigger. "Sorry." He mumbles.

Ethan closes his eyes.

The sound of a gunshot was heard and it went blank.

Aiden looks at Ethan's body collapsing onto the floor. He looks at him.

He pulls a lighter out of his back pocket.

Two bullets.

Two people.

Two gunshots.

One house.

One story.

Aiden clicks the lighter on.

He throws the lighter on the floor.

The house quickly starts burning up.

He raises the gun to the side of his head.

He pulls the trigger.

He falls down onto his knees as a bullet shot right through his skull.

Into the puddle of blood.

He collapses next to Ethan as the house was set on fire.

Burning everything away.

The flames licking the walls and their bodies.

The sounds of sirens can be heard.

One loud ringing and a white light.

Till...

Nothing.

Gone.

Everything.

Ethan and Aiden.

Gone.
Dead.
Burned.
