Christina POV
While Chase was at his locker I snuck up behind him and put my hands over his eyes. "Guess who."
He laughed and said, "I bet it's a really beautiful girl that I'm lucky to call mine."
I laughed and said, "No it's me Tiny." I removed my hands from his eyes and he turned around, "All I see is a beautiful girl that I'm happy to call mine." I smiled and we hugged. "So Chase where do you want to hang out?"
"Wanna come to my house?"
"Sure who's car do you want to take?"
He laughed and said, "We are taking my car."
"Okay, whatever."
He put his arm out for me to grab, "Let's go my lady."
I grabbed his arm and we walked out to his car.
We got into his blue 2016 Ford Focus and rode to his house. "So what do you wanna do when we get there?" I asked while he kept his eyes on the road.
"We could watch a movie or listen to music. But we have to do homework because I'm failing some of my classes."
"Awwww baby do you want me to tutor you."
"Please Tiny don't make me feel stupid."
I leaned over and kissed his cheek, "I'm sorry Chase. Your not stupid. Your one of the smartest guys I know."
He smiled and said, "Do you really mean that?"
"I would never lie to you Chase. And you would never lie to me right?"
He hesitated before he said, "Ummm yeah I wouldn't lie to you."
I ignored the fact that he hesitated and stared out the window for the rest of the ride. I've never been to his house before besides for his party and I was lowkey excited. This is the boy I loved since I was 11 and now I'm actually dating him. I've always wanted to go inside his house. "Tiny? Are you coming?" I shook out of my thoughts and got out the car. "Okay so we can do homework and then watch a movie," I suggested.
He laughed and said, "How about we watch a movie and then do homework."
"Okay but don't blame me when you fail because you don't do your homework," I stated.
"Whatever Tiny. So what movie do you want to watch."
"The notebook!"
He growled, "NO. We are not watching a chick flick."
"Please!"
"Okay we can watch the notebook," he gave in.
I laughed, "Really? That was so easy."
He turned on the movie and sat on the couch next me. We were snuggled together enjoying the movie when his phone started to ring in his pocket. First he ignored it but the person kept calling. "Sorry baby girl I have to take this." He got up and answered the phone. I wasn't trying to eavesdrop but I really wanted to know what they were talking about. I obviously couldn't hear what the person on the phone was saying but I heard what chase was saying.

"Why are you calling me? I gave you the money I thought we were done."

Who does he owe money too. I'm so confused but I continued to listen.

"I understand. I can't right now but I'll give you the gun back tomorrow."

Why does Chase have a gun? I still don't understand what's happening or who's on the phone.

"I know. He didn't die. But if you let me keep the gun for a little longer I can kill him for good."

At that moment I realized he was talking about Trevor. I couldn't listen anymore. CHASE ATTEMPTED MURDER! I was terrified. He still has the gun with him. I quickly put my stuff in my bag. I was about to leave when Chase came back into the room, "Tiny where are you going the movie isn't over?"
I started shaking and I struggled to say, "I don't want to be here anymore."
"Why not?" He asked confused.
He got closer to me and put his hands on my waist, "Chase don't touch me!"
"What's your problem?"
I could hardly get the words out, "You,- you.......... You shot Trevor."
He rolled his eyes and asked, "How'd you know that? And why do you care?"
"Because I'm dating a murderer."
He tried to touch me as he said, "Baby don't be scared of me I would never hurt you."
He put his hand on my cheek, "Chase stop. We're done."
"No please don't break up with me I'll give you money, jewelry, a gun anything," he said on his knees.
I crossed my arms, "Are you that desperate?"
"For you, yes."
"No matter what you say or do I will never be with you ever again. You tried to kill someone. Your a psycho," I said through tears.
He started to yell, "So you do love him. Is that why you care so much. That's why I tried to kill him because he is taking my girl away from me."
I rolled my eyes, "First of all that's no reason to shoot someone. Second of all i don't belong to Trevor. I don't even love Trevor I don't love you either and I never will be your girl."
I walked out of his house and ran home.

I know I should tell Trevor that his best friend tried to kill him. But I don't ever want to see his face again. Though his face is so handsome and irresistible, he has a face that says, 'baby I was made to break your heart.' Which is exactly what he did. He doesn't deserve to know who shot him. And if he does it won't be from me. Life is so difficult. I'm tired of trying. I lost my dad, my crush, my boyfriend, my friends and now my life. My family won't care. No one will care. My mom and sister aren't home so they can't stop me. I find a sticky note and put it on the fridge. I write, 'Sorry mom. I know you told me not too but I'm letting go.' Tears start to fill my eyes as I finish writing the note to my mom. I go upstairs and turn on the bath water and plug the drain. I sit on the floor by the tub and watch as the water rises. As I wait for the water to fill the tub I think of everyone who would be happy that I'm gone. When the water fills the tub I get in with all my clothes on. I don't turn off the water.
I breathe in the water. Letting the water fill my lungs. Before I could get out the tub after realizing this was a bad idea everything goes black.

(Authors Note: OMG Chase shot Trevor? Are you guys surprised? Christina is committing suicide. R.I.P. Christina. Tell me how you like the chapter.)
