"You don't have feelings for me, you are obsessed. God Justin what did I ever do to you besides not have feelings for you. There were tons of girls who wanted you. Why were you fixed on me?" I asked

"Because I love you."

"You don't love me. Don't you see that? If you truly loved me then you would have ben happy for me when Hayden and I got together. You would be happy that I was with the one person that I love." I said as I started to cry.

"You don't love him." He said as he stood up, mad.

"Yes I do. and you know what. No matter what you do to me tonight, nothing will change that. Go ahead, kill me, but what good is that going to do? It won't change my feelins for you and you'll go to jail. Do you really want to ruin your life because of your infatuatuion that you have over me." I said as he started to pace back and forth.

"I am not infatuated." He yelled as he pointed the gun back at me.

"Ok, ok I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please just untie me, I promise I won't try to run." I said as I looked up at him. His eyes softened and I could tell he was considering it.

"How do I know that you are telling me the truth?" He asked as he went to untie me but then stopped.

"Honestly, you don't know. But if you trust me, you'll know I am." I said. He thought about it for a minute and then bent over to untie me. As he was trying to free my left hand, Hayden opened the door and came inside and shut the door without making a noise. He slowly crept up behind Justin, and as he was trying to untie the rope that was around my ankles Hayden motioned for me to not do or say anything. When Justin finally untied my feet and stood up Hayden hit him in the back of the head with a piece of wood that he must have found outside. Justin fell onto the ground and I ran over and jumped into Hayden's arms.

"Thank God, oh my God I was so scared." I said as I kissed him.

"It's alright now. The police will be here soon I just called them from my cell when I saw you through the window." He said as he pointed towards a window that was boarded up, but one of the boards had come loose and was slightly slanted.

"Help me get Nikki untied. I don't want to be in here for another minute." I said as I turned around. Nikki was still sitting in her chair, wide-eyed and not moving. We took the tape from around her mouth and untied her. Once she was free from her restraints she hugged me.

"Oh my God." Was all she said as she started pointing behind us.

We turned around to see Justin standing there, but this time he was pointing the gun at Hayden. Everything went in slow motion at that point, I looked straight at Hayden and I could see his finger pulling the triger. Then I did something I never thought I would do, I jumped infront of Hayden as the bullet hit me in my stomach. The next thing I remember I fell to the ground and I could see Hayden and Nikki kneeled over me crying, Then I looked over at Justin who now had the gun pointed at his own head. He lookd around at the three of us and said he was sorry. I tried to yell stop, or no, or anything but I couldn't speak, and I watched as he shot himself. His body fell a few feet from mine and as I looked back at Nikki and Hayden they looked over at Justin's body in pure shock. They looked back down at me, and everything started to become blurry and hazzy as I looked down at Hayden. His white shirt was covered in blood. My blood. The two colors contrasted painfully. I looked into Hayden's eyes and everything went dark.
