Blossom found herself cornered against the wall. No where to run, no where to hide.

Her attacker smirked at her helplessness and took his handgun out of its hiding spot in

his pocket and pointed it at her. "Please don't kill me! I'll--"

"If you say 'I'll do anything', I might have to take that offer up." He said as he moved

closer and put his head in the crook of Blossom's neck, not removing his revolver from

its place next to Blossom's head.

"No way! Not that! I'd rather die first! I'm loyal to Dexter! I LOVE him! I hate you! I

always have and always will no matter what you do!" she said in a burst of bravery as

she pushed the too close man away.

"I'VE ALWAYS GONE AFTER YOU! WHAT DO YOU SEE IN THAT WEAKLING MORON! I've

fought him for you every step of the way! And now with your back against the wall you

still choose him? FINE! But remember this, if I can't have you! NOONE CAN!" he

snarled and took a few steps back, he pointed the gun at Blossom, who said a silent

prayer, closed her eyes, and braced herself for the end.

The shoot was fired.

Blossom expected a wave of pain that softened into her soul flowing out of her body, but

what she felt was a strong embrace and a few drops of liquid on her forehead, when she

opened her eyes, she saw her worst nightmare.

Dexter stood staring at her, his ocean blue eyes small as pin points, but soon they

dialated and blanked out. She brought a shaky hand to her forehead and touched the

liquid. When she looked at her finger tips they were smeared with blood that Dexter

had coughed up.

"NO!" she cried as loud as she possibly could and lowered Dexter onto the ground. She

checked neck for a pulse, then his wrist, and then got so desperate to find one, she put

her ear to his chest.

Nothing, not a sound, not a beat, not a pulse.

Her love was dead...

The shot made a lot of noise and brought forth a troop of patrolling police officers and

civilians and friends alike. Many people that were close to Dexter randomly started to

pop up by the scene of the crime.

But what was done was done...

Nothing could change that...

Right?
