The Bitter End

Prologue

"I didn't do it."

Those four words pierce the silence within the room as Hunter took a step back. He stood in the middle of his trashed apartment, the clock was about to strike 11. The sound of the T.V echoed in the other room, the world remained ever so oblivious by the event that had occurred. He kept his eyes locked on his friend in front of him, the gun pointed straight at him.

"Dustin." He slowly put his hand up, "Please don't do this. You're making a grave mistake."

The brunette stepped out of the shadow, the small light over Hunter's ceiling shined upon him. Hunter remained motionless, his fear shivered through his body. A trickle of tears fell down Dustin's face as he clenched the weapon in his hand. His eyes showed mix emotions of anger and pain.

"All this time I thought you were my friend." The brunette's voice cracked at each word, "You bastard."

"Dustin." Hunter tried to reason with him, "The radio. The speech. What about everything you said. You know I wouldn't do this to you."

"This was before I found the truth!" He screamed over his voice, "You killed my father! You lied to me! All this time, it was you!" He took a few steps forward and loaded the gun, "And now you will pay."

Down on the streets, Tori and Shane ran as fast as they could. They stopped at the bottom steps of the building and looked up at Hunter's window. The sound of gun fire echoed the room, the two of them glanced at each other. They dashed into the building and up the stairs, Shane quickly kicked up the door and they ran inside. Tori screamed at the top of her lungs, grabbing Shane by the shirt.

"Oh my god." She buried her face, "No! Shane, please tell me this didn't happen."

Shane remained speechless as he looked at the scene in front of him, in the eyes of the one that was holding the gun.

"We were too late." He whispered, "Why did you do it!?" He screamed at him.
