One Single Gun Shot
by: Brat Girl
I have seen and heard many scary sounds in my life. I've heard screams as people were killed and just the sounds of people dying. But, the worst sound I've ever heard is a single gun shot. That single gun shot was what ended Jake's life.
Everything was gong along fine. Things were looking hopeful. We had discovered a yeerk pool and were planning to destroy it.
On the way there, I cracked jokes as usual, trying to get everyone in a better mood. It didn't work.
We morphed bugs to get inside and after a little investigating, prepared to fight.
I had morphed gorilla. I went after a Taxxon forcing people into cages.
I fought good and hard and almost had him done for. But before I had a chance to blink, I got hit from behind by another Taxxon. It was hard, but with the help of Jake, we killed them.
Since I was hurt pretty bad, I hid behind a crate and morphed back to human to rejuvenate myself. Just as I finished morphing, I heard a sound behind me. I caught a glismp of a human controller just before I was hit in the head with a pipe.
From listening to Cassie later, I knew that Jake had seen what happened and saved me before I had my brains bashed out. With the help of the others, he pulled me to safety and got me some help.
I was just waking up in the hospital, when I heard Jake talking.
"Marco, I hope you forgive me. I tried to save you. I should never have left you alone to morph," He said, "Please forgive me. I must do this. See you in heaven, buddy." With that he pulled the trigger and fell down on the bed.
His blood soaked through the sheets onto me. I sat up and screamed louder than I have ever screamed in my life.
That was two weeks ago. I have forgiven Jake for what he did. He was under a lot of stress, but he didn't deserve to die. I somehow feel it's my fault he killed himself. So this is why, I'm writing this down. These are my last words.
Forever,
Marco

I picked up the gun.
"Here I come, Buddy."
