I raised the pistol, and placed it against my temple.

'It won't hurt.' My mind consoled in its sick twisted way.

"It won't hurt." I repeated softly, my lips drawn apart for only a second while softly saying them, "It can't hurt as much as…"

My eyes clenched shut.

I wouldn't let the tears fall.

Not now.

I had to be strong.

It was the only way.

"Why does it have to be this way?" I asked to nobody but myself.

Why did it?

Why must it?

'You are going to be with her again, just do it.' My mind demanded.

"I c-can't, she wouldn't want this…would she?" I questioned once again-my voce cracked, I was unsure.

'She misses you, stop being weak!' My inner voice yelled.

My heart clenched and my stomach churned as I clicked off the safety with my thumb clumsily.

My palms were sweaty.

My mind was right…she…she would want this…

Licking my lips I held the silver gun harsher. The hand holding it was shaking so violently that I jokingly wondered if just my arm was having a seizure.

I let out a bitter laugh at my own thought.

Then hot tears gathered in my eyes, and spilled down my cheeks.

"I love you Carmelita, I'm coming." I promised.

My thumb found it's way to the safety once again, and clicked it back on reluctantly.

I sat down the gun, and sat down on my bed.

Drawing my knees up to my chest, I wept.

"Just not today my love…just not today…" I murmured in regret.

Oh how I wish it were today.
