Bianca held Marissa's hand. Tad was making a beautiful speech about love, Erica was being her usual diva-self, and Bianca was with the woman she loved. Maybe, someday, she and Marissa would be married. The laws on same-sex marriage were evolving. And even if they didn't Bianca and Marissa could always just vow to always love each other. They were already living together, Miranda and Gabby were becoming siblings with AJ. They were a family now. Then Bianca heard the gunshots. Without even thinking she stepped in front of her girlfriend. Then she fell, she saw blood on Marissa's dress. The first thought was horrifying, had her beloved been hurt. Then Bianca realized that Marissa was screaming, begging Bianca to be okay. Bianca realized she had been shot. She was relieved that Marissa was okay, but she tried to fight to live, to see her children again. Bianca soon saw others. Some others from the party were standing over her, but Marissa was gone now. Bianca was confused, where was Marissa. Then she saw her father, her grandmother Mona, David and Annie's daughter Leora, other children who had died. Then Bianca realized what had happenned. She had been murdered, so had these two others at the party. Bianca was glad to see these people again, but she knew she's be leaving her girls behind. Either way, it seemed Bianca had little choice in the matter. Someone had taken that life away from her.
