A/N: Second/final part, this time from JJ's POV.
The crack is deafening
ringing loudly in your ears
You stumble towards her
sure in your actions.
Red spreads from beneath her
soaking into your slacks
staining the concrete with her life
You don't feel the tears start
Guilt consumes you as you stare at the wound
The bullet destined for you
Her actions saved you
She saved you
Her voice is hoarse
assuring you she is okay
Your fingers grope blindly for hers
Intertwining like a tangible grip on life
You agree with her
broken and sobbing but still strong
Normally cocoa eyes, turned black
desperately flutter closed
Prayers tumble from your lips like songs
Gasping for breath as you drown
You scream, deny the truth emphatically
It doesn't matter anymore
You pull her into your arms
chest pressing to hers, begging
A ragged breath streams from her lips
"I love you"
