next chapter of Here on Earth.

Here on Earth

Pan's POV
***********************************************************************
Brian said,"Be my guest, Trunks," with a smirk on his face.
Trunks and I danced together for what seemed like hours. Then, he got a
funny look on his face.
"What's wrong?" I asked. He spun me around so I could see, just
in time to hear a loud crack. Trunks was frozen in time for a second
before he fell to the floor. I looked up.
Brian stood right in front of me laughing his head off. In his
hand he held a gun.
"Trunks!" I cried, bending down to him as Brian ran away.
"Trunks! Are you okay?"
He looked up and smiled at me. "I'll be fine."
I looked down. The bullet hole had gone right through.
I cried out, "Why Trunks? Why did you do that?"
His body cradled in my arms, he gasped,"Because I... love you."
I rocked him back and forth, choking out sobs. When I heard the
ambulance, I shook him. "Trunks?"
My scream pierced the night. My best friend, in my heart my one
true love, had just died in my arms.

Trunks's POV
***********************************************************************
I was dancing with Pan! It was like I was in heaven! I opened
my eyes to look at her, but instead looked past her. Her boyfriend
Brian was right behind her aiming a gun at her back. My brain screamed
'No!' as I heard her ask,"What's wrong?"
I spun around and felt the bullet go through my chest. I was
filled with immense pain before falling to the ground. I could hear his
cold laughter spinning around my head.
Pan cried,"Trunks! Are you okay?" I had to comfort her! I had
to! My brain and heart were screaming at me to tell her, tell her why I
had done that, before I left her.
"I'll be fine Pan," I told her. I could tell she saw right
through my act by the tears that welled up in her beautiful eyes when
she saw the bullet hole.
"Why Trunks?" she asked me. "Why did you do that?" My brain
shrieked 'Tell her!'
"Because I," I started,"love you." Then all the pain I felt
stopped as I closed my eyes for the last time.
