She doesn't know this, but I love her. I know why she left me. It's that Wagner kid. She digs him, for some reason. But she won't go with him, even though he's asked her.
It's because of me. I said I'd kill any guy she got with, unless it were me. I feel bad, cuz I know how she feels, a bit. She loves him, but can't be with him. I love her, but can't be with her. The difference is, he loves her back.
That's where I don't know how it feels. I almost had a taste, once. She kissed me. It must be almost what love feels like. Almost, but not quite.
I watch them, across the hall. They talk. They smile. Her hand touches his shoulder, and I know what it's doing to him. I sigh. I know what I've got to do. I start over there. She sees me, and a scared look crosses her face. It kills me. What did I do?
But now, she's not looking at me. People are screaming. They're diving away from this one kid. They duck to the sides of the hall, blocking their faces, covering their heads with their hands. Some cling to each other.
Only four of us are still standing: me, Kitty, Wagner and the other kid. I don't know his name, but I've seen him around, always hurrying to his next class. He's got glasses, braces and pimples. And a gun. He's pointing it straight at Kurt. Kitty's looking terrified. Everyone is. I am.
"No," she whispers.
The kid is crying.
I don't know what to do.
I wasn't trained for this.
I haven't been trained against guns.
I don't know what to do.
I'm frozen.
I hear the loud explosion.
The loudest I've ever heard, and my eyes close themselves.
Everyone screams. But not Kitty. Instead, I hear Kurt's yell.
I open my eyes. She's laying there, in his arms. There's blood on the front of her shirt. She must have stepped in front of him.
"Kurt," I hear her say.
"Kitty, no. Don't - I love you. Please don't. I love - don't go! Kitty! Kitty!"
But she doesn't answer him.
The kid is standing there, shaking. He's staring at Kitty, at the blood on her shirt. He's crying. I'm crying. Kitty. . .
Kurt takes her hand in his, and kisses it. He slips off the watch he always wears, and puts it in her hand, which he puts to her chest.
People are really screaming now. Kurt stands up, his visage showing clear for all to see. And they do see. And they scream. The kid drops the gun as Kurt advances on him.
I just look at Kitty. I got almost a taste, once. Kurt got nothing, yet he's the one who's over there beating the crap out of that kid, while I sink to my knees, helplessly. "Kitty. . ."
End
A/N: Oh, that song in the second chapter is a really old (and slow) one called 'Nights in White Satin'. I'm sure you've heard of 'Hanging by a Moment'
