Authors Note: Thanks to everyone who replied to the first chapter. The only reason I killed off Faith was for the plot. Don't worry; Faith is one of my favorite characters. If you don't like the plot, don't read it. ^^ Sorry this chapter is so short, I've been really busy lately and trying to squeeze in this story among Guns, Bullets, and Lies.
Entering the room slowly I closed the door behind me. I approached her bedside slowly taking in how much agony and anger she appeared like she was in. A part of me was happy with this, the other was crushed.
She slit her eyes open slowly staring back at me. "There's my star." A small whisper escaped her lips. I looked away from her, why did she have to do this to me? I asked myself sitting down beside her. Her dark eyes watched my closely.
"She's gone, Cruz." I stated my face slowly growing red with anger and turmoil. She looked at me confused at first, not understanding what I meant. After a minute or so she got it, by the pain on my face she knew what had happened. She had killed my best friend.
"Bosco, I was protecting myself." She replied in a hushed tone grimacing with pain. I knew she was right; Faith had turned the gun on her first. "I wasn't about to let her shoot me and ruin our case, ruining our chances at Beuford." She paused. "But no, Bosco had to go cry to his mommy that the big bad lady was going to get him in trouble. I was going to make you big Bosco, big. "
"That's not true." I said shaking my head and rubbing my eyes trying to fight the few tears that were crying to escape.
Cruz let out a small chuckle. "You just can't bear the thought that you killed your best friend, not me. If you just left well enough alone and left it to us, she wouldn't be dead." I didn't want to hear anymore. I stood up heading to the door.
"She's the one who interfered." I heard her say as I slammed the door behind me.
