Elie ran up to the house where Bradin was holding himself. She looked around for Bradin's family.
"Elie!" Nikki yelled.
She ran up to them and stopped when Jay stepped in front of her. "How could you show your face here?" he asked, "You're the reason he's doing this. Get the hell out of here before I kill you."
"Jay!" Nikki screamed making Ava walk up to them.
"What's going on?" Ava asked noticing Elie glaring at Jay.
"I was just leaving," Elie told Ava.
"No!" Nikki screamed, "You're the only one that Bradin wants to talk to."
"She put him in there!" Jay hollared at the fourteen year old girl, "She should be the one wanting to kill herself."
"Fine," Elie said, "Don't expect me to come to his funeral." She walked away.
Bradin sat on his bed trying to ignore everything that was happening outside of where he was. He held the gun in his hands and just stared at it. He didn't even know why he was doing this. He put his head phones on and just started listening to music. He moved so that he was sitting up with his back was on the wall by his headboard. As he listened to the music, tears formed in and escaped his eyes thinking of what he was doing. He got up, walked to his door, and opened it to find Elie standing there.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
"I thought I could stop you," she said with no emotion, "After all, I DID put you here."
He looked at her with confusion and shook his head. "Why are you here?"
"I told you already. I'm here to stop you."
"The real reason," he told her. He walked into his room and picked up the gun. He looked up at her and saw her with a gun. "What are you doing?"
"If you do it, then I do it, too," she told him.
"Elie-"
"Why the hell are you doing this?" she asked, "Why are you threatening to kill yourself?"
"I don't know," he said sitting on his bed, "After I pushed you and saw you run off, I thought that I was going to turn into an abusive guy. I didn't want that. And, I'm sorry that I pushed you. My anger got the best of me."
"Sometimes, when people do what you did, they realize that it was wrong and never do it again," she told him, "They don't hold themself in their room with cops and news crews outside waiting to see what they're going to do."
"Elie, I don't get you one bit."
"As you have heard, I lied about my life, most of it that is. But to what I was saying, you should have waited for me to come around. I would have told you as soon as I stopped thinking about it. You're my boyfriend. You should wait until I'm ready to talk about it."
"But, two weeks?" he asked.
"It shouldn't matter how long it takes. You need to understand what I needed to think about. You saw what happened, Bradin. You should understand that."
"I haven't been in a relationship this long. As a matter of fact, I haven't been in this type of relationship ever. I don't know what to do or how. How did you get by the cops?"
She shrugged. "I snuck in where there were no cops or anything. However, why didn't you just end it if this was too much for you?"
"Beause I love you," he told her, "I can't imagine what I would do without you, Elie."
Everyone outside of the house waited to see what Bradin would do. Ava felt bad for forcing Elie to go like she did. She didn't even let the teenage girl explain her side. As everyone waited, a gun shot shattered Bradin's window followed by another one that no one knew where it went.
