I am going to be mean and not let you guys use your imagination and am going to write the next chapter of the story anyway.

XxX

He just didn't get it. Was it all real? He tried telling himself he was dreaming; even pinching his arm, but the truth was all around him. He had to face it. She was gone. He suddenly heard her name, but then realized it was his own voice that said it.

"Dan?" Dan turned to face the person who spoke.

"Oh, hey Marucho…" Surprisingly, it came out calm and quiet, but anyone could hear the sadness and anger that coated the words.

Marucho inched closer to Dan, not knowing if he was about to break down or not. He cautiously raised his hand to rest on Dan's shoulder.

"I'm…sorry." That was all it took before Dan exploded.

"WHY! Why did it have to be them! First Shun, and then Runo! Why does god hate me? What did I do?" Dan was hysterical. His loud shouting made Marucho inch a step or two away from him.

Marucho was so shocked by Dan's outburst/breakdown, that he didn't notice the large piece of glass Dan now held in his hand. When he finally did take notice, he immediately tried to pull the shard from Dan's grasp.

"Dan…NO! You…can't…do this!" cried Marucho as he finally succeeded at getting the shard.

But Dan didn't give up.

Dan grabbed the shard from his hands and aimed it at his own chest. Marucho was quick to try and stop him, but knew the amount of determination Dan held when it came to seeing Runo.

"Dan, this is so stupid! Do you think Runo would really want this for you?!" Marucho shrieked, trying to face Dan and, at the same time, grab the shard.

"I don't care! I would do whatever it takes to see her again! I love her! I don't care what you think of me! I don't care what anyone thinks!!" Dan screamed, determination oozing from his words.

Marucho's hand was now covered in blood. As he looked at the red substance he felt slightly dizzy and he loosened his grip on the shard. Dan took this opportunity to yank the shard from his hand.

"Dan…don't."

"I...I have to…" was the answer.

Dan looked around the wrecked dining room. Was it possible? Had he heard the right thing?

"Don't."

He looked around again and this time, noticed something else.

"Please….don't…do…it."

"I…I…"

And there you have it!

I am so mean aren't I?

Dan: Man, you know, you really suck at cliffhangers!

Me: Yeah, well deal with it! I am really bad at endings, but technically this isn't the end! Review the lovely chapter to prove that I do not COMPLETELY suck at writing so that I may not feel bad and continue the suckish story.
