It Starts, It Ends

I can't keep doing this. You'd think that, by now, I would have realized that I should just stay away from people. No matter what I do, I hurt them. And then they hurt me back. (TRIGGER WARNINGS: SELF-HARM, ATTEMPTED SUICIDE, DEPRESSION) (Also, may contain cursing.)

It Starts, It Ends

Chapter 9

Sorry about how long it took to update, but this is probably going to be how the updates work for a while, if not the rest of the story. I'm busy with school, so updates will probably be on the weekends. I know I make excuses for not updating my stories a lot, but I really feel like I have to focus on my schoolwork.

Anyway, here you go:

~A moonlit night,

They're all asleep,

My final moments,

Please don't weep.~

It's the middle of the night. I could see Yukio sleeping across the room. I watched him for a while. It's the last time I see him, after all…

I'm sorry, Yukio.

Take the gun,

And slip outside,

To the roof,

Run and hide.~

I silently snuck out of bed and went to the place Yukio keeps his gun. Since he found out I cut myself, he's been locking it in a small chest. With a sigh, I broke the lock. I took out the gun and left the room, shutting the door quietly. Then, I ran to the roof.

~Load a bullet,

Meant for demons,

Fitting for myself,

My breathing's uneven.~

I loaded a bullet into the gun. It's the highest concentration of holy-water bullet Yukio has.

I'll end my life the way a demon's life should end…

My breath grew quicker.

~Gun to temple,

Just three words,

"Well, goodbye world,"

SLAM! I heard.~

I raised the gun to my temple and took a deep breath.

"Well, goodbye world," I said softly.

Just as I was about to pull the trigger, I heard a loud SLAM! behind me.

Okay, quick question: would you all prefer for this story to end sadly, happily, or a mixed bag? I already know how it's going to end, but I'm kind of curious about your opinion.
