A Bullet for You

Hello.

Do you remember me? We met when we were very young. I was freezing, and alone. You were the only light, and the first one to break me out of my shell. The world always seemed a little brighter after that day. We grew up together, right? I wasn't ever very nice to you. You put up with me no matter what, though. I always admired that about you. When we talked, I was always the leading part of the conversation. You sat quietly while I spoke, hanging on every word. For a long time, I thought you were pretty stupid, for letting me use you like that. One day, I asked you if you would take a bullet for me. It was a simple question, and I knew I'd never do it for you, but I was curious. You simply smiled at me. We grew very close, until another light came. She took my attention from you, and I forgot that you existed. Did you forget me? Eventually, you disappeared, left in the shadows.

Today, I saw you. You were standing there, frightened, the barrel at your chest. I recognized you, and I reached out. Suddenly, it was very blurry. I saw a lot of red, and my hearing stopped. My ears are still ringing. My body is very numb, and I can define your shadow over me. Do you remember me? I loved you. Are those tears? Please don't cry... That was it, wasn't it? Now I remember. I always said that my worst fear was making you cry. I hurt you, didn't I? I don't know how to tell you I'm sorry...

What? I can't hear you. Where are you? I can barely see. Can you stop talking? It hurts my ears. I feel wet and warm all over. Everything is sticky and red. Can you do me a favor? Will you smile for me? I can't see you, so please tell me if you are. You are? Good. You know what's funny? I never thought I would be the one taking a bullet for you. Isn't that ironic?

Do you remember me? It's getting dark, and silent...

Are you...smiling?

That's...

This is amazing! I love how well you describe when they're dying! (I don't like people dying though, It's just good story material)
