Hannah’s P.O.V
Erin was dragged out of the room by Sarah’s men and I screamed out for her but Kyle shut me up with a strong back-hand to the left side of my face causing me to spit blood onto his floor.

“What do you want from me?” I cried “What did I ever do to you?!”

“You rejected me too many times, Hannah,” He said lowly as he circled me in the chair “You couldn’t have just given me one little date, could you?”

“What? And lead you on? Make things worse?!” I shot back.

“If you had you would live to see your wedding day!” He roared. He moved quickly and punched me in the gut as hard as he could making me cough up more blood “You…” He trailed off, walking over to the table and lifting some horrifying looking contraption “Are going to die in here,”

A scream emitted from Erin in the other room “Just like you’re girlfriend,”

“NO!” I screamed as he came towards me with the thing slowly, a sadistic smirk on his face
“HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME!” As if on cue, Matt came bursting through the door from outside and sent a fist flying into Kyle’s jaw, knocking him to the ground.

“Hannah,” Matt breathed “Thank God,” He kissed me quickly before moving to remove the wire from my wrists, but he just groaned in frustration while I bit my lip and tried my hardest not to cry out from the pain of the wire moving “It’s stuck, I can’t get it off,” He looked around the room frantically before his eyes landed on something over the other side of the room, he hurried over and back with a large knife, the sight of it made me tense.

“What the fuck are you going to do with that thing?” I asked worriedly, trying to back away from him a little.

“Relax, I’m not cutting anything off, but when I do this you have to move quickly, okay?” I nodded although I was still confused. He took the knife and slid it between my skin and the wire before pulling up so that the wire lifted off of my wrist and I could pull out, which I did while crying out in pain, the skin was tearing off and blood was pouring out. After pulling my second wrist free I was in an insane amount of pain, I could hear Erin screaming in the other room.

Matt untied my feet and I pushed myself out of the chair and made quickly for the door but before I could get there I was spun around and pressed against the wall beside it. Matt yelled something, but it all happened so quickly, Kyle had me against the wall, I hadn’t even noticed him get up, never mind him grabbing the knife he stabbed me with. Matt grabbed him just a second too late, sending him to the floor before he climbed on top of him and started beating the shit out of him, bruises quickly forming around Kyles face which was swelling too, blood pouring from his mouth and the sounds of bones crunching filled the room, Matt climbed to his feet when Kyle stopped moving and stomped on his skull.

“Matt…”

Matt whipped around and tears filled his eyes when he saw me. I looked down as I held the large blade that was sticking into my stomach, blood poured between my fingers like never before, I took a shaky breath and fell to my knees, Matt dropped in front of me and covered my hand with his larger one, trying to put pressure on my wound, but I knew what I had to do.

It was the night after the swimming pool at Matt’s place, we’d eaten and then gone at it again, more lovingly this time and on the sofa, where we now lay, me on his chest with only a throw covering us.

“Matt?” I whispered.

“Yeah?” He mumbled.

“I have a way out… if I need one,” He looked at me, completely confused “Jimmy helped Erin and I, he gave us a way out if we ever needed one, a way for us to end it all,”

“What do you mean?” He asked. I pushed myself up so I could look into his eyes “Hannah,” He pried.

“He gave us capsules, in our back teeth that we can burst when we want to end everything, if we’re in too much pain, if we’re about to die-“

“Don’t,” He cut me off “I can’t imagine you dying, I can’t see myself living a life without you in it anymore,”

“It’s only if I need to take the pain away, Mattie,”

“Hannah,” Matt said softly, snapping me out of my flashback “I need you to breathe in for me on three, okay?” I nodded and he counted, on three I took a breath in and he pulled the blade out quickly making me scream out and tears to pour from my eyes once again, but soon… the pain stopped and I realised I’d done it… I bit the capsule. I fell to the ground and Matt caught me just before I hit it, he cradled me, rocking me, telling me everything was going to be alright, that I was strong and I would make it… but I knew he was wrong.

“Thank you…” I smiled weakly.

“For what?” He asked, the tears finally rolling down his cheeks.

“Giving me the best months of my life,” I started to cry with him my body shaking from the capsule that was slowly taking over my body “I love you, Matt. You’ve made me happier than I ever thought I could be,”

“Stop it,” He cried “Don’t talk like that, you’re going to get through this,”

“I’m always going to be with you,” I told him through another shaky breath “Just don’t… don’t forget about me, okay?”

“Never,”

Matt’s P.O.V
The love of my life was dying in my arms, and there was nothing I could do to stop it, there was no doubt in my mind that she had ended this herself because she didn’t want him to be the cause of her death.

Another sob wracked my body as I completely lost all of my control, my manliness and my dignity at once, but I couldn’t care anymore, Hannah was dying.

“Forever?” She asked, weakly lifting her hand and sticking up her pinkie finger which I linked with mine.

“Forever,” The sound of gunfire filled my ears from the other room, and I knew what was happening, something on Hannah’s face told me that right then, one part of her was dying… Erin.

She smiled weakly once again before one last breath slipped from her mouth, she stilled and then went weak in my arms, I cried and sobbed like never before, pressing my lips gently against hers as though a kiss would bring her back.

“No!” I roared.

I placed her on the ground and leaned over her, placing my hands onto the middle of her chest and starting chest compressions, before mouth to mouth and then back to compressions, desperately trying to start her heart again. She wouldn’t leave me like this. She couldn’t leave me like this, I’m nothing without her anymore.

The sound of Brian’s cries made it hit me like a ton of bricks, they were both gone, taken away from us but taken together. But we would never have justice for this.

Johnny walked into the room, ready to tell me something, but he stopped when he saw me.

“Matt, stop!” He said loudly, pulling me off of her “She’s gone,” His voice was breaking I collapsed into the much smaller man’s arms and cried but only for a moment before I took a deep breath and wiped my eyes, I put my arms under Hannah and lifted her off of the ground, closing her eyes and walked out of the room, where I found Brian carrying Erin in exactly the same way, Zack following him as Johnny did me.

What was I supposed to do now?
