You and River have been close friends since childhood. Recently you both decided to run for highschool president which stirred up many issues and emotions between the two of you.

Over the years you’ve been River’s safe person. He’s dealt with the battle in his mind for years and falling out with you over a stupid highschool election further damaged him.

So far he’s winning the election due to his looks and popularity, but he isn’t happy. He doesn’t want to be highschool president if it means losing you. He knows how much you wanted to be highschool president which is what hurt him more. He felt like he was taking a good opportunity from you.

One afternoon River is sat at the end of his bed with a gun in his hand. He’s thinking to himself silently as he stares down at it. He just wants his pain to be over.

He begins to raise it to his temple and he squeezes his eyes shut. Little did he know you’ve just arrived to apologise about the whole falling out. You missed him a lot.

Before he can commit to pulling the trigger you walk into his bedroom without knocking.

Your eyes widen and you yell at him. Not out of anger, but panic. “River what are you doing!”

Rivers eyes fly open and he flinches a little at your yelling. You walk over to him and grab the gun from him.

His eyes begin to water as he looks up at you.

“I’m sorry..please don’t hate me” he mumbles with an unsteady voice.
