Brian coughed and choked as he slowly lifted his head, looking up at Melissa. "You'll...never forget...me. You'll....n...never forget....what I DID to...you," he choked out, before gasping for one last breath of air, as his head laid back on the ground, lifeless.
JC looked up and started racing towards the bridge to Melissa, as a shot was fired up into the air, causing both JC and Melissa to freeze. "NOT so fast!!!!" Nick yelled, holding a gun up in the air. "You killed my best friend!! Do you ACTUALLY think you're gonna get away with that Chasez?!"
Melissa sniffled and gasped for air, starting to shake again. Just when she thought her nightmare was over, another one was beginning. JC looked up at Melissa, then he looked back at Nick. "Carter give it up! Just drop the gun and let it go! It's over!"
"NO! It's NOT over! In fact, it's FAR from over!" Nick trembled as he pointed the gun at JC, then aimed it back at Melissa.
Kevin walked towards Nick, "Nick, man he's right! Brian's gone! We need to just give it up!" Nick whirled around and pointed the gun at Kevin, "You TRAITOR! How can you side with them! LOOK at what they did to Brian!! He's DEAD!" Nick yelled, as he gasped for air.
JC bit his lip as he watched Nick fighting with Kevin. He started inching towards Melissa very slowly, so he wouldn't draw Nick's attention back to them. But Nick turned around and noticed what JC was doing. "STOP right there! DO NOT get any closer to her!"
"NICK!! Just let it go and drop the gun!" Kevin yelled.
Nick sniffled and shook his head. "No I won't. Do you think I'm actually gonna let them get away with what they did to Brian? Not without making them pay, I'm not!"
Melissa sighed hard and looked down at JC, who was looking back up at her. JC kept his eyes locked on hers as he slowly mouthed "I love you." Melissa sniffled and took deep breaths trying to control her shaking as she mouthed "I love you too" back to him.
"I THINK we've made them pay enough!" Kevin said, trying to reason with Nick. Nick slowly shook his head as he turned his attention back to JC and Melissa, watching what they were doing. "No we haven't. But I know EXACTLY how to make them pay," he hissed, as he watched JC and Melissa saying "I love you" back and forth to each other.
"Get a GOOD, LONG last look, Chasez! Pretty little thing isn't she??" JC's head snapped around towards Nick looking at him, not liking the statements he was saying. Melissa gasped and coughed for a breath of air as she looked back at Nick.
"You took my best friend away from me!! NOW I'm gonna take something away from you!!!" Nick yelled in anger. Before JC had a chance to act, Nick had cocked the gun back and shakily pointed it at Melissa.
"Nighty night, MELISSA!!!" Nick screamed, as he fired the gun at her, shooting her and making her fall backwards off the bridge into the river below.
