what is there to say?
my friend was in love with a girl
they had been an on and off couple for some years
mostly on...
beginning back when they were still in high school
he must have been deeply in love with her
she had feelings for him as well
but she insisted that she not be tied down
she wanted to run with other friends of hers
and, I suppose, see other young men
perhaps a reasonable mindset
yet she always returned to be with my friend
he had little interest in any other than she
he never dated any other women
one might say that he was obsessed with her
he just maintained until she came back to him
which she invariably did, time after time
til one day when he was at her home
she lived with her parents who were out at the time
her father was a police officer
up in her bedroom that day...they argued
like they had done so many times before
he professing his love for her
pleading...that she stop seeing other people
...that she love him alone
she would have none of it
she said that she would do whatever she wished
he said 'if you don't say you love me...I'll kill myself'
she said 'I don't love you..go ahead, kill yourself..see if I care'
it was then that he rushed from her bedroom
down the stairs as if he were leaving the house
the next moment she heard a single loud explosion from below
her father always left his sidearm on a dining room buffet
my friend had picked up the gun
pointed it at his head
pulled the trigger
and was killed
