Killer

"Boom." I whisper as I let go of the trigger.
"Aughhh!" The guy groans and falls back.

"We're done." I whisper hollowly and stick my gun in my pocket.
You killer.
You idiot.
You self centered brat.
You killed an innocent bystander.

I'm going to Hell.

Why do I do this?
If you've met me, you'd have already answered that question.

"Wait, let me just get this." Kerri mutters and picks up a magazine in the man's hands.

She shrieks and jumps back, suddenly alarmed. She starts the run but Avril stops her.
"Calm down, Kerri!" She instructs weakly.

"I-I-I- H-H-har-"
"Don't you fucking dare say his name." Autumn warns.

"Let's go back to base. Leave the magazine. Take your mind off of him." I murmur as we start to slowly get back up.

"I want someone dead." A silhouette chuckles.

"That's nice." Avril plucks the cigarette out of her mouth. "How much money do you have?"
"A thousand."

"Mm. Continue."
"I'm expecting you'll know this name, but if you don't, I'll show you a picture. Zayn Malik."

OH NO YOU DIDN'T!
Avril's cigarette drops to the floor. She's visibly shaken, her skin is pale. "I.. I... find.. a different.. murderer."

"If you say so." We still don't see his face but he turns around and leaves.

"He was.. just.. my.. I.. can't.. help.. please... no...." Avril stutters.
"Shhhhh, Avril."
"Why can't I just kill myself already?" She whispers.

"Stay strong." I whisper back, not exactly answering her question.
