Hate You Not (An enemies to lovers)

[Excerpt]
I looked at the eyes of my lover, so beautiful, so bright. A tear dropped from those pretty eyes and rolled down my lover's face. We both are in pain; we both burn in the same fire. Two hearts that loves but is tainted by the past, which can't be erased.
I watch the gun pointed at my face, a bitter smile graced my lips, and I gently wrapped my hand around it. I placed it over my beating heart, whose every beat has my lover's name.
"Go ahead. Kill me. Kill this stupid organ of mine, for it is still beating for you." I smile.
A nerve-wreaking sob leaves them. The shell of the broken person I love cries bitterly.
*Bang*
And everything goes quiet. And dark.
