I walked into the kitchen and smiled: “It’s time to go.” Synyster lifted his eyes from the newspaper he was reading as The Rev got up from the table. He nodded at me and walked pass me.

“I said it’s time to go, Gates.” I repeated to Synyster who just sat there staring at me. He got up and walked over to me still looking at me. I leaned closer my breath ghosting over his lips. Synyster closed his eyes. I laughed and walked away…

“Shoot him for fuck’s sake Synyster!” Jimmy yelled at me when I was standing in front of the old man who owned the jewellery shop. “Shoot him or he’ll call the motherfucking cops!”

“Too fucking late guys! RUN!” I heard Zacky scream over the approaching sound of sirens as he and Johnny ran out of the shop…

“Where’s Gates?!” I panicked once we were in the car.

“He fell behind. We’ll all get caught if we wait for him.” Zacky started the car.

“Matt! Get back here! MATT!”

“Drop your gun and get down on your knees! I was frozen to the spot. “NOW!” the police was pointing at me with his gun. I stared at him and I couldn’t move…

I ran towards the backdoor of the shop.

“Shadows! Get back here right fucking now!” I didn’t stop to go back. I just couldn’t…

“Down on your knees or I’ll shoot you!” I just couldn’t make a move to get down. The police officer pulled the trigger…

I reached the door and ran in searching for Synyster with my eyes. Saw him in front of the counter with a terrified look in his brown eyes as he sank on his knees, holding his chest…

I saw Matt coming in from the back of the shop as I fell to the floor. I felt how the blood started to bleed from my chest and the room started to spin. I closed my eyes. Matt’s arms wrapped around my back and neck, not letting me fall. He cried…

Synyster looked at me with tired eyes. I held him close to my chest tightly and felt how tears pooled in my eyes.

“I…” my voice disappeared. I felt like this all was my fault. “I never even knew your real name…” I didn’t know why that was all I could manage to say.

“Hey… I’m Brian Haner… I love you, Matt.” Synyster’s voice was nothing but a whisper. “Since the first time I met you…” his eyes fluttered closed and he relaxed in my arms. I pressed my face into his hair and cried:

“I love you. Now and forever… Brian Haner…”
