Holding her still body in his arms, he looked around the room, when he saw it. “Oh, God, no! She said it would happen here! Please, God, not my Cory!” he cried painfully. “No_______! Cory_______! I love you_______! Please… don’t do this to me…!” he sobbed into her hair. “Max_______!” she cried softly, coming to, but only to tell him she loves him. “I’m right here, Cory. I’m here.” “Oh, M…Max… I…I love you... I…I’ll... a…always... love you_______” she whispered faintly just before her body succumbed to the darkness around her. “Cory…!” he pulled back, see what had happened, “Cory, no_______! Please_______!” “Max?” His friend, Mike, called out, when coming around to join him. But then seeing the look on his face, when Max looked up, he had to ask, “Is she…” “No, but we have to hurry. With what little light there is, it looks like she has lost a lot of blood!” he returned, looking back down at the gash to her left cheek, and the wound to her chest, near her heart, from what looked to be the work of a stiletto. “Mike, I should have realized what she was feeling.” “How could you?”
