POV Gulf

Mew is going to be my friend for a long time, he is a very good person, he shows his good heart, maybe that will lead to him getting hurt easily, but good. I have to stop thinking about Mew.

I started studying, in a few weeks I would enter exams, and I don't want to fail. I called my best friend Hilary to come over to my condo and study together, she agreed.

After half an hour she arrived, she went straight in, since she has a copy of my key.

—Hello Gulfito- he called me that since we were teenagers.

That never bothered me, I know it's sweet.

—Hi Hilary, did you bring the books I told you? -

She who was calmly settling in, quickly changed her face, she had forgotten them.

—You forgot them right? -

—I ... I'm sorry- she knew she began to scratch the back of her neck-I didn't remember-

I smiled.

—no problem, do you want to go find them now? -

—Okay, but on the way you buy me an ice cream-

-good-

We took our things and left ...

We were arriving at the library, Hilary with her ice cream and I with my cell phone in hand. When we were approached by some guys dressed completely in black and each with a ski mask.

(Balaclava are those wool caps that cover your entire face except your eyes)

"Give me everything you have," said one.

"What?! No!" I said, pulling Hilary closer to me.

"GIVE HIM EVERYTHING!" Said another, drawing a gun.

"I think we have to obey," Hilary whispered.

She left her cell phone and purse in the backpack she was carrying and handed it over. Instead, I took advantage of the guys' distraction and took the gun from one of them.

The guys were alarmed, I pointed the gun at them.

"Return the backpack," I told them.

But I did not count on others having weapons too, one shot me in the stomach, when I saw that a lot of blood began to come out, I was scared.

"Run," I told Hilary.

We both started running, but they shot me again, making me fall and lose consciousness ...

• Omniscient POV •

Gulf was waking up, he did not know where she was, so she fell asleep again.

After the two men escaped with Hilary's things, she called an ambulance, since Gulf had been left unconscious.

Hilary was talking to Gulf's parents while they waited for the doctor.

—Family of Gulf-spoke the doctor.

—We-the three got up from their seats very quickly.

—the patient is stable, luckily none of the bullets pierced any organ. Now he himself was waking up, we are going to control him, and then they can visit him, I will let you know when-

The three people felt their souls return to their bodies, Hilary's heart almost leaked out of her chest when she saw her best friend collapse on the floor. They are like brothers, they have known each other from a very young age. Anyone who sees them on the street without even meeting them would say that they are a couple, but what they don't know is that they never saw each other that way, plus Gulf had always doubted his sexuality, he never had a girlfriend, but neither had a boyfriend.

He was waiting for that special person, the one who could be the FOREVER of him, that person that he is until the end of his days, and is in the last breath of him. If he knows that he sounds ridiculous, but he knows that there is a person who is looking for exactly the same thing as him, only that he does not know if he is going to find her ...

POV Gulf

When I opened my eyes, Hilary was sitting next to me holding my hand. I squeezed hers.

"Oh Gulf, you woke up," Hilary spoke.

—what happened?-

—after you got shot twice, you passed out, so I called an ambulance-

"Well ... I can't believe it," I said surprised, "will they let me keep the bullets?"

Hilary laughed.

—I was so worried about you, if something had happened to you. I would never forgive myself — she lowered her head, tears fell down her cheeks.

I brought my hand to her face and wiped her tears away.

"Sweetheart" I called her, to console her she always spoke to her like that "it's not your fault, nobody knew that would happen. Now, wipe your face, you don't look good crying-

—Gulfito, never stop being my friend, I don't know what I would do without you-

—We are not friends, we are brothers -she smiled- come give me a hug-

I opened my arms, and she came over and gave me a big hug.

—I love you very much Gulf-

—me too Hilary-

We parted ways and Hilary sat down again.

"Do you know how long I'll be in the hospital?"

—hmm, a few days until you are recovered-

—ok, ok-
