The scarlet drops

The quaint little town of Holly sat in the middle of nowhere. Dust balls rolled in and out of this quiet area. With only a population of about 60 and very little activity, this place gets no visitors. The most exciting thing is a little shop owned Bowie and Ashley. They are the town's high school sweethearts and they have been together for 7 years. No couple could love each other more than these two but there was no fairy tale ending for them.

*Bowie Point of View*

Ashley was leaving town for a day to gather more supplies for the shop and she would come back tomorrow afternoon. What will I ever do with my day without her? She and I did everything together.

Bowie: Bye Ashley. I love you.

Ashley: Love you too. I will bring back a surprise.

Bowie: Thanks and when you get back I have a surprise for you.

Ashley: Bye.

I give her kiss and she drove off. The rest of the day was just working in the shop and not many people came today. I closed the shop, went home, took a shower, and went to bed.

*Ashley POV*

I left Bowie with the shop let's see how he does. Usually, I am the one who organizes things and when I get back I will have a lot to do. The shop got most of its items from a town over and that's where I am right now. When I got everything I needed, I grabbed some extra stuff to surprise Bowie with his favorite cookie. With the car packed up, I headed back early. I figured Bowie will miss me so losing a couple hours of sleep is no problem. When I got back home, I started to bake and was trying not to wake Bowie so I can surprise him but I made some noise. I figured he would still be sleeping so I washed the dishes while the cookies baked. I would need to be going back to the shop a town over because I forgot light bulbs and all of ours in our home were out.

*Bowie POV*

At four in the morning, I heard crashing sounds from the kitchen I grabbed my gun from the side table and walk cautiously to the kitchen where I saw a shadow holding a knife. I shot once and heard a scream that I heard before. I shine my phone on the floor as scarlet drops of blood fell.

Later that morning there friend walked and saw both of them lying dead on kitchen floor and cookies burning in the oven. Both with a single gunshot. The only explanation was a note and something in Bowie's hand.

She was the only thing that I loved and I took her away by stupid mistake. How could live with myself knowing that?. I needed to be with her.

When that friend checked his hand, there was ring box with a beautiful diamond ring.
