Promise me you'll do it
no matter how much it hurts.
Remember how good I was to you?
I always had your back.
In return,
do this one favor for me
or I'll never forgive you.
I trusted you with the note.
Not anyone else.
Do not let me down.
Do not hesitate.
Please,
just look me in the eye
and shoot me
before it's too late.
