10:16 A.M., The Day Of
Matt and Josie are in the locker room. Matt admits, "If anything happens Jo, I loved you"(439). Josie who is now terrified, curls up in a ball behind her boyfriend. She is so nervous, she finds it hard to breath.
Peter stumbles into the locker room with a gun in his hand. He lifted his gun at Matt, and Josie who can't help it, screams.
Peter is startled to see Josie in the locker room and drops his backpack. As the backpack fell, a gun fell out and skittered across the floor.
Matt backed away toward the showers, under Josie's cover. Peter held his gun steady, still pointing it at Matt, even though Josie was closer.
Matt screams at Josie, "Shoot him, Josie! Just f***ing shoot him!"(440). Matt also yells, "Are you stupid? Shoot him!"(440). Peter defends Josie by stating, "Don't talk to her like that"(440).
Josie finally gets the courage to shoot.
Matt stood for a moment, shocked, with his hand over the wound in his stomach. Matt then falls to the floor. Josie rushes to her boyfriend to cover the wound. Her hand is shaking violently. She turns to Peter and cries, "Do something! Help me."(440).
Peter walked closer, lifted the gun he was holding, and shot Matt in the head. Horrified, Josie scrambles backward, away from them both. Peter whispers to Josie, "Don't tell"(441).
