Death #6:
Straight Through His Heart
By Tracy
It had hit all the fans around the world like a ton
of bricks. Nick Carter....who had sworn off marriage for years...had just
gotten married to Lauren Kitt. The two of them had dated for a few years. Nick
proposed to her during the tour and managed to keep it quiet from everyone.
Lauren made him happy like nobody else could...she understood Nick the regular
guy, not Nick the Backstreet Boy. Their wedding day went off without a hitch
and everyone was cordial to one another during the reception. The banquet hall
was decorated in white and pink....large tables around a space made for the
dance floor. Three large crystal chandeliers accented the ceiling above...it
was beautiful. Lauren wore a lacy white dress...Nick holding her close and
dancing hand in hand, totally in love. The newlyweds just finished dancing and
Nick leaned in to kiss her, Lauren beaming from ear to ear.
"I am so glad you changed your mind about
marriage, baby. This is the most perfect day of my life." she said softly.
Nick smiled and opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by a creaking
sound above them. He looked up as the chandelier began to fall. Several of the
guests cried out, the glass flying as it came crashing down.
"LOOK OUT!!!" Nick screamed, pushing
Lauren out of the way. There wasn't enough time to move.....he felt the glass
go into his chest...blood splattered on Lauren's wedding dress and Nick
collapsed to the floor. He lay there motionless, blood staining his white dress
shirt from the wound over his heart. He was pronounced dead when the paramedics
arrived....the crystal chandelier had pierced a major artery and he bled to
death, making Lauren a widow after only one day.
