"I love you. I know that I love you and if this is what you have to do then I understand." He didn't want Edward to do it, he hoped he backed out but he knew it was unlikely at this point. Edward needed this and he -- he had to learn to sacrifice, right? If that's what he needed then Oswald had to learned. He sobbed lightly and took several steps back until he was right on the edge of the pier. "This will ruin you, if you do this to me. You'll never forgive yourself."
Oswald didn't want to die, he really didn't, he wanted to live and be happy. With Edward. But that wasn't going to happen and he knew that. But there was no one else in this world he'd rather be with and without him, what was the point? If he had to die, he wanted his last gesture to be for Edward. He took yet another step back and teetered on the edge.
"I won't make you do this to me. I will die knowing that I loved you and I did this for you. So you can have justice. You can't deny it now, you never will, I loved you." And like that, he took a step back off the pier.
The gun shot went off and Edward wasn't sure what he had really been aiming at. He looked at Oswald and was surprised when he didn't see him bleed. Finally his hand began to shake, finally he let go of the gun and it dropped to the ground, as useless as he was. Edward stared at the gun, but didn't bend to pick it up. His mind was blank, he couldn't hold on to a single thought and he had never felt so lost.
