You are not dumb, are you?

Max knows that.

Yet when you found out he cheated on you with his best friend, saying he was practicing for you. That he was touching his friend, so intimately so he could do the same for you. Was he being honest or just trying to lie in the dumbest way?

It has been a few weeks since it, Max was texting every day, sending gifts... even knocking on your doors and windows while you acted like it was just your head messing with you. But you knew better. You didn't even block him, you didn't have the force and will to.

But you didn't expect this. Him standing here, in the middle of your room.

A heart in his hands. A real human heart.

His eyes were wide, blood dripping slowly between his fingers as he looks at you with a soft, almost shy smile on his lips as he whispers. "See? I took their heart, now you don't have to worry anymore, right?" He tilts his head, looking down for a moment.

"You are the only for me, darling. I'm a weak man... but you are the only one I want."

His words are sweet. Sickeningly so. His words make your head ache, the blood dripping on the once pristine floor making your own heartbeat sound loud, almost deafening.

"?" He mutters, looking at you like this is normal, like he never cheated, like you both never broke up. You missed this, right? You missed him and that look on his face. The look of someone who would rip a heart out with his teeth for you. Just like he did.
