Hours pass and Mary and I return to Alex's apartment. It was nice and comfortable to be with Mary. We both ended up sitting on the couch and Mary placed some sketches and drawings on the round coffee table. I carefully look at each drawing and remember all the times we drew with each other in parks as dates. It made me happy that we had nice moments. Most of the clothes she drew were rather gothic or in a punk style. I really like that. "Wow Mary these are amazing!" "You think so?" They ask with a blush across their cheeks. "I think some of them are a bit too much you know.." "You have to stand out. I like it. The store kinda doesn't fit the aesthetic though but I'm pretty sure there could be a collection of like gothic clothes I suppose." I smiled at them. "I guess so- I mean I'd appreciate if you helped me design more like normal clothes?" "Are you saying I dress in a boring way?" I asked, almost a little offended. "No no of course not!" She grabbed my arm and laughed. I felt her body press against me a little. They are so warm. I know I don't like her but god I want to hold them. "Anywaysss you can help me right?" "Of course." We ended up drawing, messing around and even ate together. At this point I have forgotten the time. It wasn't until I looked out of the window that i realized it must be already 9 pm. All of the sudden I can hear the door opening and saw a familiar face.

Alex looked awfully mad. Mary looked up and saw Alex. They didn't know how to react. Mary should be the one that gets mad since I cheated on them and Alex was the one I cheated them on with. "Oh- hey Alex." They said and kind of awkwardly smiled at him. "Oh hey Mary." He said all sarcastically. "Listen I was just helping Mary with their work okay?" I said and hoped Alex would keep calm. "I think Mary has to go now." Alex said. He sounded weird. "Yeah- yeah I actually do. It was nice meeting you Alex and I look forward to working with you Ethan." They said and quickly left. Alex quickly shut the door after Mary left and jumped on me. He pushed me down onto the couch and began hitting my face. I immediately tried to stop him which was harder than I thought. Due to Alex being a lightweight compared to me I was able to throw him off. He did leave my face with a bruise and with my nose bleeding. "You fucking whore." Alex said as his ears turned red and his eyes were puffy. "Alex calm down okay?" Alex punched me again but this time I punched him back. He looked at me and pushed me against a wall. I expected him to punch me or something but instead I was met with him roughly kissing me. Our teeth clashed together and I felt his tongue against mine. He grabbed my hair and pulled it while dominating the kiss. He bit my lip all of the sudden until it bled. He slowly licked my lips to taste my blood before kissing me again. When he finally pulled away we both were breathing heavily. "Hit me again Eth." He said. "What-?" "Hit me Ethan. Do it." He said. "No - no I'm sorry for hitting you Alex." "Fucking hit me." He demanded. "Why- why do you want me to hit you?" I asked. "Do it or else I will make you lose your job and you'll never see that stupid whore again. I will fucking kill her if you don't hit me Ethan. I should kill her. She deserves it." "You won't kill them." Alex smiled at me. This was- unsettling. What did his smile mean? Did it mean he already killed someone? Alex suddenly grabbed me again and tried pulling me to the bedroom but I stopped him, "did you kill someone?" I asked in full disbelief of the situation. "Would it change the situation?" He asked. When I stalked Alex he was the nicest person ever. So innocent. Feeding pigeons in parks, feeding stray cats, helping the old and so much more. The nice image of Alex was slowly turning into a fading distant memory. "Im kidding Eth. I'm no killer." He said and grabbed my face. He placed a kiss on my lips while sliding his hand up my hair covered stomach. He slid his finger down my happy trail but eventually I stopped him and pushed him off. "Not in the mood?" Alex asked with a small smirk. I grabbed his face. "You're not going to hurt anyone, understand? Do not lay a finger on Mary." "Aww so cute! You're defending your little partner." He said, obviously hurt. "They're not my partner." "You sure are treating them like it. Cuddling up to them." He said. I couldn't control myself and hit him. He seemed to get a kick of it though and just smiled at me as I continued to hit him with all my force. At some point I even felt his erection against my thigh as I was on top of him. I ignored it and continued to beat him up until I was too tired and slowly laid myself next to him on the floor. I felt the blood on my hands and now on my face when Alex put his hand on my cheek to face me. His face was covered in bruises and he was basically vomiting blood. His glasses were broken beyond repair. Somewhere in his sick and twisted look was a look of deep unhappiness and jealousy. I sat up and gently pulled Alex closer. I got up and picked Alex up and carried him to the bathroom. I put him onto the toilet and gently cleaned his face with a wet towel. His face was red, covered in blood. After I cleaned him up though his soft pale skin was revealed again. But this time his pale skin was covered in other colors as well. He wasn't an empty canvas anymore. He was colorful. He looked awful. I took care of him and even gave him a bath before placing him into bed. He looked up at me with a content smile. I cupped his cheek. "You can cry Alex." I said softly and kissed his forehead. All of the sudden the silent room was filled with sobbing and choking. He held me tightly and cried beneath me. Eventually he pulled me into bed and rested his face on my chest while crying his eyes out. I kept rubbing his back in a weak effort of comforting him. "Its okay Alex. We'll fix this okay?" I said and held him. "Eth you naive idiot." He said with a shaky voice. "Our relationship is impossible to fix. We're destined to die unhappy but together." "It's worth a shot to try and have at least a bit of a normal relationship right?" "Right." He said and buried his face into my chest.
