malachi had texted you to come over because he needs to talk to you about something important. you were currently walking up his stairs, your heart racing as you get to his room. he had never said anything like that before, it made you nervous.

you walk in, seeing him sitting on his bed with a sad face. malachi immediately looks up, walking towards you and pulling you into a tight hug, repeatedly kissing your head. "i'm so sorry, angel." he mumbles, feeling guilty for what he was about to do, especially when he could feel how fast your heart was racing against his chest.

you hug him back, eventually pulling away to look at him. "sorry for what mal?" you nervously smile, grabbing his cheeks and making him look at you. he was looking everywhere but your direction.

malachi gently grabs your wrists, holding your hands in his. "please, please don't hate me. you have to promise me you won't hate me, okay?" he tears up, a tear falling from his eye.

you nod in understanding, the fear written all over your face. "i could never hate you mal, it's okay." you smile, trying to calm him down a little. he takes a deep breath, "we need to break up."

your smile drops, tears instantly pooling into your eyes and quickly running down your face. "what?" your voice cracks, looking up at him in disbelief.

he grabs your face, making you melt into his touch on instinct, "i'm so sorry baby. i feel like long distance is going to be too hard, since i'm about to leave to film again. i think it would be easier this way. i'm sorry, please don't hate me." he wipes your tears, trying to stop them but they continue quickly flowing down your face.

you wipe your face with your hands, smearing mascara all over your hands. "please, don't do this mal. i don't wanna break up, please don't do this to me, please. i love you so much." you desperately grab at his hoodie sleeve, trying to change his mind. the guilt is written all over his face, and you can tell he doesn't want to do it.

tears fall down malachis cheeks as he pulls you in for another hug, cradling the back of your head, "i love you so much. it's just for the best, and it's only temporary okay? we're gonna find our way back to eachother."

you sob into malachis chest, gripping the back of his hoodie. his heart breaks even more at the sound of your loud sobs muffled by his hoodie. "do you promise?" you look up at him, your vision blurry.

malachi nods his head, "i promise. it's always gonna be you, you're it for me. i couldn't get with anyone else, no matter how hard i tried." he moves your hair behind your ears, his hands cradling your face.

"you're it for me mal. i don't think i could find anyone else. i just wish it didn't have to come down to this." you sniffle. he frowns, "me too."

"can i kiss you one last time?" you look at his lips and back at him, seeing him nod his head. you pull him down to you, kissing him passionately. his hands go down to your waist, one moving up to cup the side of your jaw, his thumb rubbing your cheek. he pulls away after a few moments, kissing your lips a few more times before fully pulling away.

"please don't forget about me." you sniffle, trying to stop your tears. "i won't y/n, i promise. i could never forget about you." malachi reassures you, gently squeezing your hand.

"i really do wish the best for you and your movie mal. update me on things that happen, okay?" you painfully smile at him, grabbing your keys and walking out of his bedroom. malachi follows you outside, "thank you, and of course i will."

"bye mal. i'll see you in a little while" you get in your car, trying to leave before you cry again. "bye y/n." he sadly smiles back at you, watching you drive off.
