David collapsed on his couch, angry tears flowing down his face.  He ran his hand through his hair, resting his elbows on his knees.  Angry energy was running through him, and he stood up, punching the wall.

He punched the wall again, a furious scream ripping through him.  His knuckles were bleeding as he continued his assault on the wall. 

When he finally stopped, David's throat was raw, his knuckles were bleeding and bruised, and he slid down the wall.  The tears pouring down his face never really stopped, and he broke down.

"David?  Are you there?"  David hurriedly looked up when he heard Matt's voice. 

He quickly wiped his face off, and walked over to the door, his eyes cast downwards.  "Hey."

Matt looked at him, and was immediately concerned.  "What happened?  Are you okay?"

"Nothing.  And I'm fine."

Matt sighed.  "David, blood is dripping from your hands.  And you've obviously been crying."

David clenched his fists, shaking, and gritted his teeth.  "I'm.  Fine."

Matt took a step back, intimidated.  "Dave, c'mon.  Please let me help you."

David was blinking rapidly, holding back tears.  "She- she was having an affair.  For almost a year."  His chest heaved as he began to cry.  "I thought she loved me."

Matt stood for a second in shock as he watched David fall apart.  He stepped forward and tentatively placed a hand on David's shoulder.

David pulled Matt into a hug, and buried his face in Matt's shoulder.  Matt carefully put his arms around him.  "She didn't deserve you."

David sniffed quietly as he began to calm down.  "I just thought she was the one."

Matt sighed.  "I know.  But she wasn't.  And I know you'll find someone else.  But for now, let's fix up your hand."

David looked at the ground, wiping a few tears from his face with his forearm.  He allowed Matt to lead him inside.

Matt looked around David's apartment and winced when he saw the dents in David's wall.  He sat David on the couch and went to get the first aid kit from the bathroom.

David was silent as Matt wrapped his hands.  "Do you want to talk about it?"

David shrugged.  "There's nothing to talk about.  She cheated, broke my heart, end of story."

Matt sighed quietly as he finished with David's hands.  "Well if you ever need to talk, you can always call me."

David smiled at him weakly.  "Thanks.  Would- would it be too much trouble to ask you to stay over tonight?  I don't wanna be alone."

"Of course."
