{ Matt's P.O.V }

He wants me to tell him but it hurts, she's hurting me her words her voice they're just too cruel. But I have to he can help me.

There was silence in the room, nothing could escape my lips before I started breaking down in tears.

Manny pulled me into a hug and placed a loving kiss on my forehead, I really couldn't have asked for a better person to comfort me in this time. I snuggled into his embrace, still not able to speak.

After calming down a bit, I knew I had to talk.

"I-I'll tell you," I said, he gave me a weak smile and nodded for me to continue.

"Steph and I keep fighting, it has gotten to the point where I don't want to see her anymore," I sobbed.

I continued. "Even before coming here, we were arguing, her trust in me just seemed to be  fading and it's only gotten worse."

"What have you been arguing about?" Manny asks with hesitation; I knew I couldn't bottle up my feelings anymore.

"Anything she can think of, s-she verbally abuses me, it's like no matter what I do, she finds a way to make it negative. Like when Joey told me I was revived, she just shouted insults at me that have become so common, that they are believable," I cried.

Manny gripped my shoulders, so I was directly facing him. He looked into my eyes.

"Matt, I never want you to believe what she says, from the sounds of it, she's wanting to control you and you're just letting her. I don't want to see you suffer like this," He spoke, looking like he was about to cry.

I hated the fact that what Manny said could be true. I detested it. I have gone through so much shit with her lately, yet I didn't have the guts to leave her. Also, who knows what would happen if I divorced her, if she can get this pissed while we are together, I really don't want to know what would happen if we weren't. Would she want revenge??

"I know, but she is my wife, and I feel like I should stay with her because of that," I said, not telling him the whole reason because this whole situation is fucked. (YA THINK MATE??)

{ Manny's P.O.V }

I felt heartbroken after all the shit Steph seems to have put him through, he still chooses her. I felt kind of betrayed, but at the same time, I have only known him for a few days, whereas they have been together for years. Regardless of the circumstances, I had to be there for him, because it looked like no one else was.

We laid back and took a nap, him still in my embrace before heading out to meet the others.

- 2 Hours Late-

{ Nikita's P.O.V }

"Aye Joey! You seen Manny around?" I asked.

"Sorry Nikita, I think he is with Matt in his room," He replied.

Of course, Manny is with him I mean when is he not?! Whenever I ask that's always the answer. (hmm I wonder whyyy, maybe because it's a fanfic and that's kinda what happens, sorry Nikita 🤷‍♀️😁I know that they are legit a power couple, but I was hoping to have some time to hang with Manny. I mean I thought we were best friends, but I don't think best friends barely talk when they are in the same area for days.

"You okay Nikita? You zoned out," Joey with a slight worry in his voice, waving his hands in my face.

I wacked his hands out of my face and responded, "Yeah, it's just, I thought maybe I could talk to Manny a bit more since we don't hang often."
