you and mattheo have been fwb for a while, but a few days ago you told him you couldn't do it anymore. the pair of you have barely spoken, until one day you go to your dorm to find mattheo say outside.

his face is bruised and bleeding, and his eyes are shut. mattheo's head is tilted back against the wall. he got in another fight. great. when he hears you, he opens his eyes.

"i didn't know where else to go." his voice is rough and hoarse as he speaks.
