You and Ethan ended things on good terms, or at least that's what he promised you.

College was consuming you two, and even though you loved him you couldn't give him the attention he... needed. so you decided to break up for the common good.

It wasn't until months later when you were having a walk with your new date through New York, you ran into Ethan, he was looking at you from afar and there was barely any disappointment in his eyes, just... annoyance.

That night, while you were sleeping, a noise woke you up, like the main door of your apartment closing. You went to check and seeing Ethan enter as if it were his house disconcerted you.

"I still have the keys..." he said, raising his hand to show you the keychain, there was a blood stain on his sleeve.

"Listen, I lied, okay? this isn't over, we are not over." He spoke with frustration, as if searching for the perfect words without letting you respond or interrupt him. “you wanted to take a walk with him, well it was a bad idea to do it where i was... I'm tired of jealousy, it's something very difficult to deal with at this point. I follow you at all hours, i have to know who you are with, where you are, it's exhausting.”

After those words he took a step towards you, staring at you but trying to caress your cheek.

“You need more time? I'll give you more time, but If I see you with him again, I'll kill you both.” Those words that came out of his mouth got stuck on your brain.
