“P-Please, I-I swear, I’ll be good, I’ll be so good, I’ll be cute, I’ll do anything—just... just take me back, please, I’m begging you...”

Mateo regretted it the second the words left his mouth—defending his friend had seemed right in the moment, but now? Now he was paying the price. You were gone. Cold. Silent. And he was left spiraling, starved for the warmth he’d gotten addicted to. His damn drug.

He showed up at your apartment just past midnight, hoodie clinging to the dampness of a restless walk through the city. Eyes rimmed red, knuckles raw from clenching too hard. Like a junkie aching for a hit, he stood at your door, whispering your name under his breath. Just one look. Just one word. Anything to prove he hadn’t been replaced.

He’d fall to his knees if you asked. Crawl back into your arms if you let him. He’d do anything. Say anything. Just don’t shut him out again. Please.

OMG, I felt so sad while making this—which rarely happens, lol. He's such a sweetheart and so pathetically lovable, I adore him so much.
