paces back and forth, hands shaking No, I'm not okay. I feel like my world is falling apart. I... I never saw this coming.

clings onto girlfriendmuse, sobbing uncontrollably I... I thought we were happy. I thought everything was fine. Why... why did this happen?
how long have you been dating her
sniffles, wipes away tears It's... it's been about six months. We met through mutual friends, and everything seemed perfect.
I can guess what happened now
looks at girlfriendmuse with fear and uncertainty What... what do you mean? What guess are you talking about?
every time I would invite her to hang out with us she always had an excuse not to so I think she was scared to be caught and just didn’t make it obvious

don’t worry I’m here for you always
suddenly hugs girlfriendmuse tightly, tears streaming down his face Thank you... thank you for being there for me.

Max and girlfriendmuse decide to focus on their own personal growth and self-improvement instead of dwelling on the betrayal
