The tears cascaded down your cheeks as you held your knees to your chest, your breaths came out in sharp gasps. Your phone laid in pieces on the rooms mahogany floor, obviously the cause of your distress.
You heard a quite knock on the door, "
(y/n)..." the voice called out. You soon heard the door open, then close. The footsteps drew closer, you knew who it was. The person toh needed most in that moment, Lex. "What happened?"
You didn't trust your voice, but you answered. "my... my friend." You paused, a fresh wave of sobs rushing over you. Lex only said silent, moving to where he was sitting next to you.
"H-he's.. dead, Lex."
Lex had a look of complete and utter shock on his face, he slowly wrapped his arms around you- trying to give you the much needed support. "How did this happen?"
"Suicide. He killed himself, I-I could've helped him! I could've done more.. I should've done more.." You felt your heart breaking all over again, it was like there was now this huge black hole inside you- everytime the thoughts plagued your mind you felt a sharp pang in your chest. You couldn't stop the tears, they just kept coming like a leaking spout.
"No.. don't you dare do that to yourself. You did all you could, he was sick. That is not your fault." Lex quietly whispered, his thumbs tracing small patterns on your side, Your hands clutching onto his shirt subconsciously.
"Promise you won't leave me, Lex. Please." You choked out, pulling away to look up at him.
His hands moved up to cup your face, the pads of his thumbs wiping your tears. "I swear for as long as I live, I will never leave you. I can't imagine a world with you gone."
