Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this worlds gonna end. As your lies crumble down, a new life she has found. Face Down - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

Soul sits, watching his best friend fidget uncomfortably as her current boyfriend whispers to her.

To say Soul doesn't like this guy was an understatement. He loathed the guy, but couldn't quite figure out why.

Maybe it was the way he wouldn't let Maka do certain things. Like hang with him or Tsubaki. Or the controlling way he would follow her around or lurk at her work.

But Soul was no busybody so he let It go. When in all honesty, he shouldn't have…

He blinks his crimson eyes. As he swipes blindly at his phone.

"Hello?" he grumbles

His voice is met with the sound of a gut wrenching sob.

"Maka?" He is fully alert now

"C-can you let me in?"

No hesitation, Soul tears from his bedroom, scrambling to open the door for her. His heart all but shatters at her sobbing form on his doorstep. He leads her to his lounge room, cradling her to his chest.

"What's happened?" His voice is tight with concern

"We broke up" she cried

He wraps her protectively in his arms, trying his best to keep her together.

"What? What happened?"

"I just snapped Soul, I couldn't take him anymore"

"What did he do?"

"I'll tell you another time. I can't right now" she was crying so loudly, he was struggling to keep his own emotions in check.

3 weeks later*

"Soul?" Maka's meek voice sounds from his doorway

"Yeah?" He puts his phone down to pay attention to her

"I'm ready to tell you what happened." He shuffled to let her on his bed.

"I need you to promise not to go looking for him Soul, please" she pauses, he nods " right okay…umm so, Michael wasn't exactly as Fantastic as I made him out to be. I mean at the start he truly was, but then a month in… he threatened to dump me if I spent anymore time with you or with Tsubaki and I just couldn't handle giving up on our relationship so quick. So as you know, I started to say no to hanging out. Anyway, this isn't the worst thing he did. It turns out that he was cheating on me the whole time. Which is you know, whatever. But his friend bumped Into me the other day and told me some things I can't actually tell are true or not."

Souls heart was racing, terrified of what this guy could have done to her.

"What did he do to you Maka?" His jaw clenched

"He uh…when he couldn't get it from someone else, he would uh slip me something. So that I couldn't put up a fight. He… he would tie me to the bed… he… he" she stumbles over the rest but he doesn't need to hear it to know exactly what he had done to her.

Soul holds her tightly to his chest, breathing deeply to calm himself as her fragile form shakes with heartbreak and shame in his arms.

"Oh Maka.." he almost sobs too "I so, so sorry that this happened to you. If I had known.."

"I know! I know Soul!" She whimpers

"If I ever run into him Maka, I will kill him"

She buries her face In his chest. Swallowing, he holds her tighter. Swearing to whoever was listening that he would never ever let this happen to her again.

A/N: hey guys, just wanting to let you know that what Maka had been through is a true story. My story. I dated a boy who meant the word to me. And I meant nothing to him.
