He wants him to leave, Max refused because of a promise. When he wakes up later Nikki broke with him in a sudden change of attitude, he was devastated.

Max's POV

It's been two days since Nikki left me. I have never felt a void like this before. I tried talking to her but every time I got close to her she would just go away. I no longer know what to do. I feel more depressed than ever in my life, I guess it is worse when you lose something that you had and liked, than to lose something that didn't exist in the first place. Gwen and David have been trying to help me recover but I can't seem to get better, the pain kept lingering. I thought there was only one way out of this pain, to erase my feelings and memories and there's only one way to do that. Death. I haven't been thinking straight for the last days but death was the only constant on my mind. All my instincts shouted loudly to kill myself. While I was in this depressed state Sasha came closer to me. I knew she was just trying to use my depression to come closer to me, buy I was desperate for love, a love I couldn't find anywhere else. She wanted to take our relation further, she wanted to fuck, but I didn't, I had no actual feelings for her. I apologized and left. Sasha took it well, weird. She just left too. As I got lost in my thought I came to the conclusion that the love I have been searching for can only be given by Nikki at the time. But since Nikki hates me, there's no way I'll get that love again. Tonight. Tonight I would do it, end all my pain and suffering. I thought of many ways to do it but the one I chose was killing myself with a gun. I stole one as well as 3 bullets I ran into a small alley, charged the gun and pointed it to my head... but I couldn't pull the trigger. No matter how hard I tried it didn't move. At first I thought it was a part of me that wanted to live longer but then I realize I didn't have that part of me, it was just the safety lock. After getting all set again, this time without the lock, I pointed at my head and was about to pull the trigger when I heard Nikki talking to me.

"Max! Don't do it! I love you!" I turned around to see her but I saw was a vanishing green silhouette. Tears started falling from my eyes, and the last thing I said was "Good bye, everyone." And I pulled the trigger. It was over. Finally. I remember waking in a dark corridor, I walked one side and found two doors. I walked the other way and walked, and walked, and walked so I looked back and I hadn't moved an inch, the doors were still there. Guess you don't face an endless void of nothingness when you die. I thought. There was a small plate in the middle of the doors that had an inscription saying 'CHOOSE WISELY'. I opened one door, more darkness, I opened the other one, light, fucking light. It was so much light I thought I would go blind. So I chose the other one. I stepped inside the darkness but there was no floor so I fell down. I saw a little bit of light and I landed. I walked towards the small light, it was warm and cozy not like the rest of this place. It was a torch. There was a plating that said 'take me' and so I did. I walked through another corridor full of doors. I opened some to see what was inside. Memories, my memories. It started with the memories of when I was a baby. As I walked further I saw memories of an older me until I reached the 17 years old me memories. I kept walking. I found a door leading to another corridor. Those were my memories of Nikki. I decided to leave the corridor and get back to the main one. I hoped to see a dead end at the end of the corridor since my life was already over. But I didn't, there was an incomplete path with small bits falling down and a sign that said 'UNDER CONSTRUCTION'. What did that mean? I'm dead, what could they make now? Regrets? Fears? What?! Did that mean I am not dead? I decided to keep walking into that area but I fell down again. I landed in the spot I was before, just a couple inches from the construction zone on the corridor. I didn't get it. What did that mean. Suddenly, I had like a third person view of everything, I saw myself standing there through what appeared to be a screen. The screen fractured. More and more until it was so broken I couldn't see anything. I touched it and it shattered into nothingness. It simply started vanishing. I was confused. I looked around and saw huge pillars holding a rock ceiling. The pillars and the ceiling started cracking. One pillar crumbled and it started a chain reaction. Every other pillar started crumbling and the ceiling was falling down. I ran and felt like of I couldn't breathe. My heart beat was really slow and weak, almost like if I had no pulse. I was scared. Everything was darkness again. I couldn't talk, not that I had anyone to talk with either way. Confusion. Everything is confusion. I somehow walked to a door and when I opened it I heard Nikki's voice.

"Max! Please! Come on! Wake up!" She was scared and crying. I could see her now not only hear her. I tried to walk inside but there was a force keeping me out. I used all my strength to go through, and I did. What happened after going through was even weirder than what happened before. I was on Nikki's bed and she was hugging me while crying loudly. Neil was on the door scared, I saw how he got his phone out but stopped when he looked my way, he put it back in his pockets.

"Nikki?"

"Max?! MAX! Oh you are fine! I- I was really worried. When I woke up you were asleep and crying, and you said " Nikki I love you" I was so *sob* sad. Then you c-calmed down and- *sob* and said "Good bye everyone" like if you were dying. But then you weren't breathing and I couldn't feel your pulse. Neil was about to call an ambulance but you woke up, an- and I'm really happy you are okay. I so happy Max, thanks god!"

"So... you're saying i-it was..." I started crying. "It was all a dream?" I cried even harder and I hugged Nikki. "Pro-*sob* Promise me you won't leave me either."

"I-I won't Max. I love you."

"That ma-makes me so happy..." And then I cried without being able to talk anymore. I was really happy it all was a dream.
