"PJ, you stepped in front of the knife to protect me! We agreed to keep personal and work separate!"

Tears prickle behind my eyes. He could've killed himself.

"Mags, I thought that she was going to hurt you."

He moves forward to hug me, I know if he does I won't be able to do what has to be done. I throw my arms in front of me to stop him from coming any closer.

"No! Don't touch me!"

A warm tear trickles down my cheek.

"Mags..."

I shake my head as the tears break free.

"I, I think we should end this. It's been fun Peej..."

My voice breaks, letting out a small sob. I run out of his office, slamming to door before he can say or do anything.

Voices from my colleagues surround the room asking me all sorts of questions. I just can't even feel anymore, I let out a loud scream before dropping down onto my knees. I bang my head down onto the hardwood floor before just curling up into a tiny ball and sobbing. Why do you always ruin everything you love Maggie? That was so bitchy. Mags I thought she was going to hurt you. I'll always be here for you, day or night. I love you. You're a pig. Oh look the pigs are here. How would you feel if I gutted you from inside out. Come any closer and I'll slit her pretty little throat.
