The city was dark as always, especially downtown. A few rental apartments were having parties or late night movie nights. But it was only a few blocks down, Only one apartment was dark. Too dark.

The smaller male was cooking some dinner for himself. He was distraught a bit so he was just making late night ramen noodles with a hard boiled egg. Manolo looked at the time and saw it was late. He sighed to himself.

"Why did this happen? Why?", Manolo mutters under his breath. A single teardrop feel down his cheekbone down to his chin and onto the floor. The smaller male looked down at the boiling hot water, cooking the egg.

Manolo smiles sad. 'This was always your favorite food when you stayed here with me.',
he says in his head. His smile faded once he wiped away his tears.

Just how and why it happen? What could possibly break them up? They were the perfect couple. The two had everything, a home, a well paying job and they went on a lot of dates. Just what changed?

His Lewis. His only love in his life has just broke up with him 5 months ago.

But why? Why did break up? There was no one cheating or any abuse What so ever. How could they break up?

(Flashback)
"The fuck is wrong with you?!", Manolo shouted at lewis as the two entered the house.

Lewis rolled his eyes at his beloved. "I don't know, why don't you tell me smartass?!" He shouted as he walked to the kitchen to grab a drink.

"Oh no you don't!", Manolo follows him and grabs his wrist to stop him from grabbing the bottle. "You just drink and drink all day! And fight with me at night!"

Lewis growled. "Why do you think I do?! You do stupid shit that pisses me off!", He replies as he struggles against his grip.

"Stupid shit?!", Manolo snickers and looked at him annoyed. "I was at the bar, waiting for you because we were gonna go out for a drink for the night! I waited there for 20 fucking minutes!" He continues. "And you came in the worse time!"

"I was working! I have a job! Who's gonna pay the rent if I quit?!", Lewis shouted, making the smaller male back away. "I walk in and saw that stupid man all over you! And you were letting him do it!"

Manolo tears up. He growls, "I was telling him to fuck off! I kept struggling and was gonna get up and leave the damn bar until you came in and almost killed him!" He shoved Lewis a bit. "For fuck's sakes lewis! You're so controlling!"

"Keep your damn hands off of me!", Lewis shoved Manolo back. "I was protecting you! And you're gonna defend that man over me?!"

"I didn't want my boyfriend to end up in jail because of some pervert touching me!", Manolo yelled.

Lewis scoffs and didn't say anything else. Even though he wanted to. The older male grabs his drink and went to the living room.

Manolo followed him. He wasn't gonna let him get away with this again. "Stop drinking!", he grabs the drink. "You've doing it ever since April! Enough now!" He ordered

"You're not my mom!", lewis tried to grab his drink.

Manolo pushes him off. "No, but sometimes I feel like I'm more of a mom to you then a boyfriend to you!" He replied

!SMACK!

Silence filled the air. Not a single work came out of their mouths. Manolo touched his slapped cheek and felt the sting. He looked at Lewis in hurt. More hurt filled his eyes when he sees no regret in Lewis's eyes. It seemed as if he was waiting for this moment to show his true colors.

"...I'll be taking my stuff out of here by tomorrow when you're at work. I'm blocking your number and email from everything. Don't call or text me.", Lewis continued and went to the door.

"L-Lewis wait.", Manolo looks at him in tears.

Lewis shouted. "No Manolo! I'm done waiting! I'm done pretending to love you! This relationship is too much! I hate you!" He continues his final words then. "We are DONE!"

With that, Lewis shut the door. Leaving his beloved in sobs and on the ground

(End of flashback)

Manolo looked back at his egg and gasped. He turns off the heat. Manolo drained the hot water and rinsed the hot egg in cold  water. Manolo waited a minute and then began to peel the egg.

Once he plated his ramen bowl, he sat down and began to eat. It didn't make him feel better, but brought in some sort of comfort. Manolo looks at the photo frame on the wall on him and Lewis on their first date. He smiles a bit, remembering how the waiter spilled coffee on him. Those memories were joyful at the time, but now it hurts to look at it.

'KNOCK KNOCK!'

Manolo drops his chopsticks in the bowl and groans. 'Ugh! Alejandro, how many times are you gonna come here drunk?',he said in his head. He goes to the door to see who it actually was and his eyes widened big.

"Hey.", Lewis says with a weak smile. He held a bouquet of wet flowers, wet because of the rain.

Manolo stares at Lewis in shock and backs away. Lewis gulps and went inside, soaked up in rainwater. He closes the door and looked back at Manolo.

He sighed. "Manolo, I know I fucked up hard." He says. "But I wanna apologize to you...I wanna try again, please."

Manolo had a dark blush on his cheeks. Tears formed in his eyes as he looked at his ex boyfriend who was begging him to take him back. They had fights before, this one was pretty big in their relationship but is it worth to end it all? Why not just try again? Everything will be better over time. So try again!

"No."

Lewis looked at Manolo in shock. "...what did you say?" He asked

Manolo sniffs. "Never again. I will never be your boyfriend again." He says

"M-Manolo I—"

"Goodbye lewis.", Manolo pushes Lewis out the door with a jacket and an umbrella. He locks the door.

Lewis tears up and drops the flowers. He wanted to say something, anything! But it was like he was frozen. After a while, he left and was gone.

Manolo sobs on his couch pillow, trembling sad. Why didn't he take him back? It would've been so much better if he did. All relationships have ups and downs, but you learn from them.

'I'm so sorry...', Manolo says in his head and continues cry.

Maybe it's better to end things like it should. Maybe they were better off as friends. Maybe they shouldn't have met. Maybe they should've just stayed as strangers. Maybe they were not meant to be.

Maybe they were never suppose to have a happily ever after.

Maybe.
