Jose x Reader (fluff/angst)

"Remember you promised to be that you would be the 'best boyfriend I would ever have'? I don't think that you are even trying."

"I am, trust me."

"That's the point: I can't trust you. I have been trying really, really hard, but I don't know if I can. It's like I don't even know you anymore. I haven't seen you for a month because you kept on canceling dates. Now you are here just because you know that this relationship is at risk." You sat down, hiding your tears with your hands.

"Risk…?" He sat right after you, putting his hand on your back.

"I don't think I can't take it anymore. I think you… I think that maybe you don't love me anymore, maybe you are cheating on me, maybe-"

"I would never stop loving you and neither cheat on you. I love you, (Y/N)."

"I love you too, but you understand me, don't you? It is really difficult when you can't tell me what's going on."

"There's something about me that… I don't want you to know about. It's… not a good thing and I think that might… scare you away, so it's better for both of us."

"Are you a murderer or something?"

"No."

"Drug dealer?"

"No."

"A vampire?"

"No."

"Then it's nothing that you need to hide from me. I am your girlfriend, Jose, and you shouldn't hide things from me. Or maybe I am wrong and that's not how a relationship works."

"You are right, but I am too afraid."

"I think we need a break." You looked at his eyes.

"Please, no." He was tearing up.

"That's for the best."

He insisted, but you didn't give up on your decision. You needed time to think about what was happening and he needed time to think if he wanted you with him or not. It all depended on how much he trusted you to stop lying and tell about his secret.
It was a hard week. You felt sick every day. All the sadness, all the doubts, it was affecting you very hard. You could go to work and your co-workers questioned if you had slept, if you were good, if had eaten. And you hadn't slept, you felt like trash, you hadn't eaten properly.

"You can't just do that with yourself, (Y/N)." One of your friends, Patricia Dorval, said to you. "I am sure you guys will get back together, but you have to stay healthy for that. Eat something, please." She put a sandwich in front of you. "I am not going anywhere until you eat this."

You ended up eating the sandwich but didn't feel any better. Patricia tried everything: food, tea, massage, fun videos, cute animal videos. Nothing worked.

"It's okay, Patricia, you can just leave me here to rot."

"I think Jose won't tell his secret to a corpse."

"Speaking of the devil…" His name glowed at your phone screen, showing that he had sent you a message.

"I need to talk to you. Come over to my apartment after work, please."

"See?" She smiled at you. "You can go earlier this time." Besides being your friend, Patricia was your boss too, so she helped you a lot.

You got out of the building and went to Jose's apartment. After knocking at the door, ringing the doorbell, and calling him multiple times, you remembered that you luckily had the key on your purse. You opened the door slowly, afraid of what you could find.
