Max P.O.V.
My voice? How is it my voice? Why is it my voice? I would never say that to her. How long has this been going on? Is that why she avoided me at the office a couple days ago. If so, it has been going on to awhile. I need to figure out what's going on.
I sighed and closed my eyes. Stella was already sleeping on my chest. My hand was on her back. She looks so peaceful. After awhile I finally went asleep.
"She did it because of you Max!" Ross yelled. Tears were running down my face.
I stood there frozen looking at myself. I was crying Ross, Adam, everyone was around me and someone else. I couldn't move, I couldn't get a closer look. We were in her office. Everything was where it was suppose to be. I squinted my eyes to see closer. There was droplets of blood on the floor. I realized what I was witnessing. Someone died.
"Read the note." Adam whispered. I picked the note up. Well Max picked it up. Well it is me so I picked it up. But I'm not in my body. Whatever.
"I decided to do this because I couldn't take. Those voices in my head was getting louder. My anxiety was extremely non healthly. But I will always love you guys. To Adam you was always there for me but I never took the chance. To Ross who I love more then my family. Ross you are like the brother I never had. More like the family I never had. To everyone else in the offices. I love you all. You changed my life but I had to. Please forget about me and don't grieve too long. I'm not worth it. And finally. Max. You helped me so much. I don't even have words for this. Max I'm so sorry. I love you. You held me through my roughest times. Max please forget. Please forget about us. Find someone who brings the best out of you. I know you will blame yourself but it wasn't you it was my mind. You were telling me to die. You were telling that I'm worthless. But I know that it wasn't you. It was the only voice that my brain knew how to hurt me. It's smart. I couldn't take it. I keep looking at you, afraid. Max it's not your fault. I maybe crazy but I know that it wasn't you. I love you and I always will. I'll see you on the other side." I stopped and looked up. Adam backed away and revealed the body. Stella. It was Stella. I gasped and tried to look away. There was blood on her arms from cuts. I looked up and saw a rope. She hung herself. No no no. I could barely see her chest moving. She's still alive.
"Save her!" I yelled. No one heard me. No one even knew I was there. Then, Stella opened her eyes. Max, I, gasped and hugged her.
"It is your fault." She whispered and closed her eyes. Her head fell back and her chest stopped moving. She's dead.
I woke up with a jolt. I was sweating and my heartbeat was fast. Thankfully Stella was on her pillow so I didn't have to move her. I got up and went into the bathroom. My reflection was horrendous. I had bags under my eyes and my hair was a ginger mess. I turned in the water and took off my clothes. She died. Was that a nightmare or a vision? I never had a vision before but I read online that you can have visions before something traumatic happens. I really hope it was just a nightmare.
I took a shower and washed off all the dried sweat. I just kept thinomg about that dream. I could see it vividly. I hate it. I just hope it doesn't happen because I know it will be my fault.
