Moving back to your childhood house was never in your plans. But there you were, standing in front of the small, falling appart house taking a deep breath and opening the creeking door. The noise was so loud you could bet the whole street heard it.
After one last breath you slowly walked in. The inside looked just as you remembered, but old, dirty and dusty. Family photos hanged where they always did â you were surprised your parents havenât taken them down after you left â an old bouquet of dead flowers stood on the welcoming console â you already planned on keepping them as you loved collecting dried flowers.
Walking further in you noticed your old drawings still hanged on the fridge door â neither of them dirty or ripped â as well as all your magnets from various family trips. In the living room your baby blanket layed on the sofa.
It surprised you, everything as for right now showed that your parents never forgot about you even though you didnât have any contact. You wondered if your room looked the same as you left it, and it did. You always thought your parents would change it into a home gym or something like that but it was left untouched, only your favourite teddy bear was missing.
Roaming the house further youâve found it in your parentsâ bedroom on the nightstand. Tears started to fill your eyes, you were so cruel for them for the past few years and they never forgot about you, even tried to have you as close as they could even though you were far, far away. Warm hands creeping around your waist shook you out of your trance.
âHey, itâs okay...â
Your boyfriend George whispered and placed a kiss on top of your head before spinning you around and pressing against his chest into a tight hug. A few tears fell down your cheeks, wetting Georgeâs shirt but he didnât mind. You were greatful you had him, especially in such hard times.
After you calmed down the two of you went back downstairs to bring inside your suitcases and boxes with stuff. A young man, new neighboor, caught your eye when you left.
He was mowing the grass, or rather struggling with turning on his old lawnmower, and he noticed you too. He gave a sheepish smile and scratched the back of his neck while a soft blush appeared on his face. You chuckled a little and asked George to come over with you and offer help.
The man agreed with a sigh and soon you were standing in front of your neighbours house. It was way bigger and prietter than yours, which made you wonder and imagine what it looked like inside. It looked like a mansion outside so you thought it had to look so bougey inside too.
âHi, weâre your new neighbours. Well... kind of... I lived here as a kidâ
You explained quickly with a sweet smile.
âIâm Y/N and this is my boyfriend George, can we help you?â
You introduced yourself and George before offering help which the man reluctantly agreed to.
âIâm Max, nice meeting you. And Iâm sorry for the problem... I really need to buy a new lawnmower but donât really have time...â
Max sighed and smiled awkwardly at you while George tried to turn on the machine and you chatted with Max. He moved in a few years ago so he might have known your parents.
He admitted he was an owner of quite a big company, that was why he lived in such a luxury but you wondered why he opted for a small house in the suburbs instead of a flat in the middle of the town. He on the other hand, found out that you were a daughter of his late neighbours.
âThey were good peopleâ
He said, but you knew better. Max watched you closely as you talked, watched how your dimples showed when you smiled, how your ginger hair shined in the sun, how you fiddled with your fingers as if you were anxious but your demeanor said otherwise. Just in those few minutes the man was able to memorise your behaviour and ticks.
After a few tries and some digging in the engine, your boyfriend finally turned the machine on.
âThere you go buddyâ
He smiled kindly.
"Now excuse us, we gotta head back to unpackingâ
He politely excused yourselves before leaving.
âI wish I could help but knowing my luck if I turn this shit off right now I wonât be able to turn it back on later. But! Maybe you could come over and eat supper with me and my friend? Will 6pm be okay?â
âOh um... I-I'm not sure... We donât want to be a burden...â
âOh you wouldnât, believe me. Daniel loves meeting new people and I could pay off the debt... Sooo? â
"Iâll have to ask George but Iâm sure heâll agreeâ
âGreat! Then see ya later, good luck!â
âGood luck to you too!â
You waved goodbye before rushing off to help George with a heavy box. He insisted on carrying it in by himself, but you knew better to not let him or heâd break something, again...
ŕźśâ.âŽ:âšđâ:âŽ.â
By the time the evening came you were done cleaning almost the whole house and unpacking just the most necessary things. George wasnât keen on eating supper with the newly met neighbour and his friend but youâve managed to convince him with a fun time afterwards. It always worked.
You changed from your house clothes to something more suitable but still comfortable for a meeting and left dragging your boyfriend behind yourself. You didnât even manage to knock or ring the doorbell when a tall, dark haired man opened the door and let you in.
"Iâm Daniel. Youâre new neighbours right?â
He greeted eagerly, shaking your hands like crazy. The man was full of energy which terriffied you a little, but it quickly changed further into the night.
âDaniel donât scare them!â
Maxâs voice rumbled in the kitchen .
âCome in, donât be scared. Heâs just excited! "
Walking into the kitchen you could finally take a good look at the interior. It was just how you imagined it to. Modern with a hint of vintage, light walls, golden chandelier hanging above the glass table and fully equipped and up to date kitchen â which you could only dream about. It was beautiful.
You sat down by the table after George pulled a chair for you, as he always would. Youâd never thought youâll find yourself a true gentleman but there he was, all yours. Inhaling the scent of the dish made you remember about saturdays at home.
Your mom used to always make lasagna on saturdays, it was so delicious, you remembered itâs taste even now when you havenât eaten it for years â and you wonât anymore. Max sitting in front of you with a huge smile made you realize the table was fully set and Daniel and George already started to eat.
âSomething wrong?â
The man asked quietly to which you responded with a slight shake of your head and a smile, before trying the food. It was delicious, so delicious you couldnât believe the blonde made it.
âHomemade or ordered? "
Asking bluntly you felt George's elbow poke your side. It wasn't really polite from you but Max didnât care.
âHomemade. I know it tastes too good, but I tried my best and it paid offâ
The man admitted. He wasnât affected badly by your question, instead responded with a warm smile that didnât seem to ever fall. Your honesty impressed while your beauty amazed him.
The supper was enjoyable. Daniel turned out to be a really sweet guy, just a little overjoyed, considering the fact he scared you a tad at first.
Following the meal came board games and wine, even though George wasnât happy to compete with Max against you and Daniel, but you kind of addpoted the tall man. He was too cute to ignore, making your boyfriend hella jelous, but you were going to recompensate him that later anyway.
The two of you won every round of whatever game, which didnât please Max. You could see it. You could see the way the vain on his forehead throbbed while he struggled with George, how his hands curled in fists every time Daniel laughed at him, but he tried not to explode as best as he could.
You felt bad for the blonde. Daniel later explained that he was a bad looser but worked on it and that such session was good for him. It made you feel relieved at least a little bit.
When the night started to fall and more and more yawns escaped your lips George decided that it was time to leave. You reluctanlty got up and gave Daniel a huge goodbye hug before shaking Maxâs hand and leaving the mansion with Georgeâs arm wrapped around your waist.
When you made it to your new bedroom â which was an old guest room â you insisted on pleasing your boyfriend just as you promised, even though he said you didnât have to as he knew you were tired. But you were too stubborn and soon George layed underneeth you half naked as you undressed yourself, his hands roaming your body.
Sitting up the man wrapped them around your waist pulling you closer while his lips planted soft kissed along your jaw then down your torso. You couldnât bother to close the curtains, no one could see you anyway, especially in the dim light of your small nightstand lamp.
But a feeling of someone watching you was constantly appearing in the back of your head.
After you, left also Daniel, leaving Max alone in his huge house - as always. The man didnât feel alone in it, not anymore knowing that a beautiful and georgous woman like you lived just across the street.
Instead of cleaning the mess Max made his way upstairs to his master bedroom. Not turning on the light but instead opening the curtains letting the moonlight in, the man sat on his bed watching every your move, trying to remember every detail about your body and how it moved.
He wished he was the one laying on the bed, surveying your body, touching your soft, pale skin as you undressed, instead of your stupid boyfriend.
The blonde couldnât believe someone like George was able to pull you, such a sweet and mesmerizing creature. Have you not noticed his humongous, terrifying eyes staring into your soul? It was quite long since someone caught Maxâs eye the way you did. All of them were awlays already taken, but not for long...
ŕźśâ.âŽ:âšđâ:âŽ.â
A few months passed since you moved back to your childhood house. Those few months were very calm and enjoying although you always had a feeling someone watched you. Watched your every step, every move, everything you did. Also some of your things started to disappear, or maybe it was just your amazing ability to loose them.
All the free time you had, you used to bring the building back to life. It looked way better than before. Fresh, pastel yellow paint graced the outdoors walls, pots filled with red flowers hanged from the ceiling on the porch, a white, wooden swing sat there too.
The only thing you still had to work on was the lawn, but you needed Georgeâs help who worked longer hours than you, coming back home late in the evening, drained from life and any energy.
You told him multiple times to change the job as the money wasnât adequate to working hours nor the amount of things he did, but he refused saying he won't be able to find a better one.
Sometimes you wondered if he enjoyed the work and exhaustement, that's why he refused to leave. Him not having a job wouldn't have changed much anyway, you've earned more than him anyway and your salary alone was able to cover all the expenses.
Max saw that too. He noticed how you struggled alone with the lawn, just to quickly give up and go back inside, how you did all the chores around the house by yourself which clearly pissed you off.
He noticed that your boyfriend came back home late, not able to please your needs or at least talk with you. If it was him on George's place he wouldnât care if he was tired or not, instead being all over you the moment he came back home, doing everything you needed him to and more, talking with you about everything and nothing.
He couldnât let you suffer because of him. No... He had to do something about that.
One night George didnât come back home at all, which made you worry. He could either be cheating on you or something happened, there was no other option.
To addition to your worry he didnât answer your calls nor texted back. It was midnight when you heard a car pulling up, you shot up from the couch and run up to the window just to be disappointed immediately.
It was just Max coming back from work. It was weird though, he never came back so late. You sighed and decided to call it a day and try to contact your boyfriend the next day. But he didnât answer then either, nor the next day.
You finally decided to go to the police station and report his missing. They took it immediately and they assured you theyâd try their best to find him. But they didnât succeed...
ŕźśâ.âŽ:âšđâ:âŽ.â
That day George was back home way before you, wanting to surprise you with a dinner he was about to make, then try to clean the house as much as he could.
He walked into the house, not bothering to lock the door behind himself, then stepped into the kitchen and dropped the bags full of ingredients onto the kitchen counter.
After changing into home clothes, George started to prepare everything needed for the spaghetti, when he felt a huge pain in the back of his head and his vision went black.
The man woke up after a few hours, to the sound of classical music and sharpening knives. He tried rubbing his head, but was restrained, tied to a chair in a dark basement.
âYou finally woke up Georgieâ
Russell heard a voice say, but was unable to tell who the person standing in front of him was, because of the darkness. The lamp hanging above his head barely lightened him, not reaching far into the room. The man walked up to George and put his sharp knife under his chin, making him look up.
âYou thought one dinner would be able to recompensate Y/N all the time she has to spent to keep the house in a good condition?... "
A sharp laugh vibrated through the room, until it suddenly stopped and the knife pressed against George's neck.
âYou're funny "
The strange man stepped closer to George, the light finally hitting his face. Max smiled maniacally, he was going to have whole lotta fun...
Russellâs head hit the metal table, almost knocking him out before Max splashed cold water onto his face.
âUh, uh, uh. No sleepin, we havenât even started "
The man strapped him down then approached a trolley, his fingers running through the various torture tools he owned.
âWhat should I use first... "
Max wondered out loud while George tried to release himself, without success.
âWha-what do you even want from me?! What have I done?! "
He screamed into the dutch'es face after he turned around, holding a pair of scissors then cutting Georgeâs sweater in half.
âOh you know well what you've done. If you were smart enough, you'd notice I even said itâ
The man could feel Max's cold finger run down his chest to his abs. He picked back his knife and pressed it to Georgeâs stomach, pushing it slowly in and listening how the man screamed in pain.
When the knife was deep enough, he made a sharp move, opening him up and revealing his intestinal tract.
âLooked at these beauties... "
Max peaked inside, opening the wound more and more while Russel choked on his tears. He breathed heavily, which was hard because of the toument, fear spreading through his whole body.
âIs this really... J-just about me... Not having time?... "
He managed to choke out while looking down his body, the sight made him sick. Max's fingertips were already covered in blood, from touching the intestines, his lips spread in a horrific smile, eyes shining in awe at the sight.
âI knew... I knew there was something wrong with you... You better stay... Stay away from her! "
He tried to fight, but the slightest move turned into an unbearable agony.
âWell... It's not like youâre gonna do anything about this lover boy. Not anymore at least... "
Max shrugged and flashed George his white teeth then his hand dipped inside his stomach to soon pull out the large intestine. Russell cried out in pain, closing his eyes which angried Verstappen.
Throwing the organ to the ground he opened his eyes with force. He clipped his eyelids pulling them softly out so his humongous, blue eyes could stay open the whole time and watch the terror.
âYou're gonna watch how I ruin you, either you like it or not... "
The man whispered into Georgeâs ear, his hot breath made a shiver run down his spine, their eyes locked. Max's hand traveled back to the wound, slowly creeping inside.
âI want you to say it... Say sorry for your absence... "
He whispered once again before straightening up and watching George from above. He studied his face, how his nose scrunched at the pain, eyes desperately trying to close and chest rising and falling rapidly.
He liked that sight. No. He loved it. He loved to cause him pain, thinking it was fair and well deserved. The man pulled out his small intestine, inch by inch, waiting for the apology.
âI-I'm sorry okay... I-I tried... I tried... I should have... I should have changed the fucking job god!... I fucked... I know I did... But it's not a reason to kill me you psycho!â
With one sharp pull his small intestine was out and on the ground, blood splattered everywhere, some sticking to Max's face. In that moment he looked like a true serial killer and George started to fear about you.
âThat's the only thing I wanted to hear. Now... See you on the other sideâ
With that words Max reached for Georgeâs heart pulling it out with one go and finally killing the man. He then stripped him off the meat and the skin from the face, hanging the later made mask obove his desk.
âWell... It surely was fun... "
âWise men say
Only fools rush in
But I canât help falling in love with you... â
ŕźśâ.âŽ:âšđâ:âŽ.â
It was a month since you last saw him. The first few weeks you cried yourself to sleep which hurt Max. It hurt him to look at you in that miserable state, crying over a man that didnât even deserve you.
Weirdly, he was the only person able to fully comfort you. He invited you over for dinner or supper every day or visited you to join eating so you wouldnât be alone, he helped you around the house â even hired a maid in the first weeks to help you.
The man was so sweet and caring, he made you forget about George by the time Christmas came. He then thought he finally had a chance with you until you appeared on his porch, holding a hand of some strange man, introducing him as your new boyfriend.
âMax, this is my new boyfriend, Sergio. Sergio, Max is my neighbour â obviously â and my close friendâ
You smiled up at both men as they shook each otherâs hands, Max gripping Checoâs tightly giving him a death glare. Max understood you tried to finally move on and live a normal life, but why couldnât you move on to him?
After all those things he had done for you, all the nights heâs spent by your side, all the money heâs spent on you, you chose some stranger over him?
Blood boiled in his vains thinking about it and watched your new boyfriend hand him a Christmas gift. He accepted it only because of you, smiling sweetly when you were leaving.
ââI donât think he likes me...ââ
Sergio whispered as you walked away but you just shook your head with a chuckle.
Checo was just as sweet as George. You tried not to compare them together but it was too hard. You've noticed they were really similar, but Checo had way more time for you than George did.
You've also noticed the change in Max's behaviour, it wasnât anything big but after a year of your friendship you knew when something was wrong, you just couldnât figure out what. It started when he met Sergio and from then on he was so cold towards him, not like towards George.
The vain on his forehead was about to pop every time he saw you two together, everytime you smiled because of the Mexican, every time you laughed because of him.
âWas he jealous? "
You wondered but pushed that thought aside. He couldnât, he was your friend after all.
Sergio was a dream boyfriend, a knight on a white horse. He helped you around the house, didnât rush your relationship letting you get used to him before doing something and most importantly he truly listened to you and didnât ignore even the stupidest of your fears or needs, not like George.
But the dream quickly fell appart when you let down your walls and the two of you got too comfortable around each other. He moved in with you without even asking, as his landlord kicked him out.
You couldnât understand why thought. He had a well paid job yet couldnât affort a low budget apartment? Well, turned out he lost it some time ago and havenât told you about it.
From that time he stayed home all the time, doing shit, occasionally leaving in the evening for a few hours. He was really stressed and frustrated, sometimes rising his voice at you when you did something wrong, but then quickly apologising and offering a massage to comfort you.
But that aslo passed rather quickly and with time his shouting became a daily thing. One day he hit you. A juicy slap across your face, leaving a red mark.
You were fighting over his shouting again but this time he didnât hold back. Thatâs when you found out how he really was.
Brutal, disregarding your opinion, caring only about sex and a âmaidâ, in one word â despot. Yet he was so sweet at the beginning. You felt fooled...
You were too scared to tell anyone, so scared the man would hurt you even more and you had enough of bruises and cuts you tried so good to cover.
No one seemed to notice it, beside Max. He didnât want to mention them though, as he figured you wouldnât like to talk about it.
Every time he invited you over for dinner you either didnât come because Sergio didnât let you, or came just for a few minutes before the man burst in and dragged you back home angrily.
Max couldnât understand why you just didnât kick him out and leave him. Only two months after Checo started to be aggressive he disappeared. You felt so good when he didnât come back home for a few days straight and quickly threw away all his stuff. You finally felt free...
ŕźśâ.âŽ:âšđâ:âŽ.â
Kidnapping Sergio was the easiest thing ever. The man wandered through the two , eventually stopping by one if the alleys and walking in. He lit a cigarette and watched the stary sky while waiting for a dealer. Soon a car parked in front of the alley, a hooded man walked out making his way towards Checo. Â
âHereâÂ
He handed him the money and stretched his other hand waiting for stranger to give him the drugs. The man quickly took the money then tazed Checo, getting him unconscious. Â
Slowly opening his eye, Sergio grunted in pain. His body was stiff, half naked, laying on cold metal. The man looked around, the only thing he was able to see was himself, but he could hear footsteps from behind. Trying to roll his head up, he noticed his hands tied to some machine and a back of a man, quietly humming an Elvis song. Â
âWell... Well... Well... Look who has finally woken up... "
The Dutch smiled from ear to ear, making his way over to Perez. Â
âVerstappen?! I knew there was something wrong with you! You better let me go or-"
âOr what? "
The blonde cut in. Â
âIt's not like you're gonna do something about this. You canât afterall... Besides... You deserve itâÂ
Max hissed turning on the machine that bit by bit started to stretch Sergio's body. The Mexican screamed, wiggling and trying to break free but was tied too hard, only giving himself more pain. Â
âYou son of a bitch! You're a fucking monster! "
He shouted and spat on Max's face. The Dutch frowned and only turned up the speed slightly, after wiping his face. Â
âI am a monster? Maybe tell it to Y/N, after all... You were the key hurting her. Not me... Now. You better apologizeâÂ
He hissed and increased it even more, the screams and noises of breaking bones and muscles filled his ears, they sounded like honey. But Sergio wasnât going to apologize. Nothing was going to make him to apologize for what he'd done. He'd rather die than say it. Â
âFine... "
Max sighed unsatisfied finally raising the pace to maximum. Sergioâs body teared in half, blood splattered everywhere making the man groan in pleasure and lick the blood off his lips. Â
"Shall I stay?
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you? "
