The Change|| A bxb Mafia story.

29.

Trigger warning: talk about Self harm, yelling, etc

Max fell asleep after the nice maid helped him, though he woke up an  hour after falling asleep to Valentino shaking him awake, he jumped up, he wasn't talking to him, he couldn't just yet. He wasn't ready to speak- it was too early in his mind. He looked at Val confused and then the other spoke up
"I was very worried about you, you knso that? One of my nice maids told me she helped you calm down from something huge, so I'm asking you. What happened?" He stated firmly, he wanted an answer and he knew he had to use force or he wouldn't get anything.
Instead of listening like he usually does, Max just looked down at the ground and didn't say anything, pretending the ground was very much more interesting than anything else around him
"Tell me what's going now, Max" he got angrier every time he had to ask this, he thought it wasnt hard to answer. This time Max looked him dead in the eyes and got up from the bed, adjusted his hoodie and went to walk to the door but Val vrabbed his arms, that was Val's biggest mistake in his life.
As Val grabbed his arms he winced and cried out in pain so loudly.
"What the fuck Max? I didn't even fuxking grab you that hard" he yelled, frustrated, he didn't know why Max was acting like this and now doing what he just did.
Max backed away from Val and looked back on the ground, that's when Val had gotten up and walked towards Max, towering over him and eventually cornering him so Max couldn't move or do anything to escape him, he whimpered as Val placed a gentle touch on his arm, that's when it clicked.
Val had figured out what Max had done.
He instantly ripped the hoodie off of Max body and examined it, looking for where he had done it.
Max was crying this whole time and cried harder when he was forced to turn around and then strip to his boxers to see his thighs were cut up, his upper arms, his forearm, his wrists his chest. He didn't leave a spot empty pretty much.
Val let him go gently and looked genuinely sympathy for the first time in his life, that made Max  worry. Val helped him put his pants back on and guided him to bed. They both sat down in silence while Max cried
10 minutes passed and Max and Val were still sat in silence other than the occasional whimper from Max, until he had spoken up
"Did I make you do this? Was I too hard on you" Val muttered while wiping Maxs tears with his hoodie he had on.
"No, Val, no you didn't I'll explain to you later, I'm sorry I made you worry, I didn't think you'd find out. I'm so sorry" Max broke down harder this time and Val did too, Val calmed down a bit but Max only cried harder
The other male laid Max and himself down and cuddled him gently, whispering sweet nothing's into his ears and playing with his hair, hoping it would calm him down and even make him fall asleep.
