BILLIE

“Is something wrong?” Felix questions as he looks back at me with a whiteboard marker in his hand. It’s late into the evening, and we have been working on this page of the website for hours. I’m tired, and I want to go to sleep.

“Everything’s fine. Do you think maybe we could wrap this up? It’s been a while since we’ve been working, and it’s almost one thirty in the morning. We can pick this up on Monday.” I gather my things and place them inside my bag.

Felix yawns and nods.

“Probably for the best, I’m wrecked. I’ll walk you to your car.”

We exit the elevator on the ground floor and walk out the large front doors. Stopping, I feel around my pockets because I just remembered I may have left my phone in the office upstairs. I check inside my bag and sigh in relief when I see it.

“All good?” Felix questions.

“Yeah, I thought I left my phone upstairs, but it’s in my bag.” I smile. I see a familiar figure emerge from the shadows, and my smile grows slightly bigger when I realise it’s Nate.

His face is set in stone as he approaches, and my smile is ripped off my face in almost an instant as his fist meets Felix’s throat. Horror, shock, and fear descend on me like a waterfall crashing into a river. My screams tear through the dark night as he beats this man senseless.

“What the fuck are you doing!? STOP!”

I try to pry him off Felix, but it’s no use. He’s three times my size. He shrugs me off like I’m an annoying fly on his shoulder. Picking up Felix by his hair, he slams him into the wall and says something to him I can’t make out. From the blood rushing through my ears, I can only hear my thoughts. I don’t understand what’s happening. Nate catapults his knee into Felix’s ribs as blood flies out of his mouth. Rushing to Felix’s side, I look up at Nate. I want to scream, I want to fight, but I stay here, like an immovable object, completely immobilised.

Why would he do this? Felix would never hurt a fly.

What the fuck is going on?

By the time I manage to dislodge the knot in my throat, Nate is walking away, back towards the shadows he emerged from.

“STOP!” I yell as I pick myself up and run after him, turning the corner of the block. I spot Nate turn around, a sombre look on his face. Both my fists meet his chest, but he doesn’t budge.

“What did you just do!?” I yell as his jaw clenches, looking away from me. “What the fuck is wrong with you!?” My voice breaks. “I was so wrong about you.”

“Yes. You were.” He finally speaks, his voice calm. How can he be this calm after he beat the shit out of Felix? I feel like I’ve been betrayed, robbed of the wonderful moments we spent together. He is not the man I believed him to be.
