Tao: Nick...
Nick: Tao please don't just leave me alone.
Elle: Is everything okay????
Nick: No Elle, everything is very much NOT okay. My boyfriend LIED to me about going to meet up with his psycho ex because he cared more about BEN than HIS OWN SAFETY.
Tao: Safety? That might be a bit far, besides, it's a bit of an overreaction to walk out of school Nick...
Elle: Omg, Nick go back!
Nick: Tao you don't understand the full story, so shut your fucking mouth.
Elle: Nick, what don't we know.
Nick: That's not my place to say
Tao: He's really upset Nick...
Nick: Good! When he stops crying tell him not to bother coming round later.
Elle: Okay we're definitely missing something here....
Nick: Fine, Ben assaulted Charlie months ago before we got together, when he first joined the rugby team, he forced himself onto Charlie and I told Charlie to tell me if he reached out again. I made him cross his heart and SWEAR to tell me.
Tao: God damn it.
Elle: You have to hear him out Nick, he wouldn't have done it without reason.
Nick: I told him to give me a reason, a single solitary fucking reason as to why this is remotely okay and he couldn't, BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ONE. I love Charlie more than anything but if he's gonna just lie to me and break promises then I can't trust him. I'm supposed to protect him ffs. I just feel so useless.
Elle: Nick you're not useless... you just want to protect Charlie, that's a good thing!
Nick: I'm just so angry! How could he do this?! I'm sorry guys.
