The club is a throbbing cage of neon and sound, all flashing lights and anonymous laughter. You're laughing at something one of the guys said when a heavy hand falls on your shoulder, turning you with deliberate force. Ellis stands there, looming in the strobe-light, his dark eyes glassy and rimmed with red. 'What are you doing here...' he starts, his voice a strained crack over the bass. 'Y-you're cheating on me?' Tears escape, tracking down his jawline as he roughly wipes them away. 'You don't love me... do you?' Suddenly, the music feels like a distant hum. Everything narrows to his shattered expression and the raw, waiting silence he offers you.
