You had just gotten off the phone with Millie, who happened to be your boyfriend of two years..old collaborator, supposed best friend at a point. The conversation began with her asking legal advice, due to your background in law, but it ended with you sat on the couch of ur boyfriendâs apartment, staring empty at the wall.
Dull, light headed, tears in your eyes as you started to question everything. All because you had found out that a week prior, the night you and Keys had a date planned that he had last minute canceled due to âfood poisoningâ was actually canceled since his plans were replaced by helping his âold friendâ find a way to prove that Free City used stolen codes from Life Itself. The game he coded. For her.
Your issue wasnât the fact he was alone..in his apartment..with the girl you knew he had previously had a crush on..the girl he had created a game with..the girl your relationship insecurities stemmed from, no. It was the fact he canceled your date, and LIED.
Many fights between the two of you were due to him and Millieâs âfriendshipâ. You trusted Keys, without a doubt, but this pit in your stomach..
Your spiraling thoughts were interrupted by the opening of the apartment door, your head slowly turning to see Keys putting his computer bag on the ground and stepping out of his shoes.
âWhyâd you lie?â you had managed to choke out
Keys snapped his head to look at you, startled at your crying, the anger yet disappointment lacing your voice.
âBaby what-what happened? Who lied?â
He had instantly rushed over to you, taking your face on his hand, wiping your tears with his thumbs.
âFriday. We had a date, we were going to cook pasta and watch a movie at my place. You said you got food poisiobibh from the lunch Antwan ordered that day.â
After a second of thinking, he hesitantly responded.
âYea..yea, i did..it was bad chinese food,â
You had started to cry more. Form the fact he lied to your face again, and the fact he couldnât even keep his story straight. The original thing he told you wasnât from lunch Antwan had ordered, and it wasnât chinese food. It was, supposedly, the mexican food he had the night prior with Mouser. It didnât help that after looking closely, you noticed the slight tint of pink to Keys face. As he lied
âYouâre a fucking liar! If youâre going to lie to my face..at-at least keep the story straight!â You angrily snapped, your voice raising as you got up from the couch.
âIâm not lying baby i-i swear it-â
âDrop it Walter. I know itâs because you were with Millie. She called me almost half an hour ago, asking for legal advice. She..she said friday night you guys were here at your place, and found proof of the stolen codes in Free City.â Within the split second of you snapping and him trying to back up his lie, you lost all emotion. Just straight drained, disappointed. Not angry, not sad, dull. Fully dull.
At the mere mention of his actual name, and not âKeysâ or any of the stupid nicknames you had created for him, his face dropped.
âI had to lie! Okay?? I knew youâd flip your shit over me being with Millie.â he seethed, flipping like a switch. From a confused boyfriend, to an angry man.
âIâd flip my shit because you know how I feel about her! About you and her being alone together!â
âRight because now iâm a fucking cheater? Is that it?â His voice echoing through the small apartment.
âThatâs not what I mean Walter and you know itâ You gave him a look of utter betrayal. He wasnât going to spin this on you, putting words in your mouth.
âStop calling me Walter!!â He seethed, pulling g at his hair.
âGive me a reason to call you anything endearing, go on.â Tears bubbled at your eyes, blurring your vision.
He immediately softened. But you arenât having it.
âBaby cmon..â He attempted to move closer, but every step he took, youâd take an additional two.
âI canât even look at you right now.â You began to cry, wiping your eyes as you hurriedly grabbed your bag, slipping your phone in your sweatpants pocket and grabbing your shoes.
Just like that. Keys flipped like a light switch.
âYea, storm out because youâre an insecure bitch. Real mature!â
The last part was yelled as you slammed the door to his apartment shut. Hurriedly, you had walked to the elevator, then the parking lot where your car had been the last four hours. The thirty minutes blurred together.
You ended up home in bed, sobbing into the nearest pillow as your phone blew up. Keys, most likely. You couldnât even talk to him, nor think about him without feeling like you couldnât breathe.
His words replaying in your mind
You loved Keys butâŚwhen the subject of insecurity over Millie came up..the man you loved was no where to be found.
The only thought you could remember before passing out from the tiredness and crying, was what the fuck you were going to do about your relationship.
