Context: You'd been with Salvador since high school. He wasn't a perfect boyfriend by a long shot, and you finally hit your breaking point earlier last night. You've decided to call up Fieras, your bestie, all the way over in Italy. You've known him just as long, and he's always had your back, even if he made no secret about how much he disliked Sal. You wonder how he'll react?

Setting: Home/the airport

[F] = Fieras, Italian longtime bestie, absolutely not yandere (pronounced = Fee - ahr- ez)

[S] = Salvador, your shitty ex-boyfriend, also totally not a yandere

[Scene opens in your apartment]

[SFX: A phone call being made/faint rain]

[You make a call late at night as rain pours outside. After a few rings, a soothing voice answers:]

[SFX: The call is answered - faint party sounds]

[F] Bee! What are you doing calling so late? It’s noon here which means it’s, what, 3 AM for you?”

[...]

[F] “...Bee? Are you there? Hang on, let me duck out of this party so I can hear better.”

[SFX: An Italian party fading away to more general daytime neighborhood fanfare]

[F] “There we go! OK, talk to me, beautiful.”

[...]

[On a dime, his warm, chipper tone becomes icy]

[F] “...Salvador left, hm.”

[...]

[He sighs]

[F] “I swear, that man of yours… What happened this time?”

[Pause - VA’s discretion]

[F] “...So that bastard had the audacity to say that he needed to go and ‘play the field’ more before marrying his high school sweet? Then said that you should ‘feel free to play it too, so long as you waited for him’? Eugh. So he basically just wants permission to cheat, hm?”

[...]

[Fieras sighs deeply]

[F] “...Bee, you know I adore you, yes? I love everything about you! We’ve been friends for almost as long as you’ve known Sal.”

[Pause <3]

[F] “Exactly! He was making fun of my accent even back in high school, when I was just the weird foreign exchange student. He’s been a dick his whole life… Bee, look, I know you don’t like talking about this. I know you hate me bringing him up, especially after we both agreed we’d stop fighting, but your man is a grade A-”.

[Pause.]

[F] “...Ex-man? You mean… After ten years, you finally cut him off?? You broke up???”

[...]

[F] “Bee… How did he react? Did… he hurt you?”

[Pause]

[F] “...Started backpedaling, pleading and begging, then started shouting and trying to gaslight you… Jesus, are you OK?”

[Pause…]

[F] “Had to threaten to call the police before he got his shit and left… And he said you’d see him again soon, ‘like it or not’?”

[...]

[Fi doesn’t answer for a moment or two]

[...Pause?]

[F] “...I’m booking a flight to America. Right now.”

[Pause???]

[SFX: Him hurriedly packing]

[F] “I think it is absolutely goddamn necessary. You take the week off, come grab me at the airport in…”

[SFX: Phone typey types]

[F] “...Ten hours. Understood? I’m coming over there, and I’m going to take care of you as well as making sure that bastard doesn’t try and worm his way back into your good graces.”

[Pause!]

[F] “I don’t care about the cost, I don’t care about how long the flight is, and I run my own company now, remember? I can take however long I desire to make sure my oldest friend is taken care of.”

[Pause!]

[F] “I won’t take no for an answer! That dense clown of a man dragged you to the city, wouldn’t let you make any friends, and kept your family away. Because he’s an ABUSER.”

[...]

[F, gentle] “...I’m sorry, sweetheart. I don’t mean to come down on you so hard, but I’ve been watching him break you for so long… Please. Trust Fieras. I’ll be there ASAP, and I’m going to take care of you. Alright?”

[...]

[F] “It’s no trouble. Nothing ever is for you, Sweetpea.”

[...Pause <3]

[F] “Kisses, kisses, I’ll bring you something fancy! You get some rest, email your boss, and I’ll see you tomorrow. Alright?”

[...]

[He hesitates, tone going a bit dark]

[F] “...Make me a promise, first. Before we hang up.”

[Pause?]

[F] “...Please don’t talk to him again until I get there… OK?”

[Pause…]

[F] “Do you promise?”

[...Pause.]

[F] “Thank you. I love you.”

[Pause…?]

[F] “I’ve been saying it for years now, and I don’t plan on stopping. You can love your friends, and you’re my best friend, so deal with it. I will see you tomorrow, alright?”

[Pause <3]

[F] “Hmhm, I know, you’d be lost without me, my dear. Rest well. Goodnight.”

[SFX: The call ending]

[Unbeknownst to you, your oldest and dearest friend lets a calm, insane smile spread across his lips as he packs]

[SFX: Fieras furiously packing]

[F] “Hmhm… I told you, Sal… I told you what would happen the moment you fucked up one too many times… You won them the first time, of course… With your pathetic, broken boy act, but not this time, no no… This time, they’re all mine… and the moment I taste their lips, they’ll forget you ever even looked their way.”

[SFX: Fade out on frantic packing sounds/the distant ocean]

Time Transition - Ten hours / Scene Change - The airport]

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[Scene opens back in the airport]

[SFX: Fade-in with airport ambiance - bustling luggage, announcements, etc.]

[You sit in wait for Fieras, scrolling through dozens of voicemails from your ex, occasionally playing one to hear the progression of his madness:]

[SFX: ‘Playing new voicemail’]

[S] “BABY! Baby… Please pick up the phone. This is getting ridiculous, my parents are asking what the fuck happened, please just talk to me so we can work this out!”

[SFX: ‘Voicemail saved - New message’]

[S] “This is ridiculous… I opened up to you, was vulnerable with my needs, and you call me a damned cheater?! I said you could be with others, too, didn’t I?!”

[Pause]

[SFX: ‘Voicemail saved - New message’]

[S, sobbing incoherently] “Have you met someone else?! Is that it?!?! Because if you have, I’ll fucking kill th-!”

[SFX: ‘Voicemail saved - New message’]

[Pause…]

[You sigh and put your phone away as people finally begin to disembark the plane]

[SFX: Announcement: Flight 1344 from Naples International is now unboarding’ - Lots of people walking and chatting]

[Pause]

[ He’s off the plane pretty fast - first class, and all. You wave to your friend and muster a weak smile]

[F] “Bee!”

[He marches up to you, throws his suitcase to the side, and pulls you into a heated kiss]

[!!!]

[F] “Shh, just kiss me… Just kiss me…”

[SFX: The Listener’s heart pounding]

[After a bit, he pulls back with a gasp, struggling to catch his breath]

[F] “Phew… That was definitely worth waiting ten years… Now, give me a hug, my poor little Poppet.”

[Pause????]

[F] “I did just kiss you, yes. I made a promise to your putrid excuse for a boyfriend ten years ago that, the second he fucked up and lost you for the last time, I was going to take your breath away with the kind of kiss you deserve.”

[...]

[He holds you tight, no fucks given to the curious airport goers around you]

[F] “..I’ve told you, every day, that I love you. And you, me, even if it was meant platonically. I’ve watched you wilt and wither in the arms of that abusive, repugnant slug of a man for ten damned years, hoping and praying that he would either push too far or you would finally stop seeing the nonexistent good in him.”

[...]

[He cups your face in his hands, practically shaking]

[F] “Please be mine! I’ve respected the boundaries of your last relationship, I’ve even been polite to the fucker, but I also know I can be the man you need! I don’t need to see more of the world, I don’t need to ‘play the field’, I need you. I want to see more of the world with you...”

[...Pause…]

[The proverbial dam breaks and you collapse, sobbing into his arms as he holds you]

[F] “Oh, Bee… Shhh, I am here… I have you…”

[P-Pause]

[F] “Il mio povero bambino, shh… C’mon, let’s go home. I am here for as long as you need me.”

[Pause?]

[F] “I promise. And if Salvador comes by…”

[Your normally chipper friend’s expression darkens. An almost sadistic smile brushes his lips]

[F] “I’ll handle it. OK, Sweetpea?”

[...Pause.]

[He puts an arm around you, grabs his suitcase, and the two of you head toward the parking garage]

[SFX: Fade-out on airport loveliness/traffic]
