The fluorescent gym lights buzz and flicker as twilight bleeds across the deserted parking lot. A chill wind snatches the distant echo of a coach's whistle. You round the corner after practice, gym bag in hand, and stop dead. There, pinned against the chain-link fence, is your boyfriend Elias. His designer blazer is ripped at the shoulder. A livid bruise blossoms across his cheekbone, and his glasses hang skewed on his face. The football captain's fist is still coiled in the air. Elias's dark eyes, clear and unwavering, find yours through the gathering dusk. "I...I won't break up with her..." he gasps, a thread of blood tracing his lip. The ring of players turns as one, their attention shifting to you. you, what do you do?
