-is at his house, curling in a ball in his bed-

-calls him to his cellphone-

-Hears his cellphone ringing and takes it... For seeing it was Francis. He stares the screen, wondering what to do-

-is worried-

-Answers, but doesn't say anything-

Aló?Mon amour? Are you there?

-sobs when he hears the "mon amour", but notices that and coughs for hiding it- Francis. -whispers-

Where are you? It's so late..

I'm at my house, don't worry.

..... at your house? Why? I thought we were going to travel together.. did something happen?

-stays in silent for a moment, not knowing how to bring this up- ... I talked with Arthur.

.... so?

He... He told me uhm... -wishes Francis will understand where the conversation is going-

Is he talking about me behind my back again?! You know how he is...yo shouldn't listen him

He wouldn't do something that could hurt me. He wants the best for me.

-sighs- Yes, you always say that

-stays silent-

Matthieu, is there some thing wrong? You know you can trust me... tell me what did Arthur do

He told me. About last time you and him met.

..... Uhm.. what did he exactly told you?

What you did to him... -His voice breaks, but coughs again hoping to hide it-

.... Uhmm.. hit him with a rag? -laughs nervously-

-doesn't reply-

I-I wasn't trying to do anything, really!

Will you stop that? -starts crying again-

.... no no no! Please don't cry! Please....I love you ..

Stop that too... -whispers feeling his heart is breaking again-

I won't, because I love you... Matthieu please.. I need to see you, so I can explain you everything

I... N-No... At least not now, please...

-stays silent desperately trying to figure out what to do- We are a couple, we can solve this together, we just need.. to talk

If we "are" a "couple", then why?

....Why what?

You told me I was special... I mean, I know that's not true -cries more- but I really wanted to believe you... So why did you do that...?

But you ARE special! ... You know how much I dislike Arthur, why do you even think I was serious with him?! Plus.. nothing really happened

Please.. please, let me see you...

Don't deny it, Francis... And I'm not... I just... -Doesn't know what to say anymore- Sorry, I think we should talk later -Needs to hang up-

.... -stays there without knowing what to do-

Arthur... He has the ring. Sorry for everything and... -Wants to say desperately he loves him, but the words doesn't leave his mouth- ...

We'll talk later. -Hangs before it's too late and starts crying again, hugging tightly his pillow-

..... -freezes and opens his eyes widely trying to understand what he said..-

The ring..? Why does Arthur?... oh no.... -falls on his knees trying to avoid the thoughts of what it's already obvious-
