“Babe. You home babe? ‘Cause I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll have the door opened by a guy who I don’t know. Who the hell are you?”
“Hello! I’m a friend of Chick’s, I guess you are too. Come in, come in! Coffee, tea or Bovril? Well, I can’t really offer you the tea because I haven’t worked out where it is yet but I could get you some water. I’m waiting for her to get home from the club because she kicked my arse last night at Othello and I am going to get her back for it and prove that I am the undisputed master of the game! Do you like Othello? I love it, best game ever.”
Nella stared at the kid in front of her. A thousand watt smile didn’t even begin to describe the joy radiating out from his face at her. There was an innocence there that she hadn’t seen in a long time and was beginning to think didn’t even exist anymore. Oh good lord the kid was still talking.
“...is my name and I’m here with some friends and my friends took me to the club where I met her and we’re friends now. Oops, I’m sorry I’ve been going on for far too long. What’s your name?”
“Nella.”
“You’re Nella? You came back! Oh she is going to be so happy. This is going to be the best night ever! She should be back from the club in an hour or so, I’ll just grab my gear and give you a hand with yours. Where is it?”
“I don’t have it with me, I’m not sure if I’m going to stay yet. There are still some things I need to work out first.” Nella couldn’t understand why she was telling even this much to someone she didn’t even know, but there was something about this British guy that just floored her. This may also have been the reason she didn’t immediately understand why the atmosphere in the room changed as soon as the words left her mouth.
“So you’re just popping in because?”
“I’m not sure that why I’m back is any of your business.” Who did this young pup think he was? Now Nella was caught up on the atmosphere in the room.
“I just don’t know that you popping in and out is the best thing for her right now.” The voice was calm, but there was a steely undertone.
“And again, I’m not sure how that’s any of your fucking business!” If Film Brain had known Nella, known of her reputation, known anything about how the world he was visiting worked, he would had walked away at this moment.
However, he didn’t know, and blind stupidity and faith were his only allies now.
“I’ve sat here night after night, listening to her crying over you not being here. Crying because she feels naked without the protection she thought you gave her. Because someone she thought would be around forever decided to leave in the middle of the night without saying goodbye or even leaving a note!”
“She never noticed the other times I left; I refuse to believe that this time in particular is any different.” Nella was fully aware that she sounded like a petulant child but it was the truth. She’d left for days before, once for a week but the Chick had been too far out of her mind to realise that Nella wasn’t there. Either that, or she’d never come home at all, which wasn’t a particularly palatable thought. Dammit, was that moisture in her eyes?
“So what? You took your pyjamas and holed up in a motel for the night and came back when she was waking up? That hardly constitutes leaving.” He was angry now: angry that Chick was wasting her tears and her time on this bitch, angry that he had to deal with it and angry that he couldn’t think of a way to fix it.

“Watch and what? Send her out to get hit on and hit by any idiot who walks through the door with enough money? I remain the only man who hasn’t bruised her in the last year, and I don’t look like losing that spot any time soon!”
“Mister high-and-mighty are we? You paid for her, that makes you the same as the rest of them. Just another John on the road that she’s chosen.”
Film Brain was the closest he had ever and would ever come to hitting a woman. “Sure. She’s on a path neither of us can or want to follow her down. But you? You’re part of the reason she’s on that path. Every day she wakes up and goes to that club, it is because of you. Every bruise on her face and in her heart is because of you! And I’m the one currently here picking up the pieces - ”
Nella snorted, mainly to hold back the tears that she knew were imminent. “Oh really? You think you’re so fucking special because she lets you fuck her and hold her and tell her everything is going to be okay? Let me tell you something - you will spend the rest of your life wandering after her like a sick puppy and never a single thank you for it! Never thank you for the peace that you’ve given her - the home you’ve created - the love you gave her---“
With that, Nella slumped down on the couch, sobbing.
Film Brain looked at her and sighed. There must be some good in her, something that made her come back. She cared for, loved the Chick. And he saw how he could start to make it better. “Look, here’s the difference between you and me. I’m leaving in a couple of weeks, going back home. Eventually I’ll be a memory that she doesn’t really want to hold onto, because it reminds her of you.” Nella looked up at him, and he moved across the room and sat down beside her. “I can’t be here to put the pieces back together every time you leave. If you are coming back, stay. If you don’t think you can be here it’s probably better that you’re not. But whatever you decide, she doesn’t need to see you like this. I don’t think you want her to see you like this.”
Nella nodded, and made to leave. Film Brain grabbed her arm. “We both want to see her happy, right?”
Nella nodded again, and gently prised her arm out of Film Brain’s grasp. “Don’t push your luck. There are men without kneecaps for less than what you’ve said here tonight.” And with that, she walked back out the door.
Film Brain heard the door close and sighed. No wonder the Chick was how she was, if this was the support she was getting. But, Nella was going to think about it. Nella would come back, with arms open and the Chick’s best interests at heart, he knew it. And then they would be happy and they could get away from this place and he hugged himself with happiness. Right now he needed the bathroom, and after that, he was going to find the tea and spend some time with the Chick, just to hold her over until Nella came back for good.

You just had to put that in there, didn't you? I was just a bit wibbly throughout the fic but this broke me completely. *sniffles* Oh, Film Brain's optimism... D:
