Trigger!

The following chapter involves sexual harassment. 

"Girl! You look stunning!" squeaks Chloe.

"Uh look who's talking" I say sarcastically, complimenting her back.

And we make our way to the party. Leo called, that he'll be late.

We enter the given destination. It's a big house. Music blasting loudly and one of the girls who invited us. Well Leo and Chloe to be precise, welcome us as we enter. She has thick brown hair. She's wearing a red shimmer crop top and tight white jeans.

"Amy! You look gorgeous babe!" squeaks Chloe. No wonder she makes so many friends. "This is Amy, Amy this is Evelyn." Amy offers a big smile. She looks sweet.

"Have fun at the party." says Amy while giving a little rub on my arm.

The front room was pretty big, it had a couch in the corner. And a small table with a few drinks and snacks. 3 girls and 2 boys filled the couch.

The next room we enter is much bigger than the previous one; it's a dining com kitchen. The kitchen slab's filled with food and drinks.

"Chloe!" a girl with Afro hair and dark skin, perfectly drawn fox eyes, in a cute light blue backless ruched cropped top, and a pair of tight black jeans approaches us. "I'm glad you made it!" She leans a little closer due to loud music.

"This is Evelyn" Chloe introduces me to the girl "Evelyn this is Mia" she stretches out her hands to hug me and I hug her back she has a big beautiful smile on her face. "Enjoy the party you guys, where is your other friend? Leo was it?"

"Yeah, he'll be late."

"Cool. Let me know if you need anything. I will be over there" says Mia, pointing towards the dancing people. A group of boys and girls dancing and screaming.

I walk over to the table with food and snacks. Grab a packet of Cheetos and Chloe grabs a drink.

"I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight!" everyone sings, while dancing to 'Cheap Thrills' by Sia. I do like that song so I slightly start moving my body to the music.

As soon as Chloe sees me moving with the music she grabs my wrist and drags me to the dance floor. "Chlo-Chloe, nooo.... I'm good with the Cheetos lemme have the Cheetos." but she won't listen to me.

After an on and off dancing for like 40 minutes I realize that Chloe is not dancing anymore, she's drunk dancing now.

Chloe has finished a total of 4 drinks. And now I feel guilty for making this Hazel thing such a huge deal. It isn't Chloe who's really in danger, it's Chloe and my relationship that is in danger.

Leo hasn't arrived yet, or he would've accompanied Chloe. I start doing tiny dance moves, but I'm still way too uncomfortable to accompany Chloe. She needs the crazy type. And I'm nowhere near crazy.

I still try my best. Moving my arms, doing some criss cross steps. And soon I realize how terrible I am at dancing.

I start moving my waist and hips. More and more people start to join the dance. Soon the room is filled with drunk and poor dancers.

The couples hold on to each other, kissing while they move with the music. Some guy stands up on the kitchen slab and starts spraying alcohol on all the people who are dancing.

Some of them even open their mouths to drink it. Which is the least of my worries cause I find myself almost entirely wet. I am about to get out of the crowd when a hand falls around my shoulder holding me from exiting the crowd.

"Woh. You ditching me?" says Chloe, and she's really drunk. She's kinda wet too. I look around to see any of those girls who invited us here. But they were nowhere in sight.

While I still look around for someone helpful, I hear a voice behind me and a hand wraps around my waist and he whispers with a drunk creepy voice, "hey there, dancy pants".

"No.... thanks but I'm not really dancing anymore, I have to get my friend outta here." I unwrap his hands and turn back to Chloe. She's again getting mixed up in the crowd.

He again wraps his hands around my waist, and much harder this time "but you smell so good...." he says sniffing my shoulders. "And.... you're wet." I keep trying to push him away with my elbows and to get out of his hold. "Uh.... fierce! It makes me wanna- -"

He is cut by another guy. I know this person. It was Liam.

Liam holds onto his collar pulling him aside and throwing him away, freeing me from the grip. The guy didn't fall much far. He stumbles a few steps and stands back.

He doesn't even realize that he was thrown away by Liam. He looks back at me barely able to keep his eyes open and says, "dang! You strong!" He licks his lips making me wanna puke on his face and continues "but you'll scream when I fu-"

Liam pushes him on his chest while he tries to come near me. "Don't you fucking da-." He didn't complete. And this time he falls unconscious on the floor. Partly cause he was drunk.

I wonder how the creep is going to feel after he gains his consciousness back. With the thud I heard when he fell, even with the music this loud. It was gonna hurt like hell.

Usually I would be worried about someone who got hurt this bad. But this time all I could think about was the guy in front of me. He stands tall in a black leather jacket, gray shirt inside and black ripped jeans.

"Still wanna dance?" He asks. Raising his eyebrows. His face wasn't like usual. It's a bit intimidating. Even though I realize that I can't take my eyes off of him I keep looking. He's so close to me, smelling fine as heaven.

Within another second he grabs my wrist trying to pull me outside of the crowd, but I stop him as soon as I remember about Chloe. "Wait. I need to get Chloe" I push my way back into the crowd and grab her hand before dragging her out.

There's another room by the right. A gray couch, a small study table, a little bookshelf by the side of it, fainted green lights. The room is painted light blue and little white clouds.

Liam and I place Chloe on the couch. He offers me his leather jacket as I'm slightly shivering. But I take it to cover Chloe up as her clothes are wet.

I sit by the corner of the couch and he leans against the study table. I purse my lips, take a deep breath and look at Chloe while she sleeps peacefully.

She falls asleep as soon as her head hits the couch. Gohd this girl's crazy. The jacket helped her reduce the shivering.

I look over at Liam and find him already looking at me. My heart skips a beat and my cheeks start heating up. I gulp and ask "are you mad?"

He lets out a small sigh and replies "why would I be mad?" not moving his eyes from me.

"I don't know, you sounded like that." I say, looking down at my feet.

"Yeah I was" I look back at him and he starts to approach me. "Well partly at you, I was mad at that perv. For saying such shit" and his eyes quickly scans me from top to bottom. I couldn't say anything due to his glace over me.

He keeps looking at me and so do I. Why? Why do I keep looking at him knowing that it's weird. And why does he not say anything about it? Maybe it's not weird. I like looking at him.

Wait what?! Do I? Yeah, I guess I do.

"Look. You're a nice person. You've helped me with a lot of things and you're kind to other people. You care about people, maybe more than yourself, " he says tilting his head over to Chloe.

This reminds me of something my mother often says. "Mhm, thank you for such kind words" I say sarcastically, making him chuckle. "And also for knocking that pervert down."

We look at each other and smile.

He walks back to the table, leaning against it. Crossing his arms before his chest.

"Speaking of guys, who was that guy you were hugging this morning?" He frowns and looks straight into my eyes.

"What guy?" and then it struck me, Peter. "Oh he's a friend"

"Friend huh?" he questions again, not moving his eyes from me, tightening his jaws and putting his hands in his jeans pockets.

"Yeah.... He's an ex-" his eyebrows came closer to each other. And his jaws tighten. phew. why do I feel good about this? That is a sexy jawline. "An ex-student of Swindon High." I finish, ignoring the fact that it was a wonderful sight to see him jealous. Jealous?  

"Mmhhmm" he replies, quickly glazing over my lips and then back to my eyes. He has to stop doing that, it makes me wanna do stuff to him.

~*~*~*~*~*~

After a while we drop Chloe off at her place. She's barely able to walk so Amy gives us a lift.

I ask her to drop me at Chloe's.

Liam left for his home from the party because I told him that Amy was gonna drop us home. I find the door unlocked, which says that mum is home. I slink my way upstairs.

As soon as I reach my bedroom I lock the doors and get rid of the wet clothes. Take a long warm shower and get changed into my comfy nightwear. It's a pink sleep shirt with light blue borders and a 'Winnie the pooh' on the back.

I go downstairs to grab a pizza slice from the fridge.

"Eva!"

"Hey mum."

"When did you get home?"

"Just a while ago" I give her a smile and go back upstairs not willing to answer anymore of her questions.
