Ａｌｅｘ

Stepping across the hall, I rested my shoulder on the door frame to Nico's room. "Hey, do you know where Mason is?"

He screamed, throwing his controller at the wall. "Holy shit! Why didn't you knock?"

"Uh, your doors open?"

"Oh. Hey, what the hell, you just made me lose."

I snorted, rolling my eyes. "You were already losing."

"You were already losing." He mocked, scrunching up his face.

"Okay then. Do you know where she is or not?"

"Where who is?"

"Mason? I literally just asked you if you knew where Mason was right before you screamed and chucked your controller at the wall."

"Well excuse me for not hearing you while I was being scared to death but to answer your question, she's in her room with Piper."

"No she's not."

"Uh, yeah she is. Piper ditched me to hang out with her. She said they were going to have a girls night, watch sappy movies and crap."

"There's nobody in her room and Piper's car is gone."

He jumped up. "What? Where did they go?"

"Dude, chill. They could have just gone out to get food or something."

"If Piper wanted food, she'd get in from somewhere that delivered so she didn't have to drive."

I shrugged, "Oh. Well, I'm sure it's not a big deal."

"My ass it isn't a big deal. They're at a club!" He yelled, shoving his phone in my face.

"Did you just track your girlfriend through her phone?"

"Don't you start judging me, mister. Where even is your girlfriend?"

"On her way home."

"What? Why?"

"I broke up with her."

"Why?"

"Because I'm in love with Mason."

"Oh." He waved me off. "Everyone already knew that at least now you do too."

"What?"

"There's no time for questions. We need to go."

"Go where?"

"To the club, duh!"

"And why would we do that?"

"To get the girls? God Alex, did you get more stupider while you were ignoring us?"

"Uh, it'd either be more stupid or stupider. More stupider is a double comparative and grammatically incorrect."

He looked at me disgusted. "Who are you and what have you done with my brother?"

"Well, I'm just gonna go."

"Oh hell no you're not. You're coming to the club."

"How do you even know that they're there?"

"Uh, it says so on my phone."

"No, it says they're in the area, not that they're at the club."

"I'll bet you fifty dollars that they're there."

"I'm not betting you anything because we're not going."

"What do you mean we're not going?"

"Exactly what I said. What would be the point of us showing up? You said that they're having a girls night, which means only girls. I don't know about you but I have a dick."

"You know you're not funny, right?"

"I'm not trying to be funny Nico. I'm just saying that we don't need to go down there and ruin their girls night. You don't even know for sure that they're at the club. They could be shopping or getting their nails done, or whatever it is girls do."

"Shopping and getting their nails done at eleven at night?"

"I don't know. Some stores are open twenty-four hours."

"Yeah, gas stations."

"I don't know." I sighed, shaking my head.

"Just shut up. You sound stupid and that's coming from me. Let's go."

"I told you, I'm not going. If you feel the need to go, then, by all means, go ahead. But when Piper gets pissed off at you, I'll be the first one to say I told you so."

"What if Mason's dancing with guys?"

My jaw immediately clenched. "Then she is, she's not my girlfriend anymore."

"Bull-fucking-shit."

"I'm not saying that I don't care, I just don't have any right to say anything."

"Okay. Then I suppose you won't mind if she's grinding on some guy while he has his tongue down her throat and is grabbing her ass."

"Fine, let's go."

"That's what I thought." He smirked, swiping his keys off his desk.

"Just so you know, if they ask, I'm telling them that you forced me to go."

"I didn't force you to do shit."

"By putting images in my head, you did."

He snorted, climbing into the car. "Yeah, okay. Whatever you need to think to make yourself feel better."

I knew this wasn't a good idea and I really shouldn't be going along with it. I also know that I'm weak for allowing him to get to my head like that. Of course, I don't want Mason kissing other guys. Fuck, I don't even want another guy to look at her but what I had said is true, she's not mine and despite what I wanted; I had absolutely no say in what she does. Yet, here I am. Following along with Nico as we go track down his girlfriend to see if she's at a club.

There's no way this can end well.

"There's her car! I told you. I fucking told you!"

"Dude, that's literally the same parking lot for over half of these stores."

"She's parked closer to the club."

"It still doesn't mean they're in there and if they are, why is it such a big deal?"

He ignored me and got out of the car. Sighing, I followed. "The big deal is that my girlfriend is in a club with a bunch of horny guys who just want to get her pants."

"You're just a horny guy that wants to get her pants."

"Yes but I love her."

"You're right, that makes it better."

"I know. Hey, look it's Anders."

Anders smiled as we came into view. "Ayy!" He stepped forward, giving each of us a one-armed hug. "How you are two?"

"Good, it's nice to see you. How have you been? Good. That's good. Are Piper and Mason inside?" Nico rushed out.

Anders looked to me. "Is he okay?"

"Is he ever okay?" I sighed.

"Now is not the time for conversations. Are they?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Ha! In your face. I told you, I told you, I. TOLD. YOU!"

"Okay, you told me. Now can we go?"

He looked at me in horror. "Can we go? Did you seriously just ask me if we could go? Boy, no we fucking can't go."

"And why not?"

"What part of, my girlfriend is in there alone surrounded by a bunch of horny men who just want to get in her pants, don't you understand?"

"But you're just a horny guy that wants to get her pants." Anders deadpanned.

I smirked. "That's what I said."

"Ha, ha. That's what I said." Nico mocked in an annoyed baby voice. "Now if you two are done, we need to go in there."

"Nico."

"Yeah, yeah. You don't think it's a good idea but just remember what I said about guys shoving their tongues down Mason's throat."

"I really fucking hate you right now."

"Yeah, I really don't care. Now let's go."

Shaking my head, I followed him anyway. "It was nice seeing you, Anders."

"You too."

There were people everywhere, which is obviously to be expected. I don't know how Nico expects to find her in here. "You do realize that it's going to be nearly impossible to find them."

"Are you doubting me?" He asked, offended.

"No. I'm just saying, there are hundreds of people here and it's dark and everyone's dancing."

"Don't underestimate my ability to find my girlfriend."

"I'm not. I'm just saying that,"

"There's Mason."

"What?" I turned around, looking for her.

He grabbed my shoulders and turned me slightly. "Right there."

"Where? All I see is those people making out."

He stepped back, patting my shoulder. "Yeah and Masons one of them."

I squinted, stepping forward. Holy. Fucking. Shit. There she was with some guy who had his nasty hands all over her while he attempted to devour her face. Anger was the only thing I felt. I want nothing more than to walk over there and beat the living shit out of his. Who the fuck does he think he is, kissing my Mason?

She's not your Mason anymore, I tried to remind myself.

Oh fuck it. She'll always be my Mason. And with that thought, I stormed my way over there; gripped the back of the douche bags shirts and yanked him back causing him to crash into a group of people before falling onto the floor.

Ha.

"Alex?"
