LATER THAT EVENING:

Lille's POV -

Although everyone else was having a good time, I'd just been pushed to the side and forgotten about now.

If they were in a relationship, then they were all over each other and didn't leave enough space to breath for more than thirty seconds. And, if they happened to be single, then they were doing the same.

Hollie was busy with someone I'd never even seen before, but I assume she must have known since, when he first arrived, he went straight over to her. Either that, he just thought she was attractive and didn't want to miss a chance like this.

After being ignored for a good hour now, I decided that I was going to go for a walk and see what else was in the area; I might have more fun doing that than I am right now.

"Where you going?" Charlotte managed to say before she burst out laughing like an idiot.

"Just for a walk, fed up with being ignored by you all..." I sighed in response and then turmed away from her, walking in the first direction that I came to.

"Then come over and join in with us all." Charlotte replied.

"And throw myself over some guy I've never met before? No thanks." I said, attempting to hold back the laughter at the thought of being like any of them.

"Don't say I didn't offer and don't throw it back at me when you're bored." Charlotte snapped and then walked away from me, flicking her hair at me as she walked off.

I just released a sigh and then walked off, not really knowing where I was going or who I was going to see; especially with it being a Friday night and everyone being out, getting absolutely smashed and having a good time.

*

I walked down an alleyway, getting the feeling that someone was following me; I sped up the way that I was walking and turned down onto a small street where there were only a couple of houses and not many lights to show me the way that I was walking; I just wanted to get away from here and get back to where I was supposed to be.

I steadily increased the speed at which I was walking, and it wasn't long before I'd broken into a jog and I heard the footsteps behind me - someone was definitely following me and they weren't going to leave me alone.

Fear and panic took hold over my entire body, my eyes desperately looking for someone to help me or a safe place to hide until they had gone and were no longer following me. The adrenaline pumping through me was the only thing giving me the energy to keep going right now and I wasn't going to be stopping for anyone.

But it wasn't long before I felt someone grabbing hold of my arms and pushing me into the wall, a sinsister look on their face; like they were almost proud of what they were planning to do.

"Hello there beautiful." he whispered in my air, the smell of smoke and alcohol mixed with the air around me. It was disgusting and made me feel physically sick.

"What do you want?" I replied, trying to hide the fear and avoid eye contact with him at the same time.

"I just want what everyone else wants, a good time." he stated as he attempted to kiss me on the lips, I turned away just in time and he only just caught the side of my lips, but it was still enough to make you feel sick and, if I had use of my arms right now, I'd have punched him and run.

"Just, leave me alone, I don't want a good time." I said, it coming out as pretty much a whisper and nothing else.

"That's a shame because I always get what I want, whether you like it or not..." he laughed like this was the most normal thing in the world.

"I don't think my boyfriend would approve of that."

What?

Boyfriend?

Clever one Lille, really dropped yourself in it now. Give yourself a round of applause and a pat on the back to celebrate being so intellingent.

"Boyfriend, ay?"

"Please, just, I'm not here for anything, leave me alone." I practically cried, pulling my hands free from his grip and a couple of stray tears made their way down my cheek. I regretted ever leaving the group now, and I hated myself for coming this far out in the first place.

"Don't worry about a thing. It'll be over before you know it." he smirked as his hands began feeling their way across my body and his lips continued making contact with my face as the tears flowed and I thought about how everything was going to be over here and no one was going to even care what had happened because they were all too drunk to give a damn anyway.

My entire body was shaking and I felt nothing other than fear, I allowed the tears to silently fall and just closed my eyes because I didn't have it in me to fight anymore, I just wanted it to be over and then he would leave me alone because he'd have what he wanted and there would be no use for me anymore.

"Excuse me mate, what do you think you're doing?" I heard someone say, I didn't even need to open my eyes to know who it was, but I didn't even know he was here or why he was here either.

"Jay!" I said with a relief of happiness, the guy letting go of me, allowing me to run over to him.

I don't even care that we hate each other, I wrapped my arms around him tightly and cried into his chest. His hand suddenly began rubbing my back in a soothing manner, as he whispered things into my ear to cheer me up.

"You appear to have ruined my evening here, Jay..." the man snapped angrily.

"Go and find some other girl, you keep your hands off this one or it'll be the last thing you ever do." Jay said through gritted teeth, I felt his free fist beginning to clench into a ball and he was getting ready to punch this twat extremely hard.

"And you think I'm scared of you?" he laughed, but he wasn't laughing for very long, especally after Jay's fist landed in his face and gave him a bloody nose and probably a bruise to remember this evening by.

"C'mon, let's get you back to the others." Jay smiled, wrapping his arms around me again.

"I don't want to go back, I want to go home." I replied through the tears.

"Are you sure?"

"Please Jay, take me home..." I said, looking at the ground and not at Jay; I couldn't look at him because I didn't want to look at anyone. I just wanted to go home and I wanted to spend time with Max; I wish he was here now, even though he is overprotective most of the time, I'd rather that than having no one.

"I'll get Tom to come and pick us up." Jay smiled again, removing his phone from his pocket as we reached an area that looked familiar.

"Why are you here anyway?" I questioned.

"The girls thought you would need someone to look out for you and make sure you weren't eft out all the time, guess that didn't work though, they just ignored you and wanted nothing to do with you." Jay answered, still not letting go of me as we walked down the road.

"Oh. Why did they get you to do that then?" I replied.

"Hollie seems to think I'm in love with you, so convinced me to come down here with you. Crazy right?" Jay chuckled.

"Yeah. Crazy." I sighed, the beach where everyone was partying was now coming into view and none of them seemed to even notice I was gone; none of them even cared about me or wanted me here in the first place.

It was all some clever plan to get me and Jay together.

I'm an idiot sometimes and really need to open my eyes to what's right in front of me.

"Do you just want to wait here, Tom said he'll be here in a couple of hours?"

I didn't reply, I just nodded and sat on the grass beside Jay, admiring the few stars that were in the sky; it was a rather warm night and the light breeze just kept it cool enough for you to be able to sit still and not worry about anything else.

Jay wrapped his arm around me again, pulling me into his body and making sure no one touched me again while he was around me. I didn't bother fighting against him, I just placed my head on his shoulder and slowly began falling asleep there and then.

"You're not as bad as I thought you were." I muttered through the tiredness.

"And you're not as bad as I thought you were either." Jay replied, pulling me closer to him and placing a kiss on the top of my head.

Any other day, I would have punched him and told him to leave me alone, but tonight I was just too tired and didn't really care; I was falling asleep and I would kill him in the morning.

Jay's POV -

I looked at Lille who had fallen asleep on me, and the tear stains had left marks behind. The girls had looked over at us more than once, but none of them even bothered to come over and see if she was alright; none of them even cared that she had dsappeared and wasn't answering her phone.

I only found her because I walked around and looked for her, everyone else was too drunk to care and, if Max found out that they all left his little sister the way that they did, then he was going to go mental at them all.

"Where was she then?" I looked up to see Hollie stood there, a bottle of vodka in one hand and a cigerette in the other, she looked so cheap and desperate.

"Do you actually care or are you just being nosey?" I questioned her.

"She's my bestfriend, of course I actually care about her." Hollie snapped.

"Then maybe you should have gone looking for her yourself rather than throwing yourself at anyone and everyone who will have you."

"Why do you care all of a sudden, you hate her anyway?"

"I've never said I hate her, and I also wasn't going to leave her out there on her own." I replied, looking away from Hollie and at the road to see if there were any cars on their way down the road.

"Are you coming back over with us?" Hollie asked, clearly wanting to get back to the party and wasn't especially bothered about anyone else.

"Nope. Lille wants to go home, Tom is on his way and will be here soon." I said.

"Why does she want to go home?"

"Not my place to tell you. If you want to know, then you'll have to ask Lille when she's awake."

"No, tell me now." Hollie demanded, her hand on her hip and flipping her hair around with every word that she spoke; she was really rather annoying and fake. I don't understand why Lille would put up with her and everything that she does.

"Hollie, just go back to the party, talk to Lille in the morning." I sighed as I decided that I was now going to ignore her and not even bother giving her the satisfaction of a response.

"Whatever Jay. Tell Lille I'll text her when I'm awake." Hollie replied as she ran back off down to the beach, shouting Charlotte's name as she did so, probably to tell her what had just happened between me and her; not that I really cared or anything.

I just wanted her to leave me alone and stop talking to me.

I was sat there for another half hour, just watching Lille sleep and admiring the stars before she woke up and looked at me in shock; I don't know whether that's because I was still here with her, or if it was because she managed to stay asleep on me abd hasn't bothered to murder me yet.

She didn't say anything, all she did was look at me and then put her head back on my shoulder, pulling the jacket further around her shoulders as the breeze had picked up and it wasn't as warm as it was earlier.

I just wanted Tom to hurry up and get here so I could get Lille back home, I think she just needed to see Max and spend some time with her brother; he would make sure she was alright and she wasn't too upset by what had happened.

But, one thing was for sure, when Max found out what had happened and that her friends had left her alone, he was going to be extremely annoyed and he was going to make someone pay for hurting his sister.
