Saving Him

F O U R

"Hop in," He said while walking around to the driver's seat. I got in the old silver car that looked questionable and buckled in. He clapped his hands and rubbed them together. "Now, lets have some fun." What did I get myself into...

"Can I have a hint to where we're going?" I asked.

He shook his head. "Just go with the flow. Like I said, live a little." He then turned on the music as high as it can go and the song was 'Livin On A Prayer' by Bon Jovi,

"Tommy use to work on the docks!" He sang. I laughed at how out of tune he sounded. "Come one cupcake, sing with me!"

"Whoa! We're half way there, whoa oh! Livin on a prayer! Take my hand we'll make make it I swear!" We both sang at the top of our lungs while laughing. I have to admit, I haven't had this much fun in a long time. Scratch that, I've never had this much fun. And it was with the person I'd least expected, Cole Meyer.

I laughed when he started to pretend to play the guitar in the solo. "Cole! Eyes on the road!" I scolded while laughing.

He also laughed and then continued to drive. When the song ended we we're both breathing heavy from singing so loud. "Here we are," Cole announced.

I can't believe he took me here.

A bar.

"Cole, I can't go in there!" I said in a panicked voice.

"I'm only picking some stuff up, relax." He opened his door and got out. "Come on, Cupcake, don't want to be out here alone." He said as he shut his door.

I looked at my surroundings and realized he was right, I didn't want to be out here alone. It was dark and people were making out every where. I followed him and he slung an arm around my shoulder. "Whatever you do, do not leave my side." He whispered, I nodded and we walked into the building.

It was loud and dimly lit. Everyone looked like they could eat me... Even the women. "Tom, can I have two bottles?" Cole asked the man that was now in front of us.

"Sure thing bud, but who's this pretty lady?" Tom asked, eyeing me, making me extremely uncomfortable. Cold quickly stepped in front of my slightly, blocking off the man's gaze. "Aw come on Cole, don't you want to share?"

"Just get the stuff," Cole said through clenched teeth. It was weird seeing Cole this serious because he's usually always joking or annoying the crap out of me.

About five minutes later, Tom returned with a paper bag filled with only God and Cole knows what. Cole roughly grabbed the bag and turned around, holding my hand to take me back to the car. He opened the door for me then quickly went to his side. He placed the bag in the bag and drove off without a word.

"What was that all about?" I asked.

He turned his head toward me but not taking his eyes off the road and smirked. "Just business, Cupcake."

"Here we go again with the secrets." I sang out.

Cole chuckled. "Do you like the beach?"

I nodded. "Yeah."

"Good, because that's where we're going."

"Um, it's like nine o'clock, a little late don't you think?"

"Who cares. Stop being all negative and chill. In fact, I have a very good way to take your edge off."

"W-what is it?" I asked nervously.

"You'll see," He sang.

Fifteen minutes later we're walking down the boardwalk towards the deserted beach. "We can do anything we want here." He says as he pulls out what's in the mystery bag. "I brought my friends, Jack and Jose." He said referring to the bottles of liquor.
