Biting your lip, you stood in front of your closet. A few dresses caught your eye, but unfortunately, you couldn't wear them to the party tonight.

Your boyfriend of 2 months, Jace, hurt you a lot. Whenever he was mad he started hitting you. It usually was when you got home late or when you said something that upset him. Sometimes it was because you hung out with your best friend JJ too much. Jace thought you were 'cheating' on him. Nonsense of course. You were best friends since third grade and used to do everything together.

So going to a party you couldn't wear your favorite dresses. They revealed too much and someone could see your bruises. And if that happened and people started asking questions, Jace would go crazy. You were terrified of the thought of what could happen. Just like the thought of what would happen if you broke up with him.

Sighing, you grabbed a green sweater with black shorts. Although it was warm outside, the sweater would hide the bruises on your stomach, back and arms. It wasn't your favorite option, but it was the only convenient one.

After changing into your outfit and putting on some make-up, you were finally ready. You grabbed your phone and car keys and drove to John B's Chateau. When you arrived, it was already pretty busy. You got out and searched for your friends.

Looking around, you saw Kie and JJ talking. Relieved you saw someone you recognized, you walked up to them. "Hey girl!" Kie squealed happily. Laughing, you hugged her. "Hey J." He smiled and put an arm around you. Knowing Jace wasn't here, you let it. "Here." He handed you a drink. "Thanks."

"Why aren't you wearing your fancy dresses anymore? You look so hot in them!" You looked at Kie after she mentioned that. Yeah, you wish you could. "Maybe next time."

"I bet Jace would love to see you in one of them" she teased. You swallowed. The pogues knew you were dating Jace, but they didn't know about anything else. They just thought it was a healthy relationship. And you wanted to keep it that way. "Probably" you quickly said with a fake smile.

"Where are Pope and John B?" You asked, changing the conversation rapidly. "I don't know actually, they went to get drinks ten minutes ago." You nodded.

After a long time of drinking, dancing, and laughing you were quite drunk. Maybe all those beers and mixed alcohol weren't a good idea. But the alcohol made you forget about all the things Jace would do if he found you here like this.

When you saw JJ standing near the drink table, you immediately stumbled to him. When you reached him, you practically crashed into him.
"Wow princess," he wrapped his arms around your waist.

If only Jace could see this.

"Haven't you had a little bit too much?" He joked. You shook your head. "I want another one." You tried to reach the drinks behind JJ, but he caught your hand. "No no, that's not a good idea, princess."

"Please?" You whined.

"No" he said sternly.

"And you should go to bed. Come on it's not safe to drive so I'll take you to my room here." He started to walk away with you. You struggled against his grip, but JJ was too strong. So reluctantly, you let JJ take you to the Chateau.

When you walked into the spare room, aka JJ's room. you let yourself fall on the bed. But JJ quickly pulled you back up. "Don't fall asleep yet."

"Why not?" You asked, your eyes almost falling shut. "Cause you need to drink water and change into a comfortable outfit." Barely registering what he said, you nodded. JJ walked to the bathroom and came back with a glass of water. "Drink this." You obeyed and drank the whole glass.

"It's empty, look!" You showed him the empty glass happily. JJ smiled and nodded. "Very good." You put his arms around his neck and gazed into his eyes. "Now we only need to change you into a different outfit. You can wear one of my shirts."

You chuckled and shook your head. "We can't do that, silly." JJ frowned in confusion. "And why not?" He questioned, not knowing why you said that.

"Because you'll see the bruises Jace gave me."
