'Too many joy rides in daddy's jaguar 

Too many white lies and white lines 

Super rich kids with nothing but loose ends 

Super rich kids with nothing but fake friends.'

I pushed him away from me and slapped him across his face.  

I was a never a person to promote or condone violence but, I felt so impulsive and Cook took me off guard.

That's when Harry, appeared.  

Seeing the fury in his eyes, I was sure he witnessed what happened moments ago.

" Get your hands off my girlfriend!" Harry roared.  

Lana and I were both intimidated by his fury.  

" I'm just here to get back what's rightfully mine." Cook spoke.  

I scoffed at his false-confidence.  

Cook turned his gaze to me briefly and turned back to Harry.  

"Marina, doesn't want me anymore. Do you, princess?" He taunted.  

I shook my head answering his question.  

"Marina is a fucked-up little girl on the inside. I don't think she knows how to love anything." He spat.  

"That's enough. Cook I think it'd be best if you leave." Lana suggested.  

"It's you and me, babe. It's always going to be you and me." Cook confessed and darted for the exit.

His admission left me speechless.  

Cook has never shown any sign of emotion.  

I despised him.  

But, at the same time I felt empathetic towards him.

Harry approached me and caressed my cheek.  

" Are you okay?" He asked concerned.  

I bit my lower lip and nodded.  

He took my face in his hands and gazed into my eyes for 

reassurance.  

"If he hurt you, you have to tell me." He instructed.  

"He didn't do anything. I promise, Harry."  

He kissed my forehead rather fixedly and directed me back to the booth.

I wasn't allowed to dance the rest of the night.  

But, after tons of begging; Harry accompanied me to the dancefloor.

Harry and I danced to one of my favourite songs from Odd Future:

"Kissing under moonlight 

I can bring you to my tree house 

We'll be fucking on the rooftop 

If you're not down, we can just make out-"

I swayed against Harry and he tugged on my waist. I looked up at him.  

He smiled but, it didn't quite reach his eyes.

I stepped up and kissed him sweetly but, his eyes didn't shimmer like I'd grown use to.  

I sighed and continued to dance.

Harry must have heard my sigh and he lifted my face to his.  

He shifted his lips over to my ear.  

" What's wrong, baby?"  

I shook my head dismissing it.  

"Tell me." Harry insisted. 

" I'm scared you'll leave me." I admitted.  

Harry processed my words.  

" I will never be able to get my fix of you, Marina." He admitted.  

My heart fluttered at his words.  

" I'm in love with you. No one is taking you away from me." I could tell the last part was stricly aimed at Cook.  

"I love you as well, Harry."

Deep down I prayed nothing and no one would come between us.  

I tried to dwell on my happiness but, Cook's venomous words floated thorough my head.

' I don't think she knows how to love anything.'
