(Jenns pov)
I start feeling tipsy and that's when I decide I want to take pictures with every single person I've ever spoke to I'm my entire life and I guarantee I will look at those pictures tomorrow and regret it, my hairs most likely a mess my makeup is probably all worn off.

A short while later the girls and I head into the toilet to touch up our makeup and sort ourselves out a bit and surprising I don't look that bad I just brush through my hair and apply a bit out of lip gloss before heading out following the other girls. It's busy people banging into each other, walking into each other and dancing away so I lose sight of them that's when a dry cold hand grips my arm and drags me out of the building. It all happens so fast I don't even have time to notice who it was until I'm pushed against a wall a shortish man with dark greasy hair covering most of his face. His thin lips look dry, his eyes are dark, his skin is dull and covered in wrinkles. One of his hands is gripping my waist, his long jagged nails scratching and claiming into my skin, his hot musty breath on my neck and the smell of alcohol and sweat consuming my nostrils the closer and closer he gets. My heart is thumping, my breath is speeding up. His hands start to move from my waist down to my bum I try and wriggle out but I can't I'm just getting pushed further and further into the brick wall his boney hips pressing into mine

"Don't" I basically whimper as he keeps trying to grab and touch me, his hand drags down my face

"Hands off" niko growls and instantly I feel at ease im okay he's here followed closely by Chunkz

"Nah she's mine" the drunk man says as he goes to grab me yet again but Niko gets there first and steps infront of me holding my waist tightly

"She's not brother" Chunkz tells him but he's still not taking no for an answer

"You okay?"Niko asks me while holding his arm I look up at him and nod the guy steps closer to us and that's when niko stands in front of me completely shielding me from this man

"I want her" the man shouts trying to grab ne yet again

"Home time buddy," Niko tells the man pushing him away from us. Luckily the bouncers notice and finally usher the man out the building. Once he's completely out of sight niko turns to me still holding my hand "you okay?" He asks as he sits down pulling me on to his lap and tucking the small pieces of hair behind my ears and i just nod not really making eye contact with him knowing I will cry if I speak he places his hands on my chin tilting my head up to make eye contact with him "it's okay darlin' I'm here now, please speak to me" He says gently wrapping his arms around my waist pulling me closer to him followed by my arms wrapping around his neck

"Thank you Niko" I quietly says into his neck

"Don't thank me gorgeous" He says as He places his large hand on the back of my head holding us close together and I've never felt so safe and protected in my life

"No, I don't know what would've happened if you and chunkz weren't there" I say pulling away to make eye contact with those beautiful big brown eyes

"We don't need to think about that because we, I am always here I won't let you down you need me any time and I'll be there" He basically whispers

"I appreciate you so much niko thank you" I say pulling him into a hug

"Jenn" I hear freya say so we pull apart

"Can we grab Jenn for a minute?" Talia asks and I nod, stand up and head in their direction

"Jenn we are so sorry we didn't know you had fallen behind we didn't know" Freya says

"Yeah jenn honestly we are so sorry" Talia adds quickly

"Guys don't worry it's okay it's not your fault" I tell them as I pull them into a hug

"We are never letting you out of our sight again" Talia says acting like my mum as per usual.

The girls and I call it an early night and head home shortly after.

I get a taxi to the corner shop near my house and that's when I see a face I didn't want to ever see- my ex boyfriend- James Arthur. Yep as in the singer.

He wrote so may songs about me while sleeping with other girls, we were together for about three/ four years I thought things were good that was until he started getting distant, he became disrespectful. He'd go to the studio and not come back that night telling me he was writing songs about me little did I know he was with other girls and he was every night he was on tour. We released our version of rewrite the stars from the greatest showman and that very day I found out. His friend came round to comfort me he saw I was weak and took advantage of that he tried to touch me told me how I was too good for James and I deserved a real man. I told him no so many times and he just didn't listen he didn't know the limits. He knew I was drunk and tried to take advantage of that luckily my friend came round and stopped him.

"JenniferRae" I hear his husky voice say and I internally scream

"James" I grunt

"Don't act like that love," he says and I just roll my eyes "c'mon you know I still love ya" he tells me

"I don't care James it's done and has been for a while now" I tell him

"It was always you that I wanted I just thought you were more fun than that, thought you'd be up for a bit more exciting love and you were too busy touring and recording you didn't have time for me and a man has needs. So why don't we rekindle take that sexy little outfit of yours off and have that unreal sex we used to have?" he says

"Did you not hear me when I told you it was done James?" I ask him letting out a snide laugh

"C'mon just casual then I miss that sexy body jenn no one does it like you let's just keep it casual then" he says and I pay for what I need in the shop and leave hoping not to see him again.
