"Man, this party is wild." I say with a wide eyes. Half of the people in here i don't even know, and half of it, i recognize. They all come to one big pile of a mess. Dancing and making out with each other. I hope they didn't get something bad.

"Ollie, what do you expect from a party? Especially Bryce's?" Jeff says

I stuck my tongue out to him.

I don't know how do we end up here. All i knew was i making out with Jeff in my bed and we confessed our feelings and next thing we know, we agreed into making an attendance to the party. Mainly because i wanted to get drunk, because hey! that confession took a lot of courage.

Jeff didn't think it was a good idea at first, he said he wanted to stay and cuddle but, after a lot of promises, he has a change of heart. And now, we're both here. Between the sweaty body and the smell of alcohol and cigarette in the air.

"I'm going to the backyard!" I shout to Jeff over the loud music.

"No! You stay here with me." Jeff argues

"I'm gonna be fine, Jeff. I promise." I say

"What if something happens to you again?" I know by something, he means Bryce will sexual assault me

"I wont let anyone touch me. I'm all yours."

I don't know where we stand. Are we a thing now? Or just someone who is in love but can't do anything about it?

I go with the later.

He huffs, "Okay. But be safe, okay?" I nod

I was about to walk away until he pulls me back again, "What do you want to drink? I'll catch up to you."

"Your choice." He nods and pull me into a kiss for a second

I rise my eyebrow at him. "Stop. Continue your walk now."

I walk to the backyard, it still packed but not as much as in the house. Weirdly, i haven't seen Hannah or Jess. I went to sit beside the pool and dip my feet into the water. Thankfully i wore slippers.

My mind starts drifting off to how's my life this last 7 months. Is it hectic? Is it one of the best time in my life? I don't know how to answer that. But it's definitely a mad roller coaster. It starts of how i met Jeff online and then real life, and how i became friends or best friends with the greatest group of friends i've ever known, and not to forget, how Bryce comes and ruining it all.

Literally.

"What are you doing here all by yourself?"I can tell he's smirking by his teasing tone

"Do i have to write don't fucking bother me in my forehead for you to understand?" I say

He chuckles, every tone in his voices trigger every anger in my body. I couldn't stand this douchbag.

"Now, why so aggressive?"He teases

"Listen. Can you fuck off please? I even used please." I say in exhausted tone

"Where's the fun in that?"

"Jesus fucking christ." I groan

"I saw you back with Jeff."

"That's none of your business."I scoff

"I still don't understand why would you choose him over me, i mean have you seen me?"

Exactly. you rotten pig.

"Yeah? That's why i wont even be near you. And do you think you're that good looking?"

"In fact, i do. Admit it."

"Yikes. You're so ugly, one direction went to 5 different directions."I cringe

"Don't lie to yourself, baby." He says.

"Stay the fuck away from her."A growl heard from behind him

We both turn to whoever makes that sound. Jeff.

"Calm dude, we're just talking. Right Ollie?" Bryce smirks

I roll my eyes, "Whatever."

"Go away man, no one wants you here. Especially her." Jeff now standing beside me like a human shield from the disgusting man in front of us.

"You sure about that?"

"Oh. Very damn sure." I pipped in

"Bryce, do you seriously don't think we know about you and forcing people to sleep with you?"Jeff says

"You mean raped?" I whisper to Jeff

"Yes. Raped." He says and hold my hand to let me know he's here to protect me.

I don't know why am i so surprise about this. I can tell by just the look on his face that he always has a way into people. Part of me know that, but part of me wish i was wrong. All i can think about was who's that little innocent girl he was assaulted. Or how many. Or what if that was me.

"You're delusional."Bryce barks a laugh, "They're begging for it."

"I think you mistaken a cry for help and begging for it." Jeff says in a cold voice

Bryce moves his eyes between Jeff and i. Back and forth.

He then chuckles, "You know what. Fuck yourself. Both of you." And walk away from us

"Why don't you show me first? I need tutorial." I yell at him

Jeff laughs beside me, "You goofy." And turn to me

"On a second thought, maybe that comeback wasn't that good. I don't want to see his wiener." I grimace in disgust

"Are you okay?"Jeff asks me, getting serious

"Perfect." I smile at him.

Thank goodness, he's my knight in a shining armor now.
