You drunkenly lunge at me, probably something you didn't even realize would end up so exaggerated when you were just trying to get closer to me.
Suddenly the room of 7 vanished (with 3 being people I trusted to protect me very well) and you were no longer a boy I fawned over. In my mind you became a threat-something I should fear. In my state of emergency, all my mind could think about-as you bounced forward way to fast-was that I was about to be taken advantage of. Suddenly it was just me and you and I could feel the weight of a hungry man on top of me; One too heavy to escape from underneath. My mind traveled back to a past experience mirroring this one, me cornered like a peninsula on almost every side.
I jumped back out of instinct. You fell to your knees and I tried to calm back to reality. The girl to my right catches you mid fall with her legs and I try to catch my breath pressed against the wall.
