Adam Met-A Love Story.

Chapter 1: The Bar.

"Do we really have to go out?" I asked Izzy in a tired tone. "Yes. And who knows. You might ' even meet someone." She stood in my bedroom doorway looking at me with her arms folded. Reminded me of my mother. "Don't do that to me. Not after him." I replied, putting my makeup brush down. "Annie I-" "I know. I know. It's been 3 years and your tired of me being a third wheel in the apartment I get it." I sighed and finished putting my eye shadow on, matching my dress. "You don't have to if you don't want to." she said, coming over to me. "No, no, i need to. It's time." I stood up and walked out my room. Izzy following. Our heels echoed in the hallway, my bag draped over my jacket. "Ryan, we're leaving now." Izzy called back to her boyfriend in the back room. "Coming sweetheart!" he called back, rushing towards her. I opened the door and the cold night chill filled my body. We got into a cab and headed to the bar.

I sat there. Izzy was off with Ryan somewhere, I was surrounded by men infront of the bar, I was definitely not used to this. I felt trapped. Like every eye was on me. They most likely weren't. But still. The thought lingered in my mind. "Well aren't you a pretty one among the pigs?" Strange line i thought to myself. I did a fake laugh, hoping he'd get the point and leave. He didn't. "Well?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. "What?" I pretended to be confused, I knew his plan though. Get in my pants. "Well what are you doing here all alone?" He asked, waving his drink around. "I'm not alone. I'm with my friends." I replied, looking away. "Oh yeah? I don't see them." He smirked. I chose to ignore him. He was drunk. There was no point wasting my time on a man who won't remember this in the morning. "Helloooo?" He mocked. People started noticing us. "Hellooooo?" he said again. "I think she's turned off." Another man said. "Windows shut down xp." Sending the croud laughing. I held back a laugh, not wanting to give in. "Well i guess if ye girl don't speak she can't exactly say no." A man from behind said, giving the first man a wink. My heart started beating quicker. Reality started kicking in even more. I was essentially alone, in a pub, surrounded by older, strange men. I began to secretly panic. "How about you come home with me love?" a man said, raising his hand up my back. "No thank you", I replied, slowly moving his hand off me. "Oh come on don't be so boring." The man said, taking my hand. "No, no i'm alright thank you." i replied, attempting to pull my hand away before he tightened his grip. "Come on, leave your drink it's fine." "Yeah, only a bit left." Another man said. I tried pulling my hand from his grip, him tightening it by the second. "Are you okay? Is this man bothering you?" I heard in my ear. I turned to see a kind face. He had long brown hair and deep brown eyes, a rather deep but soft voice too. "Y-Yeah" I replied back, looking down. The pretty boy stood up and confronted the man who had my hand. "I think me and my girlfriend are going to leave now if it's all the same with you." The pretty boy said to the other man. My stomach felt butterflies inside it. "Your girlfriend?" the other man laughed. "Why would you leave her alone at a bar?" he questioned, letting go of my hand and getting in pretty boys face. "I didn't leave her, she's a grown woman and she doesn't deserve to keep worrying about creeps like you 24/7." Pretty boy took my other hand and I got up with him, walking out the bar. Laughs echoed in the background.

We stepped outside, the cold air hitting my skin for the first time in what felt like ages. "Are you sure you're okay?" he looked down at me, worry in his eyes. "Y-Yeah, it's just scary and overwhelming that's all." I replied, looking down at the floor. "Anne! ANNE!" I heard from infront of me. I looked up to see Izzy and Ryan sprinting towards me. "Adam?" Ryan said with a confused look. "You know Annie?" He asked. "No, not really, I just met her in the bar." "Is Jack with you?" Ryan asked. "Yeah, He's with Marie inside." "I'll go see him." Ryan said before shooting off inside. "Anne are you okay?" Izzy asked, concerned. "Yeah, yeah i'm fine thanks to Adam." I looked up at him, he was smiling down at me. "Oh okay well what are your plans for the rest of the night?" Izzy asked. "I-I'm not sure." I replied looking at Adam. "Okay well here's some extra keys to the apartment in case you need them. I'm going out to a meal with Ryan so I won't be home until the morning." She placed the keys in my hand and walked over to Ryan inside. "Annie." I looked up at Adam. "I like that name." he smiled. "Thank you, Adam." I said back, causing him to chuckle. "How do you know Ryan?" I asked. "Oh he's my younger brother. Same with Jack." He replied. "Ohhh. I've met Ryan and Jack but how have i never met you?" I asked as a i started walking. "I was probably at a meeting or something when use met." he replied, catching up to me.
