April's POV

The music was on full blast and everyone danced and drank..........punch.

I was over in the corner dancing with Jared when he  excused himself to the bathroom.

I danced alone for a couple of minutes before my throat got a little dry. I walked over to the snack table and took a cup of punch and downed it in a few seconds. I sighed in content and walked over to Tyler who was dancing alone.

"Hey!" I yelled over the music. "Wanna dance!?!"

He nodded and smiled and we started dancing. He was busting moves while I just swayed from side to side, in the moment.

Just then, Sabrina, a member of the cheer squad, grabbed Tyler's arm and dragged him to God knows where and I continued to dance alone.

What is taking Jared so long..

"Hey, wanna dance?!" A male voice yelled and pulled me out of my reverie. This six foot tall boy stood in front of me with his hand held out. His smile was charming and alluring and before I knew it, my hand was in his and he was pulling me to some part of the dance floor.

A slow song came on for some reason and I saw everyone slowly dancing with their partner, even Mae was with a guy. I felt hands on my waist and I jumped at the sensation.

"Calm down, beauty, it's just me. I'm Alex by the way" he said with his eyes on mine.

I laughed nervously and wrapped my arms around his neck. We danced and swayed to the song and talked for a little while. The song was ending and he spun me and dipped me, pulling me up after some seconds.

The party lights were turned off and I took the moment to examine him in the natural light. He had beautiful tanned skin with dark brown eyes and a buzz cut that suited him really well. His muscles looked like it was about to rip it's way out his shirt. I smiled at him and his beautiful smile made its way to his face again and I couldn't help but gush. I'm taken not blind.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw blonde and I looked behind Alex to see Jared, red in the face. He was burning holes at me and Alex. He started walking towards us and before I knew it, he was standing right behind Alex and I was frozen on the spot.

"What the hell are you doing?" He said.

Alex immediately let go of me and turned to the blonde boy behind him. "What do you mean?"

"Don't play dumb with me. What were you doing with my girlfriend!!?" He yelled.

Everyone's attention was drawn towards us and they watched with amusement.

"It was just a dance dude, chill" Alex rolled his eyes and that seemed to piss Jared even more.

"Don't you fucking roll your eyes at me!" He yelled, stepping closer to Alex.

"Okay boys......that's enough now. Let's just say sorry, forget this ever happened and enjoy the party" Ollie said, stepping in and holding his hands out between the two boys.

"Sorry, pssh, why would I say sorry for dancing with a pretty girl?" Alex crossed his arms.

"Don't you dare call her pretty!!" Jared yelled.

"Oh, so you're saying she's not pretty?" He turned to me. "Why are you dating this loser?"

"Don't talk to her"

"Or else what. Whatcha gonna do, blondie?" Alex smirked.

Jared lunged at him with lightening speed and they went crashing into the coffee table, breaking the glass. Jared threw a punch at Alex and I heard a crunch. Alex uppercutted him and he was thrown off, giving him the chance to get on top of Jared. He started throwing punches here and there and Jared was getting weak. He suddenly let out a loud groan and fell to the side, holding his special area. Jared immediately got up and kicked him in the stomach again and again and again and again.

I quickly snapped out of it and rushed to Jared who was still kicking Alex. I gripped his forearm and he yanked it away. He glanced at me for a second and his eyes softened before hardening again.

"Get off me" he said through gritted teeth.

"Jared stop.......please"

But he didn't stop, he kept kicking and kicking and Alex was almost lifeless. Then, as if something snapped in his head, Alex gripped Jared's foot and twisted it, emitting a loud snap and Jared screamed in pain and fell to the floor, holding his leg.

Now that the fighting was over, I rushed over to Alex and helped him sit up.

"I'm so sorry, this is all my fault. Are you okay?" I said in a hushed tone.

"Don't be sorry, beauty, it's not your fault you're dating a sorry excuse for a man".

I tried to lift him up. Another body supported him and I turned to see Myron.

"I called an ambulance" he said.

I only nodded and we walked out of the house. I set Alex on the porch chairs and told Myron to watch him while I went back to check on Jared.

"Are you okay?" I asked as I touched his leg.

"Why don't you go to your new boyfriend since it's all about him" he rolled his eyes.

"Oh shut up Jared. For once just shut up! It was just a stupid dance and you decided to go all Godzilla on an innocent boy. It's not like you don't go around dancing with girls so why am I prohibited from doing the same, huh?! You fucking left me standing and what do you expect me to do? Stand there and wait for you like some dog? This is all your fault and you wouldn't be in this fucking mess if you had just let it go!"

He stared at me with his mouth agape and turned to look at his leg.

"Party's over people. Let's get movin'" Tyler announced.

Grumbles and mumbles echoed from the crowd and they packed themselves out of the house.

"I'm sorry about you party, Tyler" I apologized.

"It's okay sis. It was the best I ever had. Thank you very much" he smiled.

"Sorry bout your leg, bud" he patted Jared's shoulder and walked to his room.

"You've ruined Tyler's birthday party! I hope you're happy with yourself"

And I angrily stomped off to my room.
