CHAPTER 7

Lola

Finally, I was feeling on top of the world. The school week had gone by smoothly. We hired two more people at the coffee shop. Things were looking up. Tonight Sophie and I got invited to a drag show by a classmate of ours. Caspian was a complete trip, and I couldn't wait to see him perform. I called Catalina to know if she wanted to come out with us, but she passed. Something about Liam's convict cousin dropping by unexpectedly. So her ass hat boyfriend wanted her to stay in tonight.

I hate him.

I stared in the mirror, feeling myself, and ran a hand through my hair. Loosening my tight curls, I let my long dark locks tumble over my thin shoulders. I smacked my lips, admiring how the smooth, creamy way of my favorite burgundy lipstick painted my soft pink pout. Sheesh. I looked good tonight. My makeup was more dramatic than usual. Normally I steered away from a glittery eye, but given the event, I wanted to go all out. I smoothed out the black form-fitting bodycon dress that hugged my every curve as I gave myself one final once over before heading out the door.

"Thank you for coming tonight. I need all the support."

Caspian thanked us as we stepped out of the parking deck and towards the nightclub. His boyfriend, Jamie, was all smiles as the two love birds walked hand in hand. They were so freaking cute together. It made me sick.

"No problem, but you two are gonna have to chill on that adorable PDA. " I joked. "You're making me jealous."

"Don't sweat it, Lo. I got you, " Sophie threw her arm over my shoulder and pretended she was going to kiss me before pulling back.

Our laughs must have caught the attention of a group of frat boys because the next thing I knew, a slew of derogatory comments were being thrown our way. One of the guys thought he was really funny because he was the boldest of the bunch.

Bitch. The Justin Bieber wannabe coughed out from behind us after we walked by them.

"What the fuck did you just say?" I turned on my heels, ready to put this shithead in his place.

"Not you, sweetheart, " the sleazeball stepped up to me, and I almost choked on the axe spray permeating from his baby blue polo. Jesus Christ, people still wore that shit? Yuck.

"First, I'm not your fucking sweetheart, " cutting my eyes. I closed the tiny space between us. "Second, you're going to apologize to my friends before I make you regret your words." It had been over a week since I kneed that jackhole in the balls, and I was itching.

"Oh, come on, sweetheart. It was a joke."

"A joke?" I looked back at my friends, who looked mortified that I was challenging this group of ignorant know-nothings. "A joke, he says. Are you laughing because I'm not laughing?" They shook their heads before I turned back to the piece of shit standing in front of me.

"Apologize."

"Look, we don't want any trouble," one of the douchebags friends said to me. I could see out of the corner of my eye he was holding his hands up in front of him, but apparently, his buddy didn't get the memo.

"Fuck that, Tyler. I don't answer to no bitch, " the smart guy spewed. "What's the matter, baby, haven't been fucked properly? Is that why you can't take a joke?" He laughed while his two friends remained silent. "Need me to fix that for you." He licked his chapped lips, causing me to shudder and not in a good way.

Being extra petty, I looked him up and down as I snorted in obvious disgust."I get fucked fine, thanks," I snorted, watching his face grow red in irritation.

"Plus, I doubt you could even find the clitoris, let alone please it." His friends laughed at my little comment, earning an angry grunt from their buddy. "Now, apologize."

"Fuck off, you stupid cunt," the piece of shit ground out through his crooked teeth, making me see red. I give you a chance, and this is how you repay me, buddy?

"Come on, Lo, he's not worth it." Sophie grabbed my hand, tugging me back. I stared down at the asshole for a minute. Deciding he wasn't worth it before my feet started to retreat.

"That's right, listen to your girlfriend, dy–"

I never hit someone so fast then I had just punched him, cutting off his sentence. My fist collided with his jaw. Before my knee crashed into his junk while I wailed on the fuckers head. Maybe that asshole Cristiano was right. Perhaps I didn't know how to act like a lady because I craved making people bleed too much. I had a taste for it. Always have.

Things took a turn for the worst when his friends tried to yank me off of him because my friends flew into action, and fists were flying everywhere. Not gonna lie. Beating on this asshole was giving me a pure adrenaline rush. I laughed, hitting him again and again. I lived for this shit.

My high was cut short when the sound of sirens came flooding in.

Fuck.

Seconds later, we were surrounded by Miami's finest. After being yanked off, the frat boy I got put in cuffs and thrown up against a chain-link fence, as well as Sophie Caspian and Jamie.

"Fuck, " I cursed when it scraped across my skin, cutting my left cheek. This is just what I needed.

Why couldn't you just walk away, Lola? Because it wasn't who I was. I'd fight for my family and friends until my last breath, regardless of the consequences.

"What seems to be the problem, " the officer asked the guys who were still uncuffed instead of us.

"I don't know, sir. We were just trying to get into our car, and they just started attacking us, " the asshole lied while his sheep agreed with him.

"They're lying," I shouted.

"I suggest you shut your mouth, little girl before you make things worse on you and friends." Officer shithead told me as he turned back to take their inaccurate statements.

Un-fucking-believable! We were tied up, forced to listen to false allegations while they sneered at us.

Once he was done writing in his pad, he turned to his partner with a smirk before telling us that we were under arrest. I was about to argue my case when Cristiano walked up out of nowhere and whispered something into the pig's ear that made him three shades lighter as the blood drained from his face.

Silently nodding, the cop made work of  plucking his keys from his waistband and freeing us. Then he and his partner handcuffed the other guys and threw them in the back of their squad car. My mouth fell open as I watched in disbelief. Who the hell was this man, and why do I suddenly find him incredibly attractive despite my hatred for him? Shit. I was so fucked.

ツ hope you enjoyed it.
