"Allison!"

My eyes snap open and I gasp for breath, my hands flying to my neck in disbelief. I register the strong arms around me and I let out a cry, scrambling out of their hold. My back hits the wall as my eyes land on the boy kneeling a metre away from me and he looks at me with wild concern.

"Topper?" I croak out, my throat burning.

"What happened, Alli?" The blonde Kook asks me in horror.

"I want to leave. Can you get me out of here? Please, Top" I plead, trying to pull myself to my feet but my knees give out on me.

Topper swiftly catches me before I hit the ground and he scoops me up bridal style, looking down at me in worry.

"I'm gonna take you home, okay?" He speaks softly and I nod, laying my head on his shoulder.

He carries me through the country club and I let my eyes flutter closed, my body feeling weak with pain.

"Topper, what's wrong with her?" I hear my brother's voice and anxiety bubbles in my stomach.

"Found her snoozing on a sofa in the back room" Topper lies effortlessly "You know Alli, the girl can fall asleep anywhere"

"I guess she does do that often" My brother mumbles "Are you taking her home?"

"Yeah, man. She's clearly ready for bed" Topper chuckles.

"Do me a favour, yeah?" Thomas asks.

"Of course" Topper agrees immediately.

"From now on look out for her for me. She's delicate right now and I'm worried about her" Thomas explains and my heart swells at the care my big brother shows for me.

"You got it, dude. I'll keep an eye on her" Topper assures him.

"Thanks, Top" Thomas breathes out.

"No worries, Tom" Topper replies.

I feel Thomas pat Topper's back and the blonde boy holding me starts moving again, heading straight for the exit.

The car ride from the country club to my house is silent except for the soft music playing from the radio and Topper glances at me occasionally when he thinks I can't see him, but I notice out the corner of my eye as he frowns at me in concern.

Topper parks the car outside my house and climbs out, rounding the car to open my door. My phone pings and I pull it out, looking down at the text message on the screen.

don't tell anyone what happened
it was a mistake, baby
it won't happen again

"What's up?" Topper asks as he opens the passenger side door and I look up at him, turning my phone off.

"Just Sarah making sure I got home safe" I swiftly lie to my friend and he nods softly, not looking all that convinced by my words.

I climb out of the car, pushing the door shut behind me and Topper walks by my side until we reach the door.

"Are you gonna tell me what happened to you?" Topper questions curiously.
