Consequences of Falling in Love With a Frat Boy

The Aftermath

Chapter 6

Everything happened so fast.

Bottles were broken, girls where screaming, as hands grabbed me pulling away from the hand that was still trying to grab me, Will’s hand. Everything seem to go in slow motion. The top of my dress ripped as I was yanked backwards.

Max, Harry, and James all rushed passed me grabbing the guy who was still attacking Will. When they finally got him off of him, the guy stood running a hand through his ruggish looking hair, looking up away from the guy and looking in my direction that’s when I noticed the guy was Niall.

I must’ve zoned out from shock or something because I was completely unaware that Jess was shaking me, and yelling my name. “Melissa say something good damn it!”

My eyes were still locked on Niall until I turned to look at Jess. “Damn it Melissa! Say something!” yelled Jess. “You smell like tequila and Beer.” I said looking at her. Jess laughed, “Oh god she’s delusional.”

I looked around as I saw everyone was standing in a circle around me, just staring. Max dropped down in front of me grabbing my hands, “God your shaking.” I forced my attention from the crowd to Max. Looking at him, he placed his hand on my cheek brushing my lips as I flinched away. As soon as that pain from my cheek and my lip rushed through me I gasp, “Oh god.” As everything that just happen seem to rush into my head and hit me.

My eyes started to sting from the tears that was forming, “M-max.” I chocked as I blinked back tears, making it hard for me to see. Max arms wrapped around me, hugged me as he whispered, “It’s okay, he’s gone Mel.” I clutched onto Max for dear life. I was so scared, I couldn’t stop shaking. I felt a hand rub my back as I heard Jess voice so soothing telling me, “Everything will be alright.”

Pulling away from Max I looked around and saw that people were still starring. I took a breath and slowly tried to stand. My legs felt like Jell-O as Max took my arm as I kicked off my heels. “Max can you take me home?” I asked softly, tears still burning to fall. Max nodded as I grabbed the front of my dress holding it up, Thank god I wore a bra, I thought as I started walking towards the back gate.

Walking to the gate I stopped when I heard someone yell, “Wait!” I stopped and turned around with Max standing in front of me like a bodyguard.

Niall walked up as he stepped in front of me and said, “Here I think you need this.” With one quick motion Niall removed his red shirt, girls behind him whistled and called out to him, rolling his eyes he looked at me and handed me the shirt.

Reaching out I grabbed it as I hurried and pulled it over my head. It fell mid- thigh, right where my dress stopped at. I forced a smile at Niall and said, “Thank you.” he looked at me and nodded as he looked down. I turned and walked out the gate feeling completely embarrassed and ashamed, Max opened my door as I climbed and got in the car as we drove to my condo.

Niall POV

I didn’t know what just happen. Fighting was something that I tried not to do ever since last summer when me and bitch arse Riggs got in a fight at the beach where I nearly almost lost control and blacked out, leaving him barely concussion on the sand. I shouldn’t have been the one to rush to Missy side; I should have just let Max handle it since he was standing right next me.

Letting out a ragged breath I turned my head glancing down the street in the direction that Max’s car had just went. I ran both my hands through my hair as I squatted down on the front lawn. God why did I feel protective of this girl? It’s been 3 years and I hadn’t even liked the girl, her presence was always a bug and she was a bitch. I remembered when I first met her she was shy and very defendant towards everyone, then I remember a conversation me and Max had awhile back.

Flashback

Grabbing two beers me and Max went and sat in the backyard just as the new pledges were starting to clean up. Taking a drink I looked at Max, “Why didn’t you bring your little puppy? What she doesn’t like being brought out a night?”

Max punched my arm and said, “Niall don’t start.”

“What? All I’m asking is a simple question. It’s been what, half of the school semester and I’ve never seen her not once at the parties.”

Max shakes his head and says, “Man it’s complicated.” I took a drink and looked at Max. Something about the look on his face said that whatever it was had been terrible on both parts not just Missy’s but on his too.

“What happen?” I asked.

Max drinks his beer and shakes his head, “I can’t be the one to tell you, she has to when she’s ready.” I looked at Max, nodded and took another drink dropping the subject.

I was looking at the redness on my knuckles when Harry walked up. “You alright mate?” rubbing a hand over my knuckles, I looked out to the street again taking in a breath as I stood, “Yeah I’m good.”

Harry looked at me and said, “What happen back there?”

I shrugged and said, “I don’t know.”

Harry waited, standing next to me as he said, “Why did you push Max? You knew he was right there seconds from grabbing the guy and you just pushed him and took over, what gives?”

I looked at the ground shoving my hands in my pocket and said, “When I get an answer I’ll let you know.”

Harry started to ask me something else when I cut him off and said, “It’s been a long night, I’m going to take off and had back to my flat.” Harry nodded as I pulled my keys out my pocket and stalked over to my Expedition.

Normally I would have gone back to the party, drank some beers, got completely what is it called? Irish boy trashed, found some easy hot chick and went back to her dorm for the night, but I didn’t, I couldn’t. As much as my body was screaming for another beer and pointless hooking up, I had this other voice, this other yearn that was pulling me to leave, to go back to my flat. To be with her. Whether I wanted to or not

Melissa POV

After Max and Jess had walked me into the condo they insisted they’d stay. After 30 minutes of telling them that I was fine they finally left. I didn’t look in the mirror at all. I was too afraid the see the damage that had been done. Walking into my room I closed my door and stripped off my dress leaving on Niall shirt that he gave me.

Laying down in the bed I took in the scent from his shirt, Armani Mania, was the first thing that popped in my head. The scent was warm and inviting and was of a musk and amber smell with a scent of a citrus fruit, not sure which one, but I liked it. Closing my eyes I took a deep breath and softly cried myself asleep.

I heard my door open, but I didn’t wake up. There was movement in my room as someone sat on my bed. I was exhausted and worn out that I didn’t even open my eyes. The person smelled like ivory soap, like they had just gotten out of the shower. Pushing my hair behind my ear they sat there for a moment, pulled my blanket up over my arms and then left out the room.

I woke up around 5 in the morning and I had to pee. After I handled my business I went to was my hands. I glanced up in the mirror as I did a double take, Damn it! I looked. I slowly brought my hand to my face and fresh tears begin forming in my eyes.

My lip was split on the right side as my whole left side of my face was red and slightly starting to bruise. I stepped back falling against the wall as I side down crying, with my knees pressed to my chest.Few minutes passed when the bathroom door flung open and I was pulled into someone’s arms. I wrapped my arms around them tight, crying into their shoulder.

In-between crying I heard Niall voice say softly, “It’s going to be alright. I’m here.” Tightening the little space that was between us he placed one hand on my back, while the other ran through my hair as he said, “Everything will be alright I promise you Missy.”
