Intoxicated By Your Love

It's Over

Lydia

I wasn't able to sleep the whole night because of what happened between me and Enzo. I can't believe I made out with Enzo Rider. The guy who locked himself in his past with the memories of his dead girlfriend.

I sit with Nancy and Steve in the break room. I'm daydreaming about what would have happened if Enzo didn't have something important to do last night.

Suddenly, a warm touch wakes me up. This hand with the light scars and the black tie around the wrist looks familiar.

It's Enzo.

He grabs my hand and takes me outside.

Will he talk about last night? I'm not ready yet to go through that conversation.

We stop in front of the door. He stands behind me, putting his hands on my shoulders then he points forward with his finger.

"That's Trevor over there". He whispers.

Trevor is talking with his friends a few meters away from us. He's putting a bandaid on the back of his head. I guess Nancy was telling the truth when she said that Steve saw Enzo breaking a Ukulele on Trevor's head, for me.

"I want you to go and punch his face". Enzo requests.

"What?!".

He twirls me around to face him, squeezing my arms.

"I want you to go and punch him across his fucking face". He repeats.

I was thinking about how I can avoid Trevor because I'm afraid to face him, but Enzo is asking me to not just stand in front of him but also to punch him.

He pats my shoulders to encourage me, saying that I need to take my revenge. I try to escape, but I'm not able to hold out Enzo's strength. He pushes me forward and the distance between me and Trevor is narrowed. I look back at Enzo and he punches the air, showing me the right way to do it.

Enzo is right. I have to learn how to take my revenge on my own. I'm sick of getting bullied by these assholes, it's time to stand up for myself. I close my eyes, taking a deep breath. I raise my head and I walk confidently in Trevor's direction.

"Hey, Trevor!". I shout his name.

As he turns his head, I form a fist with my hand and I charge it with anger, then I punch his jaw.

"What the hell is wrong with you guys?". He says angrily.

Shit, I've awakened the monster. I'm done. 

He raises his hand, he's about to slap me. I can't dodge it. I try to move my legs, but they're too heavy to motion. Suddenly, I get grabbed back by my shirt. I look back and I fall into Enzo's arms. In the meantime, Trevor's hand freezes in the air.

"What were you gonna do? Slap her?". Enzo asks. Then he pushes me in front of him. "Slap her, I dare you!". He challenges him.

Trevor starts lowering his hand as he shrinks it and he rolls his eyes, refusing to look at me. Enzo gets me away from between them and he takes a step forward closer to Trevor. I hold his arm asking him to stop. I already punched him and took my revenge, there's no need to make bigger troubles. Regardless of my words, he didn't pay attention to what I was saying. He pushes my hand off his arm aggressively, his raged eyes are locked on Trevor. Then he takes another step forward.

Trevor is not the kind of guy who fears getting into fights with anyone, but what happened between him and Enzo yesterday must have changed everything.

"Just fuck you guys!". Trevor says and shoves Enzo.
