"Holly." Castle gasps behind me in shock.
The guy who I'm pinning against the wall has the nerve to smile down at me. "Is this your style of hooking up? A little fight and struggle then—"
My fist collides with his jaw.
His head snaps to the side with a painful noise.
"If you ever—" I snarl, grabbing the front of his shirt and landing another punch to his mouth "—talk to Castle like that ever again, I'll break your fucking bones."
He spits blood from his mouth, anger flashing in his eyes. "You stupid bitch—"
I knee him between the legs. He crumples to the ground with a shriek.
I whirl around to face the other two guys. Whatever expression I'm wearing on my face has them widen their eyes in wary. My feet start towards them with determined steps.
But they step back immediately, holding out their hands in defence.
"We're leaving." One of them says, stumbling back to get away from me.
"Don't be a pussy." I mock, striding towards them, flexing my fingers. "Get back here."
They turn around to scamper.
"Bitch!" I yell and go after them.
I don't get too far though because someone clamps their hand around my wrist, halting me. I whirl around with my fist ready to knock the asshole out.
My eyes widen when I see its Castle. My hand immediately flattens from my fists and instead of knocking him out, I end up pushing him. His back slams into the wall.
I turn again to run after those perverts, but Castle's still gripping my wrist. He yanks me back.
"Holly—stop."
"Let me at them," I growl.
"Stop." He commands, yanking me towards him. He must've used strength because my body collides with his and I stumble for a brief moment before he steadies me.
I'm still fuming, and my fists are ready to throw some more punches.
Castle senses my anger and grabs me by the arms before I go running again. "It's alright. They're gone now."
"I can still catch up to them."
I struggle to get out of his hands, but he tightens his hold on me.
"It's fine, Holly. Why are you so angry?"
"Angry?" I snap. "You're asking me why I'm angry after everyone keeps pissing me off tonight?"
"Holly—" His face softens. "You...you snapped after they threatened me."
