Sapphire.

Chapter Two

RHYS'S POV.

I couldn't take my eyes off Sapphire as we walked out of the quaint little café. Her beauty and her music both having an inexplicable hold over me. I'm so happy to have her as my girlfriend. She's so lovely.

Sapphire was pretty. From the moment I saw her performing for the first time in this city, I knew Sapphire was something special. Her talent was undeniable, and her beauty simply took my breath away -it was icing on the cake. When we finally spoke, I found her to be quiet and introspective, but I was drawn to her effervescent personality hidden beneath the surface.

So when Blake invited us to his party, I saw it as an opportunity to get to have some fun with Sapphire. I hoped that in a more relaxed setting, we could connect on a deeper level.

I could sense Sapphire's apprehension as we made our way to Blake's house, but I tried to reassure her that everything would be okay. Besides, she's got me, her awesome boyfriend.

When we arrived at the party, the music was blaring and the alcohol was flowing. The place was packed with people, most of whom I didn't know. But I spotted Blake and his bandmates near the bar, and we made our way over to them.

Introducing Sapphire to the guys was easy - they were all very welcoming. Blake, in particular, was incredibly friendly, and I could tell he was interested in her and though I felt a twinge of jealousy, I chose to ignore it, reminding myself that Sapphire is mine.

The party began to blur into a frenzy of dancing, drinking, and lost time. Blake led us to a corner of the room, where a group of people were gathered around a table covered in drugs.

I felt a pang of disgust. I had never been into that kind of thing, and I didn't like the idea of Sapphire being exposed to it.

But before I could say anything, Blake handed me a pill.

"Come on, man," he said. "Live a little."

I hesitated for a moment, but then, pressure drowned me. So I swallowed the pill, and let myself be swept up in the party.

I spotted Sapphire having a conversation with a couple of people. She seemed to be blending in a little, she glanced towards me, almost as if she sensed my eyes on her, she put on a quick smile and I winked at her.

I turned and continued talking to Blake- which I later realized was just a waste of my time. He was boring me with topics I didn't care about, like how his new car got stolen by his friend and how much he loved the car - blah blah blah

For a while, everything was a blur. I danced with Sapphire, drank too much, and lost track of time. But then, as the night wore on, I started to feel a sense of dread creeping up on me.

It was like a voice in the back of my mind, telling me that this was a mistake. That I shouldn't have brought Sapphire here. That I was in over my head.

As I stumbled through the party, searching for Sapphire, I realized that I had lost her. Panic set in, and I started to push my way through the crowd, shouting her name.

Finally, I spotted her in a corner of the room, surrounded by Blake and his friends. They were laughing and joking, and Sapphire seemed to be having a good time - or not.

But something about the scene made me uneasy. Blake was standing too close to Sapphire, and his hand almost resting on her shoulder. I felt a surge of jealousy and anger.

I pushed my way through the crowd, and before I knew it, I was face to face with Blake.

"What the hell are you doing?" I shouted, grabbing the collar of his shirt.

Blake smirked, dismissing my concerns. "Relax, man. We're just having some fun."

But I wasn't buying it. I could see the hunger in his eyes, the way he was looking at Sapphire like she was a piece of meat.

"Fun?, she's my girlfriend, dude!" I said angrily. "Back. Off."

I grabbed Sapphire's hand, pulling her away from Blake and his friends.

"We're leaving," I said, my voice cold.

Sapphire looked up at me. I could tell she was super uncomfortable.

"Thanks." she said, her voice trembling.

But I didn't reply. I just led her out of the party, my heart pounding in my chest.

As we stumbled out into the street, I knew that I had made a mistake. Bringing Sapphire. It was suck a terrible idea.

Sapphire looked at me with gratitude in her eyes, and I knew at that moment that I had done the right thing. I took her hand again and walked together into the cool night air straight up to my car.
