Not Dead

Chapter Seven - Parties Suck

Your P.O.V.

—-------------

A random frat boy had made his way over to my car and decided the best place for him was leaning against my car.

"I'm not lonely I was just dropping someone off." He smirks at me.

"Well you could stay and we could have some fun." I sigh.

"Dude, I'm not invited." He laughs.

"I can let you in, come on girl quit being such a drag." He opens my door dragging me out. He closes the door and pulls me into the party. My eyes immediately start searching for Tom. I know he hates me but he's smart enough to not leave me in this situation. I finally spot him and we lock eyes for a moment. I give him a look trying to tell him to get me out of here. I'm desperately trying to convince this guy to let go of me but his grip is too tight and he's persistent. He drags me onto the dance floor and hands me a drink, urging me to drink it. I'm not stupid, I can tell he's trying to drug me. I refuse and he gets angry. He pulls me to a corner and pushes me into a wall.

"Just drink the beer, a little drink isn't gonna kill you." I refuse yet again and he holds my jaw trying to force the drink into my mouth, I start to tear up. I keep punching and thrashing but he's just too strong. I'm about to give up then a fist comes flying at the guy holding me down. I look up to see Tom. I'm so relieved that tears start to fall down my face. I go to hug him but the other guy stands back up. He shouts at Tom.

"What the fuck man! You've been flirting with chicks all night, what's so special about this one that you had to ruin my fun!?" Tom is glaring the guy down. He glances at me for a moment and he pulls me behind him. Tom finally speaks.

"This one, she's mine." The guy laughs.

"No guy has his girlfriend drop him off at a party. Come on man you and I have the same goals in mind, we just want to have fun for one night." I frown and come out from behind Tom.

"You were gonna fucking drug me, asshole!" He laughs.

"You would have liked it anyway skank." Now I wanna punch the guy. The guy speaks again.

"Fine, you can have her but you have to prove it, kiss her, and make it believable." Tom turns to me with a concerned look on his face. He turns to the guy and rests his hand on the guy's shoulder and the guy crumples over in pain. Tom grabs my hand and pulls me out of the building and to my car. I know he doesn't like me all that much but that kinda hurt. He pulls me over to my car and I lean against it and look down at my feet as he stands in front of me with his arms crossed. He sighs in frustration and I look up at him.

"What the hell happened? You were supposed to head home."

"I tried that guy quite literally dragged me out of my car before I could leave."

"God you are so helpless, if we weren't around you'd be dead by now." I turn my head away from him. I go to open my car door and he stops me by trapping me between his arms.

"I hate you so much, you make me so angry, and yet I'm falling into the same hole as the rest of the guys. I am so undeniably attracted to you. I don't get it, I would never step in to save anyone else, and yet when it came to you I couldn't stop myself." I look up at him.

"That's a strong confession from the guy who pussied out of kissing me." He laughs.

"I can't believe you're upset about that." I flush red and look away.

"I'm sorry, that was a dumb thing to think about, I was almost drugged." He grabs the side of my face.

"Why do you want to kiss me so bad anyways?"

"I don't know, I guess I was kinda disappointed when someone I know would kiss a stranger wouldn't kiss me even though he knows me." He strokes my cheek with his thumb which causes me to flush red. He leans in catching my lips in a kiss. I close my eyes and kiss back. I feel him smirk into the kiss, he pulls away and rests his forehead on mine.

"So was it what you expected?" I nod.

"Better." He chuckles and lets go of me walking around to the passenger's side of the car. I get in the driver's side and look over at him.

"I thought you were hungry." he laughs.

"There was enough sexual energy in that party to feed like ten incubi." I nod and pull my car out of the parking spot.

"Fair." We head home and get out of the car. I open the door and I'm immediately pulled into a hug. It's Gustav.

"You said you'd be right back I got so worried that something happened." I hug him back.

"Something almost did happen but Tom saved me." Gustav lets go of me and looks at Tom. I look over at Tom and he shrugs. Gustav picks me up and brings me over to the couch. He sets me on his lap and holds onto me.

"I'm fine Gustav I promise." He sighs.

"I know you just smell like alcohol and Tom." I chuckle and let him hold me.

"I didn't take you for the jealous type Gustav." He blushes and looks away.

"It's okay I'm glad that you care." I lean into him relaxing into his hold.

I'm glad that I have people around to protect me. Tom was kind of right, I would be dead without them.
