summer love (Dua lipa)

Incident

Once the set finished Devin came back but he wasn't really happy this time. He had a bloody nose and his face looked rough I got up quickly and grabbed his face.
"What the hell happened" I blurt out
"They beat me for no god damn reason" he manages to say and you can tell he's holding back tears not emotional ones but physical pain ones
"Oh god here" Dua comes running from behind with her shirt to give for his bloody nose. Devins eyes widened at Dua and I couldn't help but to take a peak at what he was staring at. She had abs like really real abs more than I've seen in most men.
"Shit nice abs" I say and Devin bursts out laughing
"Thank you" Dua responds and laughs too

We all sit down on the field to see if Devin wants to leave or stay. I didn't mind leaving because Black Sabbath plays until next week but it always gets crazy during the night so we'd be missing out on that and Devin loved it too. I'm usually all for staying but if someone's hurt especially my friends I rather take care of them so I guess I was a bit of a square.

"Are we staying boy?" I ask
"Call me a square because I don't think I can handle it but you two could stay" he responds
"Nah we'll go with you right Dua" I say
"Is it cool if I stay" she asks

I look at Devin because this means I have to stay with her and I really don't want to leave Devin alone but then again Robbie will get mad at Devin and this whole trip will be ruined. We're communicating it all through our eye contact, it's hilarious how we've gotten so close that we can do that. So I just nod and that's saying whatever I'll stay.

"Yea it's cool but please don't run into the crowd where I can't see" I tell Dua
"Ace" she says which I have no idea what it means but I'm hoping it means deal because if she runs off again I won't chase her if anything I'll leave.
"Alright I'll see you guys later then" Devin says as he starts walking off

the sun is already set at this point so we start making our way toward the stage and crowd. I was walking behind Dua like if I were her guardian angel of some sort and I felt stupid. As I looked around I wondered who would have hurt Devin and why? Maybe they knew who he was and if they did that to him then they probably wanted to do worse. Once we got to a comfortable spot Dua began talking again.

"Poor Devin I'm positive those twats are in the crowd we should find them and beat them" she demands and i again burst out laughing because does she not realize where we are?
"Dua we are surrounded by stupid boys so it can be anyone plus he never told us who they were" I respond
"Unfortunately" she responds

The band starts coming out and you can feel the crowd become pressured to get to the front because they're excited. I start getting pushed and shoved by both guys and girls but it doesn't bother me because I do the same. I look towards Dua but she was gone and I felt annoyed instead of worried because why does she keep leaving me knowing it's my job to look after her. I don't think I should look around for her if she was fine last time she will this time. The band came out and right away someone offered me some pill. I obviously took them because I was here to have fun.

I was hallucinating by the end of the set but it had wore off a ton from where it was in the beginning. People were clearing off from the crowd and I looked around to see if I can spot Dua. I walked around for what felt 10 minutes and I heard someone with an English accent saying 'stop' and i quickly turned to that direction because it popped in my head that the only person with that accent was Dua. Once I got close to where she was I saw her trying to get a guy off of her and I saw a bottle on the ground and quickly ran over with it and hit him on his head. He fell to the ground.

"What the fuck is wrong with you you bitch" he says while rubbing the back of his head
"She said to stop and you didn't listen so what the fuck is wrong with you" I say while I grab Duas hand
I hadn't stared at her so I did and she looks full of distress
"Are you okay" I ask and she just nods. I can't help but think that it's sort of my fault because I lost her in the crowd but I couldn't do anything about because even when it was just me and Devin at these things we lost each other constantly.
"I didn't give him a bloody sign to touch me y/n" she says
"That's just how it is here Dua it's why we need to try to stick together" I respond
"We should have gone with Devin I'm sorry and I'm very very in debt with you now or thankful however you want to hear it" she says
"Don't be sorry Dua it could have happened anyways unfortunately but it won't as long as we stick together like I said" I respond and we finally get to the place where we are supposed to tell the organizer that we are ready to go

The car arrived and we got on, once I put my seat belt on Dua came over and laid her head on my shoulder.
"Is it okay?" She asks
"Of course" I respond
I began to feel even worse about the situation because she seems very affected by it but as I mentioned it happened rather us girls like it or not. I was surprised of how Devin was when I met him I remember not wanting to make conversation because of how guys are now but he proved me wrong and I was impressed so I became his friend but it's rare to find that now.

We get to the place and I hear snoring so that means devin is asleep. I look for the rooms and there is exactly two for both of us so I start heading into mine and when I got to shut my door she's just standing there with a lost puppy look to her.

"Do you mind if I sleep with you tonight I just" she's not able to complete her sentence because she gulps down
"Yea no problem make yourself comfortable" I give a soft smile

God was this weird but I understand her especially if it's the first time this happens. The first time it happened to me I cried myself to sleep the entire night. No one ever believes girls are innocent and apparently we're the ones who provoke them.
I lay down and turn my body away from her because it felt too weird to face her.

"You were right about American men" she randomly says
I let out a small laugh and turn to look at her because I'm planning to respond.
"I told you so" I respond
"You don't have a boyfriend?" She asks
"Im not allowed to and I'm really just not looking for any of that right now" I respond
"Allowed to? And haven't you ever fancied someone?" She asks
"My parents don't want any of that until I finish my studies and fancy?" I respond
"Fancy is when you like or love someone or something" she responds
"Ahhh well not really at least not in a romantic way I'm really just trying to have a fun time right now what about you?" I ask
"Well we have that in common because I'm really just wanting to focus on my career right now and have fun too" she responds
"You're telling me no London boy has fallen for you and your abs" I respond and laugh
"Oh trust me they have but I haven't fallen for them well I did once but you know it just ended naturally although I swear I thought you and Devin were a thing" she responds
"Me and devin? Ha nah he's just a really good friend of mine but we do get that a lot but it benefits me at least so guys don't just come up to me" I respond

Me and Devin never tried to have something like that because I think we both knew what we are and couldn't be and I loved him because of that. He was just very understanding in a way I wish I could have loved him in a romantic way but I believe it's perfect the way it worked out.

"He seems very happy to be around you and his father has also had the suspicion that you guys were two peas in a pot" she responds
"Really? How did you even come to meet Robbie"  I ask
"Back in London I am sort of a big deal so he came to a concert of mine and he was very impressed by it apparently and he screamed at me 'America has to hear you' after the concert and well here I am" she responds
"I guess today wasn't a very good experience here then huh" I respond
"Yea I don't even think I should perform for those horrible people anymore" she says
"I think you should just to show them to not mess with you because you are a damn artist and they're just assholes" I respond
"I'll think on it but in order to do that we should sleep right?" She responds and I just nod and go back to the position I was in but I feel her hand wrap around my waist
"I'm a hugger" she says and burst out laughing
"It's okay" I say
