CW: slight flashbacks,fighting,drinking,uncomfortable situations, etc.

Nearly 2 hours into this "party" everyone is already drunk, I say party lightly because it's just a bunch of Minecraft YouTubers or streamers, with the exception of a few people I've never seen before, drinking and watching their own videos with music blaring. Not much partying happening.

For the most part I was glued to either Clay or George's sides. After George gets bored him and a few others decide to do an impromptu drink stream. And not able to find Clay or Nick in the pool of people I decide to go pour myself a drink to keep myself occupied.

As I walk into the kitchen grabbing the liquor and a cup, I hear an alarmingly familiar voice. "Hey gorgeous" I hear the voice slur out, suddenly there's a pair of hands on my waist, my body instantly freezes and turns to look to identify the hands and voice. There stood a tall, muscular man. I almost couldn't believe my eyes. It was Daniel. It was my ex.

How he managed to get here I'll never know. My body in a shocked phase couldn't bring myself to say any words. Instead I just stood there. A lump in my throat forming as suddenly the flashbacks started rolling in. The literal years of him slapping,punching, pushing me. All came back to me.

"What's wrong? Miss me?" He says smugly, pulling me in closer to him, pushing  my back slightly against the counter. "W-what are you doing here?" I stutter out through panic. He chuckles, "I have connections to people who know your little 'friend', was told there was a party and couldn't miss out" he says with a smirk. "He's not my 'friend' Daniel, Clay is my boyfriend" I reply, his smug expression shifted, to something very familiar, anger. Suddenly, he's gripping my arms tightly, as tightly as he used to before he would hit me.

The panic in my body, shifting to something bolder. Pure fear. Daniel raises his hand suddenly and smacks me, "you can't be serious Eva, you can't be with someone else, you know you belong to me" he mutters out. Tears start rolling down my face and the only thing I could think about was how much I wished Clay would walk through those kitchen doors and see what this man was doing to me. It was almost like he could read my mind too, because suddenly the kitchen door creaks open, and Nick and Clay appear, stopping their conversation to process what is happening.

A wave of anger must have washed through Clay because without hesitation, he throws his cup down and runs over to us, Nick following close behind, it was like Nick and Clay were communicating with each other through their eyes, they glance at each other and suddenly a punch was thrown at Daniel, causing him to release me. As he released me, a more comforting, warm, pair of hands pull me in, hugging tightly as I bury my face in their chest. I glance up and it was Nick. I glance over at the two men fighting and realize, Clay is the one who threw the punch.

After they threw a few punches, Clay grabs Daniel by the collar of his shirt, pushing him against the fridge. "Who are you, and why are you putting your hands on my girlfriend" Clay pits out through his teeth. Daniels smug expression not fading in the slightest, "ask her who I am" Daniel says. Clay glanced over to me with questioning eyes, words unable to form in my mouth, I managed to whisper out, "he's my ex..", Clay's brows raise, "take her upstairs Nick" Clay says loudly. Nick nods and guides me upstairs, opening my bedroom door Nick follows me in, closing the door.

"Are you okay?" Nick asks, hugging me again. "Yeah, it was just a shock to see him here" I begin saying, getting cut off by the lump in my throat. Now an emotional mess, I slam my face into Nicks chest, he sits down on my floor, spreading his legs out to throw mine over them, allowing me to cry in his chest without standing. He wraps his arms around me and puts his chin on my head, running his hand up and down my back, trying to comfort me.

We must've been sitting like that for an hour before I finally calmed down enough to lift my head from his chest. Clay still wasn't back yet, I didn't even know his plan with Daniel. I glance up at Nick, "I'm sorry Nick I-" I was cut off by Nick tucking a piece of hair behind my ear, placing the hand on my cheek. "Eva, can I tell you something?" He says softly. "Um- I" I begin , cut off again by Nick leaning his face closer to mine. It took a few seconds for me to realize what was happening. Nick was leaning in to kiss me.

AN: long chapter sorry, also leaning on a cliffhanger. Will Eva let Nick kiss her🤔
