"though the stars light up the sky like you need light up my life. If you need me anytime, you know I'll always be right there by your side"

"I REPEAT, WHAT'S she fucking doing here?" Tynan's voice boomed, his eyes livid. Just like before, no one replied him, waiting for one person to speak up. Thankfully, a customer came to the counter to pay their bill and that kind of distracted us.

"The thing is—Delia is here because she got punched in the face" Dax took the responsibility for answering.

Again, I wasn't punched.

"Did you hit her?" Tynan asked. Dax shook his head negatively. "Then was it Zayn?"

"The fuck? Why would I do that?"

"Then, why the fuck is she here if non of you fucking punched her? Huh? Nobody else was there to fucking play Good Samaritan?"

I think it's time to go home.

"Chill man. She was bleeding, her whole face was covered in blood. How could we've let her go home like that?" Zayn said from behind me. He suddenly put both his hands on my shoulder to make me relax but it was doing the opposite because that drew Tynan's attention.

"Who Punched her?" Noel asks.

"Just one Buffy guy, we co-"

"I told you I wasn't punched, we bumped into each other!" I bellowed.

"What she keeps saying but you had to see her face" Dax said before muttering a low; "I should've taken a picture"

"Were you punched, Delia?" Noel softly asked. The guys stared at me expectedly, probably waiting for me to say; okay okay! I was punched but I didn't want to talk in fear of the man finding me and beating me up.

"No one hit me, I promise" I said. Zayn removed his hands from my shoulder and went behind the counter where uncle Bob is.

"Well, since you're fine now, shouldn't you be hitting the road home?" Tynan said calmly. My hands unconsciously fiddled with hem of my denim jacket under his scrutinizing gaze.

"Um- yo-u are right. I should leave" I stuttered, looking anywhere but him. He's so intimidating. He heaved an heavy sigh as he brushed pass me to the corner I was few minutes ago. I released a breath I didn't know I was holding in, he's intimidatingly attractive.

"You can't leave" Dax said. "You've to eat. You said you're hungry, remember?"

Oh right

"Maybe another time"

"If it's because of Ty, don't worry, he's in a bad mood. On a normal day, he wouldn't tell you to leave, so sit down and eat" Noel said. He walked away to the same corner.

"You heard that? Now c'mon, uncle Bob is a really good cook, you'll love his food" Dax said in excitement and I couldn't help but feel the same.

The guys look scary on the outside but the more I get to know them, they're really welcoming and nice to me, excluding this guy that got me feeling weird and hot. Tynan.
